Chapter 318

The auction house was one of the few places where it was possible to obtain items that were difficult to find on the Dokkaebi Bag or General Exchange . Prophet Anna Croft had a few items to obtain here .

Anna Croft spoke the constellations of Olympus behind her . “The guards aren’t a problem?”

[Of course . Originally, this auction house is under the legal authority of our Olympus . In this Context of the Constellation, no one can touch you . ]

“Thank you . ” Anna Croft bowed and the shadow of the constellation protecting her disappeared . Anna Croft spoke towards Selena Kim . “Then let’s go in . “

” . . . Yes . ” Selena Kim replied in a dark voice .

As they moved through the corridor of the auction house, Anna Croft glanced at Selena Kim’s expression . Selena Kim, who was always smiling and kind to everyone, wasn’t smiling anymore .

“Selena . “

“Yes . “

In fact, Anna Croft knew when this change happened . The Gourmet Association . It was after meeting the Demon King of Salvation .

” . . . It’s nothing . “

Selena Kim lowered her head and looked forward again . Anna Croft felt strangely alone, even though she had ‘predicted’ it to some extent . She couldn’t properly cope with some things even if she knew the future . This was particularly true for human emotions .

[The 8611th Constellation Auction will begin!]

However, now wasn’t the time to be focused on such things . Anna Croft saw the constellations and incarnations filling the seats and reaffirmed her commitment . There was no one with an easy ‘status’ no matter where she looked . They were all deadly enemies .

[The first auction item!]

A senior dokkaebi stood at the podium of the auction . Anna Croft and Selena Kim took the seats they preempted in advance and participated in the auction . Several items were sold in an instant and Anna Croft bought some of them .

‘A manticore’s teeth . ‘

‘Scales of an Ancient Dragon . ‘

‘Old Yeti’s leather . ‘

Her main purchases were rare material items . All her items were identified through Future Sight and there were no errors on the list .

‘I need these items to make a giant soldier . ‘

Some incarnations participated in the bidding competition but she already confirmed their highest bid price through Future Sight and there was no problem winning the items . Anna Croft finished checking the list and stood up on the spot . “It is roughly over . Then let’s . . . “

[Now, we have a special product today!]

Anna Croft turned at the voice that came from the stage . Selena Kim saw Anna Croft’s reaction and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing . “

Anna Croft stared at the auction house with a stiff expression .

[This is an item called the ‘Old to New Toad’!]

[Haha, isn’t it cute? Since this item is a star relic . . . ]

-I’ll give a new house for an hour house . [It really knows how to talk .

The auction product hasn’t finished the appraisal yet but it is definitely of immense value―]

‘ . . . There was no such item in the prophecy?’

The auction list had been confirmed through Future Sight . However, no such item had been seen anywhere in the short film of the future . There was the intervention of a variable that shook Future Sight . Anna Croft glanced at the constellations of Olympus . Some constellations nodded as if to reassure her .

She didn’t hesitate to case the Great Demon’s Eye towards the stage . The eye glowed with a red light . After a few moments, the hidden features of the Old to New Toad were seen in Anna Croft’s retinas . “I have to buy that . “

“Anna?”

[The first auction price is 500,000 coins!]

The moment the dokkaebi spoke, Anna Croft immediately made a bid .

“600,000 coins . “

[600,000 coins have come out! The bidder . . . Incarnation Anna Croft!]

It was a larger amount than she thought but the Old to New Toad was worth it .

+

This item has a legendary story The item eats ‘old items’ and replaces them with ‘new items’ of the same rating .

+

The feature itself was simple . Eat old items and spitting out other items of the same rating . The words were simply but the application was infinite .

“Contact the nebula and collect as many coins as possible . “

“Why this item . . . “

“With this, we can get the items we want at any time . “

The other constellations and incarnation didn’t seem to know the usage of this toad yet . Thus, she had a chance to win the bid right now .

[The highest bid is currently 600,000 coins! If there isn’t any more . . . ]

At this moment .

“700,000 coins . “

Someone made a bid .

[Ohh! 700,000 coins have come out!]

There was a light from the other side of the audience that showed a bid . A demon sword that absorbed the sunlight .

Anna Croft’s expression hardened .

[The bidder is Incarnation Yoo Jonghyuk!]

***

Yoo Jonghyuk emerging after Anna Croft caused a small turmoil in the auction house . Both of them were famous incarnations of Earth .

“Anna, if things go wrong . . . “

“This is fun . I never thought the Supreme King would be here . “

Anna Croft was laughing . She raised her hand and cried out, “800,000 coins!”

[Incarnation Anna Croft has bid 800,000 coins!]

“900,000 coins . “

[900,000 coins! 900,000 coins have come out!]

Yoo Jonghyuk didn’t give up . It was an auction war they had to stick to . The atmosphere of the auction house started to heat up after the amount exceeded one million coins . It was a climb that could cause a price bubble but Anna Croft was relaxed .

‘You can’t beat me . ‘

Dizziness occurred along with a short headache . A part of the future emerged in Anna Croft’s retinas . She used Future Sight and succeeded in reading the maximum amount Yoo Jonghyuk could pay .

“1,280,000 coins . “

[Incarnation Anna Croft has bid1,280,000 coins!]

Yoo Jonghyuk was silent at Anna Croft’s bid . It was as expected .

[Now, if there are no further bids . . . ]

Anna Croft smiled . 1,280,000 coins was a huge amount but it was hard to see it as a loss . The Old to New Toad was a worthy item and if she obtained it . . .

“2 million coins!”

The voice of a woman was heard from right above her and Anna Croft’s body whipped around . She wasn’t the only one who was shocked .

[D-Did she say two million coins? Suddenly such an amount . . . ]

“It is the emergence of Han Sooyoung, a newly rich person . “

[Who . . . ]

“Don’t you know? Black Flames Demon Ruler Han Sooyoung, the leader of the Han Sooyoung Corporation and the real power of Kim Dokja’s Company . “

Lee Hyunsung, sitting beside Han Sooyoung, asked with surprise, “Sooyoung-ssi, is that true? Since when . . . “

Anna Croft stared at Han Sooyoung with wide eyes . The Black Flames Demon Ruler of the Korean Peninsula . It was a name Anna Croft knew well . “What trick is this, Black Flames Demon Ruler?”

“I just want that toad . “

Anna Croft once again used Future Sight . It might be a short-term prediction but using Future Sight so many times in one day placed a huge burden on her body . Still, it couldn’t be helped . This had already become a showdown of pride .

The maximum amount of money that Han Sooyoung would pay appeared before Anna Croft’s eyes . How long had it been? Anna Croft wiped the nosebleed that occurred from her overloaded body and opened her mouth .

” . . . I bid 3 million coins . “

“Anna!” The startled Selena Kim shouted .

However, Anna Croft was adamant . “I must buy it . “

Anna Croft’s Future Sight showed that Han Sooyoung’s amount of money was 2,999,999 coins .

[3 million coins has come out!]

The dokkaebi was dancing with joy . Large cheers filled the venue .

[As expected of the prophet!]

[I heard she was shrewd and cunning but she was a big person!]

The audience was wowed but Anna Croft wasn’t the least bit excited .

“Anna, 3 million coins is unreasonable . This is too much damage!”

“I can get a dokkaebi loan . “

“Going so far . . . “

“It is a loss but in some senses, it isn’t a loss . I can’t concede it to them and that is enough to make it not a loss . “

“What . . . “

“The fact that they made such a large follow up bid shows they are desperate for this item . “

Anna Croft glanced at Han Sooyoung and Kim Dokja’s Company . The fact that they had come here showed they were likely to participate in Gigantomachia . If they were going to meet one day, she needed to break them now .

In fact, Han Sooyoung was raising both hands like she lost . “This . . . I can’t afford it . We lost . Completely and 100% lost . “

” . . . “

“This is why the world is unfair . We can win against a golden incarnation . “

. . . Something was weird . Anna Croft clearly won the bid but why did they look like they were enjoying it?

[Those who have won the items, please come down to the stage . ]

Anna Croft turned to the stage at the dokkaebi’s call . The feeling of discomfort still hadn’t disappeared . She viewed the faces of Han Sooyoung and the expressionless Yoo Jonghyuk . She wanted to use Future Sight but she had already reached the limit for today .

‘Wait, don’t tell me?’

Anna Croft stood in front of the auctioneer and reflexively asked, “This product, who is the contributor?”

[That . . . Kim Dokja’s Company . ]

“I won’t buy it . “

[Huh?]

The dokkaebi looked surprised .

[We can’t refund products that have already been sold . If you do not pay the amount―]

“This is obviously a scam . Thus, I won’t buy it . “

[A scam?]

Anna Croft pointed at Kim Dokja’s group . “They induced an artificial price competition . They had no intention of buying this item in the first place . ”

Han Sooyoung clicked her tongue at Anna Croft’s claim . “What are you saying? I really wanted to buy it . “

“Even if you wanted to buy it, this auction is invalid . They are the contributors of this product . Isn’t it forbidden for contributors to participate in the auction?”

In the end, Han Sooyoung and Yoo Jonghyuk glanced at each other . The senior dokkaebi spoke [That . . . it is correct . It is certainly forbidden for contributors to participate in the auctions of their own products . ]

Anna Croft nodded like she knew it . “Please check the contributor . The contributor will surely be one of them . “

[Okay . Please wait a moment . ]

The members of Kim Dokja’s Company were making troubled expressions . On the other hand, Anna Croft’s expression was filled with relief and triumph .

It was a pretty good trap . She was the prophet yet she almost got hit . By the way, the dokkaebi checking the contributor cocked his head .

[Strange . None of them are the contributor . ]

“Huh?”

Han Sooyoung laughed . “Didn’t I tell you? Ah~ I really wanted that toad . . . “

“Then the contributor is . . . “

At this moment, the door of the auction house opened wide . A dazzling light entered from outside the auction house and the white coat was shaken by the wind .

The man in the white coat walked passed Han Sooyoung and Yoo Jonghyuk . The man who came up to the stage was someone Anna Croft knew well . The man smiled and held out his hand like he was asking for a handshake .

“3 million coins . “

It was Kim Dokja .
