Lowest tier orbs can sell for a hundred thousand UD depending on its elent. But prices of the orbs increase geotrically. The next one, middle-tier orbs would start from 300k and would reach all the way to a million UD. High-tier orbs start with a couple of millions to all the way tens of millions UD. And pinnacle-tier orbs start from 50 million.
Lightning elental orbs are not rare, so their prices shouldnt be that high, and with the money I earn from this auction, I should be able to buy one or two strong orbs. Miles pondered silently.
He was expecting billions of revenue with this sale, but his dreams were crushed by cold reality. Who could guarantee that Marooner didnt have any other dual elental orbs? If he were to sell another just after this auction was over, wouldnt the party that spent billions look like a fool?
He needed a more expensive and cut edge technology workstation. He needed to buy orbs to experint with his ideas. There were many other things he wanted to buy, but unlucky for him, those things had to wait for the ti being.
After wearing the expensive-looking tuxedo rlin brought for him, Miles really felt better. The saying clothes made the man wasnt for nothing. The colors and style of the cloth were hundreds of tis better than what he was wearing earlier. And it was custom made for his size, unlike the rental one. It accentuated his steel-like muscles and figure. Even rlin clicked his tongue when he saw Miles and turned in defeat.
Tuxedo is a gift from Aunt Marie, rlin said as he removed a bracelet from the suitcase. This is my gift.
He opened the box and inside was an abyss black bracelet with dark blue stones. It looked majestic. Bracelets werent as common as before because wristwatches with AIs covering most of the arm, but on such occasions, so still like to wear one. And Miles had to admit it, it looked good.
Aunt Marie was the Cross family's carer. She had taken care of three children when they were small and would help in the house. She was old now and wouldnt work as much, and usually would stay in a small house in the mansion's backyard. She was fond of Miles, and Miles liked her dearly.
When Miles went there for the new year, she shed tears when she saw how poorly Miles was dressed. She was from the ti Cross surna was representing the empire, so she had pride in serving them. How could she accept a prince of the empire dressed so poorly?
Miles shook his head and looked at Rayen sitting across. How do I look? He asked.
As handso as ever, brother. Rayen smiled with a blush as she recorded Miles's handso visage in her mind.
I am handsor right, Rayen? rlin jumped in front of Miles and flaunted.
Do you want the truth or lie? Rayen asked with a little smile.
This little devil! rlins face froze for a second and turned to look at Miles, You are corrupting her! These words are yours, not hers!
Miles laughed loudly and went to pat Rayens head. That is my girl. Now, we are going. Be a good girl and study alright. I will co back as soon as I can. Miles said softly. He couldnt bring Rayen there for the ti being. There would be too many prying eyes.
Hmm. I will stay here and wait for you, brother. Rayen nodded cutely and sent the duo off. After locking the door, Miles left with rlin. When they arrived in front of the apartnt, Miless eyes were popping out of his head. There was a majestic car parked in front of his apartnt. The body of the car was tallic grey, and black stripes were running on the car. It was slender and looked like a cheetah ready to dash.
Not an orb? Miles looked at the car in surprise. After the portal world, regular cars werent as popular as before. Of course, automobile-type orbs were too rare, so cars were still in use, but most were flying types. Not many would still work on the ground. So Miles was surprised.
It is an old model car I unearthed in the dead world. The dead world was the world beyond walls filled with the walking dead. I quite liked it, so I brought it back. It was still working but I made so modifications. It can go up to 600 km/h.
Can I drive? Miles asked with his hands shaking with excitent. As much as the next person, he liked fast cars. Now that ground-type cars were rare, streets were empty all the ti. Miles had superhuman reflexes anyway. He could drive this monstrosity with ease.
Sure. rlin smiled. Miles was expecting a key throw, but well, that technology was outdated. After they entered the car, rlin asked Arthur to start the car. Miles, behind the wheels, adjusted his seat and geared. Car, just like a predator in waiting, dashed forward and reached 200 km/h in a short few seconds. Coin, path, Miles said as he took turns with the handbrake, and stepped on the throttle.
The car was shouting with full glory, and the lights outside turned into lines. The scenery was changing at a fast speed, while rlin was shaking his head with the childishness of Miles. In less than 10 minutes, the duo arrived in front of the auction house with the roaring beast, and Miles stopped the monster.
You go ahead and park it, I will find Quinn and join you. rlin said as he left the car, but before he left he stopped and said, Arthur, give Coin full authority over the car.
Done. A voice ca from rlins wrist as he left.
Miles looked at the street and people with weird eyes. He ignored them and looked for a place to park the car. Flying shuttles and cars with luxurious designs were coming one after another. So of the cars would fold into orb forms to be pocketed, while regular flying cars would be taken by valets to be parked. One such valet approached Miles, and Miles opened the window.
Em, sir? Valet asked nervously. Sorry for not being able to help you, but I dont know how to drive this car. Let ask if any of our colleagues know.
It is fine, I will park by myself. No one beside can drive it anyway. Miles answered and asked the guy to show him a place.
Thank you, sir. Valet relaxed visibly as he showed Miles a spot at the parking lot across the building, unlike parking garage valets were using. When Miles was passing by the valet, he reached out his wristwatch to tip the guy. Miles left the parking lot and walked in front of the auction house. He was looking for rlin and Quinn but he failed to see them. Instead, a jeering voice reached him.
