Chapter 154: Buyer for the stones

"Is that"

Before the lady managed to finish her sentence, I quickly butted in.

"Yes, it's heavenly Naranakai stone. Since I'm not too sure about it's worth in here, I believe that leaving it for you would be a wise choice. Am I wrong?"

Taking over the initiative was the core of doing any business. While she was someone connected to the auction house, I have no idea how high her status is and whether she wouldn't try to use my wares as stepping stone to gain favours with the owner of the house. There is a slight chance that this item isn't worth as much, giving another meaning to her hesitation when I showed it to her. 

"Of course not! But if you want us to auction it, you will need to agree to the terms of cooperation. To make things short and easy, our house takes ten percent of the final price of the product as a handling fee. If you are happy with our standard, you will receive a credited card that you will be able to use to buy other merchandise even before your products will be traded. Let me think a bit"

As she grabbed her chin and took a closer look at the jade, she took a moment before raising her eyes to meet mine.

"Would you mind giving it to me for a moment? I would like to check it a bit more."

Since I'm going to sell it through her anyway and she appears to be serious about doing the business, I hesitantly pass the stone over to her extended hand. While I'm not sure if that's the right choice, this stone doesn't hold any real value for me. There are only two reasons while I'm careful with handling this matter. Firstly, I don't like being swindled and secondly, if I show that I don't really care, they will for sure notice it and give me a smaller profit!

"I see"

After watching it from every possible angle and even infusing her energy into the jade, the female finally passed the stone back to me. Not waiting for even a second, I instantly placed it back to my storage ring. 

"I can offer you seven hundred arena coins for this jade. While it's just a bit lower than the starting price, you can be sure that if no one will try to bid higher, we will get this stone for this price from you. Is that all right?"

To be honest, I can't believe my ears. While I never get to know the real price of this stone back in Sect, I knew that it was worth a lot. With sect's issued gold coins being absolutely worthless in here, I managed to get a glimpse of how much those arena coins were worth. Obviously, they weren't rare, since every challenger received ten of them upon arrival, even a single of them was more than enough to live a week of a lavish life in this city! 

"Yes, I'm okay with the proposed price. Since that's the case, I would like to auction seven of them."

Taking out all the remaining jades from my storage ring, I tossed them to the female with a nonchalant look on my face. Even if they won't be able to auction it for a better price, I still secured almost a five thousand arena coins just like that! With this kind of money, I should be able to get my hands on some ingredients for my crafting!

"What the hell!"

As soon as the jades touched the palm of the female's hands, she couldn't help but shout in surprise. Noticing that she attracted a lot of curious looks from the other people gathered in the garden, she swiftly hid the wares in her own storage ring, before pulling out a strange, golden card and passing it to me. 

"With this card, you can buy merchandise worth up to seven thousand arena coins. While I know it's more than the initial worth of the jades, consider it a favour from me. I will make sure to auction them off properly!

Just by holding this card in my hand, I could feel a tremendous amount of energy contained within. Even if I was unable to pull it out and use it to augment my own cultivation, it proved how precious item it was!

"Ham, you will guide our esteemed guests to the VIP lodge. Make sure to tend to every single request from them!"

With the fatso finally landing on the ground, the female used some kind of ability on him, making all the dirt and sweat disappear from his face and clothes.

"Just in case. If anyone will try to make any troubles for you, tell them that Marion recommended you."

Marion? Lady Marion? The renowned Hooded Rabin's wife? What are the chances that this is a coincidence? How the hell this name originating from Fnglish tale about masked thief found itself in a cultivation world? Does that mean I'm not the first one to be reincarnated here from the earth?

"I will keep that in mind."

With everything said and done, we followed the fatso who has an exalted look on his face to the insides of the building. Entering from the back made us skip the enormous queue that already formed before the main entrance. 

After climbing small stairs that were hidden from the general view by doors cleverly embedded into the wall to make it look like they were just a part of it, we finally reached our designated seats. 

Looking down, there were rows upon rows of seats extending all the way from the stage foothold to the opposite wall of the grand hall. With our lodge located above the entire place and the insides hidden with a special, dimmed glass, we could enjoy the auction while keeping our privacy.

At this moment, the auction was still in its early stages, making the wares on the stage rather common and cheap. If I wanted to find something useful, I would've to wait!

"Refreshments have arrived!"

With Ham standing in the corner of the room in an obedient pose of a gentle servant, he opened the door only to let a few elegant maids in. In just a second, a small table between the seats where I and Eve were sitting got filled with various kinds of snacks and brews, ranging from a tea possessing a rich aroma, through a damn coffee all the way to something that looked like a genuine vodka!

"If you want to place a bid, Sirs just need to inform me."

After the maids left, the fatso closed the door to the lodge behind them and informed us.

I guess it's time to start the first auction in my life!
