Chapter 147: Unusual Auction

All the eyes of the people present were on the Spatial Bag that Ji-woo was holding up. Some didn’t realize or couldn’t tell whether the bag was original or not. Meanwhile, some others could recognize the magic item right away with just one look.

However, Chairman Yu had no time for that. He was more worried about the uproar that would occur due to the display of the magic item without any preparation and security.

Sure enough, there was a movement of several hunters who wanted to seize the opportunity and snatch the Spatial Bag directly in front of the crowd.

“Damn it! I need to stop that!”

“Hyung, you don’t have to do anything. Just look at the few people in the front row there. They didn’t move even though they saw this happening before their eyes.”

Chairman Yu stopped in his tracks when he heard Dal-soo’s suggestion. He just realized that some of the brokers and hunters who were near Ji-woo didn’t react to what happened.

Meanwhile, Ji-woo, who was also aware of the efforts of several hunters who wanted to steal the Spatial Bag blatantly, smiled disdainfully.

‘Looks like some people here are aware I’m not just any E-rank hunter. Well, what happened last night must have been of use to those in the know. Even though news of the hunter’s corpses didn’t spread.’

Ji-woo casually positioned his upper body back a little, and the first hunter who was about to snatch the Spatial Bag missed it. He then swiftly caught the hunter with his left hand on the neck and knocked the hunter to the floor.

“Let’s stop this pointless game.”

Ji-woo nimbly dodged all the ambushes of the hunters and threw them all to the floor one by one.

Seeing that there were three hunters lying unconscious under Ji-woo’s feet, many hunters present were amazed by it. However, there were also those who felt nothing when seeing that. In the end, the hunters were only C-ranks and relied on sneaking abilities. So, there was nothing special about the incident.

The hunters who were stalking Ji-woo were also C-ranks. So?

The brokers and hunters who were casually watching weren’t surprised at all. If the owner of the Spatial Bag was not as strong as some of the escaped hunters reported. They would have sent reinforcements to harass the Ji-woo residence last night. In fact, they were silent even though seeing Ji-woo show off the magic item at the beginning already proved they were wary of the owner. They want to wait and see further into the situation to determine how they might behave.

Ji-woo was also aware of the attitude of those people.

“Want to wait and see instead of testing the water, huh? Fine. Now we can move on to the main event. This is an original Spatial Bag item. If anyone wants to check it out, please come forward. But, this only applies to those who can afford this magic item. Remember that.

“This can be called an auction. But, the transaction does not have to be in the money. As long as your offer is attractive to me, then I will give it on the spot. If you don’t want to be heard by others, you can come to me and say it.

“But, keep in mind, hidden offers like that will not get prioritized until I hear other offers.”

Almost everyone present felt strange and not very happy with Ji-woo’s rule. Some of them didn’t even know it was an auction. So, they did not prepare any funds when they came to see the magic item. They feel Ji-woo was too arrogant. But, in the end, no one wanted to make a fuss yet.

On the other hand, among the many brokers who were present with their mercenary hunters. There was one broker who looked familiar. It was Jee Seok-jin.

Seok-jin had been trying to contact Ji-woo since the night before. But, his call didn’t go through at all. He was also one of the brokers who sent a hunter to watch Ji-woo’s movements. But unfortunately, after getting news several times, he immediately lost contact with the hunter. He wanted to send another hunter but received warnings from other broker friends not to do so unless he had a large reserve of A-rank hunters.

Chairman Yu and Dal-soo, who saw all that happened, were speechless. But quickly, Dal-soo advised them to get closer to Ji-woo’s spot and prepare for the auction.

Ji-woo had no problem with that. Ma-no also approached him to help with the auction, but he politely declined. He thanked Ma-no and the weapon shop for offering to help. But this time, he needed to deal with the people searching for his information.

Before moving behind where Ji-woo was, Dal-soo stopped and asked him something.

“Could you spare your time later when this event is over?” Dal-soo didn’t want to waste time warning Ji-woo about the magic item up for auction. He knew Ji-woo wouldn’t change his mind. So, he better think about the future.

Ji-woo chuckled. “I feel like you’re always asking for something every time you open your mouth.” Although he answered in informal language, he agreed to Dal-soo’s request.

“Thank you. Instead, I’ll give you a piece of advice. Some people here are quite challenging to manage and deal with. So, if there’s a suitable offer, it’s better to just give it straight away without prolonging the process.”

Ji-woo didn’t answer and turned back to the audience in front of him. He just waved his hand at Dal-soo.

“And please don’t make any unnecessary fuss later.”

Dal-soo said one last time before finally turning around and walking to the back of the spot. He joined Chairman Yu, Ma-no, Ji-hye, and several other hunters. Meanwhile, the division chiefs of the Hunters Association were on guard and standby in several places inside.

“How? No offer? Should I just cancel this event?” Ji-woo didn’t mind if the event got canceled. He was prepared if anyone planned to steal the Spatial Bag rather than buying it through the auction.

But suddenly, there was a familiar voice that took Ji-woo by surprise.

“Six billion won!”

At first, Seok-jin wanted to offer a deal that he could sell the item for a fantastic price on the Black Market. However, he soon realized that he was among the brokers who also had access to the place. Some even had higher privileges than him. So, he immediately dropped the idea and blurted out the offer.

“Another?” Ji-woo replied with a subtle smile. He didn’t think of this auction as it should be. He thinks of turning down the offer if nothing appeals to him.

Of course, what Ji-woo said made some brokers and hunters unhappy. They immediately stood up and wanted to show their dissatisfaction with Ji-woo’s attitude towards the auction.

Ji-woo, who got already prepared for the commotion to break out, was surprised when he saw that there were several hunters taking care of the situation.

“Sit down. There’s nothing to fuss about here. If you’re not satisfied, just go home. We’re dealing with a Spatial item. It is not just any magic item. It’s up to the owner how to organize the process. If you want, shut up and obey. If not, get out of here.”

It was an S-rank hunter named Ji-soo, Artates guild Vice-headmaster. Besides her, there were also Gang-ho, In-ah, Dal-shik, and several other S-rank hunters from the Demigod guild and the Shadow guild.

Because of that, the dissatisfied audience immediately became silent and sat back down to their respective places.

“Six billion won and some good quality magic weapons.” Gang-ho bargained. All night he read Ji-woo’s information. He was not angry even though he knew it was a member of his guild. He understood the action and let the matter pass.

Ji-woo chuckled and was speechless at the offer. Magic weapons were totally useless for him. “Okay. Anything else?” However, he didn’t reject it outright and continued his auction.

Gang-ho scowled at that. He felt offended by the chuckle. Even so, he didn’t get angry right away and crossed his arms while waiting for the others.

Several other S-rank hunters seemed hesitant to make an offer. Meanwhile, Ji-soo and In-ah have their own business.

In-ah was not interested in the auction. She only focused on Ji-woo. And from the beginning, she tried to feel the Mana from the young man. However, the results were in vain. Meanwhile, Ji-soo wanted to pay attention to Ji-woo’s reaction to the other offers and later made her own offer based on it.

At such times, the brokers finally started to make their bids. But this time, the offer was concealed. So, no one knew about it.

Ji-woo, who received several offers from the brokers, shook his head. The average bid was not much different. It was between six billion to seven billion won only. And all offer access to or become a regular member of the Black Market.

Some of these brokers must think that their offer was definitely sufficient and attractive for Ji-woo.

“Well, the others?”

The remarks then jolted several brokers who made hidden offers. They realize that their proposal wasn’t enough to sway Ji-woo. It was also possible that their offers were not different from others or precisely the same.

The brokers then looked at each other while gritting their teeth.
