Cursed Immortalitychapter 425: second star server auction (3)

"Just who in the world is this Anonymous1?" Lucy frowned begrudgingly as she looked at the result of the first auction post today.

She had also suffered a loss from this guy's hand the last time, so it was only natural she had tried to investigate his background.

She even thought that it was Nelsen, but in the end, Nelsen and Ellie showed their Anonymous IDs to Gunner and her, and they both had to do the same so that it won't cause any misunderstanding between them.

Furthermore, to capture or eliminate the Faceless Ancient, they all had to put their differences aside and work together. This goes as far as to use another Zodiac Oath Contract, so no one dared to play any tricks.

But truth be told, Lucy still held a pretty big grudge against Nelsen and Ellie after she lost the bet, and she hated Faceless Ancient's guts for that.

Yet, for a bigger picture, she had no choice but to work together. But in the end, they had yet to find even a tiny clue about his whereabouts. That guy was simply too elusive and hiding his tracks too well.

Not to mention, he was openly seeking partnerships, yet they were helpless to stop him, and even their own men failed to draw his attention. So, this change was also ruined.

Now the only way they could think of was to track the delivery locations. But it was far easier said than done since they couldn't interfere with the Destiny Star Corporation or put tails on them since it was impossible.

But there was still a way, and they needed to get a delivery first, but this hateful Anonymous1 was a thorn in their way. He just didn't want to give them way at all and made things difficult.

Not to mention, this guy has an unusually large amount of wealth, and Lucy could only think of about three people other than her and Nelsen who could have this much wealth.

But those people were already investigated by them. They used the Zodiac Oath Contract to make sure they weren't this Anonymous1 and even forbid them ever to take part in these auctions.

Yet, this bore little fruit, and even seeking Hallberg's support didn't do anything.

"It seems like; I have to go all out this time. That old pervert probably thought the same as well since he tried to interfere before…" Lucy muttered with a sharp glint in her eyes as she looked at the second post, which was about to conclude as well.

"Reaming Time before the Auction Post (NO.3) ends: 00H:00M:09S

"Current highest Bidder (Auction Post NO.3): Anonymous84322

"Bid from Anonymous84322: 49,000,500 ZC

Nelsen expressionlessly watched as the time continued to run thin on the second post of today's action. He also knew who this anonymous was because of their deal with this guy.

'According to our deal, we have to refrain from interfering with this Dark City's representative and let him have an atomic grenade. But Anonymous1 has really proven to be a nuisance. He won the first auction post again, and I'm sure the Chairman might be fuming right now.

'Let's see if he interferes with this one as well and let the dark city duke it out with him. Since they had shown their interest in Faceless Ancient, then they would not be backing down easily.

'I had to admit; this guy has really made things quite interesting since the day he had come. It's no longer bleak and boring anymore. I guess this is what it means; to have a formidable enemy is also a blessing. It can either pressure you to grow or crush you…' Nelsen pulled a strange twisted smile.

Right at this moment, at the last moment, a bid appeared just like before.

"Tsk, here he's again!" Nelsen clicked his tongue with relish.

"New Bid from Anonymous1: 50,000,000 ZC

"Post timer has been over; the 3 Bidding Announcements have been activated!

Hallberg had a pale expression with fury swirling in his bloodshot eyes as he was sitting in the throne hall in the presence of the Dark Marquise with other prominent figures like himself.

A large projection was showing the live footage of the auction going on the Ancient Artifact Industry Star Server.

"Who is this Anonymous1?" A giant figure roared in fury, sitting two seats away from Hallberg.

At this moment, in counter to Hallberg's bid, another bid was placed.

"New Bid from Anonymous1: 100,000,000 ZC

"T-this?!" Hallberg almost had a seizure as he looked toward the Dark Marquise with hesitation.

"Make it 200 million." Dark Marquise's impassive voice rang as if that amount of petty change.

Hallberg gulped as he didn't dare to question and place the bid.

"You (Great Hallberg) Server Anonymous ID (Anonymous84322) has made a new bid: 200,000,000 ZC on Star Sever: Ancient Artifact Industry Auction Post NO.3"

The same bid appeared on the screen, and then the announcements started as everyone looked at them with dry throats.

"Final Bid 200 Million ZC going once…

"Final Bid 200 Million ZC going twice…

"Anonymous1 outbid you. New Bid on Star Sever: Ancient Artifact Industry Auction Post NO.3: 250,000,000 ZC"

"Absurd bastard!" The giant figure smacked the handle of his chair in a fury and blasted it apart.

Even Hallberg was having a hard time believing that a single item had reached such an absurd price. He wanted to give up, but a dismissive voice rang at this moment.

"Make it 500 Million."

Everyone looked at the Dark Marquise in unison.

"Milord, this is not worth it! There is still one more item!" A voluptuous figure sitting at the very front quickly advises.

"Do I need to repeat myself?" Dark Marquise coolly questioned.

Everyone was speechless, but they didn't say anymore since they knew the Dark Marquise wasn't something they could order around, especially once he made up his mind.

Hallberg, with a trembling hand, placed the bid he was told.

"You (Great Hallberg) Server Anonymous ID (Anonymous84322) has made a new bid: 500,000,000 ZC on Star Sever: Ancient Artifact Industry Auction Post NO.3"

"Final Bid 500 Million ZC going once…

"Final Bid 500 Million ZC going twice…

At this point, everyone was holding their breath, not only them but everyone watching in the Epic Plains. They all wondered if Anonymous1 would strike again.

"Final Bid 500 Million ZC going thrice…"
