Chapter 64 - The Rare Flower (1/2)

The auctioneer also looked around for a minute as he waited to see if there was anyone with deeper pockets who was just really hungry for a fried Dorgon Egg, but as expected, even Raven had backed down from this bidding war so it need not even be said that nobody else dared to fight Hecathe either.

Hecathe smirked in satisfaction as he heard the silence that was followed by the auctioneer's announcement.

”T-then Ten trilled Lenix going once!”

”Master... You weren't kidding when you said you were the villain...” The Dorgon commented and Hecathe simply chuckled as he heard this.

”Going twice!”

Hecathe didn't expect anyone to place a higher bid and just as he had predicted, there was nobody desperate enough to waste away their money like that.

”Going thrice!” The auctioneer took a sharp breath in as he announced loudly and clearly, ”And sold!”

”The Dorgon Egg is now sold to the lovely gentleman sitting up in seat 17 for ten trillion Lenix!”

Everyone's eyes were on Hecathe now and Hecathe couldn't be least bothered about it as he continued to talk with the Dorgon Egg in a low volume, making it look as if he was talking to himself since nobody else could hear the Dorgon's voice.

”I feel like I did something useless,” Hecathe sighed dejectedly as he heard the auctioneer announcing that Hecathe had won the bid.

”Humans like you are scary,” The Dorgon commented and Hecathe could almost imagine the dorgon shuddering inside that egg as he said this.

”I should have just placed one trillion. It would have been enough and I would have been able to save a lot.”

”Are you saying that I'm not even worth your ten trillion useless human currency?!”

Hecathe unhesitantly nodded his head as he responded, ”It's a fact. The sooner you accept it, the better your life would be.”

”...”

”If you don't want to accept it, why don't you try to prove me wrong?” Hecathe simply questioned and didn't wait for an answer as he added, ”You can work and repay the money I spent on you.”

”What a cheapskate?! You want to ask the great emperor to repay you?! Haven't you ever heard about generosity? The more good you do, the bigger your heart is and the lesser risks you'll have of getting heart failure!”

Hecathe blinked in confusion as he slowly absorbed the Dorgon's words, ”You know... I might just want to buy you some books on biology after this... That's not how a heart works.”

”Hmph!”

”If you want to show that attitude, why don't you show it after you are done repaying me?” Hecathe clicked his tongue.
