“Dallas Moneylender isn’t afraid of Viper’s Den? How much are they taking?” Kaze was furious. Dallas Moneylender was an underground money laundering organization and theoretically, they should be afraid of the Viper’s Den, one of the official authorities. Viper’s Den’s main responsibility was to control the underground factions across the country. It was not exaggerating to say that Viper’s Den was Dallas Moneylender’s bane. However, since Dallas Moneylender prioritized profits and money, as long as they could reap sufficient reward from the auction, they might take the risk and hold the auction of the Nether Viper Sword. Kaze was curious how much Dallas Moneylender was taking. Auction houses usually offer a certain percentage of commission from the final auction price. It was not fixed, so the number entirely depended on how high the bidding could go. “Mr. Chairman, Dallas Moneylender has been around for a hundred years, as long as the Viper’s Den. They have people all

On the second day, the auction proceeded as planned. After Kaze sent Darcy off to work, he strolled back to the entrance of Skylar View District. “Brother!” Conan, who had been waiting since early in the morning, came over attentively. Kaze glanced at him and asked, “How’s your hand?” “Nothing to worry about.” Conan smiled and waved his hand around to show that he was fine. Kaze nodded. “Come on, let’s go get your revenge.” He had gotten news that Magnus left West State last night and had already arrived at South River State. The upcoming auction would surely be a party. Dallas Moneylender rented the exhibition center for the auction, which was the same place where Rove held their investment auction. Kaze did not grant any backdoor access to Dallas Moneylender to rent the place, nor did he inform the city council about the auction. Even though Dallas Moneylender Lilyrose Branch had been eliminated, their influence in the city remained strong. Given how strong

Kaze put the Nether Viper Sword away and said, “Since Conan started it, I’ll let you off the hook this time. There won’t be a next.” “Hmph!” Ruth grunted coldly but dared not continue the argument with Kaze. She was no idiot. From the moment Kaze successfully ambushed her, she knew she was no match for him. She knew Kaze defeated Hannah and two teams of Viper’s Den’s agents. She was skeptical at first but after the brief encounter, she was forced to accept the fact. Kaze ignored the young woman. He was not trying to be arrogant or overprotective of his followers, but because the auction would be flooded with people from different factions. It was necessary to ensure his and Conan’s safety. Ruth was from the Dragon’s Nest, so it was almost certain that the Wolf’s Den and Tiger’s Cave would also send representatives over. After all, it was uncommon to see Viper’s Den in shame. Based on how fierce and rude Ruth was to Conan, it was no surprise that people from the four

After Honey’s introductory speech, the auction staff brought the Nether Viper Sword on stage. The auction also arranged for some experts to demonstrate the sharpness of the sword by performing a few moves on stage, cutting wooden planks, iron rods, and whatnot. The crowd was in awe of the sword’s sharpness. As expected of the sacred weapon of the Viper’s Den. Despite it being a replica, it possessed unparalleled sharpness and power. However, only the amateurs were impressed by the demonstrations. People like Ruth, Sol, and the others were calm and quiet, simply waiting for the auction to start. They knew how strong the Nether Viper Sword was. In fact, each organization had their own sacred weapon. They would not attend the auction if they were solely after the sword’s sharpness and power. After the demonstration, Honey officially started the bidding. She said, “Now let us start today’s auction. Allow me to state the rules first. “The starting price for the Nether

Right after Sirius’ words subsided, everyone looked at Kaze. They heard it was Kaze who cut off Sirius’ arm with the Nether Viper Sword. Now that the rumor had been validated, it explained Sirius’ resentment toward Kaze. He was willing to spend a fortune to bid for the Nether Viper Sword just so he could use it to kill Kaze for revenge. The brief confrontation pressured even Conan, yet Kaze remained nonchalant. He smiled at Sirius and said, “Then it’s going to be costly. You are spending a few billions just to kill me.” Sirius scoffed and said, “I can get it back when I take you and your wife’s company. Their combined assets would be enough to buy a few Nether Viper Swords.” The meaning of his words was self-explanatory. After killing Kaze, Sirius planned to take Kaze and Darcy’s companies to cover the cost of the sword. “We’ll see if you can win the sword,” Kaze said with a hint of fierceness in his eyes. Sirius sat down and then said, “Auctioneer, you may continue
