Chapter 236 Unnamed
"Although the big families and the six major pharmaceutical groups that we invited did not come, Death Gate academy and representatives from the other academies actually well-represented," reported Levlyn.
Briston was silent, still somewhat dissatisfied with the facts that she had just relayed to him. His goal was to make Tronic Mall famous, and for all humans to know that the enhanced Atomic Serum had first emerged from the Tronic Group.
"General Manager, it is time for the opening of the auction. Shall we begin?" Levlyn asked cautiously.
Briston sighed and said, "Let's begin. It's their loss, if they don't want to come."
He still believed in his heart that the enhanced Atomic Serum would cause a stir in Blue Swirl continent.
Those who were absent would surely regret it. Levlyn nodded and proceeded to prepare for the opening of the auction.
On the other side, Tyrion looked around at the huge space, which could fill tens of thousands of people, yet saw that less than a thousand seats were filled.
For every auction that Tronic Mall held in the past, the largest auction house they rented was for a maximum capacity of 1,000 people. Today, in order to increase the hype and publicity, they had deliberately rented an extremely big auction house. Unfortunately, the attendance was far less than they had anticipated.
At that moment, the opening music of the auction sounded. As it did so, the curtain opened and the auctioneer, Nicolas, took his place, while the merchandise began to roll out.
In order to maximize their advertising, Tronic Mall had rented a channel on the First Live Broadcast platform to broadcast the auction live. Although the top families, six great pharmaceutical groups, and top organizations and temples were not present, there would be a portion of them who would at least be watching the live broadcast.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDonald Pharmaceutical Group headquarters was in the State of Newtone, which was formed by more than 20 city-states, the Death Gate City being only one of them. Donson Don, the representative for the State of Newtone, had treated the invitation card that he received as trash, throwing it away immediately.
After all, there were so many small bases, just like the Death Gate Academy, spread all across the State of Newtone. Plus, Donson had a mountain of things to deal with every day, so he naturally had no time to attend an event held by such a small company.
However, the enhanced Atomic Serum that was released by the Tronic Mall was something that he did consider to be worthy of his time. A such, he decided to take a moment to watch the live broadcast.
Donald Pharmaceutical Group was one of the six major pharmaceutical groups and was also among the top 30 major enterprises in the Blue Swirl continent. Donald branched from a long line of ancestors, who were the first to discover and recreate the Atomic Serum. In fact, it was because of this that they had accumulated a strong foundation and became one of the largest pharmaceutical groups.
At its peak, the Donald family was one of the top 10 families in Blue Swirl, and Donald Pharmaceutical Group was among the top top 9 families in Blue Swirl. However, as the patent protection period passed, the fortune of the Donald family gradually declined. The ranking of the Donald Pharmaceutical then dropped to the top 30, alongside the other five major pharmaceutical groups.
They had been working on enhancing the Atomic Serum in an attempt to recreate their past glory. However, it was a pity that there was no progress, even after many years of big investments.

Many of Tronic Mall's competitors were also waiting for them to make fools of themselves, and to watch Tronic Mall's reputation be ruined once and for all.
Meanwhile, Tyrion did not think much about this, as even if a big corporation or a noble were to arrive, he'd not be able to recognize them. Tyrion only wanted to know how much the enhanced Atomic Serums could be auctioned for.
"Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, we sincerely thank you for attending Tronic Mall's auction…" Nicolas smiled as he said a few opening lines. "Now, let us take out our first auction item. This auction item is a Gold-tier sacred sword, taken from the Masa shrine Temole from the third dimension."
A Gold-tier sacred sword...
Tyrion could not maintain his expression, a Gold-tier was equivalent to Gold level dimension beasts, so finding such an item was rare! Just as Tyrion was shocked by the appearance of the Gold-tier sacred sword, a voice rang out suddenly.
"Cut the crap, you should know what we all came for today! Hurry up and take down this trashy item! You what we came here for, Don't waste our precious time."
Everyone's gaze swivelled toward the voice, which was coming from a huge man, who was wearing a spectacular golden suit. The virtual internet world allows people to change their appearances as they please, so the people here all looked like fantastic oddities of every description.
It was very disrespectful to interrupt someone this way, and under normal circumstances, this person would have been kicked out by Tronic Group. However, the guests invited today were all of respectable statuses and identities, so maintaining decorum and not becoming involved in conflict was very important to them.
Tyrion was perplexed, as a Gold-tier sacred sword was already a rare treasure, so he found it hard to imagine that there could be a more valuable item there today. On top of that, he was also curious as to what kind of treasure could turn a Gold-tier sacred sword to "trash" in comparison.
"Please sir, the auction has its own rules. If there is an item that you prefer, please wait for it to appear before making your bid," Nicolas said with a smile.
"I agree with Mr. Thomas from the Clara family that, other than that item from this auction, we won't consider the other items! So, you had better just take that item out now," a coquettish female chimed in.
