44 Peak Event

After Mike got the Fortune Cube in his hands, he simply handed it over to Yuna without a second thought. "Do you know anything about this white cube, Yuna? This item is still unknown even to the Horikiri Clan. But, obviously, this is no ordinary cube."

"Mm, I believe so too. I'm sure this item will be of use to us in the future." Yuna smiled to look at the white cube in her hand.

"Why are you so sure of that?" Mike felt a little clueless. If it was him, obviously, he wouldn't spend that much money on obscurity.

"I don't know, for no reason? I just believed it. Maybe, it's a woman's hunch?" Yuna wrapped the cube in a silk pouch and put it in her bag. Then, she handed it over to Kisa. "Please take care of this, Kisa."

"Understood, Ojou-sama." Kisa put the bag on her lap and held it. She made sure the Fortune Cube was still there, well-protected. No one could steal it from her.

"Well... If you say so. As long as you're happy, then it's fine." Mike scratched his cheek in slight surprise. He never understood women's hunches or anything. In addition, he also became more and more curious about that Fortune Cube.

The next item brought to the stage caught the attention of the majority of the audience, especially the young masters. They placed their bids as if no one wanted to lose until Murai finally won the bidding war at a high price.

Meanwhile, Mike was not at all interested in the item ending the session.

"Alright, that's the end of the second session. Allow us to prepare for five minutes before we enter into the peak event." Kannon waved his hand. He left with the maids from the stage and the curtain closed shortly after.

"Ara, why don't you have the slightest bit of interest in the treasure just now, Mike-sama? I can see that that treasure immediately gained a great interest among the other young masters." Kisa whispered with curiosity in her eyes.

"Mm, I also thought you would use your privilege to participate in the bidding war for that treasure." Yuna rested her cheek against her hand with curiosity in her eyes.

"If you think I'm going to waste eighty-eight million yen on the Invisible Seal, then you're wrong. That treasure might be beneficial to some people, but not to me. I believe in that." Mike smiled mysteriously. A recollection flashed through his mind to recall one of the seniors in his former sect.

"Why do you say that, Mike-sama? I would really appreciate it if you elaborate with us." Kisa became a bit astonished. She slowly began to realize that Mike was not so easy to understand.

"Hum-mm~ I'm also getting inquisitive as to why." Yuna subconsciously brought her face closer to Mike if the latter would answer in a whisper. She didn't want to miss anything.

"This is based on my knowledge and experience. I'll let you know when we get home." Mike put his index finger to the tip of Yuna's nose.

"Wha-what?" Yuna immediately backed away slightly with a blushed face. She didn't think that Mike would have the guts to do such a thing to her. Even so, she gave no other response than to sit quietly and wait for the peak event.

"Ufufu, Ojou-sama received a critical hit. It's super effective." Kisa giggled and covered her mouth.

"Sorry if that offended you. I only moved on impulse, Yuna." MIke misunderstood Yuna's sudden response.

"No, you don't have to apologize, Mike." Yuna slightly lowered her head. She started to think twice about what had happened to her.

After that, she fell silent, and Mike did too with a bit of awkwardness between them. However, Mike simply put the matter aside and glanced at the young masters around once more.

He needed to mark several individuals who had been spying on his group with possibly strange intentions.

Five minutes passed like nothing. Kannon, three maids, and one butler came onto the stage as the curtain opened again.

"We have arrived at the pinnacle of the auction specifically for the young generation. Allow me to introduce the first item, one of the most valuable and very hard to find." Kannon opened her palm to point at a silver box carried by a maid.

The moment the box lid was opened, a crystal stone with a purplish glow instantly gained everyone's attention and enthusiasm. It was definitely not an ordinary crystal, but rather the most precious one at the highest level!

"Yes, as you might expect. This violet crystal is a top-tier spirit stone of the highest quality. One of the best mediums that can boost your strength, talent, and ability to soar high into the sky.

This scarce resource was brought to you by the unnamed old master specifically for this young generation auction!" Kannon opened his arms wide as if to express something great.

"This five hundred gram 'Top-tier High-Quality Spirit Stone' starts at a value of one million yen. The multiple goes up by one hundred thousand yen. Please place your bids without hesitation, ladies and gentlemen." Kannon ended his speech by pointing his palm at the large monitor.

Mike opened his eyes wide, but it was only for a moment. He sat back casually as if he was no longer interested in anything for some apparent reason.

"Kisa, top-tier spirit stones are scarce. Do we need to enter a bidding war and bet a fortune on it at all cost?" Yuna's eyes gleamed to stare at the purple crystal.

"If you're not above the Golden Spirit Realm, I suggest skipping this resource. Oh, I mean, this resource is actually only meant for stage six or above. I can explain why if you want. But, for now, let's skip this top-tier resource." Mike nudged Yuna's arm for attention and spoke in a whisper-like voice.

"Hum? Well, I trust you." Yuna tilted her head slightly with a clueless expression. Nevertheless, she just nodded at Mike and sat back quietly.

"Peace Lover, one hundred million yen!" Kannon announced the highest bidder who placed the bid that shot high from the initial price.

"Please do me a favor, Mighty-man-sama. We might be able to have a good relationship in the future." Minako smiled faintly at Mike.

For some reason, she couldn't help but think twice because even with her connections, she failed to get any info about Mike. With a face scan or just a name alone. Nothing at all, other than a clue that Mike was originally from America before coming to Japan.

There were only three possibilities: a hidden expert, the unknown rich expert, or just nobody with tons of money. Unfortunately, Minako could only believe that Mike was a talented hidden genius from an ultra-rich hidden family.

"Hmm? Suppose you mean for me not to compete with you for this top-tier spirit stone of the highest quality. In that case, you need not worry as I will not be fighting over this one with you, Peace Lover-sama. Feel free to place your bid at will, but the others may not budge on you." Mike gave a reassuring smile to Minako then glanced at the Austin group.

That group of young masters had the most likely to work together to bring home the two peak treasures.

"Murai-sama, one hundred and five million!" Kannon announced once again.

Some people chose to give up because it went straight into a nine-figure bid war and would probably go into ten.

"Ufufu, for that, you don't have to worry." Minako smirked softly and placed her bid again.
