When Did I Become An Artifact Dealer?! -
Chapter 124 - 125: Lady Death
Chapter 124: Chapter 125: Lady Death
Cail wasn’t blinded, but his eyes were bleeding. He could feel his sight slipping away. Based on the description, with every penalty, his eyes would deteriorate. It isn’t permanent, but it would take a year for his eyesight to heal.
"At least for now, it just targets one eye." Cail laughed. The usual trade should be an emotion, not an object, but Cail disobeyed that rule. It’s good, though; despite the punishment, the trade was still accepted.
He looked to his side and saw the man he had tied up. He was the original owner of this box. The reason why it was easy for him to pull this off was because of his null ability, and the owner of this box knew Saeb.
He sat down and continued to watch the show.
...
The clown didn’t care what was happening inside that box. He was basically over the clouds now because of the artifact. Because the auction house and the clown could use the artifact — but there is a limit to how many days per month — it was already a good opportunity. A rare artifact like that is priceless.
Jumping up and down, the clown looked very cheerful and pleased, but the audience was not. They felt their heads buzzing. Some even tried to leave but were dragged back by the Clashers before they could take even three steps forward from their box.
They realized, while they were distracted by what was happening, many Clashers were already surrounding the entire pavilion. With no way to escape, voices of indignation started spreading.
"What are you doing?!"
"This is against the deal!"
"How can you guys treat us like this?!"
They finally realized that they weren’t only targeting the chairman, but every powerhouse was on their list. Detaining the people basically meant going against their representatives.
"SILENCE!" The clown smashed down the hammer. "All of you, sit!"
Actually, the situation is not that desperate yet. The powerhouses could still leave the pavilion. No matter how strong the pavilion is, there are multiple powerhouses inside. As for now, the powerhouses are a bit curious as to what the auction house was up to, or if they would dare cross them just like the clown did with the chairman.
The facts prove that they indeed dare to do it.
Seeing that everyone was back in their seats, the clown continued, "The first item is gone! Now let’s cut the wait and move on to the next ’special’ item!"
Unlike previously, when there was trivia before the first item was presented, this time the clown directly ordered for the item to be dragged to the stage.
"Our next item is the Blood of Rose." After introducing the item, the clown looked at the audience. He was satisfied with their reaction.
Again, there was silence. This was much worse than the pearl fairy, because although it was of the same race as the chairman, it’s really not that closely related to them.
The Blood of Rose is different. Lady Death will probably go crazy the moment she sees them bring it in.
Sure enough, Lady Death’s box opened. "LOWLY IMBECILE! DO YOU WANT TO DIE?!" Her voice was filled with rage. Inside the box, she crushed the head of one of her followers to appease her anger.
The Blood of Rose is not just some special kind of blood. It was the blood of her deceased sister, Rose.
The cause of her death is very sensitive. Her ability is regeneration. Unlike others, her blood could cure any ailments or injuries. Just like her sister, Lady Death, she was beautiful and had a lot of potential.
Sadly, her life was cut short. She went missing when Lady Death was 21. She was the youngest, and Lady Death doted on her the most.
When they found her, she was no longer human — not in the sense that she turned into a monster, but because she had already been turned into medicine. Her skin, flesh, blood, organs, and bone were used. Not a single bit of her remained. Not even a strand of hair. They really drained her completely.
They found her clothes, which show signs of assault. She was probably sexually assaulted before her death. Further investigation also revealed that it was her lover who had betrayed her. Since then, Lady Death hated everyone — more specifically, men. She hadn’t been called Lady Death back then — not until she started her massacre.
Even if there were medicines made from Rose circulating in the market, no one would dare buy them. Now, the blood of her sister appeared at the auction; Lady Death was finished.
"THIS AUCTION HOUSE REALLY DARES DO THIS TO ME?" Her voice fumed, "Do you really think I won’t do anything?!"
The clown remained unfazed by her outburst. He proved the authenticity of the blood with a machine and then turned toward Lady Death’s box.
"The owner of this blood has something to say. The owner knows who killed your sister. And if you dare mess up this auction, that information will disappear."
Lady Death trembled. She wanted to kill the clown, but she also wanted information about the organization that had killed her sister. That organization was very secretive. It had been many years, but Lady Death still had no lead. Of course, they were powerful, because even when Lady Death hadn’t been in this position, their parents already ruled their country. The fact that they would dare to do this made it obvious that they were confident.
"So I just sit here and watch them desecrate my sister’s remains?" Lady Death had never been insulted like this before. Because she was called Lady Death, such powerless things had never happened to her.
"If anyone dares buy my sister’s blood, I’ll kill them!" A murderous glint flashed in her eyes.
The people in her box were breathing softly. They were afraid that Lady Death would grab them to ease her stress. She had always been this way — a sadistic master.
Will someone buy the blood? Of course. There are plenty of people who hate Lady Death; some of them are even powerhouses.
