At around the time the binding for Diana started, Eros felt something.
He around the place but did not see anyone or anything that was out of place. This was purely just his instinct for danger sounding an alarm in his head.
He had not gotten what he came here for and danger was already around the corner.
It was easy to believe that the security provided by the Viscount could ensure that things were not out of place.
But Eros was not one to allow the decision of his fate to be in another's hands.
However, he could not disturb the people around him.
Firstly, Shade was currently emotionally unstable. Before her was her sister and best friend. She would definitely do whatsoever it took to have her back.
They was also Amanda. As the former queen of the Nagas, she had a duty to her people.
The only emotionally sain people were Dan and Lady frostbite.
However, Eros looked at Lady Frostbite's direction and noticed she had her eyes at a particular figure sitting a few rows away from them.
Eros himself had not taken note of this person on entering the hall, but Lady Frostbite had.
This was Baron Crood. This was supposed to be her father in law. f reewe bnovel
He was not a Baron under the Viscount. But like many here, he had come to curry favours.
Eros could see that her fists were balled on her thighs.
She was obviously holding herself from standing up and going over the baron to give him a good beating.
After all, as far as she was concerned, she had lost her sister because of the shenanigans of the Crood family.
Eros sighed lowly. Apparently, Lady Frostbite was also not emotionally stable at the moment.
Eros took a look at Dan. Even without telling him, he knew his son well enough to know that he could handle things.
The sense that danger was close increased with time.
Eros knew that he had to handle it.
But he did not want to drag attention to himself.
He smiled as a nice thought popped in his head.
It was at this point he gave finally instructions to Dan, handing him a ring filled with gold to get all the Medusas and Nagas.
Afterwards, he excused himself out of the Auction room.
Dan smiled as he was given the authority to engage in willful spending. fr(e)ewebnovel
At heart, just like any young master born in a noble family, Dan was a scorn.
The only difference between him and most was that he had always lacked the financial capability to back his status.
And of course, a little common sense.
However, Dan like any boy his age with excess cash, knew how to gather attention get on the nerves of any body.
This was such an instance.
The price for Diana had been at 500 Silver coins. This was equivalent to 5 gold coins. This amount of money would have taken many barons many months to generate, and some years.
In other words, it was not easy money.
In fact, the old Eros could only dream of such money. Definitely, his grandchildren would have never seen such.
However, such amount of money was currently nothing to Dan.
Dan had known that his grandfather was very rich since the renovations to the Tate Estate had started.
Even the carriage they came in was bathed with gold.
It was so tempting to the eyes that even the Inn keeper at the Inn they had stayed at before could not resist and wanted to steal it.
Because of the series of events so far, Dan had not had the opportunity to explore the vast riches of his grandfather's wealth.
However, just now, Eros had told him words every son had wanted to hear from their father.
This was the permission to be a useless thrift spend.
Surely, Dan did not feel the need to hold back his pent up urges to spend cash.
The best part was that a limit on what he should spend had not been given.
Since another rich idiot wanted to compete with him, he was going to slap him in the face with his coin purse.
Dan had thrown out an incredible number for the Medusa in chains.
Many could not help but peep in his direction.
They all wanted to know who this young Master was.
To their surprise, Dan sat in the company of beautiful women.
Many might not have taken a good notice of him before, but not any more.
Some that had not noticed him come with Eros thought that he might have been the son of a Duke or something.
Dan could hear the murmurs behind him,.and he nodded in acknowledgment.
The attention they gave was filling.
There was suddenly a loud voice that came from the luxury box.
"Dear friend, I am Young master Jan, the son of Earl Jan. I intend to secure this Medusa for myself. If the young friend down BELOW does not mind, I will be taking it for myself."
The crowd was suddenly surprised by this.
It was no wonder this person used the Luxury box.
The noble circle was a large one, but those of importance were not so much.
Even amongst nobles, some were exceptional.
These nobles all knew who Young Master Jan was.
Even those that had wanted to bid for the Medusa held back the moment they heard his identity.
No one wanted to enemies with this Young Master.
Well, all.of them except the Young master that had just been given express permission to spend like a Scorn of the land.
"100 gold coins and 1 bronze!" Young master Jan shouted.
Dan chuckled a bit, he understood the words that Young master Jan had spoken quite well.
After all, the Young master had placed emphasis on the fact that Dan was down below and he was above.
This was an indirect warning for Dan to step back.
Afterwards, he had proceeded to bid an extra bronze coin.
This was an attempt at putting Dan in his place.
However, Young master Jan had just pissed Dan off.
"101 gold coins, 1 silver and 1 bronze coins!"
"HUH!?" Many in the crowd could not hold back their surprise.
This was new gossip for the Noble circle.
There was actually a noble below the rank of Earl that had the guts to challenge a scorn of the land like young masterJan?
This was nearly preposterous.
In fact, even the Master of the auction swallowed hard at this.
He already made up his mind to sell to Young master Jan if he were to increase the price again.
Fortunately, he did.
"101 gold coins, 2 silvers and one Bronze coins!"
However, before the gavel could hit the board, Dan raised the amount one more.
But the amount was by another hundred.
Young master Jan gritted his teeth loudly. He was so tempted to jump out of the luxury box and give Dan a proper deserving beating.
But he still had a dignified image to maintain.
He wanted to increase the amount again,.bout the scholarly figure standing by his side walked forward and whispered into his ear.
Young master Jan gritted his teeth even harder.
He had just been informed that he was permitted to spend that much more.
He was angry but he had to hold it back, and even force a smile.
"This young Master has seen how much you are interested in this creature, and has decided to allow you the privilege of having this one to yourself. Since they are more, I will just get the next one for myself!"
Young master Jan laughed it off. The way he did it was so good that Viscount Peter that had seen the entire encounter could not help but commend his acting skills.
*BAM!*
The gavel hit the board.
"Sold to the young gentleman in front."
The crowd gave a round of applause.
Dan nodded as he waved his hand in thanks to their applause.
The Auction master waved his hand and Diana was taken away.
As she was, Dan could see Shade's eyes following her.
She obviously desired to follow her.
Dan suddenly raised a hand in question to the Auction master.
"Yes please, young master....erm..."
Dan stood up, "Tate! I am Young master Dan Tate."
"Of Course, sir!" The auction master addressed him respectfully.
Money was a strong power, and Dan had just shown that he had much of it.
Dan nodded. It did feel good to be shown respect in public.
"If I might ask, may I have the merchandise now?"
"Of course sir, as soon as you pay, you may have your...."
*Bam!*
Dan flung over a small bag of leaking gold coins unto the stage.
This bag had come from the ring Eros had handed him.
The Auction master and the crowd were left speechless by the shining gold coins.
"The beautiful lady by my side will come secure all my merchandise, " Dan pointed at Shade indicating to her that this was the opportunity for her to go get her sister.
She smiled in thanks to him and left in the direction that the guards pointed.
Dan had spent much money, but his words had been clear to them. It seemed like he was not yet done.
Dan sat back down, and folded his legs.
The next one to be brought out was a Naga. Before the price was even mentioned, Dan opened his mouth wildly.
"200 Hundred gold coins, 2 silvers and two bronze coins!"
