"Evelyn go and arrange the car. We're going to the Dragon Phoenix Auction House," Ray told Evelyn, who nodded and left to make all the preparations.
Ray wore a all-black suit tailored for high nobles. With a well defined jawline and crimson red eyes, he resembled a handsome angel who would fulfill your wish, but will take something extremely valuable from you in return.
Ray left the mansion and got into his car.
There were ten or so guards around to accompany him, and to protect him against any dangers as he was still fairly weak compared to other well established counts.
Evelyn signaled the driver to head towards the Auction House while the bodyguards, too, headed in another three cars.
They quickly passed through the noble area of the centre of the city and went into the commercial zone.
The city, Fallen Angel City was divided into four zones; core where the nobles stayed, commercial zone where many growing and falling business buzzed, outer zone where commoners stayed and lastly the slums
They arrived at the Dragon Phoenix Private Estate, which had been turned into an Auction House.
Evelyn got out first and opened the door for Ray.
She then walked slightly behind Ray towards the VVIP entrance.
She had already arranged everything, so Ray received the best VVIP room there as Ray was not just some Nobel but the Count of this territory itself.
Ray sat down on the sofa and signaled for Evelyn to sit beside him.
"Evelyn, how many times do I have to tell you to sit besides me?"
Ray asked while looking at the catalog handed to him by a female attendant stationed there to assist the VVIPs and make them feel comfortable.
"I would have done so but I still need to stay professional." Evelyn replied and went outside the room.
Beside Ray, only the female assistant remained.
Sofia, a newbie who recently got the opportunity to work at the Dragon Phoenix Auction House due to her popular beauty. She looked like someone who would be nice to have, to entertain important guests for the auction. As she was clearly very alluring.
At the same time, outside the Auction House, a few more cars stopped and a young woman and a young man got out along with a large number of bodyguards. It seemed they were heading towards the same Auction House, Ray was currently in.
"Are you sure about spending that much money just to get a single mana core for Sir Edward? Will it be worth it, Young Miss?"
A beautiful female bodyguard asked Mira.
"Of course, sister Airi. Brother Edward had saved me from those thugs when I ran away alone in the outer zone so I would definitely help him in anything with all my power." Mira said while gesturing good wills towards Edward.
Hearing her words, a little smile appeared on Edward's face.
It seemed like Mira was talking about buying a rather precious mana stone for Edward from the Auction today.
"Are you sure? It seemed way too precious to spend on someone you have just met a month ago," Airi spoke out to Mira in a low voice.
"Don't worry, It will be alright."
"I'm the daughter of Baron Julian. I should at least help this much for someone who saved my face," Mira muttered to Airi while walking forward.
"Come on, brother Edward, let's go inside," Mira waved at Edward, who was admiring the whole Auction House and took him along with Airi to a VVIP room number two.
Meanwhile, in VVIP Room No. One, Ray was sitting on the sofa, staring at the huge screen before him, waiting for the Auction to start.
"Everyone is welcome to our Dragon Phoenix Auction, ladies and gentlemen. I, Lily, will be your auctioneer for today!"
A sweet melodious voice echoed through the auction hall as a beautiful woman wearing an elegant robe with a veil appeared on the stage
Murmur Murmur
Other guests were surprised to see Lily herself hosting today because she rarely ever makes her appearance, but it seemed like today was a special day.
Lily hosted today because she wanted to increase her network with the Gracefall family, so she, herself, decided to host when she got to know that the Count himself was present today.
Seeing the chattering of the audience Lily quickly started the introduction before wasting any more time.
"Today, we have several good items and a special surprise for everyone here," Lily announced excitedly. This news made the people who attended the Auction more curious.
Mira and Edward were also happy to see this change.
"So let's not waste any more time and start the excitement with our first item, the E-Rank artifact known as the moonlight sword."
"The starting bid will be 1 million LYP, and the increment will be 100 thousand LYP each!" Lily announced.
People started to bid on this land, Mira too decided to join the fun.
"1.5 Million LYP,"
"1.8 Million LYP,"
"2 Million LYP,"
"2.5 Million LYP," Mira said from her VVIP Room.
"10 Million LYP ! " a voice came from VVIP Room 1. Nobody knew who was sitting there but they were shocked at the bid. Even Mira and Edward were startled by the amount.
"Going once, going twice, sold to bidder VVIP Room 1 for 10 Million LYP !" Lily announced happily.
...…
"A while ago, just before Mira and her group arrived, Ray listened to an all too familiar ding and a transplant window appeared before his eyes.
"ULTIMATE PLEASURE SYSTEM"
[Son Of Destiny detected within System radius]
—New Feature Unlocked—
[Villain Mode: Steal the women and power from Son Of Destiny to earn TP and increase in lifespan]
"Huh? Son Of Destiny? What the hell? Wasn't I transmigrated into a sex game type world? How come a new genre is unlocked the moment I am outside the mansion."
….
'System, does that mean directly killing the Son Of Destiny also gives me TP and lifespan?'
[No, killing the Son Of Destiny directly doesn't give any rewards as directly killing without plundering isn't anything noteworthy, while slowly taking away everything from the Son Of Destiny gives host TP, lifespan and a 99% guarantee win gacha spin ticket]
"So, if I go around killing Son of Destiny after completely plundering his life, I get the rewards, huh."
'How can I know who the Son Of Destiny is?' Ray was curious about this.
[When they are in the vicinity of the host you will automatically know it.]
…
"10 million LYP," Ray said.
"Going once, going twice, sold to bidder VVIP Room 1 for 10 million LYP!" Lily announced happily.
Why was he buying this weak artifact when he had stronger ones? Well just because he was rich.
Not just rich but richie rich. He who was dirt shit poor in his previous life was now rich so what other ways will he spend money other than just wasting it.
"Moving on, this second item is a spell technique named Tornado Ash."
"Bidding will remain the same at 1 million LYP for the rest of the items as well, and the increment will be 100k LYP," Lily said while gesturing to her assistant to move the item in the middle for everyone to see clearly.
The bidding started again, but the voice from VVIP Room One came once again.
"15 million LYP."
