Worldly Overlord - Chapter 81
Devon arrived at the back room of the auction. That was where treasures that were about to be auctioned off were kept.
Surprisingly, he wasn’t the only one there, Devon smiled. So, the rest also went to look for treasures. Seeing how they were several treasures in the backroom that was empty some days ago.
Michael and the rest had all dropped their goods inside the boxes and placed them on top of the shelf in the back room.
Only Derek brought out a storage ring and dropped it on the table, he then told the six of them to check the treasure in the ring when they’re done.
However, just when he was about to make his way out of the back room, he saw Devon walking in. He stopped his movement, as he was really interested to see the treasures Devon had brought.
Ever since he had lost In that fight to Devon, Derek had been training hard and looking for ways to improve to himself that he wasn’t inferior to Devon in any way.
And when the treasure hunting came up, he knew that was his chance.
He was fully confident in the treasures he brought in. Since he couldn’t win against him in a fight, at least he was better than him in treasure hunting.
Besides, apart from hunting those treasures, he also added some of his own treasure that was of no use to him. Those treasures came directly from the dominator.
So, one could imagine how extraordinary it would be.
Derek had taken all the necessary steps that would ensure his victory over Devon.
Devon walked towards one of the tables in the backroom, waving his right hand, and a big sack appeared in his hand.
He then placed his right hand which had a ring on inside the sack. The storage ring in his hand began glowing and after some seconds all the treasure he got from the Greenland sect started entering the sack.
It was as if the storage ring knew what treasure It was going to bring out, as it was the same treasure it got from the sect that was sent to the sack.
Though Devon was also capable of dropping a storage ring just like Derek did, but he chose not to.
As that storage ring was the only gift he received from Teresa. It might seem cheesy, but Devon wasn’t willing to part with the storage ring. Anytime he stares at the storage, that beautiful lady always appears in his mind.
Devon had mocked himself several times, for his unwillingness to part way with the ring.
Just as he was about to place the sack on the table, he could feel someone glaring at him from behind. Devon turned around and saw who it was.
He frowned and threw the sack to Derek as soon as he was done, he walked out of the back room. He had some ideas why this fellow was staring at him.
The staff chuckled, they had always found how Derek acted when he was in front of Devon funny. Though he always glares at Devon, one could see respect and fear in those eyes.
This action made them even more curious about the result of their battle.
Though most of them knew who the winner was, they just wanted to hear it directly from one of those two.
Derek stared down at the sack that was in his hand, and the treasures he saw left his mouth were wide open.
For someone who traveled some of the core areas in the underground world with the Dominator, Derek had seen several things and all sorts of treasures.
It could be said that in the world perhaps only those big three could bring out items that might shock him, but for the rest, they simply weren’t qualified.
But what was in front of him made him stunned.
It wasn’t because of the quality, rather the quantity of the treasures.
To Derek, it was as if Devon had gone somewhere and stole all the treasures. This had to rob, right?
Derek nodded his head, this had completely passed the term treasure hunting, it was on another level.
What kind of monster could gather this number of treasures in just some days.
They were several herbs, artifacts, and pills, though the quality was dull for him, it didn’t mean it was for others. Some people could fight to the death to receive these treasures.
What made it all worse was that the person who had brought all those treasures in had only left the auction for two days and when he returned, he came back with something like this.
So, what if he were to go out for the so-called treasure hunting for a year, wouldn’t the world be turned upside down.
Derek slammed the sack on the table and walked out of the back room with a frown on his face. He had also lost to this fellow when it came to treasure hunting.
His action didn’t go unnoticed by the staff of the white auction.
“I wonder what was inside the sack that made master Derek angry,” Peter said, he then took a look at what was inside the huge sack.
Just as Derek’s mouth was wide open, the same thing happened to Peter, but Peter’s mouth was even wider. He dropped the sack back on the table and walked out of the room.
Peter’s action made the rest perplexed, it wasn’t until they went to check what was in the sack did they understand that Peter and Derek’s actions were within expectations.
When Devon told them to prepare for an auction and to leave the treasures for him to handle. They all had tough bones in them, they couldn’t allow Devon to do all the work, so they also went on their separate adventure to look for treasures.
Each of them brought some presentable treasure back to the auction.
The treasure Devon brought back was so much that it made all of them feel discouraged to ever go out and look for treasure.
Derek and Peter were the second and third-strongest powerhouse in the auction, so the treasure they brought back was the best among all of them. Particularly the ones Derek brought back.
They were really proud of themselves and were looking forward to seeing the treasure Devon would bring.
But seeing the amount of treasure Devon brought back, completely crushed both of them.
Especially Peter as he didn’t believe his talent was below the two monsters in the auction, he believed it was because they were tutored by the masters that were why their difference was so wide.
If he had a little opportunity, his talent would definitely surpass those two. Even his sword mutated due to how incredible his talent was.
Never did he expect that was more than it appeared to be.
Treasure hunting had to do with luck and strength. What it meant to the both of them was Devon was stronger than them, and he was also luckier than them at the same time.
“Wowwww… Isn’t that the beauty enhancement pill? I wonder what all this strange mark all around it.” Anne said.
Unlike the men who felt crushed, the two females in the auction were pleased. As they saw several treasures.
“Wow!” Janet exclaimed, she then kept touching Anne’s shoulder, “This should be close to a legendary pill tier, which means its effect would be greater.
Just by swallowing that pill, it wasn’t exaggerating to say that they would become one of the most beautiful women in the southern territory.
If only they knew that all the pills in, there had surpassed the legendary tier. Devon had erased the spiritual mark that was placed on all the treasures of the Greenland sect with his celestial and cosmic energy.
So, they wouldn’t be any trace that those treasures were stolen from a sect. However, he had destroyed those manuals.
Unknowingly, he used too much celestial and cosmic energy which spread across those items making each of them have a significant upgrade.
Maybe if Devon knew about the changes which occurred in those pills, he might have kept some for himself.
“Look, Anne, this is a thousand-year moon grass.” Janet sighed, only if she was a little close to Devon, then she would have asked him to give her this moon grass.
The moon grass was of extreme importance to her at the moment due to the manual she practiced.
“Don’t worry, another opportunity would come,” Anne said, patting Janet’s back gently.
The two ladies kept naming out several treasures, artifacts, and pills. One hour had gone since they started, but they still weren’t done, “It almost as if he raided a sect.”
As soon as those words came out from Anne’s mouth, both ladies stared at each other at the same time with their mouths open.
“Hahahahaha…. Anne, you’re so funny, he wouldn’t do such a thing, right?” Though they laughed it off, the thought of it happening lingered in their mind.
