Chapter 820 Lots of Money
Although Gerald still had a lot of money, it was obviously not enough to buy the weapons he wanted. So he figured he would have to buy Valery and the others better weapons only after the next mission was accomplished.
After all, weapons like Nebula were mostly worth more than millions of golorbs.
They were useful for Flame Decay like Gerald and Valery and would save lots of trouble. But Gerald still did not have enough money.
The items on the fourth floor were all treasures and quite expensive. There was even some peculiar perfume that was deeply liked by women.
However, Valery and Carolyn did not have much of an interest in that sort of thing. The two of them barely wore any makeup and were already beautiful.
As for the entrance ticket for the auction, it was very expensive. Around 50 thousand golorbs.
And the auction place was big enough to accommodate a thousand people.
When Gerald and the others arrived, there were not many tickets left.
Many people knew that they were unable to win the bid of the Thunder Saber. It would definitely be a great battle among rich families.
However, everyone was still dying to see such a legendary weapon.
Just as Gerald was about to enter, his phone suddenly rang. At the same time, an Al voice sounded. “Lexie calling.”
“Pick up,” Gerald said calmly.
It was the first time Gerald had made a call after receiving the phone.
Soon, the call was connected.
On the other side of the phone, Lexie said, “Gerald, what are you doing?”
“I am hanging around in the black market. What’s wrong? Is there anything?” Gerald asked.
“Are you in the black market? Did you also go to the auction for the Thunder Saber?” Lexie asked in surprise.
“I can’t afford it, though. I just came to buy other things,” Gerald shook his head and said.
“Well, then you have to be careful. The news of the Thunder Saber auction has spread throughout the entire Solein Kingdom. Many people from the Solein Kingdom have rushed over. Today, the black market is full of experts. Even the Four Ancient Families have gathered a lot of their people with their Flarne Decay,” Lexie said.
Gerald frowned. If that was really the case, they were indeed in danger. His biggest concern was Hector. The Flame Decay from the Four Ancient Families would definitely recognize Hector.
“We will pay attention to that,” Gerald said as he exhaled slowly.
“Also, the main reason why I contacted you is that I want to ask for your help. Lexie seemed a little embarrassed.
“Just say what you want!” Gerald replied.
“I have a friend called Benson Pierce from Rime City. He is sort of my senior, and he comes from the Pierce family. This time, he also participated in the auction,” Lexie said.
Gerald’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the person just now was Lexie’s friend?
However, he immediately understood. Lexie and Laylah were both from Rime City. And the Sadler family was also famous in Rime City. The Pierce family was the same. It was normal for Lexie to know Benson.
Lexie continued, “Before he came, he knew that I was around. So he asked me if I knew someone at the level of Flame Decay. He wanted to find himself some guards.
“Guards”” Gerald frowned.
Gerald nodded. “Okay, I agree. When and where are we going to gather? Also, I have others with me. Two of them are at the level of Flame Decay, and four are at the level of peak Half-Step Flame Decay.
Lexie fell silent and then said, “You still have so many experts with you?”
Gerald nodded and said, “Yes. Is it too many people?”
Lexie replied, “Not at all. I’ll send you an address later. After the auction is over, come over here and gather with us. If there are no accidents, we will be leaving this afternoon or tonight.”
Gerald nodded. “No problem!”
After hanging up the phone, Gerald briefly explained the situation to his fellows.
After listening, they all agreed.
Everyone was shocked to find out that they truly lack money.
As they talked, they walked into the auction house. Because they bought the tickets too late, their seats were at the back. In total, six of them sat in the back row.
The light in the entire auction house was very weak. Other than some brave people, most attendees were wearing disguises, so no one could recognize each other.
What shocked Gerald was that there were indeed many experts in the auction house. Gerald had already. sensed dozens of experts at the level of Flame Decay.
Hector sat with his eyes fixed on the front row. An elder was sitting there.
“Does he have a grudge against you?” Gerald leaned over and asked.
“That’s Arvin from the Ingram family!” Hector’s tone was fierce.
