Not even a second later as both were prepared, William delivered the message.

"Now We Strike"

Adam and Carl hearing it took a moment to understand their situation before looking at each other and giving a understanding nod as Carl asked.

"We are finally going to bid for the sword?"

"Yes"

"How much do I bid then?" Adam asked.

"How much is the current bid?"

Adam didn\'t take a moment as he answered, "450 Billion. It\'s at 450 Billion Dollar right now."

"And how much did the price increase from the previous bid?"

"By a 100 Billion"

"Hmm" William nodded as he thought about it for a moment before replying, "Then bid 550 Billion Dollars."

Adam, Carl and also Delmar was shocked as they heard the astronomical amount.

Delmar couldn\'t stop his curiosity as he ended up asking, "Are you sure boss? That\'s a 100 Billion Dollar increase."

William nodded as he explained, "We need to put a strong front if we want to get acknowledged by those people out there. Otherwise we would be like the one\'s in the auction hall who can only scream out their outrage in silent tones."

Delmar understood what he meant but he still said, "I get what you are getting at boss, But if the price of the bid increased like this in every bid then it would quickly eat away our finances."

"And without the money" Delmar leaned in closer to his ear, "How are we going to pay this people and more importantly… How are you going to pay me?"

"You don\'t have to worry about my money being emptied so quickly. I still have some money stored away that I can get anytime I want but" William looked at skeptically and said, "Why are you worried about your pay? Didn\'t I already pay for the whole year!"

Delmar smiled cheekily as he said, "Just thinking about the future boss, Don\'t want you to get worried over paying for someone as low as me."

\'Yeah right\'

William thought skeptically before turning his attention back to the screen, "Any other questions?"

Carl thought for a moment before asking, "What about the amount of money we increase in each bid? 100 Million, 1 Billion or 10 Billion."

"Hmm… Go for 100 Billion in each bid."

His words surprised the trio again as they didn\'t know what to say, But Adam thought about something as his face darkened.

"Doing that would bring us some problems."

"What problems?"

"First of all, Attention. I know that you are not worried about it as the sword will bring a lot of attention itself but increasing the price in each bid by 100 Billion will bring us a lot more attention.

Attention that might bring you troubles that won\'t just be vocal. Might become physical enough to warrant big caution."

William nodded towards his words and said, "Next problem"

Adam continued on from where he left off, "Second is the biggest problem you might get."

"The Great Houses"

Except for Carl, all of them knew where he was getting at. But for the sake of the guy who kept looking at him with a look that said \'Bestow some knowledge to me\', Adam had to explain.

"The Great Houses might take our increasing of such high amount as a challenge and might even further the price. If that\'s not the problem then, they might hold a grudge of you and will harm you when they get a chance.

Even if they don\'t do it on the surface, they will surely do it when you are at your weakest or at an opportune time."

William nodded again and stayed quiet as he didn\'t have any solution to those questions. Not hearing any sound coming from the earplugs made both Adam and Carl know that their new boss was either stumped or thinking about the situation.

Seeing that the boss wasn\'t able to find any solution, Delmar searched for one and remembered something as he spoke, drawing the attention of all.

"I don\'t know what we can do about the first one but I may have a solution for the second one."

William immediately beamed up as he said, "Oh! You do, Say it."

Delmar looked at the screen and at his surroundings before saying it to him, "I can\'t say the details to you right now."

William understood where he was getting at before remembering a past conversation and asking, "Is it about that thing about the auction?"

Delmar nodded, "Yes, All I can tell you right now is if the thing goes well then we won\'t have to worry about the great houses for some time."

William nodded before he said, "You heard him, guys. Start the bid."

Adam smiled as he raised his table number and didn\'t wait for Nigel to pick him as he said loudly, "550 Billion Dollars!"

The crowd and even Nigel seemed to look at both sides of the second floor to see who it was to call out the number but didn\'t find any.

As Nigel kept on looking, suddenly his eyes caught a brief glance of someone waving their table number so he looked at it and went quiet.

Nigel was silent a while before giving a crazy smile as he spoke louder than ever and said, "TABLE 69 FOR 550 BILLION DOLLARS EVERYBODY"

The crowd that was searching for the great house were stumped when they heard what Nigel said as they looked at second row to see the number 69 being shown in the air.

Besides the people in the front row, all other guests in the hall went quiet for a moment before they all said in unison, "WHAT!"

But Nigel didn\'t answer them and only just smiled shadily as he looked at Adam with a glint in his eyes.

The ones in the front row were shocked too but they were quickly able to control that emotion and all had thoughts similar to \'What an interesting development\'.

But Room 14… Room 14 did not take it lightly.

[ In Room 14 on the Second Floor ]

In a luxurious room filled with many refreshments and other entertainment facilities sat a man with a gorgeous young women beside him.

The man had a height of 5.5 foot with good looks on him and clothes that spoke of how high he was in position.

This man was Fraic Freiggart, House Master of the Freiggart Great House. He had came here especially for the Broken Heaven Sword. There was that other thing too but he didn\'t have the finances nor enough power to take such a fall.

Right now he had just said his bid which started at 450 Billion Dollars. A 100 Billion increase then the previous bid.

He did this because he wanted to show to the peasants that kept on barking for a long time to quiet down but it seemed to have the opposite effect. But that did not anger him as it was all in good humor.

He felt quite happy at the moment with a girl in his arms and the murmurs of lower subjects but that was immediately shattered the moment he heard this.

"550 Billion Dollars!"
