Chapter 321 - The Veiled Woman's Premonition
The woman in the veil looked at room no. 7 and felt a premonition in her heart. "Why do I feel that this mission will not be successful?" she murmured in her heart, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion. She was with five Imperial Saint Kings, all of whom were elites in the clan. She also possessed the power of an Imperial Saint Lord, so she was confident in her safety.
Her clan didn't have a good connection to the Alexander Clan because the latter was very elusive and didn't care about other clans. Everyone knew that the Alexander Clan was arrogant and didn't regard even the most famous clan, the Royal Clan, as significant.
The Immortal Plane had many strong Clans like her Fritz Family and the Alexander Clan. There were also some ancient clans who hid in their own domains and hadn't shown up for many eons. Even though she was from the Fritz Family, which was said to be on par with the Alexander Clan, her father, the Supreme Elder, warned her not to be arrogant in the Alexander Clan because he knew the true terror of this clan.
He said that what they showed was only the tip of the iceberg, and no one knew how long the Alexander Clan had been living in the Immortal Plane. She knew that the person in room no. 7 held a high position in the clan, but she was confident in her skills and intelligence. She was well-known in the clan for her terrifying ideas and had already formed a plan in her mind.
...
Dave easily won the corpse as no one bid again, and they didn't have the guts to challenge him as everyone could see how rich he was. The corpse was a valuable item that could create a commotion if others learned about it, but they were more focused on the last item.
Dave paid 6 billion spirit stones without caring about it. He was a real tycoon, and such money couldn't make him feel any pain. As long as he traveled and extorted again, he could make even more money.
The corpse was sent to their room. Jiang Chen looked at the corpse with curiosity, while Roco's legs turned into jelly due to fear. The energy it released was strong, but Dave easily dispelled it. No one could see what they were doing in the room, so Dave summoned Xegron.
Swissh! Xegron emerged from his shadow, and Jiang Chen and Roco were stunned. Roco realized that it was the energy that had locked him up when he offended Dave, and he was terrified and sweating heavily. He didn't know that he escaped the fate of being a cannon fodder due to Dave's interference.
"Master," Xegron greeted Dave, and Dave said, "Take this corpse and let Grace absorb the death energy. When she's finished, you can devour the body."
Xegron's face was calm, but he was delighted in his heart. "As you command," he said and took the corpse, both of them disappearing in the room. Grace heard Dave's command and was happy because refining the energy would allow her to make a quantitative leap in her powers. The snake was also excited because she could benefit from it.
If Dave wanted, he could make the corpse into a puppet, but he didn't fear True Saints, and no one could threaten him in this plane. Jiang Chen and Roco felt that their worldview changed when they saw the respectful look the strong man had given Dave earlier.
...
"Dear guests, I present you our 4th item," Rain announced, clapping her hands as a pink pill appeared in front of everyone. The energy of the pill permeated the whole stage, and everyone could feel their cultivation shackles loosening.
"What? Is that the Breakthrough Pill?"
"Yeah? I heard that only the Ancient Alchemy Clan can concoct that pill."
"I didn't expect that the Alexander Clan would sell such a valuable pill."
Many who were stuck in their realms were excited, and their eyes were filled with greed as they looked at the pill. Dave, however, looked at it with disdain as it was useless to him. He decided to be generous and give others a chance to get it.
Rain smiled and said, "Since you know this pill, I will not explain anymore. The starting price is 500 million spirit stones."
She waved her hand, and the bidding began.
"600,000 spirit stones."
"This old man is stuck at the Imperial Saint Lord level, so please give me face," an old man from a well-known clan bid.
"Tsk, our Terra Clan doesn't care. We bid 700,000 spirit stones."
The Terra Clan sneered at the old man, and the pill was seen as miraculous.
"Tsk, what a poor clan. Our Rengin Clan bids 1 billion spirit stones."
Everyone was full of excitement, and the pill could help them break through. Although it was useless for Imperial Saint Emperors and above, it was still a valuable asset that allowed one to make a breakthrough easily without damaging their foundation.
"2 billion spirit stones," Reynold, who had been quiet earlier, bid. He had contacted his elders and asked for more money, and they happily sent it when they learned about the pill.
Some stopped bidding, afraid to offend Reynold. The woman in room no. 2 didn't care about the pill, as her clan had connections with the Ancient Alchemy Clan, so she was not as excited as others. She could obtain that pill as long as she asked her father for a favor.
Reynold looked at room no. 7 and was pleased to see that the person wasn't bidding anymore. He felt that the person didn't have any money left after his lavish spending earlier. He sneered, feeling that he had finally regained his face.
The others also looked at room no. 7 and felt disappointed to see that the person wasn't interested in the pill. Others had the same thought as Reynold, and they sighed in relief as their competition had now reduced.
"Hey, the person in room no. 7? Aren't you arrogant a while ago? Why don't you bid anymore? Don't you have any money?"
Suddenly, the person in room no. 4 opened their curtain, and everyone saw a handsome man wearing the insignia of the Alexander Clan. He was 5'9 feet tall and skinny, emitting the power of an Imperial Saint Lord. Everyone recognized him.
"What? I didn't expect that Lord Erwin is here."
"Yeah? Is he the disciple of the elder in the clan, and he reached Imperial Saint Lord at only 500 years old?"
No one expected him to be there, and he even dared to tease the person in room no. 7.
Jiang Chen heard the man and was angry, wanting to retort, but Dave waved his hand, signaling him to stop.
Dave flicked his fingers, and the screen in their room was also removed. Now Dave's face could be seen by others, and Grace and the others were visible as well.
"So handsome," Rain murmured, not expecting the person inside the room no. 7 to be this handsome and young. Others were also astonished and realized his identity.
"What? Is he the son of the Holy Son?"
"Yeah, I heard that he now holds the title of being the most handsome man in the clan."
"I hate him; my girlfriend left me because of him."
The crowd became noisy due to Dave showing their faces. Erwin was stunned when he learned that the person was the son of the holy son, but since he was the disciple of the elder, he didn't fear his identity.
The woman in the veil looked at Dave with interest and didn't expect him to be so handsome. Her legs were shaking, and she licked her lips before commanding her people, "Let's change the plan. Just capture him and don't hurt even a bit of his skin."
