Return of the 10th Circle Archmage

Chapter 34 20. Record Break

“I will start with lot number 1.”

rumble!

Was it 10 minutes after all the lights in the auction house were turned off?

A single ray of pinned light illuminates the center of the podium in a circle.

Doo!

Along with the magnificent BGM, the lighting was again focused on the jewel on the podium at the auction house.

Before the auction starts, bidders have already received a list of items to be auctioned today. Ari and I looked at each other, checking the list of appraisal from the experts.

“We are the last.”

“It’s a highlight.”

Wash, week, no, second, green, male, bo.

There was only one diamond on Earth that had all seven colors.

It’s the Rainbow Diamond.

In the end, it was the highlight of today’s auction and the final king to decorate the grand finale.

Ahri’s eyes twinkled with excitement on her face.

In a black Lassol base suit that reveals her voluminous body, her hair neatly tied in a ponytail. Even the pink cheeks revealing light makeup.

Today she looked 10 times prettier than usual.

She was usually treated as an elf, and when she had the full set up properly, an aura that lightly crushed the women around her came out.

On the other hand, I wore the slim man-it suit that Ari bought. She was the suit she gave me, and she was the only one I had.

In addition to bidders like us, foreign journalists and auction officials were filling the seats.

“I am very excited to participate in Magnificent Jewels, a jewelry auction featuring the finest gems.”

With her reminded face, Ari murmured a little.

The two of us sat together like lovers and watched the auction with excitement.

“Today, I was informed by a Cresty official that our jewelry is the most anticipated entry.”

“Anyway, no matter how much money comes out, it’s a misfire in the end, isn’t it?”

“Shh!”

Ari lifted her index finger and brought it to my lips, her eyes flushed. It was a scolding face, but when her finger touched my lips, I felt a sense of ecstasy. An exhilarating thrill that climbs up the spine!

It didn’t really matter that my jewelry auction broke records today.

That she and her alone make such meaningful memories.

Isn’t that the most meaningful thing to me? To be honest, money is money, but being with like-minded people may be more valuable than money.

No matter how wealthy the president of a chaebol, can he create a sweet atmosphere like a lover alone with such a beautiful woman?

Instead of putting in tens of thousands of won every month, throwing away villas or luxury bags, and sponsoring them.

Really, with such a fluttering heart, how could you and the best beauty be able to breathe alone?

I have already been leisurely looking at the Magnificent Jewels with more enjoyment than the auction price.

It was a pleasure to watch as it was an auction where the finest jewels were exhibited among the Cresty auctions.Magnificent Jewels starts auctions starting with the lowest price of $100,000, and over 100 million won in Korean money. It meant that he wouldn’t even be able to deal with the precious gems below that.

It seemed like it would take several hours for our jewels to be priced in the hundreds of billions of won.

“105,000!”

“Yeah, it came out to $105,000. Do you have any more?”

Leiva, a broker in Black Market who signed a partnership with us yesterday. He also took part in the auction today. Ley Bare was taking part in her auction today, maintaining her poker face, wearing a white turban, white gown, and shaggy beard.

His only goal is to raise the Rainbow Diamond to the highest price.

After purchasing a few jewels with jjjjjal to increase their credibility, in the final auction, the rainbow diamond bids the highest price ever, making it impossible for others to even dare to auction.

That was our strategy with Leyba today.

“It sold for $105,000. The winning bidder is Leiva from Saudi Arabia! Applause everyone.”

The auction house began to drive the box office by diligently catching the wind from the low bid jewels. There were hurricanes that could not be compared to this sleeping behind them, but he shattered his soul at every moment and squeezed his voice in every entry with all his might.

Infected by his passion, many people rave about tens of thousands of dollars. Since the plates were laid out openly, the rich people who were overflowing with money could not open their wallets.

Click click, click click.

During the course of lot numbers 1 through 38, reporters diligently took pictures of the exhibited jewels.

Starting with colorless diamonds, low-priced diamonds such as orange diamonds, yellow diamonds, brown diamonds, and gems such as emeralds, sapphires, and rubies were first auctioned off.

A diamond that is the king of jewels and symbolizes eternal and immortal love.

Of course, the rarest diamonds were green, blue, red, and pink. Those four colors are only mined in very few mines around the world, and the amount is very small.

So, as soon as it came up at auction, it was sold out.

“Hmm······.”

I was last, so I had no choice but to suck my fingers and watch them. Had I known this would happen, would I have sold a few more fine jewels?

Ari watched the auction with an interesting face without losing concentration until more than two hours had passed since she was not tired.

Leyba also had a few bites with a transaction worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but now she was holding on to it indefinitely until Rainbow came out.

‘When do you come out, when do you come out……..’

The order of the rainbow diamond auction was Lot 59.

Today’s last auction and highlight.

Now, after crossing 9 more times, it’s our turn.

*

One more hour passed?

Nine auctions go fast, and it’s finally our turn.

“Uh… what should I do?”

Ari looked at me with a trembling voice. He had a pathetic face, like a hungry baby bird.

Whoops.

Seeing her pathetic face, she unknowingly raised her hand and stroked her cheek.

“No need to worry too much. Take it easy.”

“I’m still trembling. This is the first time such an auction has been held at the highest price.”

As she risked her life for her jewelry, today’s auction seemed to have a very special meaning.

Ari Jewelry Shop was originally founded by her mother. Her mother created a workshop named after her daughter, which soon developed from a small workshop into a jewelery shop. Although the scale has been greatly reduced now, the daughter’s passion still did not cool.

Ari, who inherited her mother’s family business to run a jewelry shop, became a gold medalist at the World Skills Olympics by honing her skills without playing and eating in the family business.

She was already flawless in her skills. However, she did not have a relationship with the highest-priced auction yet, so she remained as a small jewelry shop in Korea.

But now the opportunity has come.

A chance to make a name for yourself around the world through the auction of the highest price jewels.

“The highlight of the day. Only one diamond in the world! I will reveal the Rainbow Diamond right here, right now.”

Flutter!

The light of the tweezers that had been turned off was turned on again, and today’s last auction piece took off the veil.

“Wow!”

Click, click!

An all-time jewel that was unveiled amidst the surprise and excitement of the audience.

When the large 430 carat jewel with all seven colors was unveiled to the public, everyone looked at it as if possessed.

The jewel that the appraisers gave out before bidding was priced at a whopping 400 million dollars!

The jewel, which is likely to have an auction starting price of 400 billion won, sparkled in its beautiful form.

‘It was good to cast a charm spell.’

I smiled very contentedly as I saw everyone staring at me in a bewitched way.

yes it is

That’s enough to pull it off really well. Even though there will be a misfire at today’s auction, you will be able to get a full price at a later black market auction.

“Okay then, let’s start the auction of the lot number 59 rainbow diamond.”

“Oh oh······.”

Enjoying the crowds, the auctioneer shouted loudly.

“The starting price of the auction is the same as the assessed value, we will start at $400 million.”

“Ugh······!”

As expected, when 400 million dollars came out of the auctioneer’s mouth, everyone was astonished.

What is the name of a child with 400 billion won?

With that money, if you buy other assets, not jewels, you will receive unearned income every month to play and eat for the rest of your life.

Buildings, cars, land, apartments, shopping malls…

There is no harm in buying anything, but if you buy that jewel, it is only for ornamental purposes. There are wealthy people who live for finance, but it is impossible to get a monthly rent from that gem. Although it may increase in value due to its rarity.

“The asking price is ten million dollars. You can bid sequentially in increments of $10 million, and you can bid higher at a time. Well, if you don’t have any questions, let’s get started. Do you have 400 million dollars?”

“·················ogue.”

It was quiet as if the crowd had poured cold water on it.

Did 10 seconds of silence like a year pass?

“400 million dollars!”

The Middle Eastern royalty, who wore a turban like a Leiba, flashed a numbered sign. It was a picket that was received one at a time when entering as a bidder.

“Yeah, four hundred million dollars. Do you have 410 million dollars?”“410 million!”

“420 million!”

“430 million!”

Is it because of the magic of enchantment?

In the meantime, the wealthy people who watched with their breaths lifted up the pickets without any hesitation. They were really crazy.

However, the absolute quotation that dispelled all quotations was just the beginning.

“600 million dollars!!!”

“what?”

“Really?”

When someone raised a picket and shouted $600 million, all eyes of the auction house turned to him.

‘Leiba!’

Ari and I looked back at each other and smiled.

At $600 million, it was equivalent to bidding over 600 billion won in our own money.

“Do you have 610 million dollars?”

“·················ogue.”

there was no

“I will count. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 . . .”

10 seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

“Aren’t you? Then, I will hand over this rainbow diamond auction to Leyba. Anyone have any objections?”

“·················ogue.”

In the end, the auction, which was bid for $600 million, ended with a legend, breaking all records in the world jewelry auctions ever held.

Ari and I left the auction house with bewildered expressions, and soon had a long and long conversation with the auctioneer.

*

Newspapers and news all over the world have focused all attention and attention on this super-luxurious Cresty auction.

The unprecedented $600 million bid in history caused a lot of controversy, and the focus was on “Can a person named Leybar pay the full $600 million?”

Many people argued about his identity, emphasizing that he was not willing to pay.

Although he was a frequent participant in small and medium-sized jewelery auctions of hundreds of thousands of dollars, it was his first time participating in such auctions of hundreds of millions of dollars, and it was unknown whether he was able to pay enough.

– The bid for Rainbow Diamond has failed.

And after a week.

Cresty Auction House has made an official statement.

However, it was a moment when the world’s first rainbow diamond was clearly engraved in people’s minds.

*

“Finally, the invitation has arrived.”

Ari and I received a secret invitation from the Night Times Square hotel.

It was a blackmart invitation.

The world’s largest black market takes place in the shade, not the sun. After clearly announcing our existence at this Cresty auction, we finally set foot on this stage.
