nThe Auction began and Sam threw a spatial ring to Watt and said.

n

"Buy whatever you like and don't forget to bid for Carton. I will tell you if I need anything. Don't care about the price.

nThe money would be the least of our worries.

nSam relaxed after saying this, as he spectated the Auction.

nThere are many people who attended the auction. This auction is completely full of war spoils. There are special weapons of some generals, special treasures and heirlooms of some Dukes and Marquises. There are many other things. Apart from that, there is also the equipment collected from the dead bodies of the enemy soldiers which are auctioned in bulk.

nThe war slaves are the last category. Watt didn't buy any of the treasures. They have a boatload of them, but he doesn't use the treasures of this quality. Everything Sam makes is more efficient and of more effectiveness in the battle.

nThe turn for War slaves came. The Nascent stage cultivators are last, so it started from Acolytes who are auctioned in groups of thirty people.

nAfter that, the initial stage Novices are auctioned off and soon the time for Peak stage Novices came. From then on, people are auctioned individually.

nSam looked at Watt, who didn't buy anything but he seemed to be eager for something, so he didn't mind. He is waiting for the finale. He didn't know if the finale is a great object or a powerful slave, but if it is something interesting, he can buy it off.

nSam observed the slaves closely, to be honest, this auction is quite boring. The people who came to buy are mostly nobility and they want these things to be in their collection to increase their status and glory.

nBut for the slaves, they would be bought according to their ability.

nWhile he watched as the auction went on, finally some special slaves are out for the auction.

nThese people comprised of the noble scions and ladies. They are well-groomed and taught greatly and there is a high chance they have the arts of their families in their possession. The ladies will make a great collection in their harem. Apart from that, they are young and at Peak stage Novice after some brainwashing, they can be good assets to groom for their potential. So, they are hot stuff in the auction.

nSoon two familiar faces appeared on the auction. They are Princess Natalie and a blond woman in a red dress who pleaded Sam to leave Natalie alone.

nHe was a bit surprised. He does know that Natalie would be a special treat, but this Blond woman is a whole different story.

nThe auctioneer announced.

n

"The Princess of the Orion Natalie and the Fiancee of the late Crown Prince of Orion Felicia.

nThe contract for a decade.

nThe first bid for Princess Natalie.

nInitial bid 1 million spirit stones.

"

n

"1 million and one hundred thousand.

"

n

"1 million and three hundred thousand.

"

n

"1 million and five hundred thousand.

"

nThe bidding started.

nAll of the have only one aim and that is to first bid for the princess, then put her through some cruel tasks and after a month or two offer her a hand in marriage. This way, they would have the princess of the defeated empire as their wife or consort.

nBut Sam is not interested in the bidding war. Rather he was a bit surprised by the revelation that blond is the fiancée of the Crown Prince.

nHe didn't know this at all. He didn't here any family names too and no nobility in the former imperial capital has ever bragged about their girl being the future empress.

nAnd from what her brother spoke earlier, there is a high chance that she was forced into the marriage.

nThen there might be something special about the girl and Sam is not stupid enough to think that it is because of her looks.

nA crown prince giving a girl his fiancée status just for her looks, it is almost laughable. And from the mindset of the emperor, he wouldn't do something so silly without any benefits and he has to say that Felicia is ten times more beautiful than Natalie, but he is still unwilling to believe that she got all of this because of her looks.

nHe was quite curious, but it was only that much, not to the extent that he has to bid for her.

nBut he noticed someone else was interested and that is Watt.

nSoon, bidding for the Princess is over with over twenty million. He would say that it is pretty cheap. After all, she is a princess.

nNext up was Felicia and for her, the bidding was not as fierce. It only reached ten million and the highest bidder was also a special guest in the private room and obviously, Sam doesn't know who that person is.

nBut from the voice, he is pretty young.

n

"Fifteen million.

" Watt raised his bid. Sam is still nonchalant, but Philip and Jack are surprised.

n

"Oh Watt, you want a slave now? Why are you bidding?

" Philip asked casually. Watt didn't reply.

nSam looked at Felicia all the time, she is looking towards the backstage time to time and he noticed that her brother was the next person on the auction. She seemed to be completely unconcerned of who bid for her.

nHer only concern seemed to be being separated from her brother. Sam gave an amused smile. He could understand this situation all too well.

nMeanwhile, the bidding continued.

nThe person who bid for her earlier and Watt are having a bidding war and now the price is at twenty-five million.

n

"Twenty-Six million.

" The other guy said and Sam was already getting tired of this.

n

"What are you doing giving such small rises? Did you not learn anything from staying with me? Just crush that guy. I don't like this type of bidding war.

" His words came out lazily and filled with some frustration.

n

"Thirty million.

" Watt bid again and the crowd was already in an uproar. Natalie had her face sulking. She was sad because someone was putting a price on her, but it was oddly infuriating for her when she saw that Felicia is valued higher than her.

nThe person who bid for Felicia was in a slight pause and bid again.

n

"Thirty-One million.

"

n

"Forty million.

" Watt followed up.

n

"Forty-one million.

"

n

"Fifty million.

"

nThis time, there is no bid rather that person spoke.

n

"Friend right there, you should think before you bid. After all, it is safe to know the depth of waters before you try to jump in.

" This is clearly a threat. Watt looked at Sam. He was asking for the confirmation. After all, his main priority is not to bring any trouble for Sam.

nAnd the latter only replied with the same nonchalance.

nSo, watt replied.

n

"Are we bidding or are we talking?

"

nThis made the crowd go silent. So, that must mean this guy is quite a famous one.

nBut Sam didn't care. He was bored to the point of walking away and if not for his curiosity towards the finale and for Watt finish purchasing, he would have done so.

nHe is also thinking that Watt is not good with his words, just now his words are too passive and he has to teach him a thing or two.

nBut he doesn't know that Watt already pissed someone off with just those words.

n

"Well, we will see how far you can go?

" That guy replied and bid.

n

"Sixty million.

"

n

"Seventy million.

"

n

"Eighty Million.

"

n

"One hundred million.

" Watt's bid stunned that guy for a second and then he started bidding again.

n

"One hundred and ten million.

"

n

"One hundred and thirty million.

"

n

"One hundred and fifty million.

"

n

"Two hundred million.

" Watt increased his bid again. He knew that with Sam's money this is peanuts and as Sam said. Money is one thing they don't have to worry about at all.

n

"Two hundred and ten million. This time the voice sounded a bit hesitant.

n

"Two hundred and fifty million.

" Watt wanted to deliver a final blow and this time it worked. There was no following bid.

n

"I suspect you don't have that much money to pay. You are only doing this to falsely increase the price. I demand an auction house to check that person.

" That guy started throwing a tantrum and now it is Sam's turn to be pissed.

nNobody likes to be called out like this. And certainly, a billionaire like wouldn't either.

nThe auctioneer stopped the bid and started thinking. Judging from this he understood what is going to happen, which increased his irritation.

nAn attendant came and said.

n

"Sir, we request to have your cooperation…

"

nBefore he could finish, Sam broke the one-way glass and threw the spatial ring to the stage and said in a loud voice.

n

"Just for this pocket change? You dare to ask for my cooperation? Sure, you can check the spatial ring and after that, I demand that person to be inspected as well, and if the result is not as open as mine and not as satisfactory, be ready to face the consequences.

"

nSam's voice was loud and ruthless, which indicated he meant business.

nAuctioneer took the spatial ring and carefully inspected the ring and when he saw the amount, he almost bit his tongue. Generally, the transaction will not be completed with just spirit stones when the amount is high.

nThey will exchange that in form of other resources, but seeing that much amount all together blew me off.

nAt this point, Nayana also recognized that problem has come. She just took a back seat to see how Sam would handle this and this is normal to check the new customers to maintain the integrity of the auction. Even though it is disrespectful for the customers, they wouldn't say anything in fear of pissing off someone powerful who is behind the auction house.

nShe thought that Sam would be the same and she couldn't be more wrong.

nHe is as straightforward as he was told to be.

nHe would never swallow an insult no matter how powerful the opponent is. This is going to be troublesome.
