Chapter Thirty-Nine: Struggle for Supremacy

  "Who the hell has time to bully these good-for-nothings..." Grian's eyes widened, and several mages who were afraid of getting involved hastily retreated. Only then did they hear the fat old man continue: "When you first came to the Magic Guild, wasn't I negotiating with the Shadow City people? At that time, we were discussing control over the Demon Slaying Valley, I reckon you remembered it from back then..."

  "Oh! Right, right, right...... I remember now! That place, is it part of our Magic Guild?"

  A "we're a magical guild" from Greran greatly lifted his spirits, indicating that Lin Li had gradually begun to consider himself a member of the guild. This was an absolutely good phenomenon in Greran's opinion, and he believed that as long as he put in a bit more effort, he would definitely be able to get the guild leader's hat on this kid's head.

  "That's right!" With a refreshed mood, Grian answered the question with more patience: "The reason why the Magic Guild is still the number one force in Galos today is because we have control over the Demon Slaying Valley. That place has three rare mineral veins, all sorts of herbs growing everywhere, and most importantly, it's rich in high-grade magic crystals. After I sell off the Olfactory potions, I'll take you there to see for yourself."

  As the two were talking, three more bottles of Orafu medicine were traded, with the lowest price being over 30,000 and the highest reaching as much as 60,000 gold coins.

  "Starting from this auction, the quantity of Ofa medicine will be increased to three bottles." Kevin's hammer fell heavily on the table: "The starting price is 50,000, with a minimum increase of 5,000 each time. The bidding begins!"

  "50,000 gold coins!"

  "Seven hundred thousand gold coins!"

  "Eighty thousand gold coins!"

  "One hundred thousand gold coins!"

  Kevin's hammer had just fallen, and the bidding voices were already rising one after another, with prices getting higher and higher. In the blink of an eye, three bottles of Aofa medicine were raised to a high price of 100,000.

  "Look, the Luo Lin family has made their move. The previous ones were just small tricks, but now it's the real deal. Watch this, if these three bottles sell for less than 200,000, I'll twist my own head off!" Ge Rui An laughed smugly on the side.

  "1.2 million!"

  "1.4 million!"

  The head of the Luo Lin family has completely turned red-eyed, and his competitor is a beautiful young woman who looks like she's in her thirties. She's as beautiful as a flower, with a plump figure and a sweet, soft voice. Her every move is full of charm, probably only someone like Ge Rui An would be able to recognize that this beautiful young woman is actually Kedafuni, the leader of Dark Moon, one of the six major underground forces in Gallos, who controls all the thieves in Gallos.

  "Hey Lin Li, do you remember what that woman looks like? If one day your wallet goes missing on the street, look for her and it's sure to be right. But whatever you do, don't get it wrong, she's a thief ringleader, not a madam."

  “……”

  Anthony's nose was about to bleed from anger, he never thought that the several big families he was worried about didn't make a move, but instead provoked this crazy woman. What he didn't expect even more was that this crazy woman was so ruthless, she had already raised the price to 140,000 and still wouldn't let go, if it continued like this, he was afraid he really couldn't hold on anymore.

  One hundred and forty thousand gold coins had already exceeded the bottom line of the Roline family, but Anthony Roline still had to hold on tightly.

  These three vials of orfare are his best chance now, with the likes of the Merlyn family, Mannis family and Saruman family not having made a move yet. Once they do, there will be nothing left for the Rolen family.

  Moreover, Anthony Rolen really needed these three bottles of aura medicine. His three sons were all over 16 years old, but they were still only fourth-level magic apprentices, just one step away from level five, yet that one step was somehow impossible to take.

  Which parents in the world don't hope their children will grow up to be accomplished?

  So when he heard that the Magic Guild was about to auction off the Ofar potions, he was overjoyed and immediately raised a large sum of money, even going so far as to sell several lucrative properties at low prices, all in order for his three sons to become magicians smoothly. But the Rorin family is not the Merlin family, and the funds that Anthony Rorin can mobilize are only around two million, if this crazy woman continues to push forward, Anthony Rorin really can't imagine...

  But that's how things often work in this world - the more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to occur.

  Just as he was turning this idea over in his head, Daphne bid again: "Two hundred thousand gold coins!"

  When he heard this number, Anthony-Rollin suddenly felt a blackout in front of his eyes...

  At this moment, Anthony Rowling even thought of pouncing on and strangling this madwoman to death.

  But that's just thinking, and not to mention that the strength of this crazy woman is no worse than his own, even if he rushes up, it's likely that he won't be able to strangle her to death. Just disrupting the auction alone would probably be enough to make him suffer, this isn't the former Jade Tower, nowadays the Magic Association is at its peak, even the Merlin family doesn't dare to confront them head-on, directly provoking the Magic Association is simply no different from seeking death, with that old guy Gryaan's personality, he'll probably be blasted down by a fireball before he can even rush up to that crazy woman.

  Anthony Rowlin hesitated for a long time before finally putting one hand into his breast pocket.

  "Two hundred thousand for the first time!"

  "Two hundred thousand for the second time!"

  "Two hundred thousand third..."

  Just as Kevin was about to strike for the third time, Anthony Rollin suddenly stepped out of the crowd: "Wait a minute, Kevin the magician!"

  "What can I do for you, Mr. Anthony?" Kevin's heart skipped a beat, but he managed to squeeze out a few notes of concern: "Do you have any questions about the auction process?"

  "No, no, no, I absolutely didn't mean that..." Anthony-Rollin waved his hands repeatedly. This wasn't a joke; questioning the auction was equivalent to questioning Grian's character, which was equivalent to provoking the Magic Association. Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare provoke the Magic Association in its heyday.

  "Earlier, I recall Mr. Gelein saying that if there's not enough cash, it's allowed to substitute with items of equivalent value. Now, I'd like to ask Mr. Gelein to appraise this item and determine how many gold coins it's worth."
