Divine Emperor Of Death Chapter 241

After that, there were even more batches of women and even men although they were in the minority.
But this time, the audience was quite happy since VIP room 20 went silent after that.
Davis could understand their resentment but he had no idea why the person in VIP room 20 stopped bidding.
Davis had considered saving them too but after he did that where was he supposed to leave them?
Their cultivations were low and their mentality was in an all-time low, making them vulnerable to any sweet talk, even from a suspicious person.
Even if he had freed them into the city, they would still get hoodwinked into something else without any background to protect them.
And he can't make take care of them or was he supposed to create an orphanage and a nursery to protect them?
When he thought all of this, he wryly smiled, sneering at his hypocrisy, 'In the end, I'm searching for all the reasons to not save them...'
If he had truly wanted to save them like a hero, he would've just done it without thinking about the consequences and stuff.
'Anyway, I already know that I'm not a hero, nor a powerhouse. I should just concentrate on becoming a powerhouse first before trying to save other people...'
But the fact that the twenty women sold for 70,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones didn't come off as a surprise to him.
Even Kara Moonridge, a princess of a fallen kingdom only managed to garner around 50,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones, a price comparable to a High-Level Sky Grade Armament.
It was only when the fact that she had a unique physique was revealed did her bidding value increase to a ridiculous amount that it could even be compared to Peak-Level Sky Grade Armament even though she only had a Mid-Level Earth Grade Physique.

A person should keep in mind that the cost of a Peak-Level Sky Grade Merchandise would be from 100,000 Low-Level Spirit Stone to 1,000,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones, depending upon the uniqueness, but that was also just an estimate.
However, from this, one could see the rarity and the value of a person's physique.
If she had a Sky Grade Physique, her price would have reached crazy limits!
But in the off-chance, if she had a King Grade Physique, then the major powers would have openly fought for her hand, even treating her with the utmost respect! Nobody would even dare to touch her or sell her off in the first place!
The auction proceeded for around half a day while introducing various items.
The auctioneer who had his eyes glowing, opened his mouth, "The next merchandise we received is a very important item that is related to one's health. Normally, this kind of item will be sold openly but as the item's background is dubious, we have decided to auction it here!"
The auctioneer removed the red cloth, presenting a pill on top of a pillbox. It glowed with crimson color, giving off a strong aura of vitality.
"This is a High-Level Sky Grade Pill, the Crimson Vitality Pill. It is a healing pill that is capable of healing Mid-Level Fifth Stage Experts from a severely injured state!"
"Although its effects are on only par with a Low-Level Sky Grade Pill, its energy is incredibly gentle that even mortals could consume it. Although they wouldn't gain any cultivation, their lifespan will increase by a hundred years, which makes it even more valuable. Plus, it is incredibly useful for treating hidden injuries in our bodies which doubles the value..."
"The starting price will be set at 150,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"

Davis's eyes finally lit up! This pill just might be incredibly useful to him or rather Evelynn to be precise!
...He wasn't going to miss this chance to buy one for her! Of course, it was to regenerate her hand which had been severed. If she couldn't reach the Body Transformation Stage, then this pill would instantly heal her back to full health.
As the bids increased, he quietly waited till there were only two of them left fighting for it.
"VIP room 33 bids 235,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"
"VIP room 05 bids 236,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"
"VIP room 33 bids 237,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"
"VIP room 05 bids 250,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"
The increase of 13,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones left the other person considering whether to bid or not.
Actually, the price had already exceeded its true value, so only who truly needed this was continuing to bid.
Now seeing that there were no more bids, the auctioneer started to count, "Going once!"
"Going twice!"
*Ding!*
Davis who was waiting for the bids to stop finally bid an amount.
"VIP room 17 bids 270,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!" The auctioneer was gladdened and noticed that this person from VIP room 17 had never bid for a single item before.
The auctioneer waited for a few seconds again, the uttered, "Going once!"
"Going twice! ...Going thrice!! Congratulations to the person in VIP room 17 for obtaining the Crimson Vitality Pill!"
Davis nodded satisfactorily, 'I knew it! No one would be willing to bid no more than that for a pill of this level...'
Feeling happy, he glanced at the woman who curled herself up in the corner.
The woman upon noticing his gaze quickly hid her head into her knees.
His eyes twitched and the complacent feeling before totally disappeared and was replaced with bitterness.
Having a gloomy person in the room didn't sit well with him as he got used to Ellia's cheerfulness, Lucas's and Lucia's drivel before.
He had ignored her all this time but he realized that it cannot continue this way.
"Get up!" Davis spoke indifferently.
His voice resounded in her ears causing her to quickly stand up with attention.
Her eyes shone with determination while her small fists were tightly clenched although one could see clearly that those small fists were entirely trembling.
"Serve me that drink over there..." Davis pointed at the showcase where there were tons of drinks displayed.

Every sailor knows the tale of Davy Jones' Locker. That place drowned sailors are sent to, ever resting on sea's bed. Some tales recount of a ghostly ship, the Flying Dutchman. Many a story has spawned from these two tales. Countless retellings mixing in their own fictions. But all stories spawn with a kernel of truth to them, and the story of Davy Jones is no exception. Those who've met the legendary seaman and his ghostly ship might call him a ferryman, escorting the drowned to their respective afterlives. Others might call him a devil, meting punishment on those deserving. The true story is always slightly different. Davy Jones is a ferryman, but not one for the afterlife, as Walter finds out. No, Davy Jones manages those who die at sea while in debt, and Walter died with a lot of debt. Unable to pay, Davy puts Walter to work. The specter has just the job for the dead college graduate.
