“The final item of today’s premium auction is…. ‘Fragment of the God Stone’.”

The beautiful auctioneer didn’t waste time bringing out the auction’s final item.

‘What?’

‘The fragment of the God stone?’

Except for Mr. White, everyone was pleasantly surprised with the final item and became excited.

As the powerhouses of Phire City, everyone knew about the existence of the God stones and how valuable they were.

So, everyone was eager to bid and called their friends and family to gather the funds.

It was inevitable there would be a crazy bidding war for the Fragment of the God stone, and no one wanted to miss the item because of their lack of funds.

‘Damn it…now I don’t have enough coins for the last time.’

Unlike others, Mr.White knew the auction items beforehand, and he was very much interested in the three items.

To his bad luck, someone stole his money just a day before the auction, and because of that, he eliminated the ‘Radiant armour’ and decided to buy ‘Thundersoul cage’ and the ‘Fragment of the God stone’.

What’s more, he even sold his favourite enslaved beast ‘Moonlight Unicorn’ to raise his funds.

He barely had the money for the two items even after seeing the Moonlight Unicorn and its egg.

However, because of Leo, he wasted another five million Hero coins. So, Mr. White was not in a good mood.

‘Unlike these b*stards, I can’t ask others for money because it will ruin my perfect image of the richest business.’-.

Mr.White was thinking of ways to secure the ‘Fragment of the God stone’ at any cost.

‘Another fragment of the God stone?’

Leo kept the special gift box away as he looked at the ‘Fragment of the God stone’ in the beautiful auctioneer’s hands.

‘When did the fragments of the God stone become so easy to find?’

It was the fourth God stone’s fragment that Leo had seen in the last two days, making him confused.

‘From the looks of it, I don’t think I can get my hands on it.’

Soon, he checked the faces of other participants who looked determined to get the ‘Fragment of the God stone’ at any cost.

‘Also, that old man looks even more determined and anxious.’

Leo looked at Mr.White, and he could tell that he was not only determined, but he was also a little bit anxious.

‘Is he really the leader of the ‘Black suits’?’

In the next second, Leo looked at the beast storage device in his hands and silently thought about the true identity of Mr. White.

Currently, the enslaved moonlight unicorn was inside the beast storage device.

When he connected the dots regarding the existence of the ‘Black suits’, a rank 9 enslaved mutated beast and a supreme hero, he felt Mr. White was more likely to be the leader of the ‘Black suits’.

‘If he was really the branch leader of the ‘Black suits’, why is he lacking funds to buy it? Unless he was trying to pocket the items for himself.’

‘Wait a second…is it him who was behind the Mountain fiend king.’

Leo was intelligent; however, he was not a god.

So, besides guessing about the things, Leo could not confirm it until he found solid evidence.

“There is no starting price for the ‘Fragment of the God stone’ because it is a priceless item. So, you can start the bidding.”

The auctioneer didn’t state the initial price and left it to the participants to decide its worth.

“Ten million Hero coins.”

Linus made the first bid with ten million Hero coins.

“12 million Hero coins.”

Bradley, the ‘Boundless Fangs’ mercenary squad leader, made the second bid.

“15 million.”

Valerie, the ‘Graceful swans’ mercenary squad leader, followed before the auctioneer could say anything.

“20 million”

“21 million”

.

.

.

“30 million Hero coins.”

Before Leo could even think about bidding, the ‘Fragment of God stone’ price reached a whopping 30 million Hero coins.

“The city leader’s bidding price is 30 million Hero coins. Is there anyone willing to bid higher than that?”

The beautiful auctioneer looked at the other participants and asked with a bright smile.

The ‘Fragment of the God stone’ target was 20 million Hero coins; however, it reached 10 million hero coins, higher than their assumption.

So, she didn’t care much as she only asked it casually.

‘Damn it…I am short of just one million Hero coins. If only that b*stard didn’t bid against me earlier, I would have easily won this item.’

Mr. White cursed Leo as he looked at the ‘Fragment of the God stone’ with a bitter look.

‘Looks like I need to speed up the plan if I want to get this ‘Fragment of the God stone’.’

Mr. White thought about the other way to get the ‘Fragment of the God stone’.

‘I hope Theodore will not use it before that.’

Without money, Mr. White could only watch City leader Theodore take the ‘Fragment of the God stone’ in front of his eyes.

“Everyone, thank you for visiting the premium auction conducted by my Icefeather family.”

Once the items and their payments were settled, Oliver walked to the stage and thanked everyone.

“We need to thank family head Oliver for gathering such valuable items.”

“Yes. I hope family head Oliver continues to host such premium auctions more and more in the future.”

“Yes. Even if we didn’t get good items in one auction, we might get them in another auction.”

All the participants, including the city leader and Mr.White, thanked family head Oliver.

“Of course.”

Oliver nodded his head as he promised, “As soon as I collect enough valuable and rare items, I will host a premium auction just like today.”

“We will take our leave now.”

The City leader and others started leaving the spacious auction hall, nodding their heads.

“City leader, wait a second.”

Just as Theodore was about to leave the hall, Leo respectfully called Theodore.

“Huh? What is it?”

Today, Theodore was in a good mood after getting the ‘Fragment of the God stone’.

So, he replied to Leo with a slight smile.

“Before today, I had never seen a ‘Fragment of the God stone’ in my life. So, I want to touch it once and brag to my friends about it.”

In Theodore’s eyes, Leo seemed like a young man curious about the ‘Fragment of the God stone’.

“And why do you think I will give it to you just like that?”

Theodore revealed a slight smile as he asked Leo.

“I heard the city leader is magnanimous and always helps the young heroes broaden their horizons…..”

Leo made up a bullsh*t as he praised the city leader.

“Also, if the city leader allows me to touch it, I will pay one million hero coins.”

At the end of his words, he even said that he would pay one million hero coins, surprising everyone.

“Do you think I am lacking money?”

If it was anyone else, they could have instantly agreed after hearing Leo’s praises and one million coins; however, Theodore was not an easy target as he directly rejected Leo’s offer.

“What about now?”

Leo was not surprised by Theodore’s reply; instead, he took out a fruit from his storage ring and asked whether he could touch the ‘Fragment of the God stone’.
