Battle Through the Heavens: Exceptional Comprehension, Becomes Emperor at Ten Years Old

Chapter 24 Choices!

Jiahe and Yafei sat down in room number one, and soon after, a maid brought in tea.

Ya Fei's alluring voice whispered in Jia He's ear: "These past few days, I've gained considerable experience in auctions at both the Yellow and Profound levels. Now I'm the Chief Profound-level Auctioneer!"

"The real reason I came here this time is to observe the auctioning techniques of the family's chief auctioneer at the county level."

Gah looked at Ya Fei with some surprise and smiled, "What, there are different levels for auctioneers?"

Ya Fei chuckled, "Of course! Auctioneers of each level enjoy different treatment within their families. My dream is to become the Heavenly-level Chief Auctioneer, where the most precious items in the Grand Auction House will be sold through my hands!"

Gah looked at Yafei and said, "Oh? That's quite a dream. It seems you're very willing to strive for it!"

Ya Fei replied, "Of course! This is the goal I've strived for my entire life!"

"But you're still not reconciled, are you?" Gahe suddenly said.

Consort Ya was slightly taken aback, and looked at Jiahe with some confusion, asking, "What do you mean by that, Your Highness?"

Gah chuckled and said, "As far as I know, although the Mittel family is a business family, they treat cultivation talent and strength equally, right?"

"Even if you one day become a top-tier auctioneer, you can only go so far. Don't you want to become the patriarch of the Mittel family?" Gahe asked.

Ya Fei's expression suddenly changed, and she looked at Jia He with a solemn and serious expression, saying, "Your Highness, it's best to say less of this. The Mittel family naturally has its own rules of conduct when choosing a patriarch!"

Gah nodded and smiled, "Of course I know that, but ultimately, strength plays the biggest role, doesn't it?"

Ya Fei fell silent for a moment.

Gah continued, "You have high emotional intelligence, and you maintain a very good relationship with me, which proves that you hold a high position in interpersonal relationships!"

"Although you always greet everyone with a smile, you're actually quite difficult to get along with in private. It's not easy to approach you; Mu Zhan from the Mu family is a prime example!"

"But I must tell you that Mu Zhan is not the first, nor will he be the second. Even if you become the family's chief auctioneer, you still cannot become the patriarch if your strength is not up to par."

"If one day your family needs to win over a Dou Huang or even a Dou Zong level expert, and the price to pay is you, what do you think your family will do, and what should you do?" Jiahe's voice was gentle, yet it seemed to carry a kind of magic!

Ya Fei gradually fell into deep thought, and when she heard Jiahe's last words, her delicate body trembled slightly!

Ya Fei seemed to see the scene of her family sending her away to win over powerful people, and she would eventually be unable to resist; this was her fate!

Gah could sense the fear and trembling in Yafei's heart at that moment.

"If there were a way to free yourself from being controlled, would you choose it?" Jiahe asked Yafei.

Consort Ya, as if grasping at a straw, looked at Jiahe with fear and urgency, saying, "Your Highness, do you have a way? I don't want to become a puppet controlled by others!"

"We're friends, so I won't lie to you. I do have this method, but an exchange requires a bargaining chip. What's your chip?" Jiahe said calmly to Yafei.

Ya Fei was stunned. Right, where was her bargaining chip?

Snapped!

Just then, the gavel fell with a soft thud, and an auction item was successfully sold!

Consort Ya also came to her senses at this moment and looked at Jiahe, saying, "Whatever Your Highness desires, I will give you whatever I possess!"

Jiahe's eyes were clear, but when he looked at Yafei, there was a hint of aggression in them as he said, "Perhaps, you yourself are the bargaining chip!"

Ya Fei's face paled, and she looked at Jia He in disbelief.

Gah still smiled and said, "You can think about it. There's plenty of time, enough for you to consider it!"

Gah then turned his gaze to the auction stage.

The chief auctioneer looked at everyone present and slowly said, "Next, we will be auctioning the grand finale of this auction: a high-level Earth-rank Thunder Attribute Battle Skill: Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment!"

A dark blue scroll was brought out, and everyone at the auction held their breath.

A high-level Earth-rank combat skill sounds very attractive, but unfortunately, the auction price of this combat skill is too high, and there are not many people in the Northwest Continent who cultivate lightning attribute, and their strength is not strong!

Even if we manage to auction off this high-level Earth-rank combat skill, we probably won't be able to keep it!

"Ahem!" The chief auctioneer coughed lightly twice, then said, "This high-level Earth-rank combat technique has a minor flaw, but after testing in my auction house, it should be fine to learn!"

"This scroll of high-level Earth-rank lightning-attribute combat techniques currently only contains the first half, and its level is probably only considered low-level Earth-rank. However, if one is fortunate enough to find the second half, it could rival high-level Earth-rank combat techniques!"

Upon hearing this, many of the people who came to participate in the auction couldn't help but curse.

"What's going on? Isn't this a scam? The Mittel family would pull off something like this?"

"Exactly! This high-grade Earth rank has suddenly become low-grade Earth rank, it's lightning attribute, and it's missing half a scroll. How can it possibly be competitive anymore?"

Jiahe frowned slightly, then glanced at the somewhat dazed Yafei beside him and asked, "This fighting technique, is it only half a scroll?"

As Ya Fei gradually came to her senses, her gaze towards Jia He carried a hint of detachment.

Gah didn't care about these things. If she knew how to make choices, then Gah could help her. If she didn't, then Gah didn't need to waste his time.

"This cultivation technique is indeed only half a scroll, but the first half is enough for most people to cultivate!" Ya Fei said calmly.

Gah remained silent, while the auctioneer on stage announced the starting price for the combat technique: "Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment, starting price: four million gold coins, minimum increment: five hundred thousand gold coins!"

"Four and a half million gold coins!"

"Five million gold coins!"

Despite the high starting price and the fact that it was a lightning-attribute fighting skill, someone quickly raised the price even higher.

Low-level Earth-rank combat skills are generally worth between five and eight million gold coins.

This will depend on the attributes of the combat skill and the price that the participants in the auction are willing to pay. Perhaps someone is in urgent need, so it is not impossible for them to offer ten million gold coins!

The price quickly reached seven million gold coins!

At this point, there were basically no more bidders left, and the price was essentially set at seven million.

It's marketed as a high-level Earth-rank combat skill, but it's only half a scroll, so it can't be sold at a higher price.

"Eight million!" Gahe exclaimed.

Ya Fei looked at Jia He in surprise. She had only said it casually to Jia He, but she didn't expect that he would actually participate in the auction!

"Eight million gold coins, is there a higher price?" the auctioneer shouted.

However, there was no sound from the audience. Clearly, the price was beyond expectations, and there was no need to bid any further!

With the auctioneer's gavel falling, this lightning-attribute fighting technique was acquired by Gah for eight million gold coins!
