"Fine," Hye didn't know what was going on. But as this lady said her words, she resented another payment request that also declined instantly.
"I know you and my world have many different views, but to renege on a trade deal… This is a big stain to your reputation, Hescos!" the lady spoke in a low and yet quite terrifying tone, gritting on her teeth while saying every single word.
Hye's eyes went wide when he guessed what happened, ending up entering into a chorus of laughter for a few minutes. He imagined that Hescos race member, sitting in his fancy mansion, sweating profusely as he'd get screwed later on by everyone.
Neither his race nor outsiders would show him any mercy. "This is what you get for trying to scam me, hahahaha!" Hye said amidst his laughs, only regretting not having a direct feed for Hescos' face right now.
"As that chicken acted this dirty, the item is reopened for auction again," the lady waved her hair, before adding in the old calm and seductive tone, "now, who is going to buy this chario… Oh, our esteemed human race customer just bidded with three hundred million of his bones… Who wants to raise the bid? Anyone?"
This time, no one dared to enter with Hye into a battle to raise the price. The blood of that Hescos was still fresh on Hye's hands, and everyone feared to suffer from the same fate again.
The auction ended by him winning it by the initial price he bidded with. In his eyes, this was a reasonable price to get such a baby. He looked at it inside his inventory, while evilly laughing.
"I was about to get it for around seven times this price, but you acted quite impatient and arrogant," Hye laughed again, while imagining what the lady nymph would say if she was here.
Since he gained access to the auction, she was led away by Uncle Lam. only Hye was allowed to witness and take part in the auction and taking her away was just a normal procedure that Hye didn't think much about.
Yet what he didn't know was that she was taken away, towards a nearby military base on another level. She was asked tons of questions about what she was doing here with the human, with Hye.
The lady nymph never imagined that she'd be led to such a fierce interrogation place, facing a dozen fierce looking army generals. They looked a bit impatient and nervous, as if something big was brimming in the shadows, heading towards them.
The lady nymph didn't need to lie, she said how they arrived here. She didn't even hide the fact that one of her impact's bases got ambushed and destroyed. After all, the owners of this world could easily acquire such intel without the need to pay for any price.
News about such tragedies were destined to be widely spread all over the universe. People of the universe loved to speak about rumours, listening to tragic stories, and even showed much interest in learning more about what others lost and how they suffered.
This might be called sick, but this was how the universe was. So she didn't hide anything, telling the truth was her only way out from this predicament.
As for how Hye would react, she couldn't tell. She already guessed his true intentions of dragging the owners of this world into a brutal and bloody war against the Hescos. And she knew if Hye got the chance, he'd pour more fuel over the blazing fire.
The interrogation went on for long hours, with different generals paying her a visit, harshly speaking with her. The more they acted like this, the more she knew things were going down on a rollercoaster.
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm She imagined how Hye would react when he'd hear the news. He'd not care about the miserable moments she lived through and would even laugh on how things ended up between the two mighty forces.
As she was getting squeezed for intel, and others went to verify what she said, Hye was leisurely watching the ongoing auction without taking part again.
He saw deadly weapons, swords, knives, but no glaive. When he opened the list again after another day, he found out there wasn't a single glaive entirely there. But there was something that he liked, a magic staff.
It was a staff made out of pure metal, pale gold in colour, with semi-circular red and black lines spreading all over it. The staff ended up with a gem like crystal, something that looked crystal clear in the picture.
Just from its look, Hye could tell how special this staff was. And it looked great. But what really picked his interest was its effects, skills attached to it, and the boost his stats would gain.
"Ten folds the stats as long as the holder is at stage five or below? I bet everyone will fight for this baby…" Hye read the description of this item quite thoroughly and with much interest and focus. Unlike other items, this came with a long and well explained list of skills.
The staff generally boosted the holder's stat, focused not on healing like he imagined, but on forming pure offensive attacks that would endanger anyone below stage 3 if it was used by him.
And that was mainly because he was still very weak to begin with. This was one of the rarest items he saw in the auction that could make a real difference in any battle, cross any gap in power between one and his enemies.
"I'll buy it!" he decided, without even caring about anything else. Even if there were few who wanted to make him pay a little more than what he did before, he wouldn't mind that.
This piece of weapon was equivalent to lots of U stat crystals, and he'd get to carry it, lend it to others if he needed to.
Yet he had to wait for almost half a day, watching useless and weird items getting sold.
