Chapter 173 - Calm before the storm [II]

[The item is called Buso Renkin. Since we're not sure about the power of the Buso Renkin, the bid will start from 10 million.]

"What is a Buso Renkin?"

"I never heard that term before?"

"Indeed, do you think we should bid for it?"

"I think it would be a waste to bid for something like this."

"Yes, and also we don't even have any information on it."

.

With Itsuki's heightened senses, he can hear everyone's whispering words. For some reason, Itsuki was getting tempted to get this thing in his hand. It was as if this hexagonal-shaped object was calling Itsuki.

Seeing how Itsuki was staring that the object named Buso Renkin, Mayumi knew that Itsuki was interested in this object even though she can't understand why.

"Do you want this?" Without thinking much, Itsuki nodded his head while staring at the Buso Renkin.

.

The Buso Renkin is a hand-sized, hexagonal medallion with a hexagon at the center on both sides. On the front, it features the classic alchemical symbol for amalgam, and below it is a roman numeral LXX which is 80. The number seems to represent Buso Renkin's serial number. The deep silver color shine seems to hide some kind of power that was attracting Itsuki like a magnet.

.

For a moment no one placed their bid. The entire place went silent. Time was running out. Just before the last moment, Itsuki placed his bid.

[25 Million]

Everyone turned their heads toward Itsuki's direction after hearing his voice. Some people found Itsuki's voice a little familiar. But others couldn't recognize who this person was. The identity of the VIPs is always hidden. This is one of the rules of the auction house.

.

[25 million once. 25 million twice. Is there anyone willing to place a higher bid? If not, then Congratulations to Mr. on winning the Buso Renkin.]

[Now, we will move on to the next item....]

Meanwhile, Mayumi curiously looked at Isaac and she couldn't help but ask. "Itsuki, you know something about this item named Buso Renkin, don't you?"

Itsuki shook his head. "No, I just felt attracted towards his object."

.

[The next item is one of the most awaited items. This is a Totodile egg. The bid will start from 50 million. Every time the bid must be increased by 10 million.] The egg was blue in color.

Everyone was attracted to seeing a Totodile egg. Totodile is one of the royal Pokemon that is extremely hard to get. When Totodile evolves, its power is confirmed to be in 5th order. As long as Feraligatr is trained properly, it can even reach Peak 5th order. Almost everyone wanted this egg.

[Start]

.

[60]

[100 million]

[110 million]

[150 million]

[190 million]

[200 million]

The number kept skyrocketing without showing any signs of stopping.

.

[250 million give or take]

[260 Million]

When the number reached 250 million many people stopped bidding as they knew buying an egg of royal Pokemon for 250 million is a little over the top. Whoever there were a few individuals who didn't care about money and only wanted to get this egg in their hand.

[300 million]

.

Seeing that no one was bidding after the number reached 300 million, [Congratutions to Mr. Musk for winning the Totodile egg.]

[Now we will be moving to the next and final item. The most anticipated item of this month's auction is the key stone.]

Itsuki no longer dared to laze around. Itsuki wanted this Key Stone no matter what the cost. The keystone was a quick tool for increasing his power, In the next few years, probably the Keystone will become a common thing. But Itsuki wanted to get the Keystone as soon as possible.

.

Looking at the multi-colored stone displayed at the table, Itsuki couldn't control his desire to get hold of his item. Itsuki was willing to go to any length to get this item today.

[The bid will start from 100 million. Every time the Bid must be increased by no less than 25 million. Auction begins.]

[500 Million] One of the businessmen from the Alola region shouted which stopped the majority of the people because the number was too big even for them.

.

However, there were other rich people who were attending this Auction as well.

[I bid 550 Million.]

[600]

[800 Million P$]

[1 billion P$] Hearing the number, most of the rich businessmen showed a hesitant look. Many people looked in Itsuki's direction as if trying to see who this rich tycoon was.

.

[Hmph! Today no matter what happens, this Keystone will belong to me. 1.1 Billion] Everyone turned their heads to look at the old man sitting at the corner. Everyone recognize this old man as he was the third richest man in the Sinnoh region. Many people started backing up as they didn't wish to offend this old man.

But Itsuki wasn't going to do that. Heck, he doesn't even know who this nameless old man is.

[Old man, I don't care who you're but no one can stand in my way today. 1.5 billion.]

.

Many people trembled seeing how this man whose voice sounded so young was throwing billions just for an item. This much money was enough to buy them at least 3 times. This was the first time in recent years, at the bidding number had broken through the 1.5 billion mark. Even the host himself couldn't believe it.

Mayumi, the granddaughter of Drasna also showed a shocked look. Even though she was the granddaughter of one of the elite four of the Kalos region, even she didn't have that much money. Mayumi wasn't expecting Itsuki to go this far. Seeing the look on his face, it was almost as if Itsuki was playing with numbers.

.

The old man who a few seconds ago acted so arrogant and mighty now had a conflicting look. Even if he was the third richest man in the Sinnoh region, even he can't throw around money like this. Moreover, today he came to this Auction only with 2 billion and had already spent a few hundred million before.

[Sigh! Young man, I don't know who you're but I do admire your courage. 1.75 billion.] The old man felt his heart ache when he heard his own words. He would have to spend at least 4 to 8 months to earn back this much money.

.

[1.8 billion.] At this point, no one dared to bid anymore. Even the old man had no choice but to stop himself. To others giving up 1.8 billion for the Keystone wasn't worth it. They felt that Itsuki was just wasting his money.

Whoever to Itsuki, who had earned billions and was still earning by selling his [A1], money was just a number to him. If needed, Itsuki was even willing to bid 10 billion without any hesitation. No matter how much Itsuki spends, he can always earn it back through different means.

.

[Sigh! Young man, do you mind telling us your name?] The old man wanted to calm his heart by knowing the name of the person who outshined him.

After a few seconds of silence, Itsuki smiled and revealed his name.

[The name is Kagami Itsuki.]

Hearing this name, the old man's entire body trembled. Not just the old man everyone in this auction house widened their eyes in shock. It wouldn't be wrong to say that about 60% of the human population knew Itsuki's name.

.

In the business world, Itsuki's name itself was enough to cause storms. Itsuki wasn't even 12 years old, yet he bought a sinking company and managed to bring that sinking company to become one of the top giants in this world. The current evaluation of Itsuki's company was almost 100 billion.

Just hearing Itsuki's name, the thought of teaching a lesson immediately disappeared from the old man's mind. He and his family cannot afford to offend Itsuki.

.

[Congratulations to Kagami Itsuki for winning the Keystone. Ladies and Gentlemen, this concludes this month's auction.] The host then returned with the Keystone in his hand.

"Was it necessary to reveal your name?" Mayumi asked with a helpless smile. Today she saw how big Itsuki's name was. Every influential people who were in today's auction looked shocked after hearing Itsuki's name.

"I just wanted others to know who is the hunter here." By revealing his name, Itsuki was not losing any time. If anyone wants to mess with him, Itsuki was not going to hold back. Especially now that his influence had grown up all over the Kalos region.

.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in"

The door was opened by a beautiful lady. There were two men in a black suits following the lady. The lady had long dark red hair that reached down her waist. Itsuki couldn't see her face as she had covered her face with a veil. But Itsuki could tell that this woman was a great beauty. The woman was wearing a long one-piece cloth that hugged her body, revealing her curves.

.

The first thing the lady did after entering was a bow to Itsuki.

"Please forgive us, Mr. Itsuki. We couldn't recognize you." The auction house wished to maintain a good relationship with Itsuki. In the future, they were even planning on expanding their business by bringing the online auction.

"It's okay." Itsuki wasn't offended or anything. But if he had known that he would be treated respectfully, he would have come here alone.
