Why didn’t I think of this earlier? If I had this idea when picking the loot obtained from Minotaur, I would’ve chosen the heart instead of the horn. I wouldn’t have to work as hard as I was now and Solar would’ve been a bigger help to me. Well, it was lucky that I thought of it now. I didn’t think I was going to lose money.

-110 coins.Are there any more bids?

Madam Lanya’s voice echoed through the room. Her voice sounded like it was close even in the VIP room while Aidan’s mouth seemed to stretch from ear to ear. Was it that good that I spent money?

[Hey, you’re going to give my meal to that fireball...]

‘I will cook the reed tripe and mountain chain tripe later so please bear with it.’

[Cough. Then I’ll put up with it. However, remember to keep your promise.]

‘I understand. This guy.’

Fortunately, Mudur seemed calmer.He loved reed tripe and mountain chain tripe. Sigh. I didn’t want to imagine it.

-No more?If there isn’t a bid then the winner...Ah, there is one.It is 120 coins!

The first floor was buzzing the moment she spoke. Who the hell called 120 coins? I stared straight down through the large window. In the distance, I could see a man holding the number paddle in the middle of the audience. This guy...

It was a familiar back. He was turning his head this way. The moment I saw him, I laughed. “Hah, this truly is a fated relationship...”

“Huh? What did you say just now?" Aidan, who was watching from the side, asked and I mumbled, “Nothing. It seems I need to call for a higher bid. 121 coins.”

The man who was now looking up at me from the bottom was Supreme Fire Dragon. It was really a bad fate. Now we met at the auction house. It was sickening.

-The guest in the VIP room has bid 121 coins!

At the same time, the audience sitting in the seats of the first floor were noisy. Suddenly, I could feel a tremendous amount of attention from the bottom. All of them seemed to be wondering about me. I was really glad I was wearing a mask.

“Haha, this is interesting. I wonder how high it will go.” Aidan rubbed his chin like this was exciting.

I put my hand below my mask and stroked my beard. It was because I was also excited.

-130 coins!130 coins have come out!

Haha. Looking at this, Lanya’s voice was also excited. This situation seemed exciting for her. 130 coins was a pretty astronomical amount. It was $13 million. Well, I still had plenty of room to relax.

“131 coins.” Once again, Lanya’s voice rang out to say it was 131 coins. The auction gradually overheated as Supreme Fire Dragon and I competed. The two of us fought back and forth. The spectators were watching with excitement while Supreme Fire Dragon glared over here and muttered something to himself. It was a rotten look.

-1-140 coins!It is 140 coins!

Hmm, how did this guy have so much money? I had a moment of doubt. 140 coins was $14 million. I had felt it while playing the game—it was really hard to earn money. Still, I didn’t think deeply. Perhaps he got a lot of money because he stole other players’ items.

“141 coins.”

The auction house was a crucible of excitement. I could hear cries of ‘wow~’ coming from below. Just then, the conversation between Aidan and the staff members entered my ears. “Hey, what was the highest amount of coins bid at this auction house?”

“It was a second-grade Star Fruit with 500 coins.”

“Um. What is the second highest amount of coins bid?”

“It is a bit less crazy. I remember that it was probably 150 coins. It was a Star Piece that looked like an instrument. I remember that the nickname was probably ‘Demon Who Played the Heavens’.”

“Um. So we can look forward to updating it with a new record?”

“I think we can look forward to it.”

I listened to the conversation and was lost in thought. Demon Who Played the Heavens. I remembered that this was a second-grade constellation. It was from the Myo clan and they were given this nickname by playing heavenly music. The word ‘demon’ was attached because they liked drugs like a demon. I think it was catnip...

In any case, it was a guy with strong abilities.

-150 coins!It is 150 coins!This ties with the second highest coins bid record at our auction house.

Once the number 150 coins appeared on the electronic screen installed on the stage, camera flashes burst out everywhere. No way, there must be reporters here. This was bad. I needed to buy it and leave quickly. “151 coins.”

Dding-! The last digit on the electronic screen changed from 0 to 1. There was another huge burst of camera flashes. Groan. It was blinding. Didn’t this world have sunglasses? I vowed that I would definitely buy it if I had the chance.

-151 coins!Any more?151 coins.151 coins ~ 151 coins!Congratulations!

Lanya made an elegant gesture toward this place. Somehow, I became the one who bid the second highest amount of coins. I could see Supreme Fire Dragon venting his anger below me. Jerk. it was unseemly.

I smiled with satisfaction. “I want to get the item quickly.”

* * *

“Haha. I lost?”

"Wuhahaha! Reinhardt won!”

Damian and Reinhardt’s laughter could be heard. The two of them had made a bet the moment the bid for the heart had exceeded 130 coins. Damian bet that it wouldn’t exceed 150 coins and Reinhardt bet that it would. As one could easily see, it was Reinhardt’s victory.

“Damian is buying beer!”

“Che. It can’t be helped. A bet is a bet. Yes, I will treat you.”

“Hahaha! I’m looking forward to it!”

Reina stood up.

Reinhardt asked her, “Reina, where are you going?”

“Don’t I have to go on stage? My item sold and there are reporters here. I have to show them how I look in my dress~”

Once her thighs were slightly exposed, Reinhardt's eyes turned into ‘?’. He also got a nosebleed. It seemed to be a nosebleed he couldn’t control. Looking at the amount of blood shed, he seemed like a vampire.

“Hey, stop Reinhardt’s nosebleed first.”

Damian seemed accustomed to this and pulled a bandage out of his inventory like it was the most natural thing to do. Once Reina saw this, she waved and moved away. “In any case, stay here~ I’ll be right back~”

Reina headed straight to the stage. She was showered with bursts of white flashes. She posed naturally and gracefully like the actors at the Busan International Film Festival.

‘I wish I could get a commercial at this time.’

In fact, she had already starred in two commercials. She suddenly gained a large amount of money and started to spend it. Now all that remained was an empty balance.

‘The new shoes that were released a few days ago are beautiful...’

She posed a few times before turning around to see a masked man in the middle of the stage. It was the mask of a black wolf and he felt familiar for some reason. Next to him was a woman who looked pretty annoyed. Madam Lanya—there was the feeling of a rivalry the moment their eyes met.

“Ahem!” Reina coughed once and straightened her back. It was in order to look more voluminous.

‘I’m sure my eyes, nose, and mouth are better.’

She comforted herself as she saw Lanya. Then the man in front of her offered her a handshake. Reina smiled and shook his hand. In the midst of the numerous camera flashes, the masked man opened his mouth, “...It has been a while.”

It was a very dignified voice. It was clearly the voice of a middle-aged man who would look warm when he took off his mask. However, this wasn’t the important thing.

“Do you know me?”

“I do. We met a few days ago.”

Their conversation couldn’t be heard among the sound of countless flashes. Reina asked as carefully as possible, “You... are you a user, not an NPC? What do you mean by we’ve met before? This is the first time I’ve heard your voice.”

“Don’t try to know too much or you’ll get hurt.”

“...You’re too proud. Well, a man like this isn’t bad.”

The two people exchanged items. Reina handed over the blazing heart. The masked man gave her exactly 151 coins. The moment he released his hand, the camera flashes died down.

"I’ll see you again.”

Finally, the masked man left. The reporters followed but some soldiers appeared and stopped them. Reina looked back before returning to her seat.

‘Who is it...?’

She thought back to the dozens of men she met recently but there was no one with that voice. She thought about it again and that low voice was very sexy. It was almost her ideal type just based on the voice. Manly, handsome, and like a wild horse...

“Wuhahaha! Reina! Why are you so beautiful?”

In the distance, she could see Reinhardt waving his big arm, both his nostrils plugged up. The baldness particularly shone in the luminous light.

Reina sighed. “...It is a mess.”

* * *

It was a night where the cold winter air pierced deep into the lungs. A man walking through Fortren City screamed. His name was Supreme Fire Dragon. He was the man who, right before his eyes, had Minotaur’s Blazing Heart taken from him. “This! Damn! Damn! Daaaaaaamn!”

The NPCs and users around him screamed but Supreme Fire Dragon didn’t care. He was currently in a state of uncontrollable fury. He calmed down a bit and took a deep breath.

“Sigh. This is really XX.”

Obviously, today was a good day. He got an important contract with Aidan. He thought his day would end comfortably once he got Minotaur’s Blazing Heart. However, the end wasn’t good so it felt like his day had been shattered.

“Dammit, it is that bastard who got the jackpot. Uhhhh!”

In fact, he was going to secretly ambush that person to steal the heart. However, Aidan’s soldiers were all around the person, making it rather impossible. Supreme Fire Dragon returned to the bar where his siblings still remained. He went inside and saw that his brothers were still drinking.

‘These jerks...’

Supreme Fire Dragon saw his laughing and smiling brothers and suddenly became angry. He was having a hard time while they were just drinking.

“Hey, you jerks!” He screamed loudly and everyone’s eyes in the bar focused on him.

One Fire noticed and approached. Supreme Fire Dragon hit him on the back of the head.

“Ugh...”

“Go get the kids. These jerks.”

“Cough. Yes.”

One Fire yelled and all the brothers gathered outside. They were asked to gather and all their heads were lowered. Several NPCs were warily watching but Supreme Fire Dragon didn’t care.

“Hey, you bastards!

“Yes, Brother!”

Supreme Fire Dragon pulled out a daylily cigarette as he spoke. One Fire lit the cigarette and Supreme Fire Dragon spat out smoke.

“Sigh. Let’s go to work.”

“Who is the target?” One Fire asked and Supreme Fire Dragon replied, “It isn’t a who.”

“Huh?”

In fact, another thing was added to Aidan's request. Aidan said that extra money would be given if it was completed successfully.

“The target is Garbage Village.”

“Garbage Village? Garbage Village...”

“Tonight, we will destroy Garbage Village.”

This was the additional request from Aidan that Supreme Fire Dragon previously received.
