HP: Embrace the Darkness
Chapter 48 Underground Auction (Part )
The waiter in Box 3 became even more excited when he saw this. You should know that the price he quoted was subject to commission.
He quickly shouted: "The bid for box number three is 37 million."
The box on the other side was quiet for a moment. The waiter walked into the box, seemed to be asking, then walked out again, and then quoted:
"Thirty-eight million on the 9th."
Upon seeing this, the waiter on Aces' side continued to quote:
"The bid for box number three is 40 million."
The scene was quiet for a moment and then started to boil over, forty million gold galleons.
As Asses thought, 40 million was beyond everyone's budget.
The waiter in Box 9 announced that he would give up the bidding.
Debbie laughed so hard on the auction stage that she hit the auction hammer with joy on her face.
"make a deal!"
"Let us congratulate the customer in Box 3 for successfully photographing this precious moonstone."
The efficiency of the underground auction house is good.
Soon, an old man and a waiter holding a moonstone tray knocked on Ass's box.
After the old man came in, he looked at Asseth vaguely, and then asked the waiter to come forward.
The waiter stepped forward respectfully, placed the tray in front of Asseth, and handed over a settlement form.
"Mr. Ken, here is your settlement statement and the moonstone you bid for. Please take a look at it."
Aces glanced at the settlement form and made sure there were no problems before picking up the moonstone.
As soon as he got it, Asses was sure that this moonstone was indeed a rare treasure.
He looked at the moonstone in his hand with satisfaction and played with it casually.
Then he took out a card from his pocket and handed it to the old man.
This kind of card is specially made by Gringotts, and you can use it to receive a large amount of gold galleons. This card in Aces's hand can receive exactly 40 million.
The old man took the card, checked it carefully, and after confirming its authenticity, he respectfully led the waiter out of the box.
Aces looked at the moonstone in his hand thoughtfully.
Originally, according to his plan, he could leave after getting the moonstone.
But thinking of the chance encounter with Professor Snape, Artes knocked the moonstone in his hand and chose to stay.
The auction continues, and the next auction item is an extremely rare potion.
As Ass played with the moonstone in his hand, he wondered in his mind what Snape's goal was?
Could it be this magic potion?
Behind Asses, the waiter standing on one side looked at the moonstone turning in Asses' hands with fear.
Merlin! This is an auction item worth 40 million gold galleons. If it breaks, he will be responsible.
The waiter looked at Asseth's movements with tears in his eyes, silently praying that he would stop quickly.
Aces ignored the waiter's thoughts. He focused on the waiters who quoted prices for other boxes, trying to find Snape's box.
Aces originally didn't have much hope for this, but when a waiter's voice sounded, he strangely felt that it was that box.
In order to verify his idea, Asseth turned to the waiter behind him and said:
"Go and find out who the owner of the box who just bid is."
Seeing that the waiter made no move, Asseth narrowed his eyes.
"Don't say you can't do it. If you find out, these are all yours."
As he said this, Asseth took out a bag of gold galleons and placed it on the table.
When the waiter saw the gold galleons on the table, his eyes turned green. Most of their commissions would be deducted, but tips would not.
He decisively took the gold galleons on the table, bowed and exited the box.
The waiter was very fast, and there were many people bidding for the potion.
Before the bidding was over, the waiter came back with the news.
He came to Asseth, leaned over and said respectfully:
"The box you just bid on is Box 13, and inside is the Potions Master Severus Snape."
After getting the answer he wanted, Asses stopped making any sound and watched the bidding quietly.
The bidding at this time has come to an end, and there are only two boxes left for bidding, one of which is Snape's box.
As the bidding on Snape's box continued, the owner of the other box seemed a little impatient and called the waiter in. When the waiter came out, he directly raised the price by five million.
In Box 13, Snape's brows were knitted together.
The gold galleons he brought were not too much. In addition, he had just purchased a large amount of medicinal materials, and the gold galleons he had now was no longer enough to support his continued bidding.
Moreover, the price of this herb has exceeded his expectation.
Soon, he concluded, it wasn't worth it.
But he was still a little unwilling. The high-end magic potion he was brewing now only needed this herb.
If you miss this herb, you will have to start all over again.
Snape thought for a moment and turned through the things he was carrying.
He didn't have the habit of carrying expensive potions with him, he only carried common potions.
In desperation, he had no choice but to give up the bidding.
Thinking of the potions that had to be brewed again and the materials that were wasted, Snape felt bad.
His face was ugly, and he waved his hand impatiently to reject the waiter's inquiry about increasing the price.
Box No. 13 gave up the bidding.
In Box 3, Artes raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard that Box 13 gave up the bidding. He thought for a moment, and then called the waiter to give him some instructions.
Seeing that Box 13 gave up bidding, Debbie on the auction table immediately raised the auction hammer and prepared to set the price.
At this time, a voice came out.
"The bid for box number three is ten million."
It's Ace's box number three.
After all, it’s his dean’s job, so it’s easy.
Asseth, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at Debbie on the auction table with an expressionless expression.
Debbie opened her eyes wide in surprise and spoke excitedly:
"The price for box number three is 10 million. Is there anyone who wants to increase the price?"
The scene was silent. They saw the financial resources of Box 3, and naturally they would not bid against its owner without overestimating their capabilities.
When no one responded, Debbie decisively hit the auction hammer.
"Deal, congratulations on finding our favorite box No. 3."
Soon, the same old man and the waiter knocked on the door of box three again.
In the box, the waiter stepped forward to open the door of the box and welcomed the two people in.
Still following the familiar process, Aces took over the herbs and carefully inspected them. After confirming the medicinal properties of the herbs, he delivered the gold Galleons.
After the old man got the money, he was ready to leave.
Aces suddenly stopped him.
"Wait a moment."
The old man stopped in response and looked at Asseth, waiting for his instructions.
Aces pushed the box in his hand and said:
"Give this to the owner of Box 13."
Hearing this, the old man glanced at Asseth curiously, but still didn't ask any more questions.
He waved to the waiter behind him to pick up the box, turned around and walked towards Box 13.
