“Third Princess, I have my ways to get this thing, so you don’t have to spend so much money on it,” a young man
on the side said.
“That’s right, my dear sister. We can give something else if we can’t get this. My dad’s latest research results this
year are pretty good.”
Seeing that Ayana’s bidding had slowed down, Philip held on relentlessly and finally won the goggles at 644,000 star
dollars.
Philip felt a pang of heartache. He did not expect to spend so much for such a gadget.
The crowd below had watched a good bidding war between two distinguished guests in the private rooms fighting
over a gadget, and various rumors spread out quickly.

effects, and a few people with a discerning eye kept increasing the prices, which Philip was happy to see.
“The Five-Element Herb, due to the power of five elements, can’t be absorbed by people. But if you plant it in your
room, it can harmonize the five elements and balance the effects. The Five-Element Herb is very rare and can only
grow in places where the five elements are in balance…”
“We have ten Five-Element Herbs here, so the starting price is 500,000 star dollars, and every bid’s increment can
be no less than 10,000 star dollars.”
The Five-Element Herbs were quite popular among some businessmen, which could be used to adjust the
environment for luck.
Philip wanted to see if he could absorb them.
Fortunately, after some struggles, Philip finally got them for 1.3 million star dollars.
The final item on auction was a powerful spirit beast with a closing bid of nearly 100 million star dollars.
Philip went backstage, ready to take the items he auctioned for and the money he got from putting his items up for
auction. He happened to see the businessman asking a few people to pull the cloth-covered cart.
The businessman was not very concerned about the envious or jealous eyes of others.
“Sir, the things you brought were sold for a total of 30.4 million. Our auction house charges a handling fee of 9%, so
your balance is 27.664 million star dollars.”
“You may deduct the amount for the items that I bid for,” Philip said.
“Okay, one item is 664,000, and the other is 1.3 million, so your balance is 25.7 million star dollars.”
As he said that, the manager transferred the star dollars to Philip’s communicator. Then, the manager took out a
platinum gold card and handed it to Philip.

He said, “Sir, you’re now a VIP of our auction house. Every month, you’ll have a quota of 100,000 star dollars to
spend in our auction house.”
After taking the card, Philip casually threw it into the ring before saying his thanks. He had no idea how many times
he could come to this auction house.
Philip got his two items and walked outside, cursing the auction house inwardly for deducting so much in one go.
As Philip walked out the door and was just about to get in the car, he smelled the faint stench of blood and salty sea
in the air.
Following this scent, Philip came to an alley in a slum not far away. Those people helping the rich man to pull the
cart before were now lying on the ground. It was not apparent if they were still alive.
A large hover car was parked in front with its headlights on. Philip stepped forward softly, opened the door, and
found the rich man dead on the luxurious seat.
He was disemboweled and died tragically. There was no sign of the mermaid.
Philip was about to leave when he heard the splashing sound of water from the roof.
