Chapter 238 Underground Auction House
Davis smirked as he saw the other party not denying his claims.
"Alright..." Davis uttered and took the VIP card that was placed on the table. Solarin smirked and extended his hand towards Davis.
Davis passed the spatial ring to him and Solarin left through the door behind him without saying a word.
Davis waited silently and after a while, Solarin came back with a smile on his face.
"There were so many items to grade that it took me a long time pin a price point..." His face suddenly turned serious, "All of them are Sky Grade Armaments, did you rob a Warlord's tomb or something?"
But almost instantly, his face turned back into that laid back smile, "Just kidding, all we want is to sell these armaments to make a profit. We don't care about where you obtained these items as long as you are alive..."
'As long as I'm alive, huh?' Davis's eyes twitched.
"Then?" Davis questioned.
Solarin's expression turned solemn, "73 Low-Level Sky Grade Armaments, 37 Mid-Level Sky Grade Armaments, and 18 High-Level Sky Grade Armaments..."
"All these amounts to a total of 1,64,400 Low-Level Spirit Stones when calculating their grade and uniqueness, including their uses."
Davis's soul shook at the amount! He secretly took a deep breath, calming himself down.
Low-Level Sky Grade Items sold for around 100 to 1,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones. Mid-Level Sky Grade Items sold for around 1,000 to 10,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones. High-Level Sky Grade Items sold for around 10,000 to 100,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones.
Although these were the general prices, the price might vary according to the rarity and uniqueness sometimes.
"We'll accept it at the market price and round it to about 1,65,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones, deal?"
"Deal!" Davis accepted without delay.
"Good!" Solarin clenched his fists and snapped his fingers.
In underground auctions, Davis was well aware that only prestigious patrons would have the choice to auction and gain wealth while losing commission to the auction house.
In his case, where he was just a new patron, he could only accept the deal. If not, he would just have to leave this place.
A man came over from the inside and handed over a spatial ring to Davis. He quickly formed a connection to it and checked its contents.
When he did, he secretly drew a cold breath. His mind was totally boggled and temporarily stopped by seeing the amount of wealth that was in his possession right now.
"That's right, I assume you will attend the underground auction? Then, you should have this list which contains information about the items which are going to be sold!" Solarin gave him a jade slip.
Davis accepted it and kept it inside his spatial ring.
After a few parting words, Davis left the place.
For safety purposes, he decided to not stay in that Inn any longer. He searched for an even more luxurious and safe place to stay.
In the central part of the capital, he stumbled upon [Arashi's Luxurious Inn] and entered it.
From the pretty receptionist, he learned that this place belonged to the Arashi Family. A family which was no less powerful than the Roxley Family.
'Another Low-Level King Grade Power...' Davis smiled as he entered the room. He was sure that over 90% of the capital's population won't dare to cause trouble here even if they have a terrible temper.
The room itself was grand and spacious, while the furniture and design were of extraordinary quality.
It cost him about 100 Low-Level Spirit Stones to stay here for a day but he wasn't bothered by it anymore because he was filthy rich right now!
Jumping on the bed while lying behind his back, he looked at the ceiling and laughed foolishly.
Laughing his heart off, he muttered, "I have to thank Old Man Garvin for this..."
...
Time passed normally while Davis witnessed the opening of the underground auction in an inconspicuous location in the capital.
Today, he didn't wear his alchemist robe but wore a pitch-black robe and a different mask that he bought from one of the shops in the plaza. It was a raven-shaped mask.
Davis looked around him and witnessed people talking in hushed voices.
Every one of them wore different types of masks and to his surprise, he found some of the masks familiar, and there was even a mask that resembled an Arrancar's from Bleach.
Although it was such a coincidence, he didn't let him bother about it too much as masks were ultimately masks, something that was used to hide facial features.
As masquerades kept appearing one by one, the door to the auction hall opened. Everyone started to move towards the hall while Davis also did the same.
He showed his VIP card to a masked attendant and it certainly proved beneficial. He was led into a VIP room, numbered 17.
The room was not one bit lower in quality when compared to the rooms in Arashi's Luxurious Inn, except other than it being smaller.
There were some chairs and tables, a queen-sized bed near the corner, and all the other facilities required for one to stay at least a week.
Davis knew that this underground auction will go on for about three days, and in respect to that, it seemed they have prepared some accommodating rooms for the VIP members.
He went and sat on a chair, looking in a certain direction. There were glasses and through it, he could see the brightly lit auction stage.
The whole auction hall could be compared to a medium-sized stadium. At one side were the VIP rooms and on the other end was the auction stage.
On the ground were thousands of seats and adjacent to it were three balconies fitted with hundreds of seats.
He mused that almost five thousand people without a VIP status would be able to attend this underground auction.
After several minutes, Davis heard someone knocking on his door.
He knew that the door can only be opened from the inside once occupied, so he waved his hand with energy causing the door to open.
A young man stood outside as he smiled, bowing slightly, "I deeply apologize for the disturbance, sir. This is one of our services for those who possess VIP status."
He snapped his fingers and women of various physical traits and features entered the room one by one. They wore silky fabric clothes that were half-transparent and revealing underwear, which made them look incredibly desirable.
"You can choose any one of them to accompany you till the auction ends."
