Chapter 370: The Transaction Was Completed, and the Information Was Sold
Vincent turned to look at the old Dark Elf in the secret room with a face full of surprise. He had long guessed that there must be someone hiding behind the mirror. That individual had been secretly guiding the auctioneer.
This showed that the auctioneer was not someone who could make decisions!
However, what Vincent did not expect was that the old Dark Elf actually recognized him. He believed that he did not reveal any flaws, so how did the other party recognize him?
The auctioneer who was pressured by Vincent earlier immediately stood up and walked to the old Dark Elf’s side. He bowed and said, “Boss, I’m sorry! I didn’t think that he would discover your existence!”
Myron sat on the sofa and shook his head gently. He replied, “No worries! The information that Mr. Vincent brought today is not something that you can handle. Moreover, I’m willing to make Mr. Vincent a friend. What’s the harm in meeting him?”
The auctioneer nodded and replied, “Yes! Then I’ll leave first!”
After receiving Myron’s acquiescence, the auctioneer walked out of the room and closed the door gently behind him.
Vincent was still dressed in a black robe. He looked at Myron warily.
Myron was dressed luxuriously. His hair was white but his waist was very straight. The first impression that Vincent had of him was that he was mysterious and dangerous. Furthermore, despite being ruled by City Lord Andre and the High Priest of Devil Flame City, the fact that he was able to keep Hell’s Rose running was enough to prove that his strength and background were very terrifying.
“I thought that the boss of Hell’s Rose is not willing to meet anyone! Why is your excellency willing to meet me today? You even called me by my name!” said Vincent.
Vincent could not help but look at Myron vigilantly.
Myron smiled. He raised his right hand and showed it to Vincent. He was wearing a ring on each finger. The rings looked the same, however, they were of different colors.
Myron smiled as he introduced the rings to Vincent, “This is the highest level of special equipment that I have on me. With these rings, I can see the history behind any item, and I can see through all disguises. I can even see the flaws in everyone’s body. For example, the black robe you’re wearing right now can’t prevent me from seeing your appearance clearly! This is the most magical thing I have!”
Vincent could not help but be surprised when he heard that. He asked in surprise, “You can see my true appearance?”
Myron nodded and said, “The last time you came to participate in the auction, I had already started to secretly pay attention to you! Plus, there has recently been a commotion in Devil Flame City. How could I not know of the rising Mr. Vincent?”
Vincent took off the black robe on his body and sighed with a smile, “I see!”
He originally thought that Myron see could through all of his disguises. He would then find out that he was actually not a Dark Elf. However, it seemed that Myron’s ability was very ordinary. He could only see through his black robe; he could not see the effects of his Transformation Skill.
It seemed that the ability that the ring could bestow on the chakra was far lower than the level of Vincent’s Transformation Skill!
Monica, who was beside him, also imitated Vincent and took off the black hat on her head. She let out a long breath and looked at the surrounding rooms with a curious expression. This secret room was extremely luxurious compared to the study outside. All the furniture and furnishings in the room were shining brightly because they were carved from all kinds of gemstones.
As expected of the real boss of Hell’s Rose. This was in line with the wealth that everyone envied.
However, Vincent did not care about Monica at that moment because he wanted to know the reason why Myron took the initiative to meet him.
Vincent looked at Myron and asked in a deep voice, “From what you said earlier, it seems like you took the initiative to show yourself. May I ask what is your purpose?”
Myron smiled slightly and said, “I heard about the Mother Nest Insect Egg that Mr. Vincent had mentioned just now. I know that the ancient Zerg Race was destroyed at the hands of several powerful races. I wonder if Mr. Vincent knows about the history of those races? If you know, as long as you’re willing to sell me the information, I’ll get someone to comply with your conditions! We will pass on the relevant information to David. As for what will happen to him, Hell’s Rose will deal with it. It definitely won’t affect you!”
Vincent nodded and said, “This proposal is reasonable, and I do know a little bit of the information that you want!”
When Myron took the initiative to mention the ancient Zerg Race, Vincent could vaguely guess Myron’s purpose. Compared to the Zerg Race, the more attractive part of this offer was obviously the secret information related to the Immortal Race.
If Myron could find the world or relics left behind by the Immortal Race, the benefits that he could obtain would be incomparably huge. It would be far better than a Mother Nest Insect Egg!
Vincent had a lot of information about the Immortals, but he could not tell Myron everything. He would only use some of the most insignificant information to lure Myron into helping him to do what he wanted to do.
Myron could not help but be very excited when he saw Vincent admitting that he had information about the other powerful races. He quickly said, “Then please tell me what you know first. After that, I will send someone to contact David!”
Vincent smiled and shook his head, saying, “Impossible. You must cooperate with me to sell the information to David first. Only then can I tell you more important information. Otherwise, everything is out of the question!”
Myron fell silent. He looked at Vincent with a somewhat angry look. He said with a slightly threatening tone, “In the eyes of everyone in Devil Flame City, your excellency is seriously injured. Aren’t you afraid that I will spread the news that you are not injured at all? I can make you and this lady disappear completely!”
Vincent also revealed a fierce expression. He sneered and said, “If you want to fight to the death, go ahead! I may not be able to escape from your hands, but I can definitely destroy the entire Hell’s Rose. If you don’t believe me, you can try!”
Myron looked at Vincent’s determined gaze and his tone instantly became much gentler. He replied, “No matter how valiant you are, you have to think clearly. You are His Highness Dave’s confidant, and Catherine is my subordinate. Aren’t you afraid that I will make things difficult for Catherine?”
After seeing Myron using Catherine as a threat, Monica finally revealed a worried expression. She turned her head to look at Vincent, but she did not speak. This was because she knew that if she asked Vincent to take care of Catherine’s safety, they would lose the upper hand. Vincent would also be restricted by Myron in the following negotiations.
Therefore, Catherine’s safety depended on whether Vincent could continue to maintain a tough attitude. As long as he could withstand Myron’s pressure, Myron would definitely not do anything to Catherine if he had something to ask of her.
However, Myron had already noticed Monica’s expression. He believed that he had found Vincent’s weak spot. No matter how strong and fearless a warrior was, he still had to consider the interests and losses of his master!
However, at that moment, Vincent answered even more decisively, “If you want to harm Catherine, then get ready to get the hell out of Devil Flame City! The City Lord and the High Priest have not done anything to Hell’s Rose. Other than weighing the pros and cons, they do not care about the value of Hell’s Rose at all. They do not care if Hell’s Rose is around because its existence does not mean much to them. However, if you want to have a complete fallout with His Highness, then we do not mind taking over Hell’s Rose. We have enough means to take Hell’s Rose away from you anyway!”
When Vincent said the last sentence, he secretly used the power of the Art’s of Heaven Will. He caused the surrounding rock layers to shake violently. As they were on the ninth floor, the tremor intensified!
After seeing Vincent’s actions, the killing intent in Myron’s eyes could not help but grow even stronger. This was because Vincent was not only threatening him, but he was also threatening the entire Hell’s Rose!
However, after making a decision, Myron had no choice but to let go of the killing intent in his heart. He turned to Vincent and said, “Alright! Based on your request, I will first get someone to pass the information to David for you. After that, you will report the information about the powerful ancient races to me!”
Vincent nodded. He walked to the sofa at the side and sat down. He took out a pen and paper from his storage ring, scribbled a few lines on it, and placed the paper in front of Myron.
“These are the materials that the ancient Zerg possessed, as well as the special attributes and specific uses of each material. You only need to sell this list to David for 10 times the price, and I will tell you what you want to know!” said Vincent.
After reading the contents of the list, Myron could not help but say, “It seems that the base price that I set back then was too low! Just the special properties of these materials alone were worth a price that was a hundred times higher than the base price back then. I wonder how young elder David will react when such a list falls into his hands?”
Vincent said with an indifferent expression, “This is not something that you should worry about. Please do what you need to do as soon as possible!”
Myron closed his eyes gently. At the same time, the ring on his middle finger suddenly emitted a ray of light. Suddenly, the door outside was pushed open, and the auctioneer who had left earlier walked back in again.
The auctioneer stood in front of the door of the secret room and asked respectfully, “Boss, are you looking for me?”
Myron raised his hand and waved it gently. The list in his hand directly floated in front of the auctioneer. The auctioneer hurriedly stretched out both his hands to catch the list in front of him.
“Sell this information to young elder David. Remember to ask him for ten times the reward!” said Myron in a commanding tone,
The auctioneer did not hesitate or tried to be difficult. He only nodded and said, “Yes, I will go now!”
After saying that, the auctioneer turned around and walked out of the room.
Myron waved his hand and the entrance to the secret room instantly closed. It completely separated itself from the auctioneer’s study room. However, everything in the study was clearly displayed through the mirror on the wall. Vincent and Monica could see the study clearly.
Vincent and Monica had a sudden look of realization on their faces. It turned out to be a one-way mirror. They could not look into the secret room from the study. However, they could see everything that was happening in the study clearly from the secret room.
Not long after, the door opened again. The auctioneer led the expectant and excited David in.
“Young elder David, you are really lucky today! Just as we spread the news of your purchase request, we received a secret letter from another major city. Apparently, someone had recently purchased a notebook that recorded the history of ancient times. It just so happened to mention the name and purpose of the auction item. However, that ancient book is very old. The information we know is not comprehensive. You must be mentally prepared!”
David nodded without any hesitation and said with a smile, “As long as I can figure out what’s inside that giant rock, it’s fine!”
The auctioneer nodded and smiled unkindly. He said, “I also want to remind young elder David that after we received this information, we realized that the price of the auction item was far lower than the real value of the item, so we decided to increase the price of the information by 10 times. If you can afford this price, our transaction will continue. If you are unwilling to accept it, we would rather not sell these secrets!”
When David heard this, he could not help but frown. His previous bid was already very expensive, and he had already spent a lot of money in the auction house. If he were to agree to the price proposed, he would probably lose everything. This made David feel deeply conflicted in his heart.
He did not dare to go home because the money that he spent buying treasures at the auction house was all borrowed from his father. His father would not have pursued the money if he obtained the Elf King’s remains. He may even praise his methods.
However, not only did David not get the Elf King’s remains, but he had also spent 80 million crystal coins to show off to Dave. If his father knew about this, he would definitely skin him alive. Therefore, David had no choice but to stay outside. Moreover, he wanted to actively dig out the secrets of the two items that he had gotten. If he could prove that his 80 million crystal coins had not been spent in vain, perhaps his father would forgive him.
However, the use of the Seven Stars Flying Thunder Sword was obvious. There was no room for him to increase its value. The only thing that could help him tide over the crisis was the giant white rock.
As long as there was a way to prove the value of the rock so that his spending was worth it, then David would be satisfied!
After struggling for a long time in his heart, David took out 10 bags from his storage ring and piled them on the floor of the study. He said, “The previous price I offered was 10 million. I’m willing to pay 10 times that amount which is a total of 100 million crystal coins. Please give me the information!”
“Okay, this is the information that you want!”
After the auctioneer counted the crystal coins on the floor, he took out the list written by Vincent and handed it over to David with a smile.
David took the list and looked at it carefully. Then, a happy smile appeared on his face.
The auctioneer saw this and could not help but exhort, “Young elder David, the so-called rock that you bought is actually an egg left behind by the ancient Zerg Race. The ancient Zerg Race is full of treasures, but this information is not complete. Please use it carefully!”
David did not bother listening to his reminder. He casually waved his hand and said, “You don’t need to worry about that. With this list, I can be considered to have made a great contribution. I want to go back and tell father immediately!”
Before he finished speaking, David stood up and ran outside. It seemed that he could not wait to take this list to claim credit for himself.
What was the point of missing the Elf King’s remains? Everyone knew that the Elf King’s remains were bought by Dave but it was still stolen by someone else in the end!
However, David had a similarly valuable treasure in his hands. Plus, he had not been targeted by anyone. This was enough to prove that he was more outstanding than Dave!
After watching David leave the study, the auctioneer turned to bow respectfully to the mirror. He then silently left the room.
Vincent, who was in the secret room, had personally witnessed everything that had just happened. He nodded in satisfaction. He then said to Myron, “Well done. Now it’s my turn to fulfill my promise to you! Can you tell me exactly what kind of information that you want to know?”
Myron thought for a moment and said, “I want to know the name of the strongest race that annihilated the ancient Zerg Race. Do they still have an inheritance? And if we want to find the civilization that they left behind, which direction should we head to?”
Vincent smiled because he had already prepared the answer in his heart. He pretended to think and said, “If I remember correctly, that race should be called the Immortal Race! However, the Immortal Race had completely disappeared. As for the civilization that they left behind, I don’t know about that. But according to the records, somewhere in the Black Hole world, there must be information about the Immortals!”
Myron asked excitedly, “Oh, where is it?”
Vincent smiled and replied, “A place called the capital of Ultimate Evil. It is said that there is information about all the races of the Black Hole there. The information that you want must be there!”
Myron could not help but mutter softly, “Unfortunately, other than the patrol team outside the Black Hole, the other Dark Elves are not allowed to leave the Dark Elves world on their own. I can’t find information about the Immortals from the outside world for the time being!”
Vincent, who was at the side, said, “Regardless of whether you can leave or not, you have obtained the name of the powerful race. You have avoided many potential detours in the Black Hole world. You just have to look for opportunities to gather information. I believe that for a merchant like you who sells information, these difficulties can be easily resolved. Perhaps when you want to go to the Black Hole world through the Black Hole, I can provide you with some help and support, but the prerequisite is that you have to pay a corresponding reward!”
Myron immediately nodded and said, “Deal! If there really is such a day, I will definitely come to you for help. And as a sign of sincerity to cooperate, I will not reveal anything unusual about you and His Highness to anyone!”
“That’s for the best!” said Vincent casually.
He then got up and pulled Monica out of the secret room.
