Birus Heart Attack

Yasuo kept nodding his head like an innocent, cute kid; he then blinked and pointed at a young man sitting exactly on a VIP lounge next to the four calamity brothers; if not for his location, even Yasuo would have deemed him a passerby," What about him? Is he not afraid of angering them?"

"That..." Richard seemed to go through all the participants before finally saying," I don't know about that." Inwardly however, his heart beat faster. 'I truly hope those four people do not anger him.'

The VIP lounges didn't obstruct the view of those seated in the lower rows; instead, they were enclosed behind glass made of an unknown material reputed to be capable of withstanding attacks from even peak Golden Core cultivators.

Suddenly, a commotion erupted near the door as four individuals walked in. Judging by their demeanor, they seemed to be part of the same group, yet their unfamiliar faces left the crowd guessing about their affiliation.

The leader wore a belt made from python skin on his waist. It had a massive snakehead on it.

The snake still exuded the same ferocious and terrifying presence it had when alive, as though it might spring back to life at any moment. Fear gripped everyone, and they instinctively stepped aside to clear a path.

'No, no, no, all of this for a mere treasure found randomly in the Amazon?' Richard's back was drenched in sweat as he recognized the emblems on the four people's chests.

He acknowledged that the treasure was genuinely astonishing, and even he was tempted to kill off Yasuo and anyone who stood in his way to obtain it. Still, he also knew the identity of these people and couldn't fathom how they would be attracted to it.

Yasuo noticed Richard's ugly expression but decided not to comment,' Inquiring too much is sometimes flawed.' He knew this rule, especially as a current mortal!

As the leader sat down, it caused a small uproar.

Before the auction started, everyone could already detect the smell of war.

They could not help but sigh.

"The rank five martial arts had attracted various people from the surrounding continents, and even hidden organizations operating in the dark decided to join."

"It's been a long time since America has been this lively."

"Yea. It's also rare to see the leaders of these families and organization groups gather in the same place. I guess it's not unexpected. A rank-five martial art is pretty rare. Almost everyone would be interested in it."

"Indeed, rank-five martial arts were not common. Although they might not have been considered rare thousands of years ago, they are a different story now. They could even be seen as highly precious."

There were quite a few evenly matched forces on different continents. Although everyone wanted to become the overlord of Earth, none of them could achieve such goals when the human organization stood tall above everyone else.

When they heard about the rank five martial arts, they all rushed over regardless of whether they could get it or not. Their goal was not to obtain the rank five martial arts but rather to see who would come out of the dark to fight for it.

Indeed!

What these families and organization groups truly wished for was not fun, but for an unknown hidden force to go against the human organization in this auction; their sole goal was to see the chaos unfold since that's the only time when the power structure of the world shifts and wolves get to run rampant.

"I wonder if these people are here to compete for it? They look so formidable that even I could not sense their cultivation levels." An elder of the Donkin family commented on the side, his tone heavy.

However, upon hearing his words, Birus, the head of the Donkin family, clutched his chest as a sharp pain pierced his heart. 'You dare to scrutinize cultivators of foreign forces in this auction? Are you trying to get me killed or what?'

At this moment, he felt that he had aged several years.

"In the span of just four days, two people had already attempted to have him killed—both of them sharing his bloodline and the same interests.

'I wonder if Richard will warn those four mad brothers before anything happens,' Birus mused, stroking his white beard thoughtfully.

Everyone was discussing among themselves.

A young, beautiful girl with blonde hair and striking green eyes stepped gracefully onto the stage, dressed in an elegant, high-quality robe. In her hand, she held the auction hammer with tranquility.

She was the auctioneer on this day.

"This auction has officially started. There are a total of five items up for grabs! The first item is a rank four essence pill; you have all seen it before, so I do not need to explain its use further. The starting price is a hundred thousand dollars!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Birus said, "One million dollars!"

Yasuo looked at Birus without batting an eyelid.

'Oh, is that the father of Antony? Weak, very weak,' Though he was still a mortal, he could easily discern the foundation of this so-called 'strong' cultivator with a single glance. The way the man carried himself made it painfully clear—his foundation was pathetic.

'Just end this already; I want to start cultivating and, most importantly, receive my first client!' Yasuo couldn't care less about the disputes in here as long as he wasn't targeted.

All he wanted was for his item to be sold so he could earn some money, buy a suitable cultivation technique, and start benefiting from his system.

As expected, after the head of the Donking family bid for the item, more and more people joined in.

"Two million dollars!"

The leader of the Astro family, Jayce Astro, made a bid. He rarely used medicinal pills, and the ones he had were mostly six—or five-ranked. Jayce did not expect the first item to be auctioned as a fourth-ranking pill, which excited him quite a bit since he knew his trip wouldn't be in vain.

"Three million dollars!"

Another voice followed closely from behind. It was none other than the leader of the Niburu family, Peter Niburu. His eyes were burning as he looked at the pill on the stage. He needed it to increase his strength.

Peter was the weakest leader among the three family heads. He had just entered the golden core cultivation 5th stage, so he urgently needed this kind of pill to consolidate his strength.
