Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Jack frowned, and a displeased expression appeared on his face. However, realising the voice came from the third floor, where only people of substantial background could stay, he calmed down and thought, 'It seems I won't be able to buy it now.'

Thinking this, he turned toward Janice. However, before he could say anything, Janice covered her mouth with her hand and giggled, "I think sir Jack should refrain from bidding now. Although it's within the rules that everyone could bid as long as they have money, I believe it won't bode well if sir Jack infuriates a guest from the third floor."

Jack was immediately infuriated upon hearing this. He scoffed coldly and said, "It doesn't matter who they are. I'll bid and win this egg for you for sure. If it infuriates them, they are welcome to try me."

'Heh, such a simple-minded fool. No way in hell would I marry this guy.' Janice smirked inwardly but put on a slightly worried look and pretended to dissuade him, "But Sir Jack..."

"It's alright, miss Janice. Since I said I'll gift this egg to you, it means I'll do it. You don't have to worry. Dalton family isn't to be trifled with." Jack proudly proclaimed and proceeded to bid, "130,000 Mana stones!"

Seeing this, two of the three people standing behind him frowned and had displeased expressions as they glanced at Janice. As bystanders, they could clearly see how she goaded him to bid.

However, no matter how displeased they were, they didn't dare say anything about it in case they offended her. Janice was from the Arasia family, which was one of the four strongest families after the royal family. Although the Dalton family was also considered quite strong, they were incomparable to giants like the Arasia family.

Moreover, It was said that the Arasia family in the Green leaf kingdom was only a branch family, exiled from the main family that was said to reside in the central plains. Although it was exiled and the main family didn't care for them, no one, including the royal family, dared provoke them without a good reason.

...

In-room number 2, Max frowned when he heard someone outbid him. He had made the bid of 125,000 stones, thinking that both contenders would back out and won't bid anymore. However, he didn't expect someone new to pop up just when he thought the egg was his.

'It seems I would need to spend some more stones.' He smiled bitterly and got ready to bid more.

"Damn it. Who is it? Why did he have to raise the bid?" Leticia wore a displeased expression. She had thought if they could buy the egg in just 125,000, maybe they would have enough Mana stones, after selling the spell, to bid for spirit fruits. However, now with someone new vying for the egg, the price was sure to increase.

"I think this voice came from the same room as that woman who was bidding until now. They seem to be adamant about buying it." Rima chimed in with a slight frown.

Seeing their expressions, Max didn't know what to say. So he didn't bother with it, injected his Mana into the armrest and raised the bid, "135,000!"

It wasn't long before Jack also raised the bid, "140,000!"

"150,000!" Max was getting impatient, so he raised the bid by 10,000 in one go.

"160,000!" However, the other party also didn't back out, and he, too, raised it by another 10,000.

'170,000!"

"180,000!"

"190,000!"

...

"This..." Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched the stakes getting higher by the second.

Siana was feeling the same. Just a moment ago, she thought the bid for 122,000 was good enough, and people here won't be willing to spend any more on this almost useless egg, but after just a few moments, the price had nearly doubled and was still rising without any signs of slowing down.

She then glanced at room number 2 and asked the people standing behind her, "If I'm not wrong, that non-elemental spell was given to us to auction by the guest in room number 2, right?"

"Yes, miss." An old Elvin lady immediately replied.

Siana nodded and thought, 'I'm sure he isn't a normal person since he was able to produce a spell as good as a grade-three elemental spell. I wonder if he has some method to hatch the egg since he is bidding so enthusiastically or wants it for collection's sake.'

As she thought this, her eyes gleamed with interest. She was the one who found this egg a long time ago when she was in the central plains. She had asked around and found it was from a high levelled beast.

However, no matter what she did or who she asked the help from, the egg didn't hatch. So, she kept it with her and eventually forgot about it.

When she returned to Ninam city, where she grew up, a few days ago and found out there was a lack of items for the auction in their auction house, she decided to give it away to make up the number. If it sold, it was good; if not, that was okay too. Now that someone was showing so much interest in it, she couldn't help but think of the 'impossible.'

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded in the auction hall, forcing her out of her thoughts, "230,000!"

In room 23, Jack had an exasperated look. He regretted talking big and trying to compete against Max to impress Janice. He came here on his family's behalf to buy the spirit fruits, and although the Dalton family was ridiculously rich in the Green leaf kingdom, he wasn't allowed to squander money willfully.

'Damn it. If that guy doesn't stop raising the bids, I think I'll have to use my Mana stones.' He gritted his teeth in frustration. However, when he looked at Janice, his eyes burned with desire, and he thought, 'It's worth it if this pushes me closer to her. I can't wait for the day when she is under me.'

Thinking this, he smiled at her and shouted, "250,000!"
