Chapter 167 [Broken Heart]
"The next time for auction for True Fire Lotus Flower, it will be in three days," Sora said as she touched her chin and she sat down as she looked at both the young people.
"Oh I see then let me ask you this question what if I want to buy the term right now how much would that cost?" Ezequiel asked as he tapped his finger on his chair.
"Well we aren't allowed to do that but... I can make an exception for someone as honorable as you. An instant purchase will cost twenty-percent more than the estimated sales price. We can offer an accurate quote once you’ve considered it. But the increase will be twenty percent if you agree to those terms it will be fine."
"How about that?"
Ouranos heart was hurting a lot a person who loves making Kruger's six million Kruger's out the bucket just like that it's just like telling him to just stab his own heart he tried his best not to cry.
Yes, he saved up a small fortune over the years, but that had been earned with his sweat and blood!
Their eyes met, teacher and student communicating in silence before the former nodded.
“Fine. Give us two auction tickets. We’ll come bid for the flower in three days.”
"Alright please wait here," Sora said as she bowed her head and she turned around and she walked away.
"Teacher, I heard they are some people who earn free terms at an auction why is that."
"That's because they have a term from the auction and they value you or her."
"Really?"
One of the term he was able to get it from Erenay he really doesn't know where Erenay got that term he needed but it was like a peace of cake but he didn't want to bother her anymore with another term.He knows she would gladly help him without even asking for anything in return.
In truth, Ouranos had been nervous. Not only was it the Zoken Grail Academy exam in a week, but he had to wait three days before he could lay hands on the True Fire Lotus. That left him with four days to break the seal. Luckily, his body was stronger than it had been during the first unsealing. As such, he should just make it.
He already knows Solomon so he isn't worried about him both of them did find each other's account on the Aku Media. They communicate with each other and they said they will work together in the competition and get through these tests and help each other.

Three days
Ezequiel and Ouranos both went to the auction house as they walked inside they found there seat and they sat down. Ouranos felt so nervous few let's just calm down when he gets this everything will be fine.
Every single item auctioned was a rarity and the mood was soon set.
“The eleventh item to be auctioned is a high-grade thousand-year True Fire Lotus Flower. The starting price is three million. The minimum bid increase is one hundred thousand. Let the bidding begin.”
"Three million," Ouranos raised his board and he let out a sigh thing will be fine.
“Three million one hundred thousand.” A person followed quickly.
Because of the lack of side effects and its ability to increase one’s constitution while strengthening the physique, the True Fire Lotus Flower was expensive. Tremendously so, in fact. For large clans, it was seen as a necessity, used in rearing the younger generation. Thus, the demand for it was always high.
“Three million five hundred thousand.”
“Three million eight hundred thousand”
The price kept increasing. The hand in which Ouranos held the number plate grew sticky with sweat. At the current bidding rate, the price would soon exceed five million!
Regret crept into his heart. If he had known this would be the outcome, he would have paid six million up front!
For every item on the program, the sales price listed was the minimum amount of money the auction house needed in order to break even.
“Five million four hundred thousand!" Ouranos heart was crying out if only he did this upfront he wouldn't be suffering like this.
“Five million seven hundred thousand!” Another person shouted out.
“Six million three hundred thousand.” He had no choice but to continue.
“Six million five hundred thousand.”
“Six million eight hundred thousand.”
“Seven a million three hundred thousand!” Ouranos was now standing up he cried in his heart he really cruse everything around him right now he gasped as he broke into tears he couldn't believe it this is way to painful!
Finally, the audience was quiet. A pin drop could be heard.
“Seven million three hundred thousand going once!
“Seven million three hundred thousand going twice!
“Seven million three hundred thousand going three times!
“And sold!”
Ouranos sat down and he cried in his heart his broke he is no longer rich he looked at Xiao who patted him on the hand and he put his hands on his chest so hard.
"The price you won it for today is about normal. Do you understand now?”
"Teacher do you understand I broken I am broke teacher I am broke now I was once a rich young prince and now I am broke prince my country isn't known to be the richest but at list we are still striving to the highest places but still I am heart broken I can't help it but touch my heart!"
"Let's go then," Ezequiel said he really didn't comfort Ouranos at all he was so cold.
The shock in my heart!
