System: Replicating The Heavens - Chapter 344 Ch 344: Fierce Battle Of Wealth

“100 Million Top Grade Celestial Stones.”

As Alex called out his bid, the auction house fell into deep silence. No one dared to make a single noise.

And then…

A shocking commotion broke out between people.

“Who is he? He actually raised the bid by more than 40 million Top Grade Celestial Stones at once.”

“I think I saw Lady Serena entering room no. 3 with Olav Lightfoot and another person.”

“To be able to accompany Lady Serena, that person must not be a nobody. he must be an outstanding individual.”

“Yes. Not to mention, he actually bid 100 million celestial stones for these five crystals. He is a freaking rich person as well.”

While the people were discussing about Alex with interest, in Room No. 7, Shakeer’s face turned ugly. He did not expect another opponent to pop out of nowhere.

In Room No. 5, Pratham took a deep look at Room No. 3. He was also surprised by the price Alex called out. At the same time, he also started taking interest in Alex.

On the other hand, in Room No. 1, the moment Asna heard Alex’s voice, as if a clap of thunder struck her body. She was startled, her body shook heavily and immediately stood up.

“Alex!”

The man she had always dreamed about in the past few years, did he finally appear?

But… If Alex is really here, why didn’t he come to meet her?

Could it be that Alex did come to the Heavenly Ice Palace to meet her, however, no one believed his words and did not let Alex enter the Heavenly Ice Palace.

Anyway, Alex is finally here.

She was sure that voice belonged to Alex. She could never misunderstand Alex’s voice. It has to be him.

The more she thought, the more excited she became. In the end, she could not control her emotions and immediately wanted to go and meet Alex, however, she was stopped by an old lady who spoke: “Young Lady, where are you going? Don’t forget Palace Lord’s order, we must obtain these Source Crystals no matter the price we have to pay. We have to win the bid for these Source Crystals, then you could go anywhere you like.”

“But…” Asna took a deep breath and finally nodded her head. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and thought that she could wait for the auction to end. And then, she will meet Alex and bring him to the Heavenly Ice Palace with him.

When she thought of this, a sweet smile bloomed on her face that has several emotions such as yearning, hope, sadness, excitement, and more mixed in.

Anyway, she came here with a mission that her grandpa gave her. Although Alex was also bidding for these Source Crystals and if it is on her, she could easily give up on these crystals for Alex. However, these crystals are something that her grandpa wants. She could not help but feel helpless and continue the bid.

“101 million Top Grade Celestial Stones!”

Pratham also had no intention of backing down. He also continued: “102 million Top Grade Celestial Stones.”

Shakeer gritted his teeth. Although he had the same status as Asna and Pratham, he did not bring enough Celestial Stones with him. It is mainly because he never thought there will appear an item that will cost as high as 100+ million Top Grade Celestial Stones. This was an unimaginable wealth even for people like Ceres, Roald, and Kautus.

Shakeer only brought 120 million Top Grade Celestial Stones with him. To show his tough intention, and at the same time, hoping to make everyone give up, he put all his money in the next bid.

“120 million Top Grade Celestial Stones!”

When Shakeer bid out his numbers, the crowd was shocked to the extreme once again. They could not believe that the price of something like these red crystals would go as high as 120 million celestial stones. This was unimaginable. They simply could not understand what is so special about these five red crystals to make the people from the three overlord forces as well as an unknown man like Alex to fight this fiercely.

“150 million!”

Alex had more than a billion Top Grade Celestial Stones in his possessions now. Most of this money came from replicating from the people of the auction house, and the rest of them came from the people present in the auction house. He did not have to worry about money at all.

Once again, he increased the bid by 30 million.

The people witnessing everything were now almost used to the shocks. They already have a few words for these people bidding for Red Source Crystals.

Spendthrift!

Prodigal people!

A furious expression appeared on Shakeer’s face. At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to rip apart Alex’s mouth. However, he was helpless. This was an auction house, and the higher bidder would win. He could not take any sort of violent action against anyone inside the auction house.

Suppressing his anger, Shakeer looked at the people beside him and spoke: “Go and investigate that person properly. I want to know everything about him!”

On the other hand, Asna also took a deep look at Alex’s room. She has no idea how Alex come to possess such great wealth that he did not hesitate to call out such a high number of Top Grade Celestial Stones.

Also… Does he really know what these Red Source Crystals are? Or could it be that he was bidding for these crystals only because he saw people from three overlord forces bid?

Also, what is Alex’s current cultivation base?

Although her mother and grandpa have no objection to her relationship with Alex, not to mention she had already given him her virginity, other people and higher-ups of Heavenly Ice Palace will definitely raise questions and cause trouble if Alex’s strength is not enough to enter their eyes.

Well, no matter what, she will never abandon Alex. Alex is her life, how could she give up on him?

If the other people of Heavenly Ice Palace really caused trouble for Alex, the most she would do is give up on becoming the next head of Heavenly Ice Palace and leave the palace.

“155 million Top Grade Celestial Stones!”

Seeing that increasing the bid by one and two million will not have much of an impact, Asna increased the bid by 5 million celestial stones.

On the other hand, the crowd was going crazy. The price was so high that they have never imagined possessing such great wealth. Even with their high imagination, they could at most imagine of possession 50 to 100 million Top Grade Celestial Stones, not more than 150 million.

Shakeer had already given up on the auction. He was out of money and could no longer continue bidding for the Red Source Crystals.

However, Pratham was different. He came to participate in the auction fully prepared. He had no intention of backing down.

Looking at those Red Source Crystals, his eyes shone brightly. No one knows what he was thinking, however, the look in his eyes was enough to tell people how determined he was in obtaining these crystals. He seemed to have a plan for these Red Source Crystals, that made him go to any length to possess them.

Very soon, his face once again became expressionless.

Without any hesitation, he spoke: “160 million Top Grade Celestial Stones!”

Alex sighed. He wanted to end the auction as soon as possible. However, it seems only one person has given up. Asna and Pratham were still fighting. Looks like he had underestimated the wealth possessed by these overlord forces.

Taking a deep breath, he once again increased the bid for the Red Source Crystals.

“200 Million Top Grade Celestial Stones!”

This time, the total increase in the bid was 40 million Top Grade Celestial Stones.

This wealth was something that even Overlord forces like Heavenly Ice Palace would hesitate a lot to take out. Alex believed no one will fight for the Red Source Crystals with him. But he was wrong.

Just after Alex called out his bid, Asna also spoke: “225 million Top Grade Celestial Stones!”

At the same time, she said: “If anyone increases the bid again, I will give up!”

Although her grandpa told her to win the bid for the Red Source Crystals at any price, they have to have enough to continue raising the bid. Without money, how could they raise the bid?

Thus, she had no choice but to give up if anyone increases the bid again.

Maybe, even the old man of the Heavenly Ice Palace would never have thought that the fight for obtaining the Red Source Crystals would be this fierce. Otherwise, he would have given more money to Asna.

Asna could only sigh in her heart. Although she knew someone might really push her bid down with a new bid, there was still a tiny hope in her heart that Alex and Pratham might give up.
