Starting With 3 S-Class Talents

Chapter 579: Delay Each Other Until the Dragons Arrive

“This, you…”

Hans took the red crystal card from Vincent and stood there awkwardly. He hesitated for a long time but could not utter a full sentence to Vincent.

He felt as if he had been played, but he could not find any concrete evidence.

Vincent did not mention that he had so many red crystals. The way he acted earlier was as if he did not have enough red crystals on him. At the same time, he was anxious to get rid of the danger caused by the dragon egg. That was why he took the initiative to come to the auction house.

Hans had sensed Vincent’s motive, so he had arranged for him to be placed in the VIP lounge to be strictly protected so that no one would discover his whereabouts.

Plus, at that moment, the teleportation array that led to the Star Race’s headquarters had been built. As long as Hans could get the dragon egg in Vincent’s hands, he would be able to make a great contribution to the Star Race. How could there be such a huge plot twist in the end?

Vincent looked at Hans, who was stunned on the spot. He asked despite knowing the answer, “Why? Are you worried that I don’t have enough red crystals? You can immediately send someone to check if you’re worried. If it’s not enough, I can call a friend to make up the difference for you!”

Hans asked in a deep voice, “Who is your friend?”

Hans already had the thought of stealing the dragon egg in Vincent’s hands, so he had to confirm Vincent’s friend and background at the Inn.

Vincent said with an indifferent expression, “My friend is the manager of the Wanderers Association, Charlie! This red crystal card was also given to me by him!”

“The Wanderers Association!”

Hans took a deep breath and slowly calmed the anger in his heart.

The Star Race could not afford to offend the Wanderers Association. This was because the number of wanderers in the organization was too large. Plus, the Star Race also had business dealings with them. If there was a conflict, the unlucky one would be Hans, the individual in charge of the auction house at the Inn branch.

Therefore, Hans had no choice but to smile at Vincent and say, “In that case, please wait a moment, I’ll settle the bill for you!”

After that, Hans walked out of the VIP room in a hurry and handed the red crystal card to the subordinate waiting outside the door. He ordered with a face full of anger, “Immediately go and check to see if this card can pay 1.8 million red crystals, and then tell me the remaining amount!”

“Yes, boss!”

The subordinate took the card from Hans and immediately left as ordered. He quickly returned and said, “Boss, 1.8 million red crystals have been drawn from this card, and there are less than 200,000 red crystals left!”

The subordinate handed the card back to Hans and reported the balance inside.

Hans looked at the card in his hand and suddenly had an idea. He mumbled, “Less than 200,000 red crystals. This is easy!”

If he wanted to get the dragon egg in Vincent’s hand in a safe way, then he only had one option left, that is to stimulate Vincent to continue spending!

As long as Vincent could spend more than 200,000 red crystals, then he would have to hand over the dragon egg obediently!

Hans could not help but admire his intelligence. He said to his subordinate with a hint of pride, “Immediately inform them to change the items for today’s auction. Take out all of our treasures! As long as we can get the dragon egg, we will not hesitate even if we have to lose all of our inventory!”

After seeing Hans’s frenzied look, his subordinate quickly nodded and turned to leave.

Hans regained his mood and put on a smile. He pushed the door open and entered the VIP lounge again.

“My dear friend, your previous bills have all been settled. Here is your card!”

Vincent took the card and sighed softly. He smiled and said, “In that case, I think it’s getting late, so I won’t bother you anymore. It’s time for me to return to the Wanderers Association!”

Hans was shocked when he heard that because he believed that someone in the Wanderers Association would be able to recognize the value of the dragon egg. If Vincent were to sell the dragon egg to someone else, then the Star Race would lose out on the chance to obtain the dragon egg completely.

Hans quickly stood in front of Vincent and said, “Wait, you can’t leave yet!” He was somewhat out of control.

Kurt saw this and immediately rushed in front of Vincent. He looked at Hans angrily.

After seeing this, Hans realized that he had been too impatient. He quickly explained, “Dear friend, it’s like this. There will be a grand auction soon. Since we are so fated today, why don’t you wait a little longer? Maybe there will be something you like in the auction!”

Vincent heard this and said helplessly, “I only have the red crystal given by Charlie. I believe that I don’t have much left on my card. Even if I continue to stay and participate in the auction, I’m afraid I won’t be able to purchase anything!”

Hans heard this and quickly said, “No, no, no. Our previous agreement is still valid. You can still enjoy the unlimited quota of the auction. You only need to continue to use this dragon egg as collateral!”

Vincent looked at the dragon egg in his hand with hesitation. In the end, he sighed helplessly and said, “Forget it. This dragon egg is destined to be fated with me. Rather than selling it to those boorish people from the Wanderers Association, it should stay here with me so that I can bring out its greatest value. Alright then! We’ll stay and witness the auction of the Star Race!”

After hearing what Vincent said, Hans smiled proudly and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you down!”

Hans then turned around and left. He arranged a large number of subordinates to guard the VIP room on the third floor. He went to the second floor to check on the items that were to be auctioned off.

The auction soon began. All the creatures who were prepared to participate in the auction entered the venue one after another. Soon, the auction on the second floor was filled up to the brim with creatures.

Hans, who was backstage, saw this and could not help but sigh in surprise. “What’s going on? Why are there so many creatures here today? In normal auctions, it would be good enough if half of the seats are occupied. Why is it so abnormal today? Could it be that the information of the auction items that we just changed has been leaked?”

The auctioneer whispered, “A brand new list of auction items has just been confirmed. There is no way that the information will be leaked! Also, boss, did you notice that many of the creatures who are participating in today’s auction are wearing black robes that cover their faces? This is a unique symbol that only merchants who set up stalls in the trading market would wear!”

When Hans heard this, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. He muttered, “Not good, these individuals are here to look for the whereabouts of the dragon egg! Just now, they have already searched the entire auction. Now, they want to look for the whereabouts of the dragon egg in the auction!”

At that moment, a guard leader suddenly rushed over and whispered into Hans’s ear.

Hans exclaimed in surprise, “What? He came so quickly!”

Before the other subordinates could react, a loud voice was heard in the auction hall.

“Mr. Hans, the Star Race has organized such a grand auction, why didn’t they inform me in advance? They don’t respect the dragons at all!”

The originally crowded auction hall was forced to open a path when they saw who entered.

A strong old figure wearing soft blue armor strode into the hall. His beard and hair were both blue and white. He looked at Hans with a dignified expression..
