My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character! - Chapter 605

Chapter 605: Chapter 605: The Astronomical Bid
“I’m sure that I don’t have to explain any more. You can probably see the value of our first offering.” The Auctioneer pulled the chain, which in turn pulled Lenniel until his face was pressed against the bars of the cage.

Lenniel’s clothes were torn from places, and there were marks all over his body as if he was already tortured very badly by the Seventh Primordial. He was also missing his left arm, which had been ripped apart.

Even if that arm could be healed in this world, the Seventh Primordial ensured that he went into an auction like this, so everyone could see this work of art created by him.

“Three Thousand Spirit Stones!” The Auctioneer had barely finished when the first bid came from the room assigned to the Second Primordial’s sister.

“To all other guests, I want to say that I really need this slave. So don’t fight with me,” she further said, her voice almost suppressing every other guest.

No one wanted to offend the sister of the Second Primordial. At least that was the case for those who weren’t in the VIP rooms. But those that were assigned special rooms were all very special people.

“Little girl, it would’ve been different if your brother was here, issuing that warning. But you’re still a little too young to pull tricks like this,” a voice rose from the fourth special room, which was taken by the Fourth Primordial.

“Four thousand spirit stones.” The same person increased the bid, starting a bidding war.

The other Primordials also jumped into the bidding war, increasing the bid until it reached three hundred thousand spirit stones. And it didn’t look like it was going to stop anything soon.

The Auctioneer was looking at the bid increase, unable to hide the glee on his face. He was going to get a fraction of the bidding amount, so the higher it went, the better it was for him.

Still, he had never expected the bid to get so high for merely an outsider. Within a few minutes, the bid was in the millions.

It was the highest that an outsider had gone in the bidding. The Auctioneer could only imagine how high this bid might have gone if they were auctioning the Tower Master himself.

Regrettably, that person had simply disappeared after his battle with the Hellhound Patriarch. Until now, there was no news of that person, as if he had simply been devoured by this world.

It made him believe that the person has already returned to his world, which further increased the value of Lenniel as the guide and informant of that world.

Eren was watching the bidding increase, and every time the Dragon Princess was in the lead, he felt his heartbeat increase.

‘I’m fine with anyone getting Lenniel, except for that woman. Please let it be anyone but her!’ Eren thought, almost on the verge of praying for his luck which he didn’t have much faith in.

“Fifty million.” Suddenly, a bid came that increased the bidding amount by five times in an instant.

Eren turned to Estelia in disbelief. As the sister of the first primordial, this woman was also filthy rich, which he had forgotten about.

‘I spoke too soon. Please let it be anyone except that woman and Estelia!’ He quickly rectified his prayer, realizing that it was just as bad if Lenniel was bought by Estelia.

“Sixty Million!” The Dragon Princess exclaimed, as the bidding war became even more fierce.

With every increasing bid, the other Primordials started getting out of the bids. Even if the person was valuable with the information that he came with, the bid was astronomical.

No amount of information that he might have had, was enough to recover that amount, especially since that information was also in the hands of the Seventh Primordial already.

It didn’t take long until only two people were left in the bid, both being young women that came from influential families. It wasn’t just a bidding war anymore, but a battle to show off their wealth.

It was the battle between the First Primordial and the Second Primordial that was being fought through their proxies in a way.

Meanwhile, Eren’s shoulders had dropped. The worst thing had happened. Everyone else had pulled out of the bidding. It meant that no matter who won, the loser was going to be him.

He couldn’t even cry over his luck now, as he already knew what kind of rotten luck he carried in this world.

He had gotten a little too optimistic after meeting the first primordial, forgetting that a few moments of good luck for him, were always accompanied by a truckload of bad luck.

“Hundred Million Spirit Stones!” Estelia exclaimed, increasing the bid even more. At this point, almost everyone was wondering if they had heard the wrong bid.

The bid had reached an amount that it never reached before. Even if the auction amount of the thousand most expensive slaves in history was combined together, it was still less than the current bid.

The Auctioneer’s voice was almost trembling as he announced the present bid, before looking towards the second vip room.

The Dragon Princess was biting her nails, as she realised that the bidding amount had truly gone beyond her limit. The money that her brother gave her, was for a different item, which was a true highlight of this auction.

If she spent any more now, then she was never going to be able to bid for the final auction item. Even though she really wanted Lenniel to know Eren’s past, she also understood her reality.

She cursed under her breath, as she convinced herself to give up. She stopped bidding anymore.

“Hah, congratulations on getting that outsider. It was fun to play with you and make you spend more than he is worth. I hope you can get some value out of him,” she said, her voice echoing across the auction house.

Even as she conceded her defeat, she made it seem like she was the ultimate winner and that it was never her intention to win in the first place.
