Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 1055 You Can’t Refuse

Grey and his friends didnʼt spend any time in the town, they quickly entered the portal leading to the small world.

When they got there, Grey looked around before saying.

”Is there an auction or something?” This was his first time here, so he naturally didnʼt know anything about the place.

Alice nodded and replied, ”Yes, they occasionally host auctions. I believe an auction should be held tonight.”

Hearing Aliceʼs reply, Grey nodded. He forgot to ask his father for help with the matter of Aryaʼs brother, so he decided to try to see if he could get a treasure that helped with spiritual damage. As long as he managed to get something like this, he wouldnʼt need his fatherʼs help any more.

When they entered the place, there was two days before the next auction would be taking place. Since Grey was interested in the auction, the others waited for him. Alice felt they might need something, hence she introduced the place to them.

Klaus and Reynolds showed little to no interest, Grey on the other hand asked if he could find what he was looking for. It didnʼt take long to confirm that there would be an appearance of such an item in a few hours during the auction.

The group waited for two days and the auction started as usual.

Alice took Grey and the others to the place reserved for the Asterope Faction.

Before long, the auction was about to start. The person who stepped on stage first was a middle-aged man who was in the Elemental Venerable Plane.

”Laidies and gentlemen, welcome to this monthʼs monthly auction. As usual, the items will be given to the highest bidders.” The middle-aged man said a few words and the auction started officially.

The first item to appear was a pill that helped those in the Overlord Plane get enlightenment and break through to the Sage Plane.

Some people are unable to break through on their own and require help from external forces. A pill like this was exactly what they needed to aid their breakthrough to the Sage Plane.

Grey and his friends didnʼt need such an item, so they didnʼt bother too much with it. After this item, the next item to appear was a legendary item, but it was only useful for those in the Elemental Venerable Plane.

The few Elemental Venerables that were in the hall bid for it and after a long hassling, one female Elemental Sovereign managed to obtain it.

The other Elemental Venerables were a bit annoyed, but there was nothing they could do. The item was already overpriced, and going any higher would put them in a tough position.

The item that was up for sale next were the bones of a Peak Sage Plane Magical Beast. If the bones of such a beast was made into an elemental weapon, then itʼs strength would be improved. If used by a Sage Plane Elementalist, the overall power of the person would increase by at least five percent.

The compatability of the weapon depends on the element of the beast and the human using it as a weapon. If both were of the same element, then the attack power would increase and see an increase that was at most half of the original attack power. Those who didnʼt have a good connection with the weapon would see a twenty or sixty percent increase. It mainly depends on the comparability of the Elementalist.

The item sold for a staggering ten thousand elemental stones. Elemental stones were stones that had managed to accumulate a large amount of elemental essence. Elemental stones are divided into three grade, low, mid, and high grade. The level of these elemental stones were all top notch, meaning they were all in the high grade.

Staring at his storage ring, they found out that there were treasures that could only be used in the Elemental Sovereign Plane. What they found annoying was what such a secret was doing in the body of a security personnel. They soon found out that the man was part of the few people who received Elemental Venerables.

Seeing that this person received an important customer, he took his place after taking him out, he served the Elemental Venerable and made sure they were in good health.

He used the opportunity to take a good spot and see the area. This was a golden opportunity for him, so he also got a good spot and also managed to get a good place amongst all the places.

Seeing the treasures, Grey didnʼt make any moves.

Just as the auction was still going on, Alice made a move for an item. It was an ice elemental them. As long as the Seelie took it, it would help it advance, increasing her own stage as well.

When she was about to get the item, another secret room made a move for the item. Something originally valued at five thousand essence stones shot to well over fifty thousand because of this person.

Alice gritted her teeth and decided to make one last bid.

”Donʼt worry, fold.” Before she could make it, she heard Greyʼs voice in her ear.

With an annoyed expression on her face, she didnʼt try to make any other bid for the item.

In the secret room, the figure there was a little stunned.

”I thought she needed this urgently? What the hell?!” The figure complained when he saw that Alice gave up on it. He only wanted to make sure Alice bought the item at an exorbitant amount.

With Greyʼs involvement, Alice didnʼt need to pay that amount, but would still get the item.

Some time passed and the item Grey wanted appeared. It was something that helped spiritual senses. It was originally valued at ten thousand elemental stones.

Within the space of a minute, it shot up to over one hundred thousand elemental stones. Even if all Grey had been doing was accumulating wealth all this while, there was no way he had that amount.

Thinking of this, he gave up on this and tried to see where the person who bought the item from was located. It was surprisingly another person, not the person they managed to trick for the item Alice wanted.

They were soon caught in a dilemma, which of the people they would go after. Since Alice needed the item that boosted ice abilities, it was alright to take the item from the person who bought it. But with Aryaʼs brother in a coma, Greyʼs item seemed to be more important.

Alice agreed to them heading in the direction of the person who kept Greyʼs item, the reason was because she knew she could grow stronger even without that. The only reason she felt pressured was due to the fact that Grey and Reynoldsʼ Elemental Warrior were already at the Peak.

Klaus wasnʼt at the Peak, and so long as she cultivated diligently, she would get there. Of course, using such treasures werenʼt condemned.

….

”Leave the item behind and you can leave.” Greyʼs cold voice rang out.

They had managed to stop the person who bought the item for spiritual senses, but the person didnʼt have any plans of cooperating.

”In your dreams.” The person sneered.

Even if Grey wanted to exchange something for it, this young man had no plans in exchanging for it.

Greyʼs expression was cold as he looked at the young man, ”Then you will die.”

”You havenʼt been able to kill me, do I look like Iʼm afraid of you?” The young man snorted and attacked.

This was the second time Grey attacked him, but he was able to escape from Greyʼs first attack unscathed.

This time, he knew that it would be almost impossible to repeat the same feat. But he was already at the Peak of the Sage Plane, Grey was not his match, or so he thought.

Before he could attack, Greyʼs aura spiked and it not only rivaled his, but it also overwhelmed it.

The expression of the young man changed drastically when he sensed this.

He was covered in the lightning and wind element and escaped.

Greyʼs figure started to fade, he had already teleported from the spot, but the speed made it seem like he was still standing there.

Grey blocked the path of the young man, making sure he wasnʼt able to escape.

Boom!

They exchanged a blow and the young man was forced to take a step back.

”What do you want?” He asked coldly.

”You already know. Hand it over, and Iʼll be nice.” Grey said.

”I paid for it.” The young man replied, unwilling to let Grey have it so easily.

”I know. Iʼll hand you some treasures as well.” Grey said.

The young man asked for the treasures, but when he heard them, his face turned dark.

”No deal.” He said coldly.

”Do you think youʼre in a position to refuse?” Grey was amused.

If not for the fact that he didnʼt want it to seem like he was bullying the other party, he wouldʼve already attacked.
