He already lowered himself to bid for the item in Second Phase and there was a guy who was still going against him.

[That guy should rather flatter me] he thought while gritting his teeth in anger.

Even his wife was stunned. No his wife was stunned along with the entire Auction House.

[How dare he go against me?!] The handsome man was turning pale with anger.

[How dare he?!?!] the side of the sofa cracked due to how tightly the silver haired man grabbed it because of anger.

"HOW DARE YOU?!?!?!" He shouted in anger

*bam* the sofa side shattered.

His wife stunned looked at him. She had seen him angry before but to get angry over such little thing... That just how much he valued his ego!!

That just how much he valued his pride!

Kylo when he heard the angry voice also looked towards that angry voice.

Though they are not able to see each other because of the formation they can feel each other's gaze.

After a moment silence maybe because the silver haired guy calmed down, he made a bid "30000 dark blue crystals."

The difference in increase of the bid just showed the difference in their status.

Nevertheless Kylo did not give up. Since he decided to go against him. He decided to go all out. "33000 dark blue crystals."

The silver haired man was already going mad by now. He calmed down, no he was just holding himself because his wife was grabbing his hand. "75000 dark blue crystals."

Kylo felt a little aggrieved. He made a bid once again. "80000 dark blue crystals."

"200000 dark blue crystals.

The voice came from the third floor once again which seemed like it was about to go on a killing spree

And this was when Kylo knew he had no chance.

It was not like he did not had much money. But he could not spend much on just this phase. He had to worry about the future as well.

The most happy right now was Gareth. The smile on his face was similar to how a guy would feel when losing his virginity to his crush.

Of course he had every right to be happy. For an item which was predicted to not be sold above 2000 dark blue crystals, this was something heaven defying.

"75000 dark blue crystals one." Gareth happily with a hammer in his hands shouted.

[Is the difference really so big between this one floor.] Kylo thought while letting out a bitter smile.

Actually Kylo was mistaken. Had it been the rooms with two digit numbers, they would not have been able to make such scary bids.

And even the status of the guy was little special even in the entire continent.

Anastasia held Kylo's hands seeing the defeated smile on his master's face.

"75000 dark blue crystals two." Gareth hit the hammer once again in a cheerful voice.

<Do you need our help?> A voice asked in his mind. It was Nicholas Dumas who contacted Kylo telepathically.

Kylo looked at the crystal once again. He then sighed and replied telepathically

<No, lets forget it. We can not let anyone suspect any relation between us.>

There were no more conversations.

Gareth seeing no more bids coming from the second floor guy, though regretful, hit the hammer for the last time.

"75000 dark blue crystals three."

*tap* *tap* *tap* after tapping the hammer thrice, the host continued "The mysterious orb is sold to the master of the room D2."

But even if Gareth was happy, the silver haired man was not.

He shouted at Kylo "You don't think this is over right?"

Kylo's comrades paled after hearing it. Especially Anastasia and Yan Qingchang. Yan Zhongyue knew this would happen once Kylo continued to bid for the item.

Nicholas Dumas and Bai Yishan were getting ready to jump in action.

<Settle down guys, let me handle it.> He passed the message telepathically to everyone. But even though he said that, they were still ready for action.

The new owner of the mysterious orb continued "Shouldn't you atleast make an apology for going against me."

His wife was stunned seeing how her husband was being petty, but she did not say anything. In fact she already knew how the 'higher class' people would act but it was just she never knew her husband was the same as them.

But one cannot blame her since they were just recently married.

Kylo knew the consequences but he still decided to go against him, so naturally he would be ready.

But even if he knew, knowing and doing were totally different matters.

Kylo bit his lower lip, but he could do nothing. He was not strong enough to go against them. Yet.

"I apologise... for... my rude behaviour." Kylo uttered the apology with much difficulty.

But the man refused to let it go.

"WHERE IS THE SINCERITY?! WHERE IS THE RESPECT?!" His anger even though calmed down a little, was not completely gone.

"Husband...." his wife tried to say something but he paid no heed. His anger was not something that can be calmed down just by her wife.

Anastasia looked as if she was about to cry under the hood. Kylo just patted her shoulder. Anastasia nodded her head.

"I apologise for my disrespect... Milord." But even if he calmed down Anastasia Kylo himself was filled with anger.

Just because of their stupid petty pride, these egoists who were born with golden spoon played with the commoners like they wished.

"Hmph!! Is this what you call sincerity?! Shouldn't you atleast kneel down in front of the entire Auction House to show your good faith." This time the man said in an arrogant tone.

Anastasia who was about to cry previously was now seething in anger after hearing this.

"Second bro...." Yan Qingchang was about to burst out because of humiliation when the twin held his hand.

"Calm down..." But even if he said that to his twin brother he himself was hardly holding himself. For the twins Kylo was their Lord, their Master, their Big Brother, everything.

Kylo's eyes went red with anger. He cannot kneel. The time where he had to kneel and beg was gone.

Now he was a powerful fighter! He had cultivated this long just because he did not want to suffer any injustice.

Kylo did not knew how far a petty ego can take such a person. This was another lesson for him.

In fact, given there were two more parties on the fourth floor, a third floor buyer should not be able to act much.

Because this would waste their time. But this time they did not interfere. Why?

They wanted to let the entire crowd know no one can defy the authority of the 'upper class'. And this was also a hint for the third floor buyers, what would happen if they went against the fourth floor guys in the next phase.

Kylo did not reply. The entire Auction House went silent. And even the Auction House would not help one of the hundred second floor private rooms and risking going against one of the top powerhouses of this continent.

"Husband isn't it enough.. Are you really going to go this far because of such insignificant matter?" The woman finally could not hold herself and asked her husband.

"Hmph! He had to suffer consequences for going against me!" The husband replied in contemptuous voice.

The woman held her husband's hand and said in a loud voice "We already got your sincerity young man. Do not need to prove anything further."

Kylo heard the voice and was stunned for a while. Not just him, everyone in the auction house was stunned.
