Chapter 73

The bidding went on for another 10 minutes but was eventually won by a person called boar on the second floor for 75 million dollars.

The auction had another intermission for 30 minutes before it carried on as usual. But things were about to escalate real quick real soon.

Ant-man" Now onto our third special item. This one will definitely shock you all as it did us."

The showgirl pulled in a glass display case that was hidden under a black sheet. She slowly pulled the sheet away escalating the audience's anticipation.

When it was fully removed the item was shown to all. It was a Japanese katana with red binding on the handle.

In booth four on the top floor, the lady with the fox mask flinched seeing the katana.

From the shadows behind her, a figure appeared trembling while looking at the sword with longing. If it wasn't for the person next to her she would have tried killing everyone here just to get back what was rightfully hers.

The figure was extremely sexy. She had breasts so well-developed that it seemed as if the ninja uniform couldn't hold it in.

They stretched the clothes as if they would break free at any moment. She also had a slim waist and an outstanding butt, her snow-white thighs were exposed to the air, and her face looked young and beautiful. 

Fox" You need to be more patient hannya. What will be will be? It will come to be in your possession sooner or later."

Hannya" Yes master, disciple understands."

Fox' Sigh, what am I gonna do with this child. Hopefully, the prophecy foretold will come true.'

Ant-man" The third special item for today is the legendary sword of Honjo Masamune. The Honjo Masamune is a sword said to have been created by the swordsmith Gorō Nyūdō Masamune (lived A.D. 1264 to 1343), who is considered by many to be the greatest sword maker in Japanese history. Said to be able to cut down spirits and yokai. It's even said to have the power to sever and control the red string of fate.

The starting price is 350 million with a minimum increase of 1 million. Now then let the auction begin.

On the screen, it showed that the 350 million quickly increased to 400 million in minutes. Someone on the second floor was just about to raise the price by another 5 million but noticed his bid didn't go through.

Boar" Huh, what's going on." He looked up from the tablet and stared shocked at the screen. It wasn't just him but the whole auction hall was silenced.

10 billion

That was the number that appeared on the screen. That was the number that slapped the arrogance of all participants in the hall.

In booth four hanya who saw the price was angry, no she was livid.' I'll kill them. I'll definitely kill the son of a bitch.'

In booth three where Oni was." Did I go overboard with the price? Meh, I like it so I might as well buy it."

In booth 2 the twin tigers said nothing but the sweat running down there arms would indicate their nervousness.

Booth one was load, to say the least. Both guards were laughing at the bidder's stupidity.

In Booth 6 there was dead silence. There was no laughter or snears of ridicule. The occupant couldn't even careless. The only thing she did was continue to drink while the lady next to her sighed in exasperation. The one Drinking wore a mask of a brown bear.

Ant-man was also shocked but quickly pulled himself back." Cough, well the sword of Honjo Masamune has a bid of ten billion going once, going twice...sold to Oni. Congratulations Sir Oni, I hope you're happy with your purchase. You can collect your item now or wait till the auction ends."

Ant-man was ecstatic on the inside as he would be getting a commission of 1 percent of every sale. That's basically an easy 10 million dollars. He couldn't be happier.

After the commotion Oni caused things calmed down. Items were sold like the infamous crown jewels of Ireland. Stolen in 1907 from Dublin Castle, the "crown jewels of Ireland" were "not connected with any coronation ceremony and included no crown. Rather, they comprised a jewelled star of the Order of St. Patrick. The starting big was 50 million and sold for 298 million to Lion on the top floor.

Ant-man" Now ladies and gentlemen we will be nearing the end of this auction. With only one 2 more items up for grabs. The last one is a mystery even to us employes. Only the big boss knows what the final item is.

As for now the second final item of tonight is a replica made by devinchi himself of the São Vicente's ship. 1357, the São Vicente set sail from Lisboa (also called Lisbon) to Avignon, in France, carrying a treasure acquired by Thibaud de Castillon, a recently deceased bishop of Lisboa.

The treasure included gold, silver, rings, tapestries, jewels, fine plates and even portable altars. It's said some of the treasure is inside this very replica ship. But we haven't verified that info."

Oni" Finally, the item mum wants. Does she really only want the ship with possible treasure inside or is it something else."

Ant-man" Bidding will start from 150 million and increase with a minimum of 100 thousand.

Now let the bidding begin."

Onididn'tt want to waste time so he directly increased the bid to 500 million but it further increased to 501 million. He mid 600 million but it increased by a single million again.

Oni" Looks like someone's trying to mess with me. Sigh let's just end this."

Ant-man" The bid is now 601 million how much will-will. Jesus, Oni has directly increased the bid to over 2 billion.' When did we ever invite such a rich person? And why hasn't he appeared before.'

Ant-man" 2 billion going once, going twice..sold yet again to mister Oni. Congratulations on being the second to last bidder in this auction."

Even with the Mc's enthusiasm, the hall was still quiet. All they could think of was.

Who's is this local tyrant. Does money grow on trees where he's from? And how can I get to know you so I can hug your leg made of diamonds?

Ant-man" Now for our final item of the night." A showgirl quickly runs up and passes a sealed envelope." The last and final item for this auction is...huh two tickets to the hollow island opening."

Ant-man' What the hell is Hollow island. Murmurs and whispers descended in the hall. Even with all there fame, money and connections, they had never heard of this hollow island. Was it some type of amusement park.

Tho everyone from the bottom and middle floors were confused. It was a different story at the top.

(In booth one)

Bodyguard" What the hell is Hollow island. Is this really the final mysterious item."

Bodyguard 2" Do they take us as a joke. Boss should we teach these fr"

Elephant mask" Shut up."

Bodyguard" Huh, boss why would.."

Elephant mask" I SAID SHUT UP. UNLESS YOU WANT TO DIE WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING HOW. You two know nothing so keep your mouths shut. If you anger them I won't protect you.

In booth two the twin tigers had already left to collect their items so they didn't see the last item. If they knew they would have stayed even if the world was ending.

In booth 4 Hannya was looking at her master strangely. Her master and her have been and seen a lot together. Have almost died more then she could remember but her master faced it all with a calm face. This was truly the first time she's seen her face this...this happy.

Fox' Soon very soon we will meet again. You won't be able to hide from me then Isaiah." Let's go Hannya. There's no need to stay any longer."

Hannya" Yes master." She says a bit reluctant to leave the sword behind. But in the end, she still follows her master out.' Hollow island, I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before.'
