Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

Chapter 92 Chapter91-John's Old Acquaintances, Auction Continues

Inside the box, John was introducing Emma to the big shots who had made their entrances.

"Silent Ones Guild, guild leader Chillminder, his base class is archer, his hidden class is unknown. Most of their guild members are human and elf archers..."

"Shadowrealm Guild, guild leader Karthus, his base class is necromancer, his hidden class should be something related to the grim reaper, judging from the scythe behind him..."

"Black Rose Guild, guild leader... um... Snowla, her base class is priest. But this woman is a little off her rocker, she doesn't act like a holy light class at all. Keep your distance from her..."

Mentioning Snowla, a fleeting look of helplessness crossed John's eyes.

Emma, always sensitive to his moods, quickly caught on.

She looked up at John with teasing eyes, "Johnny, did you know this Snowla before?"

John was taken aback.

When had this girl's sixth sense become so sharp?

Weren't you always into cute and innocent girls before?

John gently stroked Emma's long hair and asked back, "What makes you think that?"

Emma said matter-of-factly, "Because when you mentioned Snowla, your tone was very different. You must know her well, right?"

John awkwardly rubbed his nose.

Emma's gaze grew more suspicious, "Don't tell me... Snowla is your ex-girlfriend?"

"Cough!" John almost choked on his beer, "What are you thinking? I've just had a few interactions with her in a previous game."

Emma pouted, her face full of disbelief.

John coughed lightly and quickly continued on the previous topic, "Um, next, the Dawn Guild, guild leader Kingserp, his exact class is unknown. I suspect it has something to do with some snake-like bosses from the abyss. He's a really cunning guy."

Emma looked up blankly, "What's the abyss?"

White Feather, who had been eavesdropping, also looked over curiously.

John smiled slightly, "Consider it a high-level secret realm, you guys aren't able to reach it yet."

"Oh, okay." Emma nodded her little head, listening attentively to John's explanations.

"You've just met Blue Sea and Adam..."

"The Iron Wings Guild, guild leader Iron Mountain, his base class is a heavy armored warrior..."

John's words came to a halt as a stunningly beautiful woman appeared in his line of sight.

That familiar face, still captivating as ever.

Even Emma and White Feather, both girls, were amazed by the woman's beauty.

Emma murmured, "Such a beautiful lady..."

White Feather nodded frantically.

Then, they saw the beautiful woman say something towards their box.

"Galewind, long time no see."

...

Her voice was like an orchid blooming in an empty valley, with a hint of magnetism, seemingly naturally noble and mysterious.

In terms of beauty alone, this mysterious woman wasn't the only standout.

The hot-tempered Black Rose Guild leader, Snowla.

The naturally cute Emma.

The radiant Isabella...

Their beauty was no less than this woman.

What they truly lacked, perhaps, was the woman's grace and mystery, which provoked an irresistible urge to uncover more.

John activated the mechanism to open the floor-to-ceiling window, finally revealing the last box on the second floor to everyone.

"It's been a while... Miss Bambooist..."

John's calm words, like a bolt from the blue, immediately drew everyone's attention.

"Wow, it really is you, big brother Galewind!"

The moment John appeared, the formerly cursing Snowla suddenly became docile.

She held her hands to her chest, greeting John in a cloyingly sweet voice.

Others didn't think much of it. But the Silent Ones Guild's leader Chillminder, who was most familiar with Snowla, was looking at her like she was an alien.

God, when did the so-called "Tyrannosaurus Girl" Snowla...

Showing such a sweet and docile side? Is this even the Snowla I know?

John chuckled lightly, teasingly adding, "I just saw you here, verbally battling it out. You're as sharp-tongued as ever, aren't you?"

Against all odds, Snowla blushed.

Her pure, usually composed face turned a rare shade of red, a sight that nearly made the eyeballs of her entourage and the familiar guild leaders around her pop out.

"Galewind, you're teasing me again. I'm not as ferocious as you make me sound..."

Snowla was cooing sweetly when she spotted Emma and White Feather standing behind John. contemporary romance

Her fine eyebrows shot up immediately.

"Brother Galewind, who are these beauties behind you?" She asked, teeth clenched.

The threatening gaze in her eyes made Emma and White Feather hastily shrink back. John frowned slightly, "Don't harbor any ill thoughts towards them, Snowla."

This light comment instantly tamed Snowla.

One could say that her change of expression was as fast as flipping a page in a book.

Having watched the entire scene with a joyful smile, Bambooist finally spoke again. "Long time no see, Galewind. You're still as charming as ever."

Just as John was about to reply, Snowla pointed her verbal gun at Bambooist again, loudly rebuking, "Shut up, old woman! Galewind is not someone you can comment on freely. Give me back my necklace now, or I'll beat you into a real old hag!"

Bambooist, smiling charmingly enough to dazzle anyone, taunted, "Little girl, aren't you afraid of losing face in front of your ex-boyfriend again? Don't forget, you lost to me last time."

Snowla was both angry and flustered, her chest heaving.

John figured out that these two apparently had some history, and the usually haughty Snowla seemed to have suffered a loss at the hands of Bambooist.

"Hey, you two beauties, calm down a bit. Shouldn't we focus on the auction at this time?" Blue Sea, always the most composed, brought the conversation back on track.

Right, the main purpose today was the auction, wasn't it?

Other disputes and grievances should wait until the auction was over.

The gamers present suddenly understood.

Their attention had been completely absorbed by the high-level disputes in the second-floor private rooms and they had completely forgotten their real purpose for being there.

Snowla grunted and stopped attacking verbally.

The top two guilds in the Demon, Shadowrealm and Dawn, also fell silent. B

Bambooist sat back down on the sofa with a mysterious smile...

The farce seemed to have come to an end, and the auction was back on track.

But everyone could sense the undercurrent swirling between the private rooms on the second floor, a powder keg that could explode at any moment.

On stage, Isabella smiled faintly.

She had been busy watching the drama as well.

The grievances and grudges among these top players were as compelling as a court drama.

After hearing Blue Sea's words, Isabella regained her composure.

"Ahem, dear esteemed guests, please be patient," she began. "I believe that after seeing the second round of auction items, everyone has already made up their minds."

"I hope everyone here feels welcomed and secures the equipment and items they desire tonight." Isabella's soft voice finally calmed the restless gamers.

Seeing this, Isabella seized the opportunity and announced, "Now, let's start the auction with the first item — the Heart of Magma. The starting bid is 3 million in cash, and each subsequent bid must increase by at least half a million."

All the lights on the stage focused on the necklace embedded with rubies, the Heart of Magma.

The crowd instantly burst into a frenzy.

The first item reached the million-level.

Even though it was a cash deal, it was enough to demonstrate its value.

"My guild, Mountain Guild, bids 1.5 million."

"2 million. This necklace is mine."

"3 million, please show some respect for my guild, Fire Guild."

"Flame Guild? Never heard of it. We, Thunder Guild, bid 4 million."

...

The players on the first floor were the first ones to become restless, each throwing out their bids.

The price was rising at an alarming rate, quickly surpassing the 7 million mark.

Behind John, Emma widened her eyes, her little face full of surprise.

She had experienced the auction of the legendary item [Ancient Parchment] last time.

She thought that was already a crazy price.

She never expected that today's auction would be a hundred times more exaggerated.

Money seemed to become a simple number in front of these players, uttered without any hesitation.

"10 million."

Finally, someone on the second floor made a move.

Chillminder, the leader of Silent Ones Guild, raised his hand and stated his price, directly pushing the price into the eight figures.

Hearing this price, many players on the first floor changed their expressions.

These small and medium-sized powers knew well that they were not eligible to compete with the top guilds on the second floor for the later auction items.

They would be more than satisfied just to win a few early items.

So, the previously bidding leader of the Mountain Guild gritted his teeth and made another bid: "I bid 10.5 million!"

Chillminder remained expressionless, his eyes not even flickering. "12 million!"

The leader of the Mountain Guild tried to raise his hand a few times, but finally let it fall despondently.

12 million was the financial limit of his guild.

But Chillminder on the second floor could obviously keep raising the price.

The financial power of a top-tier guild was something that a small and medium guild could not compete with.

The players on the first floor sighed inwardly.

In the end, the Heart of Magma necklace was taken by Chillminder for the staggering price of 12 million.

And this was just the beginning of a wild night!
