Awakening the War God

Chapter 167 The Auction Begins

"I'm back!"

Calling out weakly, Kelly Fisher knocked on the door.

As the door opened, he entered the room looking dispirited and slumped down on the sofa.

In the room, Bernard, Peter, and Alonzo were all still awake.

Anxious, Alonzo asked, "How did it go? Did you kill Gabriel?"

While he had been leaning on the railing, he hadn't been able to clearly see the entire battle.

Peter, who was smoking on the side, teased, "Look at his mournful face. It seems like he failed!"

"Huh?" Alonzo was taken aback. "You mean even Kelley couldn't even kill Gabriel, Kelly Fisher?"

"I did kill him!" Kelly Fisher immediately retorted, rolling his eyes at Peter.

Bernard, puzzled, asked, "If you killed him, why do you look so mournful, as if you lost the fight?"

In any case, Kelly Fisher's demeanor after returning didn't seem right.

"Yeah, what's going on?" Alonzo also pressed, feeling that something was amiss.

With a sigh, Kelly Fisher angrily pulled out his broken blade, saying with great sadness, "Take a look, my blade is broken. This was my beloved sword Killerblade! Waaah, Mr. Garza, you must compensate me handsomely!"

With his blade broken, he couldn't even be happy after killing Gabriel.

"This Gabriel sure is something. He actually broke your blade. Fortunately, you managed to kill him; otherwise, it would have been troublesome!" Alonzo was quite surprised.

Kelly Fisher's double wielding was nearly invincible, and yet someone had managed to break his blade.

"Mr. Garza, about the compensation?" Seeing that Alonzo wasn't mentioning compensation, Kelly Fisher quickly reminded.

"Of course. Wasn't this auction meant to feature a famous Jadian sword, the Ogre Slayer? I'll bid for it and give it to you!" Alonzo said generously, waving his hand.

"Really?" Kelly Fisher was overjoyed.

The Ogre Slayer was a famous ancient Jadian sword, used for slaying demons.

Its value was several times greater than Killerblade's.

If he could really obtain the Ogre Slayer, it would be a blessing in disguise, making him even more unbeatable with his double wielding.

"Of course, I'm serious. Did I ever lie to you?" Alonzo laughed heartily. As long as Gabriel was dead, he was relieved. A few million dollars meant nothing to him.

Furthermore, Kelly Fisher was his favorite and most trusted guardian. Equipping his beloved subordinate a bit better was only natural.

It would help him complete missions more effectively in the future.

"By the way, do me a favor and open Gabriel's room for me. That bitch Angela might be in there!"

Now that Gabriel was dead, Alonzo was in high spirits, and he wanted to enjoy himself physically.

And to make himself feel better physically, he needed to catch Angela.

Just the thought of toying with the starlet who had captured the hearts of all Dragon Kingdom men delighted him.

"Of course, I'll go right away!"

Kelly Fisher was full of beans and in high spirits, thinking about the Ogre Slayer all the way.

He walked to the balcony, leaped out, and then floated back into Room V1515.

Meanwhile, Alonzo waved at the two bodyguards who had been standing all day and also arrived at the door of Room V1515.

The timing was just right. Kelly Fisher opened the door from the inside!

"Where's that bitch Angela?" Alonzo asked.

However, Kelly Fisher shrugged and said, "There's no one inside!"

"No one?" Alonzo's eyes widened, and he rushed inside, frantically searching.

After searching everywhere but he finding nothing, he became so angry that he started smashing things.

"Angela, show yourself now, or I'll make your life worse than death when I find you!" With a roar, the enraged Alonzo kicked a coat hanger to the ground!

This sound almost woke up everyone on the entire cruise ship...

As dawn broke, the cruise ship remained quietness.

Two things were happening that day.

The first was Alonzo leading people to search the entire ship for Angela, but after a day's efforts, she was still nowhere to be found.

The second was Dean leading his men to thoroughly investigate the secret fight that had occurred last night. Eventually, they traced it back to Alonzo's room, and Alonzo admitted quite candidly that his people had killed Gabriel.

Although Dean was very angry, he ultimately let it go!

Night fell once again, at seven o'clock.

The mysterious seventh floor of the cruise ship was finally open.

Guests from the fifteenth floor started descending one by one, heading to the auction there.

The Golden Ocean Auction, one of the world's most mysterious auction events.

At this moment, the cruise ship was far from the coast, out in international waters.

And here, several invaluable items were about to be auctioned off.

The grand seventh floor resembled a circular arena!

In the center, spotlights focused on the main auction stage.

Around it were thirty separate guest auction areas, each hosting a specially invited guest.

These guests were either wealthy or noble, representing all the occupants of rooms from V1501 to V1530 on the fifteenth floor.

The auction was set to begin at 7:30 PM, and the atmosphere was already lively. A group of beautiful women were performing a dance routine to warm up the crowd.

Time passed quickly, and it was just five minutes until 7:30 PM.

Suddenly, the music came to a halt, and the performers left the stage!

A stunning woman dressed in a shimmering golden gown entered the center of the venue, moving gracefully like a mermaid.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Golden Ocean Auction!"

Her elegant and melodious voice resonated throughout the venue, and the seated guests applauded in response.

"This auction is different from previous ones because the ten items up for the bidding are extremely precious. To truly reflect their value, the auction will be split into two sessions!"

"Today, we will be auctioning off five items. All you esteemed guests have already received detailed lists of the items, providing you with some insight. Today, we will showcase the actual items and conduct live transactions!"

"The rules of our Golden Ocean Auction are simple: the highest bidder wins with no price cap, and the minimum increment is not less than eight thousand dollars. Guests who arrive late or fail to be present at the venue will forfeit their bidding qualifications!"

"Unfortunately, our No. 1 and No. 15 guests, for some unknown reason, are not present today. Besides this session, they will also be unable to participate in tomorrow night's second auction!"

"But enough talk, the auction is about to begin!"

After announcing the rules, the venue was filled with cheerful music.

Meanwhile, the attending guests couldn't help but glance at the empty seats reserved for guests No. 1 and No. 15.

For such a rare auction opportunity, that someone was invited and but did not attend was incomprehensible!

Alonzo cast a triumphant smile as he looked at the empty seat at No. 15. This was the consequence of going against him.

The music abruptly stopped, and a beautiful woman pushed the first exhibit forward, positioning it in the center of the exhibition area.

"The first exhibit is an exquisite work of art, a ceramic from Dragon Kingdom, Victoria era. It features a small mouth, long neck, bulging abdomen, and ring foot. Named 'gallbladder vase' due to its gallbladder-like shape, it is adorned with blue and white sea wave patterns all over. A dragon in bas-relief, coated with white glaze, curls and swims amid turbulent waves in the sea. The design is innovative, with vivid color contrast and a strong three-dimensional effect, making it highly collectible!" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"The starting bid is three million dollars. If you're interested, please raise your paddles and make your bids!"

After the introduction, the female host picked up a wooden mallet and smiled gently.

Guest No. 21, a bespectacled chubby man who had his arm around a woman in a gown, was the first to raise his paddle.

"Three point five million thousand dollars!"
