The Deadly Assassin Robin

Chapter 217 Thirty Billion Is Just a Small Amount

The atmosphere in the auction hall was so tense it felt like the air had vanished.

Even the auctioneer froze at the sudden high bids, momentarily forgetting to call the final price.

Only when his assistant nudged him did he snap back, yelling, "Six billion, once!"

As his voice echoed, Ruby clenched her jaw and declared fiercely, "Seven billion!"

She swept her gaze across the crowd with authority, silently daring anyone to outbid her.

After all, seven billion was more than enough for a 700-year-old Violet Wyvernroot. Despite being a rare medicinal herb, its price didn't usually reach such heights.

It wasn't a miracle cure, only a supplementary pill.

Very few people actually had a need for it.

Yet, in this auction, the price of the Violet Wyvernroot skyrocketed to seven billion.

Never before in the Violet Wyvernroot's auction history had it reached such a price.

Still, the crowd was eagerly waiting for something even more thrilling to unfold.

Everyone was speculating whether, after Ruby raised the price to seven billion, Mr. Ramsey in the VIP Zone would continue to counterbid. "Ten billion!"

Before Rita could even pause to check with Daphne, Robin snatched the auction sign from her hand and boldly called out the new price. The entire hall went silent.

Nearly everyone rose from their seats, turning to stare at the VIP Zone.

Who was this Mr. Ramsey, really?

His daring bid today made it obvious he was set on acquiring the Violet Wyvernroot.

As soon as he named his price, Ruby and even Anthony, seated in the front row, were stunned.

None of them had anticipated that Robin would go as high as ten billion for a Violet Wyvernroot.

Right then, a tinge of regret crept into Anthony's heart.

If he had realized sooner that Robin had come for the Violet Wyvernroot, he would have sought Tristan's approval to help him. This might have avoided a major clash at the auction.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Now, it's pointless to think about it.

Anthony, who understands the complexities of life, is aware that Robin wouldn't readily accept offerings from his family at this scale.

A sum of 10 billion would hardly impress him.

Even a hundred billion means little to someone like Robin.

Ruby from the Brookhaven Martial Alliance challenging Robin for the Violet Wyvernroot is like an egg trying to break a rock.

However, he couldn't voice that opinion at this moment.

From the side of his eye, Anthony noticed Ruby's stance.

He realized she would surely fight hard against Robin for the Violet Wyvernroot.

He let out a quiet sigh.

If Ruby cannot control herself, the Quinns from the Brookhaven Martial Alliance are bound to face serious problems.

She is unlikely to succeed in obtaining the Violet Wyvernroot at this auction.

Given her nature, she might even challenge Robin out of frustration.

However, as long as she doesn't overstep, someone like Robin will likely disregard her and the Brookhaven Martial Alliance.

This spoiled Ms. Quinn from the Quinns won't back down easily.

If that's the case, it will definitely anger this Divine Drakebane.

The future of the Brookhaven Martial Alliance is genuinely concerning.

Anthony silently shook his head at this thought.

"You! You're making things difficult for me again!" Ruby shouted, pointing an accusing finger at Robin, wishing she could eliminate him on the spot. From the start of the auction, this man had been challenging her, and it was simply unfair!

In her 18 years, she had never faced anything like this.

Throughout her life, everyone she met treated her with the utmost respect.

With her ties to the Brookhaven Martial Alliance and her stunning beauty, men often admired and catered to her as if they were her servants. Let alone a Violet Wyvernroot.

Even if it were something of greater value, they would offer it to her with honor.

But today, this scoundrel showed her no respect!

Ruby was filled with rage!

Hmph! Even if you manage to get the Violet Wyvernroot today, the Brookhaven Martial Alliance will certainly eliminate you, you scoundrel. Resolving to take action, Ruby boldly shouted a bid of 12 billion.

This amount was already her maximum.

If Robin kept increasing the bid, she would need to talk to her father, Kyler Quinn.

However, just after she announced the bid of 12 billion and before the auctioneer could react, Robin swiftly raised his paddle and declared, "15 billion!"

He was determined to secure the Violet Wyvernroot today.

Rita felt too intimidated to raise the bid on her own anymore.

Both she and Daphne turned their attention to Robin at the same time.

Daphne hesitated, considering whether winning the Violet Wyvernroot at that price was worthwhile.

In her view, it wasn't worth it.

Even without the Violet Wyvernroot, she would only face temporary discomfort, and her life wouldn't be in danger.

By enduring this phase and using some other pills, her body could gradually heal.

Yet, Robin had pushed the price of the Violet Wyvernroot to 15 billion!

This astonished Daphne.

She initially intended to convince Robin to back down.

Ruby stood up once more, pointing at Robin and shouting, "Aren't you afraid of death?

"Do you even realize who you're going up against by doing this?

"Do you think that because you have Daphne from Violetcrest International backing you, you can dare to provoke the Brookhaven Martial Alliance? "Hmph! How ignorant you are!"

Robin paid no attention to her outburst and calmly raised his bid. "Twenty billion!"

The auction hall fell silent. You could almost hear the heartbeat of each person there.

Everyone grasped the unspoken threat in Ruby's words.

If Robin continued to fight her for Violet Wyvernroot, he risked making an enemy of the entire Brookhaven Martial Alliance.

Everyone understood the influence of the Brookhaven Martial Alliance in Draconia's underground.

Crossing them meant a life filled with turmoil!

Though they appeared as a respectable martial arts organization, people were well aware of the tactics they employed behind the scenes.

Otherwise, how could they have maintained such dominance in Draconia's underground for decades?

Many began to feel concerned for Robin.

Going against Ruby could bring severe repercussions.

Yet, Daphne wasn't troubled by the idea of the Brookhaven Martial Alliance confronting Robin.

Although Violetcrest International lacked their level of power, the Brookhaven Martial Alliance was insignificant compared to him.

Not only was he incredibly strong on his own, but he also had the backing of the Dark Web organization-a force the Brookhaven Martial Alliance couldn't possibly rival!

Whether others believe it or not, there is an even more powerful organization backing Robin-one Daphne is unaware of.

If the Brookhaven Martial Alliance truly dares to target him, they would be sealing their own fate.

Yet, the enormous sum Robin was willing to pay for the Violet Wyvernroot left a strong impression on Daphne.

Ruby yelled persistently, "Didn't you hear me? You fool, are you looking for death?"

Before Anthony could get to his feet to scold her, Daphne had already lost her patience.

Rising from her seat, she pointed firmly at the stunned auctioneer and declared, "If this auction sees such behavior as acceptable, I won't hesitate to toss this mad dog out myself!"

Her cool, commanding tone echoed through the entire auction hall.

Was the queen of Violetcrest really stepping up to challenge the Brookhaven Martial Alliance for Robin?

Anthony quickly rose, his voice stern. "Ms. Quinn, I advise you to watch your words and conduct. If you continue to disrupt the auction proceedings, I will have no choice but to ask you to leave!" When Anthony stepped in to intervene, Ruby's anger flared. She pulled out her phone and dialed her father, Kyler. "Dad, I'm at the Harmonfield's Rosewood Prestige Auction."

With her phone on speaker, her voice carried through the room. "Someone has the nerve to openly defy our Brookhaven Martial Alliance!

"And now, the bidding for the Violet Wyvernroot has reached 20 billion!"

On the other end, Kyler paused, then replied coldly, "Tell him, if he dares.

"Thirty billion!" Robin interrupted loudly, raising the bid before Kyler could finish.

Ruby froze in shock!

Clearly, Robin was sending a message to her and everyone else that the Brookhaven Martial Alliance meant nothing to him.

On the other end, Kyler was quiet for a moment before cautiously asking, "Ruby, who is this man?"

With a cold tone, Ruby replied, "I don't know exactly who he is, but he's linked to Daphne West from Violetcrest International."

Kyler exhaled, letting out a derisive laugh. "Alright, make sure he waits. I'll be in Harmonfield tomorrow. Even if he wins the Violet Wyvernroot today, he'll be kneeling to present it to you with respect by then."

In the auction hall, the crowd fell silent, hanging on to every word exchanged between Ruby and her father.

It was clear that Kyler, the president of Brookhaven Martial Alliance, was furious.

At that moment, Alice snapped out of her daze, her mind racing.

What exactly was Robin trying to accomplish?

Was he seriously planning to stand against the Brookhaven Martial Alliance? He was practically inviting disaster!

And worst of all, he was dragging Ms. West into this mess!

This man, always putting on airs, just loves to flaunt himself!

He stirs up chaos wherever he appears!

What could Ms. West possibly see in him? How could she fall for a scoundrel like Robin?

She shot a quick, covert glance at Ruby.

Right now, Ruby was glaring fiercely at Robin.

After he raised the bid to 30 billion, she stopped bidding altogether.

She understood perfectly that, given the current state of the Brookhaven Martial Alliance, they couldn't possibly raise 30 billion to bid on a Violet Wyvernroot.

"Hmph! Did you catch what my dad just said?

"He'll be arriving in Harmonfield tomorrow!

"Just so you know, the Brookhaven Martial Alliance is planning to open a branch here.

"Get ready for the full force of the Brookhaven Martial Alliance to come after you!"

Robin paid no attention to her and stood up, making his way out of the auction hall.

Not a single person in the entire room dared to rise from their seats.

Anthony rushed after him, calling out as he reached the door.

"Mr. Ramsey, wait! If you need the Violet Wyvernroot, my family would like to offer it to you as a gift...!

Robin simply waved his hand dismissively. "Thirty billion is just a small amount."

With a respectful tone, Anthony replied, "Alright, Mr. Ramsey, I will take care of it right away and personally deliver the Violet Wyvernroot to you."

Robin gestured toward Daphne. "Deliver it to Violetcrest International."

"Understood!" Anthony replied, bowing slightly.

With that, he turned and headed back toward the auction hall.

After exchanging nods of agreement with Daphne West, they both followed Robin out of Rosewood Hotel.

"Stop!"

As they stepped out of the Rosewood Hotel., Ruby and four bodyguards rushed up from behind.

She pointed angrily at Robin, her voice shouting loudly. "Did you hear what I said? You j*rk, you've been opposing me all day. Do you want to get yourself killed?

"If you don't return the Violet Wyvernroot to me, just brace yourself for the wrath of the Brookhaven Martial Alliance!"
