Chapter 203 - 203 - The Auction Truly Starts [ Part 2 ]
"The Broken Heaven everyone."
Nigel said as he quickly left from the center and waved his towards the glass container. A huge flashlight flashed above the sword as peoples gasped in Ohh's and Ahh's.
Nigel walked towards the sword as he said quietly towards that was not heard by anyone, even the bunny girls.
"To lose such a beauty when I have just gotten a slice of it… It is a loss… truly a loss."
Nigel exhaled as he turned towards the hall his previous sorrowful face replaced to the crazy smiling one. He said loudly as his voice seemed to be a speaker themselves as everyone heard what he said.
"Well, Then my special guests. The moment you have been waiting for is finally in front of you. The Sword from history, the sword capable of massive achievements and the half sword that was able to make an ordinary man reach heights unbelievable by men."
"THE BROKEN HEAVEN."
Even though he announced the sword previously this time he made it sound like the guests were in a fighting ring as some clapped out loud and most felt invigorated on the inside.
Adam and Carl were no exception as the first clenched the number stick with great force seemingly wanting to break it.
"Patience"
The sound of William came from their earplugs as both calmed down and Adam looked at the glass case in nostalgia.
"You will get that sword, I promise.
Just hang on their for a while before the real bid starts and get everyone by surprise, You Get Me?"
Adam nodded resolutely as he slowly put down the number stick and looked towards the second floor where the Great House were situated in.
'The biggest problem won't be me agitating for bidding but the people over there.'
"Before we start the bid let me tell you guys something about this bid."
"As most of you know that the bid for the sword is 25 Billion Dollars. But there is a slight change in the bid."
Worry could be seen on the guests as they thought about increased price. But Nigel was quick to dissuade that thought from their heads.
"No, The price of the sword hasn't changed if that's what some of you were worrying about, What changed was its style of bid."
"Normally the items we had sold previously had an increase of either 1 Million Dollars or 10 Million Dollars and some were even more. But this one won't be like that."
Nigel slowly walked while facing front and said, "The bid would be a free increase. Not one that is regulated."
The guests were relieved by the first announcement but the second one took them by surprise.
"YES! That means that you increase your bid to any number you want. It can be 1 Million or a billion or a trillion or even the small amount of 1 dollar."
Everyone were confused by this slight change and William and his entourage were not an exception to this.
William asked, "Did you know about this?"
"No… This was not in the pamphlet nor in the website and even the ones I am getting inside information from." Delmar shook his head while saying.
"Maybe this was added a few moments earlier."
"But Why?" William asked as the huge tv showed a slightly quite hallway with some murmuring here and there.
Many were not either courageous enough or cared enough to stand up and ask for information. Fortunately one was curious enough to stand up and ask.
The guy who stood up was from a table far behind in ranking, He stood up and coughed for attention.
Nigel quickly turned to see figure in the distance as he asked, "Yes, Sir. Do you need something?"
The guy replied hesitantly, "Yeah… Can you tell us why you made such a change?"
Others also agreed with him as they nodded and some voiced their concern.
Nigel smiled as he hid his face behind the top hat he was wearing and said. "Well, Sir. It's very simple, really."
"For Chaos"
Confusion was etched on everyone's face as the man standing asked again, "But Why?"
"Why…" Nigel had a thoughtful look before it turned into a dangerously crazy smile, "Because if we don't experience fun even in such a grand event, what is the point of it all?"
Everyone became even more confused as they didn't know what to say anymore to those words.
The guy asking the questions wanted to ask 'Why do you want chaos' But was quickly sidelined as Nigel spoke.
"Okay, Anymore questions? No, Alright then let's start the show then." Nigel said quickly as he didn't want to answer idiotic questions.
William just looked at the screen with his mouth slightly open, "What the hell was that?"
Delmar shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows, Boss? I bet nobody knew that they were going to pull this stunt."
"Somebody knew"
William and Delmar looked at the screen to see it was Adam.
"Who?"
"Who else can it be other than them?"
Adam said in a mysterious voice before William knew that he was talking about the Great Houses.
William said in agreement, "No wonder those guys are silent even after hearing such a ridiculous agreement."
"Yes, they would be the ones who would get the latest information." Delmar nodded as he thought about the matter.
"So, you're telling me you don't have a good network then?"
"Boss. I know that you are spending billions of dollars in me but still they have been here for thousands of years. I can't just get a better or even the same amount of network as them."
"I figured that but still to be thumped like this is not a good feeling."
"I'll try to reach out more, boss."
William only nodded as he saw the next scene.
"The bid for this great sword will start in Three…
Two…
One…"
'BANG'
As soon as the bang sound came out hands were lifting themselves up with a double number on all hands.
Nigel pointed towards the first row as he said, "Table 32 for 25 Billion Dollars, anyone else?"
Hands were stretched out again but this time a odd thing happened.
"Table 48"
The crowd was silent for the next bid but Nigel waited for a moment before asked the person who bid in Table 48.
"Sir… your bid."
"Didn't you just pick me?" The guy asked in confusion.
Nigel nodded as he clarified.
"Friends as I have said before you would have to tell your bid to me. Just being chosen by me doesn't work. I would choose the fastest and then you would have to tell me your bid. Otherwise your bid wouldn't count."
"Just like the man who was chosen earlier, Because he didn't bid immediately after getting chosen his bid is going to automatically get cancelled."
The crowd was a dissatisfied with this new change but they didn't object, the man who had just lost his bid was very dissatisfied and wanted to curse the guy but Nigel continued the bid.
"Table 37"
"26 Billion Dollars"
Nigel immediately called out another person.
"Table 45"
"27 Billion Dollars"
"Table 420"
"27 Billion Dollars and 1 dollar"
