East Meet West

223- Orochi's Plan 2

As Liza Dohm finished introducing the ‘Red Bamboo water’, she looked at everyone’s expression and smiled with satisfaction.

Various discussions started among the crowd. Even the VIP rooms got noisy.

Because the effects of ‘Red Bamboo water’ and ‘Red Bamboo’ are truly appealing to all the cultivators present in the auction hall. Especially for the Human stage cultivators present in the auction hall.

She then continued.

“Today we are auctioning about 3 bottles of ‘Red Bamboo water’ and 10 ‘Red Bamboo Shells’.”

Hearing the first part of the sentence, many people’s excitement dimmed but when they heard the last part, many people’s excitement peaked to the limit, especially the people whose cultivation is in the Mortal realm, were very much looking forward to the auction of ‘Red Bamboo Shells’.

“The starting price of each bottle of ‘Red Bamboo water’ is 1100 gold coins. And each increase in bid must be higher than 100 gold coins.”

As soon as her voice fell, crazy bidding started in the auction hall,

“1200 Gold Coins.”

“Pah!!! Still bidding such low amounts... I bid 1600 gold coins.”

“I bid 1800 gold coins.”

.

.

Within few seconds, the price crossed 3000 gold coins.

And the number of people bidding also decreased drastically.

Suddenly, a dignified sound rang in the auction hall,

“5000 Gold coins.”

As soon as the voice fell, almost everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came.

It was then revealed that a person sitting in the Silver room was the one who made the bid.

But suddenly, another voice rang in the auction hall.

“5500 Gold coins.”

This time the voice came from a Gold Room.

Just when people felt that the price will not increase anymore, things proved that they were wrong.

Because one after another, people sitting in the VIP rooms started bidding.

“5700 Gold Coins.”

“5900 Gold Coins.”

“6000 Gold Coins.”

“7000 Gold Coins.”

“7300 Gold Coins.”

.

Finally, at 8000 gold coins, the bidding came to a halt.

At the same time, Liza Dohm’s voice rang.

“Esteemed guest from the Gold Room no. 19, has made a bid of 8000 gold coins. Is there anyone else willing to increase the bid?”

“9000 gold coins.”

Another dignified voice rang in the auction hall.

Hearing this, Orochi's eyes moved as he realized that the voice who increased the bid came from Alex Xavier’s room.

‘Heh... looks like your backing is here? Good... I also wanted to exercise a little.’

Orochi wanted to make a bid, but since people related to Alex Xavier have made the bid, he decided to quit.

Why?

Because after the auction, all things and belongings of Alex Xavier’s group will land in his hands, including the things they buy in today’s auction.

So, why waste money?

Just as Liza Dohm was about to start the countdown, another voice rang in the auction hall.

“Hehehe... Jack Xavier is that you? I understand that your Willow sword sect is interested in ‘Red Bamboo Water’, but unfortunately our Stormy Sect is also interested in it. So, give up. I bid 9500 Gold Coins.”

In response, Alex Xavier’s father- Jack Xavier answered,

“Hmph. Old Silva, don’t you think that this is the wrong time for daydreaming? ‘Red Bamboo Water’ is destined to fall into the hands of our Willow Sword Sect. I bid 10,000 gold coins.”

Another voice rang in the auction hall,

“Sigh, two fellows you can bicker after the auction, but this ‘Red Bamboo water’ will be bought by the Chan Clan. I bid 11,000 gold coins.”

The voice belonged to some old guy from the Chan Clan.

And when everyone heard this voice, they were shocked. Because the owner of the voice declared that the overlord of the town of Chans, is interested in Red Bamboo water. So, few groups of people started to get wary and prepared mentally that if the owner of this voice bid for any item, then their first plan of action is- to give up their hopes on getting the item.

Not only were people started to get wary and hold similar thoughts of quitting, against the Chan clan. But their thoughts were similar against the people from the Willow sword sect and Stormy sect because these three powers are a huge behemoth in the eyes of normal people.

A kind of tension was generating among the crowd.

Seeing this, Liza Dohm started to frown and called out to a servant nearby and whispered few words.

A few seconds later, an old man walked onto the stage.

“Everyone please be quiet.”

The old man’s voice was loud and clear.

And in response to this, people immediately became quiet.

Then he raised his head towards the third floor and his eyes darted along the direction of all the rooms present on that floor, his gaze stayed at the rooms of Willow sword sect, Stormy Sect, and Chan clan for few moments and he continued to speak,

“I hope that esteemed guests remember that this is the Golden Cloud Chamber of commerce’s building and here we treat every customer fairly. And if any customer tries to threaten other customers in any way or create trouble or show off their background, then I will be forced to take serious actions.”

His tone was full of warnings, as he eyed the rooms of Willow sword sect, Stormy Sect, and Chan clan.

When his voice fell, no one dared to make a sound. The whole auction building was so silent that even the sounds of breathing could be heard.

Orochi who was looking at all this, almost laughed out as he imagined the ugly and fearful faces of the people sitting in the VIP rooms.

Orochi is well aware that the words spoken by the old man are not false.

From the ‘Observation skill,’ he knew that the old man’s cultivation has reached the Super Human stage, which in this town, is like an overlord level figure. So, with that strength, he can single handedly topple almost every powerhouse present in the city. So, he can be as willful as he wants.

Not to mention, that a behemoth like Golden Cloud Chamber of commerce is backing him- An organization, in front of which, a small country like the Windy country can only cower in fear.

Then the old man continued,

“I am sorry for disturbing the auction. Liza, you can continue with the auction.”

His tone returned to normal and nodded towards Liza Dohm and walked away.

With that said, Liza Dohm immediately walked onto the stage bowed towards the old man, and bid him goodbye.

Then she returned to her ‘professional’ character and spoke,

“Esteemed guest from the Gold Room No. 3, has made a bid of 11,000 gold coins. Is there anyone willing to increase the bid?”

Seeing, no one bid. Liza Dohm started the countdown.

“11,000 gold coins for the first time.”

“11,000 gold coins for the second time.”

“11,000 gold coins...”

As Liza Dohm was about to finish her last call, a voice echoed in the auction hall.

“12,000 gold coins.”
