Chapter 112 - Auction ( 4 )

"Boss… I already gathered all the information about that young man…"

"Good! Hurry! Tell me, is he someone with a powerful background?" Fabrice immediately felt better as soon as he heard his bodyguard's report.

He has been annoyed already since he was only able to win a single Insight Pill which made him spend a total of 27.5 million! He was thinking that one of them would only reach at least 15 million after all!

Anyway, even though he knows that it is too expensive but he has no other choice. They have to develop a new and better Crystal Hunter to defeat the White Wolf Navigation Company.

Their finest engineer is about to develop one! He already managed to develop a Crystal Hunter similar to the level that the White Wolf had created. However, they can't be happy with just having the same level as them. They needed something new and that would only be possible if their engineer could take one of these pills as he have requested before.

"He doesn't have an amazing family background, young master. His name is Cyril Vermont. His parents are already dead. He was just living a simple life before he Awakened. The only concern is that he joined the Awakened Association and his record shows that he's an A-Rank Awakened."

The bodyguard reported what he just briefly read online.

"Is that so? Since he's an A-Rank, it is indeed quite troublesome. However, it hasn't been two months since he awakened? Then he must've had terrible skills and incomplete Artifacts as his weapons… Any C-Rank with full equipment and real exploration experience should be capable of dealing with him…"

Fabrice's guess can be correct since a powerful Awakened can't be created in a single day. He has to be sent to numerous Explorations before he can truly develop and shine amongst the crowd.

With this in mind, he decided not to overly think Cyril's status. Though he's only a D-Rank Awakened… He has several C-Rank Guards who have been in numerous life and death battle.

Trolls, Gnomes, Hobgoblins, and even Orcs can be defeated by his guards as long as they have proper equipment.

A man who barely has experience would surely not last that long against them…

"Tell, Jacob and the others to deal with him once he goes outside later on. Take everything he has--Wait… There's a woman beside her… who is that?"

"Oh! She should be his guardian… I'm not sure of her name but she should be his aunt who has been living with him after Cyril's parents died..."

"I see… She looks really pretty. Don't harm her."

"Haha! I understand boss. Don't worry about that."

"Fine… Just make sure that no one knows about this, understood?" Though Fabrice knows that he can't be easily implicated even though there might be evidence left behind, he still didn't want to trouble his father in making a move to clear things up. It's better if he could do this without having his father knows all about this.

"Yes, boss!"

The man quickly left the building to prepare for their plan. He knows that he can't do it inside the Hotel in the first place. Fabrice was now left with only two guards beside him but it doesn't really matter since he should be safe here.

***

Cyril remained unaware of Fabrice's pettiness as he continued to enjoy the auction…

As expected of the Meddus Paramount, the highlights of the auction were truly their items related to medicine.

They did have several Grade 3 Pills like Berserk Pill and Tracking Pill. They also auctioned off a rare Max Stealth Potion which have never appeared in the Market online!

Though the effectivity is only an hour… This potion can be considered as a game changer in any important battles!

Though it is only a Grade 3 Potion, the fact that no one knows its ingredients is really troubling. Right now, only the elves can concoct these potions and only a few lucky people could trade them.

Even Cyril decided to bid on this potion and bought a single flask worth 3.5 million. Fabrice actually appeared interested with the potion but surprisingly, the man allowed him to win the potion without any hint of displeasure. Fabrice even appears to be glad the he purchased the item instead.

'Weird… Is there something wrong with the potion?' Cyril wryly smiled but checking the authenticity of the potion shouldn't be a problem for him. The Meddus Paramount's abilities can't be doubted after all.

'Hmph… Whatever…' Cyril decided not to think about it as he waited for the final item to be shown on the stage.

"I know that everyone has been waiting for this final items! We would like to thank you all for your patience… However, I'm sure that you guys won't regret it! Come on… Show them the precious beauties to be auctioned off!"

Eve said as she waited for the other girls assisting her to unwrap the final items…

Soon, three purple crystals astounded everyone in the hall!

Three Entrance Crystals!

"Two mid-class and one high-class?!"

"No way! This is crazy!"

"Why would their company sell such precious Entrance Crystal?!"

"The mid-class makes sense if there aren't any resources to be farmed there… However, all the high-class Crystals should have something to help an Awakened!"

"That's true… I wonder what they're thinking right now? This annual event… They've truly prepared so much to make it successful…"

"Haa~ Perhaps the company is needing a quick money? I heard that they recently tried to develop a healing potion but ultimately failed after numerous tries… Someone even managed to develop one faster than them… It probably hurt their pride and wanted to obtain more budget as quickly as possible…"

The crowd started wondering about the company's real objective.

As Cyril heard this, he couldn't help but tense up. What the man just said might actually be true. He created the Lesser Healing Potion earlier than the original timeline.

It should've only appeared in the next few years and it probably changed the company's original plans for this year!

'Well, it might not be true as well… Perhaps there's a problem inside the High-Class Arcane World?' He could only think of this as he waited for the bidding to start.
