Chapter 510: Empty Star Auction
The Empty Star Square was even more crowded than the previous day. This was no longer just an announcement of the auction items; today was the actual auction, and due to the number of people wanting to attend, the square had been chosen as the official venue!
A packed crowd spread all over the square and into the surrounding streets. The C-Grades and above could no longer fit, so they’d climbed onto the rooftops. B-Grades were standing in the air. As for the two A-Grades present, Elder Puerto and Elder Crownbeast, they hovered even higher than the B-Grades, occupying a height no one dared to infringe upon.
The floating mouth of yesterday, the official auctioneer of the Empty Star faction, floated over a raised platform. Every eye was glued on it. A long row of boxes waited at the back of the platform.
The auction…was beginning!
“Welcome, everyone, to the Empty Star Auction!” the mouth declared, its voice magically booming across the entire city. Cheers rose in response. Some monsters growled. The mouth waited for the crowd to calm down before continuing. “It is our honor to have all of you in attendance. Many prestigious monsters have graced us with their presence today, especially Elder Puerto of the Great Silver faction and Elder Crownbeast of the Fiend King faction. Please enjoy our hospitality!”
More cheers from the crowd. Elder Puerto waved at them, while Crownbeast remained stationary, dark, and gloomy. He hadn’t forgotten yesterday’s humiliation, and neither had the crowd.
Jack, who stood alongside Brock and Starhair amongst the other B-Grades, rubbed the back of his head. “Think he holds a grudge?” he asked Brock.
“Absolutely, bro.”
“Good.”
