Chapter 225: People in Power

225- People in Power

Meanwhile, the auction continued.

Liza Dohm started the countdown once again,

“12,000 gold coins for the first time.”

“12,000 gold coins for the second time.”

Just as Liza Dohm was about to make the last call, inside the Chan Clan’s room, Elder Jit gritted his teeth and made his bid,

“12,500 gold coins.”

As soon as his voice fell, Liza Dohm stopped her countdown.

And then without any hesitation, Orochi increased the price,

“13,000 gold coins.”

Meanwhile, other people attending the auction watched this bidding war between Orochi and Chan Clan, with great interest. Especially, when Orochi increased the bid after a member of the Chan Clan raised the bid.

Seeing that the person [Orochi], still dares to bid a higher after he made the bid and compete against him, Elder Jit Chan felt that the opponent (Orochi), has slapped his and his clan’s face in front of everyone present in the auction hall.

He felt that Orochi has disrespected his Chan clan, by going against him.

So, thinking about this, the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger.

He has made the decision that after the auction, he will show this person (Orochi) what happens when you offend someone you should not have offended.

This is what happens when people in power face situations like these.

A person in power does not like to hear ‘no’ from those below him and the same goes when they see people below him trying to challenge his authority.

A person in power feels that he is the king and everyone else who is below him, is an insect that can only hope not to be crushed by powerful people.

Here, just because Orochi made the bid, Elder Jit Chan got angry.

Why?

Because as he is from the Chan clan and he feels that anything the Chan Clan and its member is interested in, it must be presented to them in a golden plate and other competitors must bow their heads and accept their defeat.

But now suddenly, someone goes against him, he is not able to handle that.

And when he saw that the opposite person (Orochi) is sitting in the Silver grade VIP room, indirectly his guard got lowered and an invisible sense of superiority started to develop inside him.

Because in his eyes, only those people sitting in the Gold Grade VIP room hold certain capital which makes their Chan clan wary of them. As for those sitting in the Silver grade and Bronze Grade room, if they had such a strong capital that is enough to threaten their Chan clan, then they wouldn’t be sitting in those rooms.

So, without any scruples, Jit Chan decided to send Orochi to his afterlife.

But this is where he is made a serious mistake.

If he was cool-headed and properly thought for a while, then he would realize that although the people sitting in the silver grade VIP room might have lower background than their Chan clan, but not everyone is like that.

And this “might”, is what Elder Jit Chan ignored.

What if there was a cool-headed and smart person in the place of Elder Jit Chan, then he might come to the conclusion that,

Not everyone in the Silver grade VIP room is a simple person.

Maybe the person sitting in that room, was made to sit there because maybe all the Gold Grade VIP rooms are full?

Or maybe the person sitting in the Silver room, is a traveler, who is new to the Windy Country and does not possess a VIP card, but paid the fees for the Silver Grade room?

But all this is when the situation is ‘what if’?

And the reality is always cruel.

Due to the heat of the moment, Jit Chan ignored these facts and now, he & his clan will pay for their actions, because they are trying to mess with someone that neither he nor his clan handle.

.

After Orochi made his bid, Liza Dohm started the countdown,

“13,000 gold coins for the first time.”

“13,000 gold coins for the second time.”

Shak Chan, who is sitting beside Elder Jit Chan, hurriedly spoke to Elder Jit,

“Elder Jit, make the bid. Or else, the first bottle of Red Bamboo Water will fall into that bastard's hands.”

Hearing this, Elder Jit Chan replied with a cold smile,

“Hmph. Let him have it because anyhow after the auction, things will fall into our hands.”

His voice was filled with killing intent.

Hearing this, Shak Chan was shocked for a moment and then a smile appeared on his face as he asked,

“That means, Elder Jit wants to take action.”

Hearing this, Elder Jit nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Shak Chan laughed.

.

“13,000 gold coins for the third time.”

“And Sold.”

“Congratulations to the esteemed guest sitting in the Silver Room: 12, for obtaining a bottle of Red Bamboo water.”

Liza Dohm congratulated while looking in the direction of Orochi’s room.

Inside the room, Orochi did not have any expression on his face, as he heard this.

Suddenly, his left eye twitched and he looked in a certain direction and started frowning.

Then next second, a smile appeared on his face,

“Hehe... looks like there are few people who think of themselves as king of the world. Good exercise and lots of Exp... can’t wait for it.”

His ability ‘Perception and intuition’ is truly something. Because of it, Orochi can perceive things around his surroundings.

And with the ‘Sense’ stat working hand-in-hand, he can even sense the killing intent emitted from Chan Clan’s room, which is dozens of meters away from him.

.

After the first bottle of Red Bamboo water was bought by Orochi, the second and third bottles were also sold at 12,000 and 13,000 gold coins.

And they were bought by the Willow Sword sect and the Chan Clan.

The so-called Stormy Sect and other people in the Gold Rooms, could not compete against or did not want to use such a large amount to buy Red Bamboo water.

Seeing the results, Orochi was happy, because he can get all the two bottles of Red Bamboo water without paying anything.

After the three bottles of Red Bamboo water was auctioned, a servant bought 10 red bamboo shells and Liza Dohm picked one of them and announced,

“The next item on today’s auction list is the Red Bamboo shell. As I mentioned earlier, Red Bamboo Shell is extremely useful for those in the Mortal realm. And if people eat the food cooked in the Red Bamboo shells, it will have great effects on one’s body and cultivation.”
