"House Kane bids 1 million gold coins' ' for the first time since the auction started, House Kane entered the bidding war for the herbs.

  "House Kane huh?" Michael recalled meeting Adam Kane, a prodigy of Golden Valley during Heaven's gate competition. He was one of the four celebrity disciples who came to judge the competition along with Alex Fisher, Cellina, and Sadie.

  "1.1 million gold coins" Noah placed the bid.

  "Humph! 1.2million" an elder from House Fisher harrumphed before placing a bid of 1.2million gold coins.

  "1.4million" Gaya raised the bid by 200,000 thousand after getting the signal from Michael. Sitting in his VIP room, he had no time to be happy about the ongoing bidding war as he kept monitoring each and every VIP room, trying to learn their highest bidding point.

  "1.6million"

  An elder from the House Kane room bid once again, and he increased the bid with another 200,000 thousand, causing the auction sight to become intense.

  "1.6 million! Those noble houses are filthy rich!"

  "House Kane and House Fisher are always at their throats in Royal land. Although their rivalry runs deep, they never entered into an all-out war.

  An auction place is one of the few places they could fight head to head without risking a war"

  "We're gonna be so rich" Nightmare laughed happily looking at the bidding war.

  "So House Kane finally decided to join heh?" An Elder from House Fisher teased the elders in House Kane's room. Michael stopped jumping between the VIP rooms and focused on the quarrel between House Kane and House Fisher. Because of Celina, it was inevitable that he would fight Alex Fisher. At that time, House Fisher may have become his enemy but if there was an enmity between House Kane and House Fisher he could exploit it to become House Kane's ally.

  "We rather don't join than begging other houses to back down"

  "Humph! 2million" the elder of House Fisher's voice became angrier after House Kane ridiculed them about the earlier event where House Fisher asked House Oswen to back down from bidding for Blackwing Saurus.

  After calling out his bid, House Fisher elder continued, "Let's see who has the balls to bid against us"

  "2.5million" Even before the elder could close his mouth, Gaya raised the bid by another 500,000 thousand gold coins. Many people watching this scene turned their gazes at Gaya who shouted at the host,

  "What the fuck are you waiting for? Is this the way the great phoenix auction manor does things? How could you let these old fucks bully people not to bid? Shouldn't this be a fair auction? How can we, normal people, bid if those old fucks threatened to kill us if we did?"

  "Yeah! How could you?"

  "The girl's right. The Phoenix auction manor should condone actions such as this" Almost everyone in the downstairs started to yell and throw their shoes at the old man.

  Seeing this, the old man's friendly smile was replaced with a cold expression, he immediately said, "Attention, friend from the house Fisher, this is a fair auction, you can't disturb other people's decision"

  Usually, the Phoenix auction manor would let the noble houses fight or bully others because the Phoenix manor valued gold coins more than the happiness of people downstairs. End of the day, bullies brought more coins than the bullied. This was the first time a girl from the downstairs almost riled up the crowd to this point.

  "House Fisher bid 3 million" As the elders did not hear the old man's words, they placed the next bid but the people downstairs were somewhat calmed down. After seeing Gaya returning to her seat, many followed her lead to continue to enjoy the bidding war.

  We have a 3million bids. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss it, you're going to regret it for the rest of your lives. Does anyone have a higher bid?"

  The old man asked. When he found out that no one else wanted to bid any higher, his face contained a smile. As a qualified auctioneer, he clearly knew that this basket full of Legendary herbs and Silk apples would at least reach 5 to 5.5 million. But, because of House Fisher's threatening words, no one else dared bid further. This really pissed the old man off.

  "Since no one else is bidding, I'll now announce; the Shangguan Clan wins this for 3 mill-…"

  "4 million."

  Before the old man could finish speaking, a calm voice sounded out from Noah's room. The old man was startled for a moment, then he immediately showed a joyful expression.

  "Damn! Who is that person? He directly ramped the price up to 4 million, incredible!"

  "I think it's Noah who bid just now. That youngster is incredibly overbearing! Not only has he offended Aragoth and few other major powers, but he's also now going to offend the House Fisher" some who recognized Noah's voice said as his words spread across the entire downstairs.

  "He doesn't give a shit about them as he's now a member of Guardian guild"……

  The audience was agitated, especially when they found out that the person who bid was that young man, Noah.? "Haha, good! VIP number 3 has just bid 4 million. Does anyone else have a higher bid? Anyone?"

  The old man was laughing out loud, and his mood was instantly lightened. Within private room number three, Noah was calmly sitting on the sofa. He didn't want any conflict to arise with House Fisher. He could let go of anything else, but not this basket of valuable herbs.

  The audience burst into an uproar. The entire auction hall was filled with gasps of shock. It was hard to imagine how furious House Fisher was right now. Many noble houses had just backed off, but now there were two reckless youngsters who stood out and fought with them.

  "Humph! 5 million."

  The elder from House Fisher snickered coldly. As a superpower and proud noble house of Royal Land, it would be really embarrassing if they lost to either this young man or the young girl sitting downstairs. Therefore, he increased the bid by a million.

  "5.5 million."

  But, just after House Fisher bid, Noah's voice sounded out from private room three once again.

  "These kids are really taking House Fisher on a ride" Michael saw the elders from House Kane laughing at House Fisher. They didn't seem like they really wanted the herbs but rather seemed like they wanted to mess with House Fisher.

  "Let's just join the party, 6.5 million" One of the elders placed the bid knowing that House Fisher would rather pay the price than losing to House Kane.

  The 6.5 million bid once again sent a storm through the audience. An even greater uproar arose in the audience, no one could remain calm any longer. Even the host who stood on the auction stage was so shocked that his mouth was wide open. 6.5 million gold coins, had far exceeded the actual value of the herb basket. He didn't expect the price to reach such heights.

  Right at this moment, Noah and the young girl's image had become huge in his mind; he was starting to fall in love with them. As an auctioneer, if he could make the price of an item exceed the actual value, he would be able to get a huge reward.

  "7.5million"

  "Insane! This girl is insane! 7.5 million gold coins, how can she be so rich? And why is she sitting with us instead of in one of those VIP rooms?"

  "9 million" Noah silenced the crowd with his bid. While looking at Noah's body language, Michael couldn't be 100% positive that he would go for higher bids, therefore, he ordered Gaya to stand down. Michael didn't want to push his luck.

  "It's called being filthy rich. Looks like Noah is going to get these herbs no matter what, and he doesn't even care that doing so is the same as offending the House Fisher. I wonder if the house Fisher will make an even higher bid."

  "I don't think so. They aren't stupid, 9 million has exceeded the herb basket's actual value. Furthermore, they also don't know if Noah will make another bid"

  "I don't think that foulmouthed girl gonna go for the herbs anymore"

  "Yeah, look at her. Two reckless youngsters stoodShe's not raising her hands''……

  The audience was heated. Everyone was discussing amongst themselves. The name Noah had once again become a hot topic.

  "Good, very good!"

  One of the elders of House Fisher said the word 'good' twice, and his voice was filled with rage. Anyone could tell how angry he was, and how much he hated the young man.

  "Noah, I guess you've managed to piss off a superpower once again after all"

  Norvin, the golden babaroo laughed. The monkey couldn't take his eyes from the Silk apples. On the other hand, Noah wasn't stupid as he knew the herb basket wasn't worth the price he paid but what the others dont know is that he has an ancient potion recipe that requires these herbs to make. Once he consumes the potion, he would certainly increase his star level in Alchemy. In other words, he paid 9 million to become a 4-star Alchemist.

  A few moments after the basket disappeared from the stage, the door to the third private room was opened. The auction house branch manager Vargas carried a silver plate in her hand as she walked into the room. On top of the plate was a golden card

  "What an astonishing deal, young master Noah"

  She said with a beautiful smile on her face. "Keep this and bring it to my room on the down floors to pay and get your item"

  "Will do, Miss Vargas"
