Chapter 129: End of the auction.
The Archmage could not bear it anymore and got up from the couch. The three other people inside the booth watched as he went and stood in front of the black glass, staring at Alex’s booth.
"Friend, I apologise for offending you earlier. I would really appreciate it if you allowed me to have it. I have a student who was born with a weak foundation, and his spell power is weaker than that of mages of the same rank. As a fellow senior, I believe you understand the position that I’m in, I really can’t lose this elemental fruit." The Archmage said while clenching his fist.
Alex stayed silent for a while after listening to the man’s words, which was why the other party was persistent in acquiring the elemental fruit.
Since there was no deep hatred between them and the other party had apologised for offending him, Alex decided to let it slide this time.
"Fine, you can have it." He voiced out.
But no one believed him and continued to stare at his booth. Didn’t he say the same thing previously but still continued to bid?
The Archmage had a conflicted look on his face. He had similar thoughts to the others and didn’t believe Alex, but what else could he do?
"5 billion Zen." He made his last bid, hoping that the person in the other VVIP booth wouldn’t interfere anymore. If Alex went back on his word again and continued to bid, he would have no choice but to give up.
After the bid from the Archmage, everyone fell into silence as they waited for Alex’s turn to bid again.
But even after ten seconds, his voice wasn’t heard; he kept his words and left the elemental fruit to the other party!
The Archmage collapsed on his couch with a dispirited look on his face, while Silvia announced the end of that bidding session; it was as if he had aged a few more years all of a sudden.
