Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the front, a man with a feminine aura snorted and said, “Hmph, nothing good will happen when these two fellows get together.”

Many people heard this, but no one dared to say anything.

The three people took their seats and soon, the bidding began.

A middle-aged man in a white robe walked onto the stage, cupped his fists, and smiled at the crowd. He said, “I believe that everyone is clear about the purpose of coming here. I won't say anymore. Our method of bidding today is very simple. We will use heaven-tier powerhouses as the number of units. Each increment can not be less than one heaven-tier powerhouse. Now, I will ask the Castle Lords who do not have a heaven-tier powerhouse to leave the stage.”

The man's words were very cold and straightforward. Very soon, a few people stood up with red faces and ears, and they walked out.

After the man saw the few people leave, he smiled and said, “Alright, then the ones left below is are the Castle Lords that we need. Allow me to make a simple introduction. There will be six rounds of bidding. The base price is one heaven-tier powerhouse each time. The bid is not allowed to be lower than one heaven-tier powerhouse.”

The man glanced down and said, “If there are no objections, then we will start the bidding now.”

No one raised any objections.

The man nodded in satisfaction and said, “The first bid is for 1,000 Precision Instruments. The delivery fee is 900,000 gold coins. If the mission is not completed on time, the delivery fee will be refunded. If the Precision Instruments are stolen midway, the delivery fee will be refunded and the full compensation will be paid.”

Hearing this, Mike was shocked. He did not expect the Gnome Dwarves to be so bold. The first item was worth 1,800,000 gold coins, and the delivery fee was 50%. As expected of the largest shop in the Northern Region.

Mike and Little Jerry looked at each other and did not speak first. They understood that the first few times were fights between the large Castle Lords. Even Castle Lords like them were not qualified to be involved in missions like these.

Obviously, there were many people who thought like Mike. They kept silent at this time, waiting for the strongest Castle Lords to finish picking first.

“12 heaven-tier powerhouses.”

The one who said this was the organization of the rank one Damo Castle, Modar.

Mike and Little Jerry looked at each other and Mike smiled bitterly. “Looks like it's going to be a fierce battle later.”

Little Jerry nodded with a wry smile.

“No one is competing with Modar. The first bid goes to the lord of Damo Castle.”

Modar lazily sat on the chair, as if this was just a trivial matter.

The next two bids were bid by the effeminate man and Washington respectively. It was still a single bid, and no one participated in the bidding.

After the third bid, most of the people in the auction hall slowly sat up straight. They understood that for them, what came next was the most important part of the auction.

“The fourth bid is for 1,000 Precision Instruments. The delivery fee is 900,000 gold coins. If the mission is not completed on time, the delivery fee will be refunded. If the precision instrument is robbed midway, the delivery fee will be refunded and the full compensation will be paid.”

“1 heaven-tier powerhouse!” This voice came from the corner. However, this voice did not sound very confident.

Someone shouted, “You dare to bid just 1? 5 heaven-tier powerhouses!”

The one who spoke was the organization of the 16th-ranked Castle Lord.

“8!” The 4th-ranked Castle Lord of Youma Castle spoke.

For a moment, the arena became quiet again.

The man in white looked around and asked, “Are there any Castle Lords who can bid more heaven-tier powerhouses?”

No one replied.

The man frowned, and finally shouted helplessly, “The 4th bid, won by the Castle Lord of Youma Castle.”

Mike asked, “Do we really have to wait until the 6th bid?”

Little Jerry said, “The next bid will still be won by a team like the lord of Youma Castle. We can't compete with them, so we can only compete with those small Castle Lords.”

Mike nodded to show that he understood.

Soon, the 5th bid began, and the bid was raised to 7 heaven-tier powerhouses.

Suddenly, a voice came from Mike's side, “8 heaven-tier powerhouses.”

Mike turned his head and saw that it was the military counselor.

Mike patted little Jerry, and he instantly understood Mike's intention. He also patted Mike, telling him to do as he pleased.

Mike directly shouted, “10!”

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Mike, as if they did not believe that this mercenary organization, which had been established for more than ten years, could actually bring out ten heaven-tier powerhouses. Everyone was waiting for the reaction of the Lord of Gray Snake Castle.

The military advisor looked at Mike, and a hint of malice flashed in his eyes. However, he did not say anything. He said, “So it's Mike. Since you're so interested, then why don't we have a good time??”

Mike sneered and glanced at Gray Snake, not saying anything.

The man in white looked at Mike in surprise and asked, “Is there anyone who offers more than 10 heaven-tier powerhouses?”

No one answered.

“Okay, the 5th bid goes to the Dragon Castle.”

Everyone was shocked. They got a piece of news from the reaction of the Lord of Gray Snake Castle and the confirmation of the Gnomes.

The Dragon Castle actually had the strength to compete with the strongest Castle Lord of the Alliance of Gods!

Washington also turned his head and said to Mike, “Mike, I was thinking of offering you some help when you bid. I didn't expect you to be so powerful.”

Mike smiled. “I was just lucky.”

Washington smiled. “Mike, don't be too modest. Being able to gather so many experts is enough to prove your ability, Mike.”

Mike smiled. He did not know if it was true or not.

The sixth bid was open.

The Gray Snake Castle Lord seemed to be betting everything, directly calling out the bids of 9 heaven-tier experts.

The place fell silent for a moment, and only then did everyone come back to their senses. The Lord of Gray Snake Castle was still the Castle Lord who ranked fifth, even though its ranking would drop after today.

The white-clothed man asked, “But there are still more than nine heaven-ranked castle lords. If there aren't, the sixth bid will fall to the lord of Gray Snake Castle.”

Someone in the last row shouted, “10!”

Everyone looked towards the last row. The person who shouted stood up and said. “Although our Fierce Tiger Castle Lord doesn't have 10 heaven-tier powerhouses, we have gathered 10 heaven-tier powerhouses together with the three Castle Lords of West Saint, Overlord, and Six Brush. Mr. He, does this count?”

Mr. He was the man in white. He nodded and said, “As long as you can guarantee that your relationship will not break before the mission is completed, it will naturally be counted.”

The white-clothed man nodded.

That person let out a sigh of relief. He slowly sat down under the murderous gaze of the military advisor.

“I will try my best to not let anyone down.”

No one spoke anymore.
