Chapter 390 Just Trying to Anger You
William was surprised to see Cameron there, but when his gaze shifted to Ben, he immediately understood what was going on.
"Are you here to assist Ben?" William asked calmly.
"How is that possible? I don't even know this Ben; I just came here to shop." Cameron couldn't tell the truth—William's terrifying strength was beyond his match.
Upon hearing this, Ben was dumbfounded.
"What are you talking about? This guy is a fraud. Didn't we agree to teach him a lesson?"
"Shut up! Who said I was here to teach him a lesson? I don't know you at all. Get lost! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you," Cameron hastily interrupted Ben.
Delilah couldn't find the words to express her astonishment.
Cameron clearly knew Ben, so why was he denying knowing him? And from his nervous expression, it seemed like he was afraid of William.
"William, have you seen him before?" Delilah couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I have. They tried to take my private room before, and I knocked him out with one punch. His skills aren't that great," William said casually.
Delilah and Ben were shocked to hear this.
Cameron was considered one of the top five fighters in the Flood Boxing Guild, yet he was no match for William's one punch. It was terrifying.
"No wonder he's so scared of you. It seems like he's been scared off by you," Delilah said as realization dawned on her.
"I won't bother you with your shopping anymore. I'll take my leave," Cameron bowed to William and quickly walked away.
Ben hurriedly chased after him.
"Why are you leaving? We haven't finished what we planned!"
But Cameron simply kicked him away in response. William shook his head upon seeing this—Ben was far too foolish.
"Let's go. We'll go and see if there's anything good at the auction," William said, leading Delilah towards the largest tent in the center of the island.
The tent was extremely large, covering an area of 100 square meters. By the time William and Delilah entered, it was already filled with people.
The majority of those sitting here were martial artists, but there might also be some members of prominent families mixed in.
The clothes they wore were of various styles, with a good number of ethnic minorities, which amazed William.
"Surely, only powerful figures can come here." William glanced at the people present, and although their clothes varied in style, they were all extremely luxurious. It was evident that those participating in the auction were wealthy and influential figures in the world of martial arts.
"There are so many factions here, and more than half of them are forces from outside Canada. It seems that this mineral vein has indeed attracted martial arts factions from all over the country." Delilah swept her eyes around and couldn't help but exclaim softly.
After finding a spot to sit in the corner, William turned to Delilah and asked; "Do you know these factions?".
"I know most of them, but there are a few that I don't recognize." Delilah took a few more careful glances and then briefly introduced them to William.
"Are the people from the Das Guild here too?" William raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, they are sitting in the front row, the ones wearing sky blue sportswear. The one leading the group is Ricardo, the controlling shareholder of Das Guild. His strength has also reached the Grandmaster level." Delilah pointed to the people at the front.
William nodded and looked over in that direction. Then he stood up and walked towards the registration area to participate in the auction.
"I have a Flood Boxing Guild identity card as a guarantee." Seeing that William was going to get the auction number, Delilah also stood up quickly.
"Flood Boxing Guild as a guarantee??" William initially wanted to get the auction number in his own name, but he thought that using the Flood Boxing Guild as a guarantee might be better, so he agreed to Delilah's suggestion.
Soon, both William and Delilah obtained their auction numbers and returned to their corner.
They waited for a while longer, and then the auction officially began.
The host of the auction was a glamorous woman with heavy makeup, wearing a sexy long dress with a high slit.
"The first item today is a collection brought in from overseas." As she introduced, she pulled away the red cloth on the table, revealing the object inside.
The so-called collection turned out to be a jade colored toad carved from jade, which looked similar to regular jade on the surface, but there seemed to be a faint energy flowing within this jade toad.
"This jade toad has the function of keeping warm in winter and cool in summer. If you keep it with you for a long time, it can assist in energy cultivation. The starting price is one million dollars! Let the bidding begin."
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience became excited and thrilled.
The bidding price kept rising. An item that could assist in energy cultivation was definitely a valuable treasure, and Delilah was quite envious.
"What do you think, William?"
"It's alright, but if even this can be considered a collection..."
If that's the case, there would be too many collectibles in this world," William expressed his disappointment about this so-called collectible.
Because of Ocean Guild, William now knew that even if you randomly dig a stone on the mountaintop, it might have the function to assist in cultivating and enhancing superpowers.
"You have such high standards!" Delilah exclaimed, her mouth agape.
"Is this considered high? Next time, I'll have someone send you a few of these," William didn't expect that something easily picked up at Ocean Guild would become a sought-after auction item here. It seems that Ocean Guild really holds a unique advantage.
"Really? You better not back out," Delilah excitedly replied.
While William and Delilah were chatting, the bidding price of the jade toad had already been raised to fifteen million dollars.
"Twenty million dollars," Ricardo, the controlling shareholder of Das Guild, raised his bidder card and made a bid, directly increasing the price by five million dollars. It appears that they were determined to obtain this treasure.
For a moment, no one dared to compete with them. Firstly, they didn't have the financial capability, and secondly, they were afraid of offending Das Guild.
Just when Ricardo believed that they would secure the jade toad, a voice suddenly came from a corner.
"Thirty million dollars."
As soon as the voice fell, everyone turned their gaze towards William, wearing an expression of shock.
"William, didn't you say you weren't interested in this thing? Why did you bid so much?" Delilah asked in surprise, her face filled with astonishment.
"To be honest, this jade toad isn't impressive, but I just enjoy the thrill of bidding, especially against Das Guild," William said, raising his bidder card so that the people from Das Guild could see it clearly. His bidder card was guaranteed by the Flood Boxing Guild, so he wanted to use this opportunity to escalate the conflict between Das Guild and the Flood Boxing Guild even further, to achieve his goal.
Sure enough, faced with such provocation, the members of Das Guild were immediately consumed by anger.
