Orochimaru got a lot of heat following his blunder from the Ambani corporation. Whereas the name drop on the livestream caused a lot of suspicions and problems for the Ambani corporation themseleves. 

Orochimaru's identitiy as spy was in a threat , however as the spy was not mentioned in the livestream , thankfully he was still of use. But he was walking on eggshells here as everything he would say from now on would be taken with a pinch of salt.

However Rudra understood everything he needed to understand from that one line dropped. He knew Orochimaru was in the Ambani main guild back in his past life , he knew beyond shadow of a doubt who was pulling the strings behind the scenes. 

And boy o boy did he plan to manipulate the opposition into his favour. 

Rudra had raised an incredible amount of money for the coming auction. Leaving over 2 million gold in emergency reserves fund for the guild , and 2 million more for operations which was aldready a bloated number as not even 50 thousand gold were being used on a monthly basis by the guild. Not to mention the non liquid assets like armours and swords and potions. 

Following Ethans injection of 2.5 million gold into the guild and the robbing of Demolitionboys for 1 million more. The Elites had a ridiculous amount of 30 million gold prepared for the auction. With an additional option of platinum , which they held over 20 thousand. 

It was to be noted that 1 platinum = 1000 gold 

Hence the 20 thousand meant another 20 million gold coins , bringing their total wealth to a whopping 50 million gold total. 

Yes the guild was filthy rich , rich beyond reason! 

Ofcourse this was thanx to Karna and his escapade at the Endless Ocean dungeon , without his loot of the 21 million gold and 10 thousand platinum , the guild would still be more on the reasonable side.

However Rudra felt incredibly confident in contesting for items with the amount of gold he carried for this auction. 

The other guilds could only watch in despair this time around . 

The Alliance aldready had the news about the 21 million gold brought in by Karna over the dungeon spoils as Orochimaru disclosed it , it was aldready a matter of despair for them , as 21 million gold was not a sum they could fork out easily. 

However Orochimaru's information was now being scrutinized seriously , adding a margin of error , they estimated the Elites with all their buisnesses to posses 15-25 million gold . 

They decided to have a fund against the Elites of atleast 30 million , to outbid them on critical items. However unity was a big problem in the alliance , as not everyone of the seven members could fork out equal amounts of money. 

The Demolitionboys were useless at this point , as everyone was debating their position within the alliance. However as barely as they were running , they were still scrapping by , hence they were allowed a seat for now. 

The alliance proposed its members to fork 3 million gold , for the 6 remaining members after a lot of infighting , and Demolitionboys sold more fixed assests to fork in 1 million. Through hook and crook they barely raised 19 million gold for the auction. 

It was a farcry from the 30 they hoped for, however they would restrain themselves and only bid for the more important items now!

He had just levelled up , he was 3 levels clear of the next guy at level 45 on the rankings. 

He sighed in relief , then took a look at his precious unnamed sword , a mysterious semi legendary sword he got from doing a quest. 

It was the reason behind his mad quick levlling and off the charts attacks. 

He then remembered that there was an auction coming up , taking a look at his inventory , full of monster parts. He sold everything to the system at 80% the market rate. 

For most players even carrying 100K gold was an astronomical figure , however the amount of gold Neatwit had on himself , far exeeded anyones wildest imaginations at a whopping 6 million! 

Why was he soo rich? Why did he have a semi legendary weapon ? Nobody knew . 

Not a single soul! 

He smiled as he transferred 5 million to Rudra , with a note , buy something good like bombs to make me help level faster! 

Rudra was shocked at seeing the incredible amount of money that neatwit sent , this was the amount many first rate guilds had combined. 

With Neatwits last minute addition and only 3 minutes till the auctions start , there was a total budget of 55 million gold that Rudra walked into the auction with!
