Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 306 - 301: The First Finale Item (5K)    1

Gazing at the increasingly heated atmosphere in the venue.

Leo Ray lightly swirled the high-stemmed glass in his hand, the rose-colored liquid inside rippling gently.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, a discreet smirk of satisfaction appearing on his face.

It was quite an unexpected surprise that a magic medicine he casually brought out could cause such an intense bidding war.

As he took in the sweet fragrance wafting from the glass, Leo Ray’s gaze unintentionally fell on Scarlett nearby.

Seeing her also looking very excited.

Her anticipation seemed even stronger than the rest of the guests at the adjoining tables.

Just as Leo Ray wondered in astonishment if Scarlett had finally caught on and was ready to execute her own bidding plan, he noticed that her eyes were fixated on a ceremonial attendant nearby, holding a tray.

And on that tray were none other than the red velvet cake and pineapple bun she had been craving.

With a helpless glance, just as Leo Ray pondered how many “chestnuts” to reward Scarlett with later, Baron Poli, standing on the auction stage, elegantly smiled at the nobles below before continuing, “In addition, I have some exciting news I can’t wait to share with you all.”

“This time there is more than one Wind Eye Pill available, but still in limited quantity, so seize this opportunity, as the one you bid on might be the last.”

As Baron Poli spoke, a cunning glint flashed through his eyes, but he didn’t disclose the exact number of pills provided by Leo Ray.

Yet he managed to ratchet up the tension and competitiveness among everyone present, showcasing his true professionalism.

Quickly following, Baron Poli stroked his curled mustache before announcing, “Alright, without further ado, the starting bid for each Wind Eye Pill is 11,000 gold dragons, with increments of 500 gold dragons. Please begin bidding.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than the ringing of bells around Leo Ray intensified.

The atmosphere had reached its peak since the start of the auction.

Of course, during this process, Leo Ray and Mason Banks, not far away, joined the bidding nobles as planned.

About seven or eight minutes later, the clear sound of ringing bells gradually began to quiet.

At this point, Leo Ray glanced around to find that the only ones still ringing the bell were his table, Mason Banks’ table, and the fat aristocrat.

The price had also soared to a staggering 33,000 gold dragons.

Seeing that the price was about right, Leo Ray gave a slight nod to Mason Banks, signaling him to stop bidding.

Next, he continued to raise the price while discreetly observing the expression of the fat aristocrat.

Now, Leo Ray was fully aware.

The higher the final price, the greater the benefit he would gain.

With 59 auction items behind him, even if he only raised the price of each piece by 10,000 gold dragons, he could still make an extra 600,000 gold dragons in total.

Moreover, the final price of the first Wind Eye Pill would greatly influence the prices of the next nine pills.

Therefore, this first shot must be as loud and impactful as possible.

On the other side, the fat aristocrat was now determined to compete with Leo Ray until the bitter end, a disdainful expression apparent on his plump face.

“Not bad, keep it going. This Wind Eye Pill will finally belong to you.”

As Leo Ray took note of the fat aristocrat’s determined expression, he silently praised him inwardly and continued to press the bell on the table without any outward reaction.

Soon enough, only Leo Ray and the aristocrat were left in the competition, with the price reaching 39,000 gold dragons.

At this point, despite the aristocrat’s plump face dripping with sweat, he remained unyielding and very keen. As soon as Leo Ray’s bell rang, he immediately pressed his own, glowering at Leo Ray from behind.

“Impressive, looks like he’s getting really worked up now.”

Recognizing this, the ever-dramatic Leo Ray feigned “embarrassment” on his face, even occasionally glancing back.

On the other hand, the fat aristocrat, keenly observing the change in Leo Ray’s expression, fought even harder, pressing the bell twice in a row at one point.

Thus, after an intense back-and-forth between the two, the price finally reached 50,000 gold dragons.

Leo Ray eventually relented, and the fat aristocrat secured the first Wind Eye Pill triumphantly.

“Not bad at all. According to Orion Wolfe, the alchemist who crafted the Wind Eye Pill, the value of one pill is around 15,000 gold dragons.”

“If the fat aristocrat knew he’d paid three times the price, only to have the money ultimately fall into his competitors pocket, he would probably faint from anger.”

Leo Ray glanced back at the fat aristocrat, his face beaming with the pride of a winner, and couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.

On the other side, noticing Leo Ray’s “unwilling” gaze, the fat aristocrat plumped up his chest in triumph, clearly still reveling in his victory over Leo
