Old Li sighed in relief and explained. "Though this girl seemed to be small, she is definitely a genius of the dwarven tribe. Some of you might not believe me but I suspect that she might be from the royal bloodline."

As soon as his words sounded, the hall was stunned into silence. The royal bloodline? What did that imply? Unlike humans, dwarves were not divided into thousands of territories. On the contrary, there was a sole ruler that ruled the dwarves. That was the Dwarven Royal Clan. Their strength was so terrible that no other dwarven clan dared to object—or oppose—them. Now Old Li dared to claim that she was from the Royal Clan. He must have hit his head in between the doors before coming to the auction. 

After a brief silence, a peal of laughter reverberated. Then the entire hall was filled with chuckles and mockery and curses. Artisan Ironclad couldn't help but mock. "Old Li, do you think you're too smart, or you think we're are too stupid? You can con others with false information but not us. You did the same with that White Rosemary Flower. You told only prose but you left the terrible cons of the herb."

Immediately, people in the hall were left stunned. Most of them didn't have a strong background. Therefore, they didn't know much about the White Rosemary Flower. After hearing that it could awaken a star, they started to fight over it vigorously. Now it seemed that something was wrong with White Rosemary Flower. 

Khrom heard Artisan Ironclad's words and his expression became awful. He clenched his fist and blood started to drip. However, Kadyn didn't realise it as his attention was somewhere else. 

Old Li's expression also didn't look good when Ironclad exposed his petty trick. He thought that none of those people would stoop low enough to expose this matter. As he didn't lie about the effect of the flower and just didn't tell about the consequences of taking it. However, who would have thought that this Ironclad would say it so bluntly in front of the masses. After today the reputation of the Slave Auction House would definitely decrease.

Old Li clenched his fist and glared towards room number four with viciousness. Afterwards, he suppressed his anger and indignation and said. "At least, let me explain before accusing me of anything." He said, but could not hide the resentment from his voice.

"Sure, I would like to hear your explanation." Ironclad sneered. 

The old man took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He was getting agitated after being provoked by Ironclad again and again. If it wasn't for his strength, Old Li would have already thrown him out of the Auction House. Afterwards, he looked at the dwarven girl inside the cart and said. "I said I suspect that she is from a Royal Clan but I didn't say that I'm confident about it. Furthermore, I said that because this girl herself admitted it."

"Are you kidding us? How would we know if you are speaking the truth about it?" this time it was Artisan Hot Rod who questioned. "Who knows if you have terrorised that little girl to admit it in front of us?"

Old Li was left speechless by such a counter, his face turned a little red; however, he hid it without letting anyone see. He thought that he could use this fact to raise the price. Now it seemed that it had become a bone in his throat, painful to swallow, hard to remove. He couldn't help but once more glare at room number four hatefully. It was all because of that bastard Ironclad. 

"He dug his own grave." Kadyn shook his head and murmured

"What do you mean?" Elora asked.

"He thought that he was smart and tried to con other people before this. However, he forgot that today's audience wasn't just ordinary people. Therefore when he coaxed other people in previous bids. The VIPs became vigilant. He could blame only himself for being stupid." Kadyn couldn't help but find the situation a little funny. How could an old and cunning man like him, make such a blunder. It seems being extra cunning is also not good. 

Old Li appeared gloomy after being embarrassed by others, time and again. He thought that he could gain a huge fortune by conning these people. But today's situation was completely different from his expectations. He didn't know how to proceed. He cleared his throat and said. "Let's leave the matter of her being a royal aside. Let me tell you that she can forge an intermediate grade artefact already."

"Sigh, I can't take it anymore." Artisan Ironclad said. "Don't you feel any embarrassment, old man? Do you think forging an intermediate grade elementary artefact is something great? Just start the stupid bidding, even I'm starting to feel sorry for you." 

The audience burst into a peal of laughter. Old Li looked gloomy and his expression was dark. He clenched his teeth in fury and said. "Now we'll start the bidding. The starting price is hundred thousand dollars." 

People gasped when they heard the price. Hundred thousand? Isn't that too much for a girl? 

"Old man, you really have a big appetite." Ironclad mocked. 

However, Old Li ignored his remark this time; he knew that he would only embarrass himself by arguing with that brute. 

"One hundred and ten thousand." Someone from room number three—who was silent all this time—spoke. 

"Haha, so it is Patriarch Irabel." Barret Duncan laughed and said. "I'm also a little interested in that girl. Though she might not know the secrets of dwarven tribe's forging. She would definitely become a Rank 1 artisan after some nurturing. It seems my branch is lacking an artisan of that rank. One hundred fifty thousand." He knew what the Patriarch of Irable House was thinking, so he didn't mind speaking out loud.

After a small silence, someone from room number five-spoke with a hoarse voice. "One hundred eighty thousand."

Khrom who was sitting beside Kadyn heard the voice and his body trembled and his eyes turned red as the murderous look emerged on his face. Kadyn happened to see the change on his face and became bewildered.
