Chapter 169 Sherry Yusei
Chapter 169 Sherry Yusei
"I must obtain Ogre Slayer to slay that evil spirit, otherwise, I'll be tormented by that evil spirit for the rest of my life, and this world will also be harmed by that evil spirit!"
The veiled woman said these words and suddenly stood up, walking out of her seat.
With a light leap, she made a tinkling sound as her lithe figure landed under the spotlight of the auction house. She then gently removed the white veil from her face!
At the moment when everyone saw her true face, they were all stunned!
The woman was dressed in white like snow, her long hair cascading down her waist like a black waterfall!
She was standing barefoot, and a small bell tied to her left ankle occasionally emitted a crisp tinkling sound!
Her beauty was exceptionally incredible!
Flawless features, pure and lively eyes, she was like the most perfect work of art created by the Maker!
Furthermore, her ethereal and elegant temperament, sacred and noble, was unattainable and out of place in this mundane world, like a celestial maiden fallen from the divine realm, completely incongruous with the earthly realm!
Everyone present was deeply moved by her beauty!
The entire auction venue fell silent!
"Sir, Ogre Slayer may be of little use to you, but it can slay a demon for me. Therefore, I implore you to recede and let me have the Ogre Slayer!"
The woman spoke, and although her English was awkward, her voice was soft and pleasant, like celestial music!
These words were directed at Alonzo.
She was short of means, yet she had to obtain Ogre Slayer, so she had no choice but to plead.
At this moment, even Alonzo, the playboy who had seen countless beauties, was stunned by the woman's appearance and demeanor.
He stood still, completely entranced!
"You are Divine Maiden Sherry Yusei, aren't you? I am your most devout follower!"
At this moment, Kelly Fisher, who was behind Alonzo, recognized the woman's identity and spoke in Jadian, his voice trembling.
The woman in front of him was none other than Divine Maiden Sherry Yusei of the Snow Temple, the holiest place in Jadia. She was believed to be the living Buddha reincarnated and the object of worship for all Jadian believers!
Then she knelt down, devoutly and without rising for a long time!
Because he was also a follower of the Divine Maiden!
"Since you are both from Jadia and my devout followers, you should not compete with me for Ogre Slayer! Buddha entrusted a dream to me, saying that I am entangled with an evil spirit, and this evil
spirit will harm the world and defile my body. Only Ogre Slayer can slay the evil spirit and purify my body and the world!" Sherry Yusei also spoke in Jadian.
Hearing Sherry Yusei's words, Kelly Fisher knelt down and turned to Alonzo. "Mr. Garza, please give up bidding for Ogre Slayer and give it to the Divine Maiden!"
As the most devout follower of the Divine Maiden, how could he compete with the Divine Maiden?
In the center of the auction, the beautiful hostess was getting anxious. She said to Sherry Yusei, "Miss Sherry Yusei, although you are our invited guest, you cannot disrupt the rules of the auction. Mr. Garza has already bid seven million dollars, and we will never lower the price below seven million dollars. If you really want to get Ogre Slayer, either raise the bid, or wait for Mr. Garza to obtain it and then negotiate with him!"
The way the auction made money was by taking a certain percentage of the final price.
The higher the bidding price, the more money they made!
So they would by no means let Sherry Yusei disrupt the market and lower the price!
Sherry Yusei couldn't help but furrow her brows, and even her furrowed brows were beautiful!
Just then, Alonzo finally came to his senses.
However, a lecherous smile appeared on his face!
"Beautiful Miss Sherry Yusei, it's absolutely no problem to give you a mere knife. As long as you agree, after the auction is over, we can have a late-night snack together. Ogre Slayer will be yours. I'll buy it for you, and I won't ask for a single penny from you!"
Sherry Yusei was too beautiful, the most elegant and exquisite woman he had ever met in his life. His soul was almost enchanted!
He had already decided that he must win this woman at all costs!
"Mr. Garza, you absolutely cannot disrespect the Divine Maiden. Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
Unexpectedly, just as he extended an invitation to Sherry Yusei, Kelly Fisher warned him fiercely.
His menacing gaze was filled with murderous intent, which took him aback.
"Kelly, are you out of your mind? You're only a servant of the Garza family, and you're talking to me like that? You know what consequences you may face?" Alonzo shouted angrily at Kelly Fisher, finally regaining his composure.
He had never expected that Kelly Fisher, who had always been loyal and well-behaved in front of him, would threaten to kill him. This was completely outrageous.
However, Kelly Fisher countered, "I may be a servant of the Garza family, but I'm also a follower of the Snow Temple. Life is nothing to me, compared with faith. Please, Young Master, show some restraint and do not utter blasphemy against the Divine Maiden!"
Working for the Garza family was just a means to make a living, while paying homage to the Snow Temple was the true destination of his soul.
When these two were compared, he would undoubtedly choose the latter!
Bernard couldn't stand by and warned Kelly Fisher, "Kelly, you know the strength of the Garza family. Getting rid of you is as easy as crushing an ant. Although you have your faith, you'd better not demean the Garza family and provoke Mr. Garza, or your fate will be miserable!"
In his view, Kelly Fisher was acting foolishly. Only the Garza family was their true object of worship!
Kelly Fisher fell silent and continued to kneel.
In any case, he would definitely protect Sherry Yusei, the Divine Maiden!
Alonzo, who was fuming with anger, was starting to lose his temper. It seemed that Sherry Yusei had no intention of having a late-night snack with him.
If that was the case, then no one would have it easy!
He raised the bidding paddle in his hand and said to the beautiful hostess, "Continue the auction. I want this knife. No matter who bids, I'll offer an additional one million dollars more than the other party!"
Alonzo's attitude pleased the beautiful hostess, who quickly announced, "The current price is seven million dollars. Is there a higher bid?"
With a big spender like Alonzo in the mix, it was best if someone else came forward to raise the price and force Alonzo's final bid to go even higher!
Seeing this, Sherry Yusei sighed softly in disappointment and whispered to herself, "Perhaps I am destined to be haunted by that evil spirit for the rest of my life?"
She gently closed her eyes, and the face of a man appeared in her mind.
That man had a brilliant smile, was unconventional, and, standing in the sunlight, he claimed to be the Ghostly King!
She was certain that he was the evil spirit haunting her. Otherwise, how could she be so disturbed and unable to concentrate after only a brief encounter?
"Miss Sherry Yusei, I can help you obtain Ogre Slayer!"
Just then, someone spoke to her in Jadian.
There was still a Jadian in the audience?
She looked up and saw a young man standing up from guest seat sixteen, behind Dominick, speaking to her.
"Why are you helping me? And how can you help me?" Sherry Yusei asked. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
The young man replied, "In the Dragon Kingdom, there's an old saying: 'When you see injustice, draw your sword to help.' As for how, it's simple. He has money, and I have money too!"
The two conversed in Jadian, which almost no one else in the room could understand.
Saying that, the young man took the bidding paddle from Dominick and raised it high. "I'll take Ogre Slayer. No matter how much guest number two offers, I'll add fifty thousand more, with no upper limit, until this knife is mine!"
Now things were getting interesting...
