With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods
Chapter 1108 - 1108: Underground auction (1)“Did you hear about the Fox Hall’s announcement?”
“Right, do you believe that they actually have those things?”
“I’ve seen it when I visited them, so I can guarantee that it’s the truth. It’s just that they’ve said that they had something even better than what was being shown, that’s the part that I can’t trust.”
“Better? How could something be better than a Chimera’s fang? It’s clear that they’re just trying to show off at this point.”
“Right? It seems like the Fox Hall is just asking for trouble.”
When Lin Fan heard the chatter around him, there was a faint smile that appeared on his lips.
After all, he was the one that had caused this commotion in the first place with the items that he submitted to the Fox Hall.
That Fox Hall was the place that he had visited two days ago and threatened into holding this auction for him.
Everything that was done after that was the actions of Atticus, the handsome young master of the Fox Hall.
With the way that he acted, Lin Fan had thought that he was nothing more than the son of the owner. But in the end, it turned out that this Atticus was the actual owner of the Fox Hall.
For someone as young as him to be the owner, it was clear that he was doing this on behalf of some kind of family or some kind of power. He was most likely the one that had been sent to take care of this Fox Hall for them.
In that case, it seemed like Lin Fan had made an even better choice than he thought.
After all, if there was a power that was behind him that was manipulating things, then it would give even more credit to this auction. At the same time, that power would want to connect with the different factions of the Kalos Empire.
That would mean that they would invite the ones that he wanted to come the most to take part in the auction.
It wouldn’t be related to him, it would all be the Fox Hall taking care of everything.
Of course, there was still the risk that they would track him down as the supplier of these goods, but Lin Fan wasn’t worried about them tracking him. After all, he knew that it would be almost impossible for them to actually track him.
As long as he used his abilities, it would be hard for them to even catch a trace of him, let alone find him.
So Lin Fan wasn’t worried.
The only way that he would be caught was if they sent someone that shouldn’t be here to this place. Only if they sent someone that had reached the peak of their path would he be overpowered and caught.
That was why Lin Fan wasn’t worried.
Those people were too busy for an auction like this. At the same time, anyone that had reached the peak of their path would have pride that would accompany this.
They were not the kind of people that would come down to a place like this.
And even if they were, there was no doubt that they would do all that they could to hide their identities.
In short, there was no reason for Lin Fan to worry about them discovering him.
After listening for a bit, Lin Fan started picking out certain people to pay attention to.
These were people that didn’t really say much, but rather were listening to the crowd as well. These were people that were sitting in the corner of this bar and paying attention to what others said.
It was quite obvious that they were here to listen for information.
They were completely unlike Lin Fan who had sat down with a group and was chatting with them while he drank.
But of course, that was also the difference between Lin Fan and these people.
He was able to split his attention easily because he was a cultivator with a high level of cultivation. His mind was much more well trained compared to the others that he was able to split his attention without a single issue.
At the same time, what he was using was his spiritual sense to listen in on the other conversations.
Spiritual sense was something that was invisible to those from the magic continent, so they had no idea that they were even being eavesdropped on. That was why they continued to talk without holding back at all.
Most of the information that they discussed were things that Lin Fan already knew about.
It was only those people that were listening to others in the corner that had something that Lin Fan was interested in.
As he expected, these people were from the factions of the Kalos Empire. It wasn’t just a single faction that was represented here, it was all six factions that were represented by these cloaked figures.
Unlike before where there were only three factions that showed up, all of the factions showed up for this auction. That was because this time, it wasn’t an auction where they had to show who they were.
This time, it was an anonymous auction in the underground market.
Since that was the case, they could just hide themselves without a worry since that was what everyone else did in the first place.
Hiding themselves like this allowed them to operate more openly since they had the cover of anonymity to protect them.
And this was exactly what Lin Fan wanted to see.
The more that these six factions fought, the more intense the bidding war would be.
But at the same time, it meant that all six factions would be receiving some of the materials that he had smuggled into the Kalos Empire.
That was what they had wanted in the first place.
Since he had determined that all six of the factions had sent people to this auction, there was no need to listen any longer.
Lin Fan didn’t bother interfering with this auction since he didn’t care about how much unlike last time. This time, it was all about getting these materials into the hands of the six factions so that they would have them.
It wasn’t about taking their money and weakening them like that.
In fact, it was actually about taking as little money as possible.
While that might seem like it contradicted what he was doing, the truth was that it wasn’t cheap to turn these materials into weapons in the first place. To be able to turn the materials into weapons, a large amount of money was required as well.
So that was why it was fine if they took it for as little money as possible.
After all, they would be spending more than enough money to turn these things into weapons. Weapons that would be easily broken with a single thought from Lin Fan.
That was why it didn’t matter if they bought them for as cheaply as possible.
Everything was under his control.
The only thing that Lin Fan was worried about was if another power interfered with the auction.
While it would be hard for another power to interfere with an auction in the Kalos Empire, it wasn’t impossible since this was an underground auction. This meant that there could be people from other nations participating as well.
Since they were from another nation, it was completely possible that they would want to cause trouble for the Kalos Empire. That meant that they would try to take these materials from the Kalos Empire and bring them back to their own countries.
They would steal them from the Kalos Empire.
Though technically, it really wasn’t stealing since they were buying it for money.
So it was just that they were using the power of money to take away these things.
That went against the plans that Lin Fan had, so there was only one thing that he could do.
Going to another bar, Lin Fan started listening to the conversations that were around him. In particular, he was looking for a certain group of people.
After a while, Lin Fan finally found who he was looking for.
The moment that he did, he made sure to take note of their appearance and how they were hiding themselves. At the same time, he made sure to take out a talisman that recorded a few of the things that they were saying.
These were things that they didn’t want anyone to hear…
Once he was done, Lin Fan wasted no time in heading out of the bar and looked for an open space.
With the illusion spell, he was able to put the talisman down without a problem and then he left the area.
Once he was out of the area, Lin Fan waited a bit before activating the talisman.
“Do these people from the Kalos Empire even have an idea? They’re fools, they’ll never suspect that we’ve come to take what’s theirs.”
The moment that this voice rang out, everyone turned to look in a certain direction.
This was the direction of the exit to the bar.
At this moment, the group of three that were shown in the image saying this were walking out of the bar.
The moment that they saw this, they froze.
That was because it didn’t take long for them to be completely surrounded by the other people in the street.
With the way that they were surrounded, it was very clear what was about to happen.
So the only thing that they could do was…
“Run!”
