288 Protagonist's Ring grandpa sold to the villain

"P_prince Alfred, can you lend me some money. I'll return it when we return to the academy." Finally after hesitating for a while Leon decided to ask Alfred for help.

As for Rebecca, well how can a hero always go around asking help from the beauty. He still remembered how Rebecca just threw him aside last time he wanted to ask her something.

Alfred looked at the stage and then asked "You want to buy those rings?"

"Ah_ yes." Leon said while thinking excuses about what to say if Alfred asked why.

But gladly Alfred wasn't all that interested in what goes around in this bumpkin's head. To him those rings looked just like rusted scrap sold at stalls.

After all this guy was a Baron's heir yet he was wearing the academy uniform to an auction and only carried some pocket change on him. If not for him being a high ranker and a little useful in keeping an eye on Rio, Alfred even wanted to keep a little distance from this stupid. Lest this guy infects him too.

"Okay." Alfred nodded his head and raised his hand. As the butler standing behind him passed him the tablet and he raised the price by 5 times.

50000 coins.

Instantly the crowd below who was still arguing and shouting prices calmed down. Seeing that some guys were still raising their fingers to continue bidding, Alfred signaled his butler, who opened the window shade and let everyone know it was HE, who wanted those rings.

Yet that became a mistake. As the moment his face became visible to everyone, a calm voice rang in the auction silencing everything. It wasn't loud, but somehow it reached everyone's ears.

"A hundred thousand" Rio said and walked up from his sofa and moved closer to the glass wall. Looking straight at Alfred's room with a smile.

"Five hundred thousand" Alfred said in return almost instantly. Already expecting Rio's reaction.

Seeing this the smile on Rio's face grew even more and he raised one finger. As Esme behind him raised the price till "One million."

"Two million" Alfred said and before the lady in red could announce the bid amount, Rio raised two fingers and bid doubled instantly.

"5 million" Alfred said again while frowning, but Rio tapped twice on the glass and the price doubled again by Esme.

Vanessa was smirking to herself as she saw Rio and Alfred competing against each other. One was a royal prince and the other was the rich kid whose company ruled the potion market. She was really hoping this bid would keep going on like this and in the end Rio ends up paying for that useless ring.

"Forget this ring, I'll have Reggie take you to a shop after this auction. You can choose anything there. They have almost all kinds of rare metals and minerals, so don't worry about it." Alfred said, patting Leon's shoulder seeing him lost in thoughts. Who could just nod his head in confusion.

A feeling that he lost something very important to him rose in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it now.

Vanessa too, like Alfred, was very happy seeing that Rio lost almost 200 millions on some junk metal that was originally priced at 100 coins.

Everyone else in the auction too thought the same thing. Some oldies saying that he was still too young, and younglings telling that he was too arrogant.

But there was one person, who noticed something strange. Something no one else did.

"Fools," Saisha said as she looked at everything from her room.

"He is, right?" An elven beauty sitting beside her asked. "Competition is enough but being prideful and foolish to spend so much like this. Humans sure are weird."

"Not him. But them." Saisha said and glanced at Alfred's room, seeing him smiling and chatting happily. "They got played and didn't even know it."

"What do you mean?" Her friend asked. But Saisha just shook her head and said "nothing"

'Was that the item he came to get here. I didn't sense anything special though.' She wondered as she looked at the waiter taking those rings away.

Unaware of the gaze staring at him, trying to see through his thoughts, Rio just closed his eyes and started looking through all the notifications from the system.
