Chapter 157: Successful Bid
Kevin Miller looked towards Ye Feng with a mocking expression as his lips curled up, he made a movement of slitting his throat.
He did not wear a mask as he looked towards Ye Feng provocatively and arrogantly.
His expression was quite familiar to Ye Feng, his demeanor was the same as those lackeys who thought highly of themselves.
Ye Feng laughed to himself and turned around, ignoring the other party.
During this process, he did not make much eye contact with Tiffany, but that did not matter. The auction would last for some time, unless Kevin Miller paid attention to him all the time, he could not ‘interrupt’ his eye contact with Tiffany later.
“Brother, you know the people from the Miller clan?” The person beside also noticed Ye Feng’s gaze and looked up as well.
After seeing that they were the members of the Miller clan, he retracted his gaze and asked Ye Feng after seeing that he had looked away.
He did not know about the intense killing intent between Ye Feng and Kevin Miller, otherwise, he would not even dare to talk to him.
“In a way, I know them. We’ve heard of each other, but this is our first time meeting in real life.” Ye Feng smiled plainly but did not explain more.
“Brother, to think that the Miller clan actually knows about you, you must not be a simple person.” The person was quite surprised but he lowered his voice and said: “Are you an important person in the Blacksmith Guild?”
“No, I am not.” Ye Feng shook his head, replying: “I came from afar, I am not from the Blacksmith Guild. But now that you mentioned it, I do need to go to the Blacksmith Guild to take the examination.”
When Ye Feng first succeeded in forging, he had undergone the examination and became a stage two Blacksmith officially, but he had not updated it since.
After all, Aden City’s Blacksmith Guild was not impressive and could not give him much benefit. He was capable enough on his own, nobody in Aden City or the City of Chaos did not know who he was.
But in the Capital City, he could go to the Blacksmith Guild for an examination, there seemed to be a lot of benefits in doing so.
“You are not from the Capital City?” He asked before praising: “That’s even more impressive, someone from outside the Capital City actually gained the attention of the Miller clan.”
He did not ask about Ye Feng’s level as a Blacksmith since this was their first encounter. He had praised Ye Feng earlier as well, if Ye Feng was not an impressive Blacksmith, it would get quite awkward.
He was not someone who would get awkward and could still talk but Ye Feng might get embarrassed.
Although he felt that Ye Feng was an amazing person, from their conversation, Ye Feng did not show any poor qualities, they had a pleasant talk.
“No, it’s nothing.” Ye Feng replied before asking the person: “Is the Miller clan very influential in the Capital City?”
“You will know about this if you ask around.” The person nodded and explained: “The Miller clan is a large clan in the Capital City, if you can really become related to their clan members, you will make a fortune. I heard that the Miller clan’s young master is getting married soon.”
“This may be an opportunity to earn a sum…”
Towards the end, his voice became much softer. If Ye Feng was not concerned about the Miller clan’s situation, he might not have concentrated on hearing everything.
Ye Feng shook his head and stopped speaking, the auction had started already.
Although the auction had started, Ye Feng did not have the mood to care about the details.
Once in a while, he would turn around to look at Tiffany, but he was quite vigilant, he tried to avoid Kevin Miller’s gaze.
Right now, his advantage was that he was in the dark, he did not want the Miller clan to lock onto him so quickly.
Right now, he was staying in the Capital City, it was too easy for the influential force, Miller clan, to deal with him here. They did not even need to do anything personally, all they had to do was to frame him for some crime.
“Many forging materials appeared earlier, you don’t want them?” The person shook his head and sighed helplessly: “It feels like you’re here to watch a show, you did not even bid once.”
“There’s nothing that I want yet.” Ye Feng said in an awkward manner: “I don’t need to compete with them, it is a waste of time.”
His words contained half-truths: It was true that the materials were not useful, because his concentration was on Tiffany, it was indeed a waste of time to compete with them.
“The following item is a stage six material, desolate rhinoceros spine.”
Once the host said that, Ye Feng’s attention was immediately drawn.
“Are you interested in it?” The person immediately noticed Ye Feng’s reaction, he asked curiously.
At the same time, his evaluation of Ye Feng rose to a new level, someone who could buy and use a stage six material was not simple.
Even if he was just buying it, this still showed that Ye Feng was quite affluent.
“15000 gold coins!” Once the bidding started, Ye Feng became the first person to state his offer.
“16000 gold coins!”
“18000 gold coins!”
Bidding came incessantly, this material was much better than the stage six material that Ye Feng had obtained earlier, it could be used for many forging sessions. Because this was the Capital City, the price was higher than most places.
Soon, only two were left in the bid.
One of them was obviously Ye Feng.
“28000!”
The competitor was already anxious, he stood up and looked around.
In this auction, verbal threats were banned. The Capital City’s Auction House was much stronger than the ones Ye Feng had been to, they would not allow such actions that could affect their profits.
“29000!”
Ye Feng continued to bid, this auction was meant to have competition, he was not afraid of anyone.
The person beside Ye Feng tapped him and said in a low voice: “I know your competitor, you need to be careful of this person called Patrick, his uncle is a higher-up of the Blacksmith Guild.”
“I understand.” Ye Feng nodded subtly, seemingly because this Patrick was competing with him, Kevin Miller did not interfere in the bid.
Of course, Kevin Miller might be trying to save money as well.
In that case, Ye Feng had no worry. The only issue was that it was hard to compete with the Miller clan in terms of funds.
“33000!”
At this moment, Patrick had already found Ye Feng, he stared at the latter and stopped bidding.
Ye Feng raised the bid by 4000, it seemed to have exceeded Patrick’s limit.
“33000, going once.”
“33000, going twice.”
“33000, going thrice!”
“Sold!”
“Congratulations to this bidder, you have obtained the stage six material, desolate rhinoceros spine!”
