Woodsen fixed his gaze on the woman who spoke out and said, smiling, “Blair, Serena, to think that you would come to such a low class auction…”
“Well, aren’t you here, too? I assume that you came for that item as well,” Blair said, smiling.
Tyrion noticed the woman now, she was in a red evening gown and looked noble and graceful, her smile enticing and mature. Unlike Tyrion’s reaction, the crowd was shocked when they discovered the speakers’ identities.
“Mr. Woodsen is the representative of the Bart Group that is among the top 500 corporations in the Death Gate City, and that is Death Gate City’s City lord’s daughter Blair…”
“Looks like, other than us, a lot of people came for that item.”
“Interesting, that a bottle of serum that might be fake actually attracted so many people.”
Seeing that the both of them had already spoken, some of the others also voiced comments bluntly.
“I am Instructor Humphrey and we do not wish to waste our time, so take out that item.”
“I am the Podell Group’s representative, and I do not wish to waste time either…”
The situation got out of hand and most of the important people just declared their identities, as they wished to bid for a particular item. Upon learning their identities, Tyrion was stunned.
The City lord’s daughter, the Instructor, and other top families were all the ruling elite members of Death Gate City and the neighbouring cities whom he would not be able to see normally. Moreover, most of the decisions that would affect the Death Gate academy were all made by these top families and the military.
As for the Podell Group and the Bart Group, they were both huge corporations among the world’s top 500 strongest, and they affected the whole of Death Gate City’s economy.
“What kind of treasure could attract all these important figures here today?” Tyrion could not help but exclaim aloud in awe.
He was even more curious now, as to what that item was, to be considered even more precious than a Gold-tier sacred sword! A Gold-tier sacred sword, at the very least, would cost billions relic gold, and to Tyrion, that was an unfathomable amount.
Nicolas took out his handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was nervous, as these were all important people that he could not afford to offend. Even Tronic Mall could not afford to offend anyone present today, so if he were to make anyone unhappy, he could get fired!
At the moment, Nicolas was put on the spot and could not decide what to do.
“Manager, what should we do now?” Nicolas spoke through the phone call to Briston.
After staying silent for a moment, Briston said, “Take the serum out.”
This auction was initially held specifically for this serum anyways, so since the other treasures could not interest them, they might as well skip to the main event. Nicolas hung up the phone and smiled, then turned to the customers and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down.
Since all of you are here today for one main reason, Tronic Mall has decided to take the main item out ahead of time and auction it.”
Clap clap!
Nicolas clapped his hands two times, and the Gold-tier sacred sword was pushed down, while another cart was wheeled up. A red cloth covered the newly wheeled cart completely, apparently hiding the item beneath it. Tyrion was curious as to what could attract so much attention from everyone.
Whoosh!
Nicolas lifted the red cloth, and the blue crystal box beneath it opened by itself. Inside the crystal box was a bottle of seven-colored serum, which Tyrion was very, very familiar with.
Upon seeing the item, Tyrion’s mouth hung open in shock. He then said aloud in shock, “They came just for my serum?”
Needless to say, Tyrion’s enhanced Atomic Serum looked much more expensive and high class after Tronic Mall had repackaged it. The normal packaging initially made it look like some cheap street ware, but now, the enhanced Atomic Serum looked just like an art piece at a gallery exhibition!
Under the bright lights, the seven colors were magnificent and mesmerizing, as they were being reflected on the crystal bottle. The Fiend seal, which had been placed at the opening of the bottle, Tyrion recognized as a copy of his Fiend disguise immediately. The Fiend seal made it demonic and arrogant, causing the entire bottle of enhanced Atomic Serum look more like a divine object.
“Even though the enhanced Atomic Serums are rare and precious, they cannot possibly be compared to a Gold-tier sacred sword worth billions,” Tyrion mumbled to himself, perplexed.
Right at this moment, the crowd stood up en masse, hoping to get a better look at the enhanced Atomic Serum. Just by its appearance, it had caused quite a lot of people to gasp in awe.
“A perfect piece of art!”
“To think that a serum could be so beautiful, it’s as bright and eye-catching as the stars in the sky and has already exceeded the boundaries of serums! Even if it were to be only an exhibition piece, it would still be mesmerizing.”
Only after quite a while, did the crowd manage to calm and sit back down.
“The enhanced Atomic Serum, a revolutionary item that will lead humans to the second evolutionary growth spurt!” Nicolas’s voice echoed throughout the entire place.
…
The first major event in the human evolutionary history was the birth of the Atomic Serum. It accelerated the rate for ordinary humans to become Genetic Soldiers.
As the number of genetic soldiers increased, the number of the stronger evolved beings also increased, naturally. Now, with the birth of the enhanced Atomic Serum, if the effect was really as described, would mark the second evolution of the human race.
In this new era, whoever had the control over the most enhanced version of the Atomic Serum would be able to breed the greatest number of evolved beings, resulting in an ever-increasing amount of powerful beings.
After all, the enhanced Atomic Serum had just been born, so its availability must be limited. If one party had more, all other parties would naturally have access to less. Eventually, after decades and centuries passed, the enhanced Atomic Serum would have become more widely available.
