Chapter 206: Chapter 206 - A Great House's Shock
She was 19, right above the legal age. He liked young girls but because he was the house master of a Great House, Some things had to be looked.
Even though he liked those below 18… They had the innocence that he liked to eat up and see their expressions.
Still he couldn't be annoyed, he had the best life.
Money – He had a lot, Wives – Too many beautiful wives that cared too much about his money to think about living him, Friends – Awful but useful, Sons – A Few but worthless, Daughters – Beautiful but dumb, Useful for future marriage proposals.
He had some problems but those were not big enough for him to worry about so he casually took care of the house master's position and slightly took note of the responsibilities.
Today he had come here with one goal and that was to buy the Broken Heaven Sword.
Which would increase his reputation among the other houses and also allow his father who was still alive and holding onto some power to relinquish them to him.
But who knew that something like this would happen today.
"550 Billion Dollars!"
Fraic who was being fed a single piece of grape was annoyed as his attention was semi-diverted towards the noise.
"Which ba*tard of a house made that bid now?"
The young girl in his arms moved the cluster of grapes from his mouth and said, "Why don't I go and see, who it was darling?"
Saying that she turned her body and was about to get off his body but was quickly caught by the waist and was brought even closer to his body.
"No, Stay here, I am still not ravished yet and" Fraic looked at her semi clothed body from chest to waist with a lecherous look as he said, "Will need something more energizing to fulfil that."
The girl faked a shy look and asked, "B- But Darling, We shouldn't do somethi- Something like that here, What if they hear us?"
"Don't worry about that. This rooms are made to be sound proof for out pleasure. So we can do whatever we want and nobody will be able to hear your screams."
The girl genuinely became embarrassed as she hit his chest with little to no strength as she complained, "I on- only do that because you are so rough."
"Oh! But that is where the real fun is." Fraic said with a dark smile before turning his head and saying towards the empty wall.
"Turn on the screen"
Immediately after his words were said, the black and empty wall lit up as the auction hall was shown to the duo.
Friac looked at the screen and tried to look at which house had outbid him. But even after looking for a while he couldn't find any sign of beeping on the houses or anything that would say that one of them was the bidder.
He said in frustration as he looked at the screen, "Where is it? Which house was it that outbid me?"
The girl that was sitting on his lap also looked at the screen with focus and she answered, "I think it's that one."
"Where?" Fraic looked towards where she pointed and saw it was the auction hall.
"Right there, It's that guy." The girl again pointed towards the same direction.
This time Fraic was able to see what it was and saw that it was Adam.
He was about to deny her words, "No, that's not a Great Hous-" But stopped at mid-sentence as he saw the table number being raised up high in the air.
"But I'm sure that it's hi-" She was quickly stopped by the sign of Fraic's Hand. Even though angry at that movement, she didn't say anything as she could clearly see the range of emotions that were going through his face.
Fraic looked at Adam and couldn't think clearly. The guy was clearly sitting at the lower floors so why did he try to outbid him?
Was it clear stupidity?
Or did he accidentally raised his hands?
Fraic took hold of the latter thought as no family was insane enough to meddle into a Great Houses Business. But that thought too was shattered by the next words.
"TABLE 69 FOR 550 BILLION DOLLARS EVERYBODY"
Friac was shocked by the revalation which was quickly replaced by anger as he tried to make sense of this. But no matter what he thought he couldn't find any logic in this.
As he kept on thinking like this, he stopped a moment later as he calmed himself.
'Yeah, It's only a peasant family. This might be their way of showing to other peasants their wealth. This might even be the amount of money they all have.'
'Why worry about some peasant, I am a king. I need not think about this fool.'
'But being the gracious person I am, I will forgive this idiot for this mistake.'
Fraic smiled slightly while having narcissistic thoughts and then pushed the button on the floating chair he was sitting on and said, "600 Billion Dollars"
"Room 14 for 600 Billion Dollars." Fraic saw Nigel speaking those from the screen as he leaned down on the chair and opened his mouth as the girl started feeding him again.
But not even a moment had went before this happened.
"700 Billion Dollars"
"Table 69 for 700 Billion Dollars."
Friac's eyes widened as he shot up from the chair and screamed out loud, "WHAT!"
The girl who was sitting on his lap fell because of his quick motion. She couldn't help clutching her butt in pain and say "Hey! Why did you do that?"
Fraic already angry became even more angrier as he screamed towards her. "Shut up you fcking bich, Before I turn you and your whole family to a group of slaves."
The girl on the floor shivered under the red light that was visible in his eyes and stayed quiet while looking down on the floor as she feared for her life.
Fraic on the other hand was completely furious, he didn't understand why a small family that he couldn't even recognize would outbid him.
For him it was a futile effort which wouldn't bring anything other than misfortune so why do it.
He also thought about how a small family which was unknown could gather so much money but immediately threw it to the back of his head as they might be involved in dirty matters like most were like him.
"720 Billion Dollars"
"Room 5 for 720 Billion Dollars."
This time it was another great house spoke the bid so Nigel even though angry was a little about it.
He wasn't happy that he was outbid, he was happy that now it was a great house that outbid him, Like only a great house should.
"730 Billion Dollars"
"Table 14 for 730 Billion Dollars." Fraic didn't try to flaunt his wealth anymore as it might become a problem for him if he used too much of his finances.
But his happy demeanor was broken again by the next words.
"830 Billion Dollars"
