The attitude of the crowd did not change at all because of the host's words, because the entire sword was covered in rust and there was no sense of any potential power coming from it. It was completely a piece of scrap metal.

Although they knew that the East and West continents had many treasures that the Central Continent did not have, it did not mean that they would spend a large price to buy something from the East or West continents.

Especially something that looked like garbage.

"Are you sure this sword can still be used?"

"Yeah, this is the first time I've seen such a piece of junk being auctioned. Is it just retired from the battlefield? Hahaha!"

"Is your business also in a bottleneck, so you're planning to seclude yourself and cultivate for two years?"

Laughter erupted from the crowd.

After all, swords were weapons that were only used by a minority of people. Most mages rarely used tools or similar items. If there had to be one thing, it would be a magic staff. However, most magic staves enhanced the effect of magic too insignificantly, and it was also not convenient to carry. Therefore, not many people used them. Instead, more mages were willing to spend money to use magic stones.

Moreover, how can you expect people to believe that this rusty sword is a divine artifact?

For example, the sword of the Sword Saint emitted a sharp edge just by placing it there, and the same goes for Green's Valiber. However, the sword on the stage didn't give off any energy.

Ignoring the doubts of the crowd, the host reluctantly smiled. Although he was also curious as to why the manager requested this sword to be the final auction item, he had to obey the orders from his superiors. Since this was the case, it meant that there must be a certain purpose behind it. So after the commotion died down, the host announced the starting price.

But little did he know, Green showed an interested expression among the crowd of doubters.

"The starting price is 10 million gold coins! And because it is the final auction item, the bid must not be less than 1 million gold coins."

As soon as he said this, the scene exploded.

"F*ck! Have you all gone crazy thinking about money? You dare to sell this broken sword for 10 million?"

"This is madness, your auction house is beyond redemption!"

"I'm leaving, you guys continue."

......

The crowd's reaction was as expected. The host could only wear a wry smile, but there was nothing he could do. This auction house was not run by him. He had to follow what the manager said.

However, although it seemed that way on the surface, he was also curious about the secret of this sword. Otherwise, why would the manager set the price at 10 million? After all, even for a powerful magical aristocratic family, 10 million gold coins was not a small amount.

But just as he was thinking this, a person bidding made the whole scene quiet.

"11 million."

........

The crowd fell silent.

The entire venue became silent.

No one expected that someone would want such a thing. Even those who wanted to leave stopped in their tracks because they felt an unusual aura from this bid.

Suddenly, a person emerged from the dark audience area and walked onto the stage, standing beside the host.

This action directly stunned the entire audience. Even the host did not expect this to happen because the purpose of the large-scale magic concealments in the audience area was to protect the auction participants' privacy. But now someone had walked directly onto the stage, which indicated one thing:

You are all trash!

Standing on the stage was a seemingly handsome and charming guy, but upon closer observation, one could easily see the arrogance between his brows. Normal people would feel disgust toward him from the bottom of their hearts just by looking at him.

There was no sound coming from the blurred audience area. This made the corners of the charming guy's mouth reveal a faint smile, but even this smile made people have an impulse to kill him on the spot.

But no one dared to do so.

"One of the Seven Deadly Sins, Stust, why is he here??"

"Where is the manager? Where is the manager? Why did they let this kind of person come in??"

"We're done for. Is he going to kill us?"

........

"Just a glance at him makes me want to peel him alive. Stust is such a detestable character." - This was the evaluation of Stust given by a soldier who was interviewed while heavily injured.Xiu Ste is the name of this dude, and anyone with a bit of common sense knows how terrifying Xiu Ste is. He became a member of the Seven Deadly Sins after being wanted by all the countries on the Central Continent for killing several kings in a joint conference.

No one knows why the Seven Deadly Sins would appear in this place.

The host on the stage didn't expect it either, but soon he calmed down and said to the panicked crowd, "Don't worry, this is the territory of the 'Black Cloak,' all the bidders here are absolutely safe, even if the Seven Deadly Sins appear, there's no need to fear!"

In fact, he is the one most panicked now. He knows that if Xiu Ste wants to, he can kill him right now. But who is his backer?

It is the highest manager of this auction, the 'Black Cloak'!

With the 'Black Cloak' as his backer, the host gradually overcame his fear, and then looked at the handsome man next to him who would disgust people with just a glance.

"Sir, was it you who called the price just now?"

The crowd held their breath. They were curious why Xiu Ste, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, would appear here and buy a sword that looks like scrap metal. But they knew that the Seven Deadly Sins were not fools, so their curiosity about the sword grew stronger.

However, Xiu Ste's answer surprised everyone.

"No, it wasn't me. It wasn't me who called the price just now."

His voice was polite, but for some reason, it made people want to punch him.

But compared to this inexplicable excitement, Xiu Ste's answer was even more shocking. Obviously, according to the situation just now, it must have been Xiu Ste who called the price. However, Xiu Ste denied this speculation.

The crowd felt that things were not that simple.

And the next scene surprised everyone even more.

Suddenly, two people walked onto the stage... no, it was three people!

Green and Mio left their seats and walked straight to the stage, standing face to face with Xiu Ste.

"It was me. I was the one who called the price just now."

"Oh... oh, so it was you, sir..."

The sweat on the host's forehead poured down. It was already shocking enough to have Xiu Ste appear, but how come two more people suddenly appeared? And for some reason, he couldn't see the face of one of them clearly.

The host had a bad feeling.

Green ignored Xiu Ste and walked to the table where the sword was placed. He grabbed the rusty hilt of the sword and casually swung it a couple of times. Then, he said calmly, "Can I buy this on credit?"

"Ah?... Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't hear clearly. Can you please say it again?"

When the host heard Green's voice, he walked over while holding the sword, causing the host's heart to tighten, but Green did nothing to him. Instead, he took out a business card out of thin air and handed it to the host.

"I'm sorry, I don't have enough money at the moment, so I want to buy this sword on credit. You can contact me with this card, and there are so many big shots here, and I'm not even hiding my face. It shouldn't be a big deal to buy on credit, right?"

"Well..."

The host showed a troubled expression, but when he saw the information on the card that Green handed him, a bitter smile froze on his face.

"You... you, you are actually a king?!"

The host exclaimed in surprise. Although there were many imperial nobles present, noble as they were, they couldn't compare to a king. Especially with only two people mentioned in the introduction of the Green Kingdom on the card.

From this, it can be inferred that Green, as a king, is definitely not weak in strength. After all, the conditions required to establish a kingdom are well known, and there must be something remarkable about him to gain recognition from neighboring countries.

"But even if you are a king, according to our rules, we do not allow buying on credit, so..."

The host once again showed a troubled expression. He couldn't allow others to buy on credit without the consent of the highest manager, the 'Black Cloak.'

Green also understood his dilemma. The other party was just a host, and it wouldn't be good to make things difficult for him. But in this case, Green couldn't gather so much money in a short time.

Green's income was just the reward he received for escorting Lilies last time, and the Holy Sword Masters and others thought that Green, at his level, wouldn't be short on money, so they didn't give him any.On Aloof's behalf, Green would be even less likely to ask for money. Green rarely had a need for money in the first place, so it was impossible for him to suddenly come up with ten million gold coins.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he was restricted in the aspect of funds that he was least concerned about.

Could he only resort to robbery...

No, no, no. If he did that, apart from Aloof's reaction, Green himself would look down upon himself.

But just as Green was troubled, the seemingly ignored Rost suddenly spoke up.

"Esteemed King, it appears that you are having some difficulties with money. If you don't mind, why don't you borrow some from me?"

As Rost spoke, he waved his left hand with the storage ring on it, and immediately several large bags of gold coins appeared by Green's feet. Although it was not enough to make up ten million, Green naturally understood what he meant.

In fact, because Green was inexplicably tempted to beat him when he saw him, Green had been consciously ignoring him, after all, Green did not want to get involved with him.

But since the other party had taken the initiative to extend a friendly gesture, there was no need to hold a grudge, right?

Especially since there was no grudge between them.

So even though the other party was one of the Seven Deadly Sins, Green temporarily accepted his goodwill.

"Thank you, can you please help me pay for this sword?"

Including the host, everyone was surprised by the casual conversation between the two.

The Seven Deadly Sins was someone that even children could be scared of upon hearing their names, and Rost's crime was killing several kings. Moreover, from the host's words, Green happened to be a king...

Green had also glimpsed at the information of the other Sins in the book Caesar had given him, so he naturally understood this point, but that didn't mean he would fear him. He just had a slight guard up, that's all.

Just as Green finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on Rost's face. The smile was so warm and sunny, but for some reason, it made people want to punch him when they saw it.

But Rost's next action made Green really want to beat him up, even beat him to death.

I saw Rost waving his right hand over his left hand, and a staircase appeared out of thin air. There were some traces of red on the staircase, but it was unclear what it was.

Then Rost stepped on the staircase with one foot and said in a very gentlemanly tone:

"Well then, as a condition, I hope the esteemed gentleman can use... Oh no, it wouldn't be appropriate for the King himself to do it. The person by your side must be very important to you, right? So I hope the esteemed gentleman can have the person by your side lick my dirty shoes with their tongue until they're clean."

As he finished speaking,Huste's expression finally changed. The gentlemanly smile was now replaced by an overtly arrogant expression, and Green finally understood why Huste seemed so punchable.

The reason was actually very simple--

For no reason, it was just innate.
