Chapter 5
Observing as the auction started, Michelle started recognizing voices of the people who were bidding, and she couldn't help but scoff with a cold sneer. She noted the people she recognized and continued observing the auction. It was an illegal auction, so she was waiting for the second part.
At the end of the first half, her indigo grade Revitalization Pill was sold at the price of 4.5 trillion, which made Michelle raise an eyebrow. That was a price even the Archduke and Imperial family together didn't have. That only caused Michelle to think about the possibility of it being someone from a higher ranked place.
As Michelle was studying about the world in the last two days, she found strange cases which were like leads to a place higher in rank, and it intrigued her. Now, this auction only deepened her curiosity. Was an indigo grade Revitalization Pill considered rare even in higher ranked places, or was the person who bought it after the "talent" who made it, a.k.a. herself?
Michelle didn't really have the time to think about it as the auction proceeded to the second part. The first thing brought to the stage was a big scarlet egg with black lines all over it. The egg seemed somehow darkish as Michelle looked at it, and no matter how Mich she tried to resist it, she felt unrest in her heart, telling her to get the egg.
What she didn't know was that her body was reacting that way because her bloodline was attracted to the bloodline of the creature inside the egg.
"This is an egg we have found under a deep cliff where the Archduke's daughter fell. This egg wasn't there when the Archduke's soldiers went to find the Young Lady, but when we went there a day later, we found this egg covered by blood." The alluring auction lady said with a smile. "Our appraiser said that it might contain a mythical being, so the staring price will be 1 million with each bid having to be higher by at least a thousand."
Michelle's eyes were glued to the egg as the auction house remained silent. No one wanted to buy an egg of unknown origins.
As the auction lady was starting to feel awkward, a bidder appeared. "3 million!"
Michelle looked over and saw that it came from the private room where was the person who bought her Revitalization Pill. She frowned a bit, but didn't want to bid, but the unrest in her chest was slowly escalating as she saw the auction lady slowly look at the private room with the bidder.
