This meant that should Rudra surpass his bid for 500 million , he would have to give up on the one item he so desperately needed.

” Damn you king room two …. May worms eat your intestine and may your teeth rot by eating too much sweets “. Dronacharya cursed .

He placed the new bid at 350 million and waited in anticipation over what was to happen next.

” 350 million from VIP3 “. The foxman announced , however immediately a bid for 450 million came from Rudra.

BANG!

Dronacharya banged his hands on the table as he felt rage boil up inside his body.

He was sure that nobody in this world should understand the secret of those ruins as much as he did , however some idiot still seemed to bid billions of dollars on an item which he did not truly understand.

500 million …. He typed with shaky hands , as this was the utmost limit of what he could bid for. However the system immediately warned him as there was a system notification.

System notification : Insufficient balance for this bid , available balance 498.6 million gold coins . Please revise the bid .

Dronacharya felt like vommitting blood , he had nearly prepared one trillion dollars for the auction , for an item that did not even sell for 100 million in his past life , however here he was bidding uptill his last penny , becoming completely broke in the process.

” 498.5 million gold ! ” Announced the fox-man auctioneer as Rudra raised an eyebrow at the number.

He had a strong gut feeling that the reason for bidding such an odd number could only be that the player in VIP3 was at the extreme limits of his monetary fund , hence Rudra found himself in a dilemma on wether to bid for the item anymore or not.

He thought about it for a second and then decided that he would do the minimum increment of 0.5 million gold , and then let fate decide if this item was meant for him or not .

Should the person in VIP3 place a higher bid , he would let it go , or else this item was his and so was revenge.

Rudra placed a bid of 499 million gold , as everyone in the auction arena started to whisper and talk.

” 499 million from the gentleman in king room 2 “. The Auctioneer announced and everyone felt that the new bid from VIP 3 was just around the corner . However shockingly that bid never came ….

” 499 million goes once ! “.

” 499 million goes twice ! “.

” SOLD ! to the gentleman in king room 2 for 499 million gold coins “.

Dronacharya felt like banging his head on the ground as miserable was not even a correct way to phrase his state of being.

He felt anger , hatred and helplessness at once alongwith stress , anxiety and depression. He felt a cocktail of negetive emotions and negetive energy as he looked towards the heavens and wondered ‘ WHY? WHY HIM? ‘

Was he not supposed to be a chosen who was going to stand on top of the world with his reincarnation cheat ? , Was he not supposed to trample every opponent that came in his way to become the undisputed number one?

Then why was fate playing games with him time and time again , with him loosing at every turn of the way?

The fact that the opponent won the bid with the minimum increment over his budget limit also served as a hateful event that burnt his soul.

Not only did that person get the item , but he also did it at the best possible cost!

” I need to find out who is king room 2 , i need to make a backdoor deal with him , sign a contract to pay him 2 trillion dollars for the item over a period of 3 years….. Yes , i must do it! I must get that key! , I MUST! “. dronacharya had lost his mind , even though at the start of the auction he had suspected that king room 2 might be shakuni of the elites , he still went ahead and sent an invite to meet the person in king room 2 at this moment.

He had completely forgotten about his suspicions as his mind worked in a unilateral direction at the moment , which was to get the item . However never would he realize that this was the greatest mistake he could have ever made in his life , as this one small event would turn out to be his undoing.

System notification :

VIP3 has requested a meeting

Accept. Reject.

A system notification popped up on Rudra’s king room screen , as he raised an eyebrow at this unlikely invitation.

However since the owner of VIP3 had the item he wanted and Rudra needed to know the identity of the man in VIP3 to get it from him sooner or later, Rudra decided to accept this invitation .

With him accepting , landscape changing events were set into motion , as while the auction continued with other mega items , dronacharya was making his way from VIP 3 towards Rudra’s room.

He had thought about it all in his mind , and how he would convince the owner of king room 2 to lend him the item , as dronacharya was even ready to beg and sign a contract worth upto 5 trillion dollars for the item , however he was about to recieve the biggest shock in his life when he would enter the king room 2.

Fate had brought two arch-enemies, Shakuni of the elites and the prophet dronacharya together under the same roof !
