Chapter 141 Auction

Previous ChapterNext Chapter


Even though Xiaya was confident in his own strength and was certain that he could deal with almost any situation, it was still likely that something unexpected could occur. There are times where it is necessary to plan before acting, and it was always good to be careful!

Xiaya warned himself that Vados must have moved the dragon ball here for a specific reason. It may even be a test.

What people fear the most is that they often think they understand everything, when in reality, they didn’t know a thing at all!

Settling his thoughts, he carefully sensed the various auras on the planet. The first thing he needed to determine was the current situation of the planet, and the number of experts, in order to understand what may happen and prepare in advance.

As he spread his Ki out to sense, he noticed all sorts of disorderly auras pouring over from every direction. He carefully sorted through them causing his eyebrows to gradually lock together.

He discovered that there was a huge number of strong experts on the planet, so much that it was strange!

“That’s weird, there shouldn’t be any reason for there to be so many experts on a single planet. Even on Planet Hongshan, we didn’t have more than 200 people whose battle power exceeded 10,000. But here, there are more than 400 people who are above 10,000 in battle power!”

Xiaya was shocked. His face revealed an expression of astonishment and even a bit of disbelief!

Was Universe 6 swarming with experts? No, Xiaya quickly shook his head, immediately denying this speculation.

According to his prior understanding, Universe 6 and 7 didn’t have too much of a difference, and the overall disparity in level was not very big. This meant that the warriors here should be quite low-leveled, and those whose battle power exceeded 10,000 should be as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

For there to be so many experts here, there ought to be some sort of special occasion.

It seems he needs to properly investigate.

This Vados, I should have long expected that she wouldn’t let me get the Super Dragon Ball so easily!

After making up his mind, Xiaya was ready to leave. He perceived for an area where the crowd was quite dense and teleported there, leaving the abundant green plain. The more crowded a place is, the more information one could gather.

At this time, on the other side of the planet, the auction was in full swing. Bofei Trading Center’s auction was held in a huge colosseum in the central city. The Colosseum had five floors altogether. In the middle was a huge auctioning platform, which was more than enough to accommodate 100,000 people.

The auction was to be held for a total of ten days, and it was now the last day. According to how the auction was arranged, the more valuable the goods were, the later it would be auctioned. As a result, the auctioning of slaves which all the large Forces plundered from the conquered planets was happening right now.

Slave trading was the second largest profitable after planet trading!

Those slaves were mostly beautiful women with attractive figures or delicate faces. This was exactly what some wealthy merchants in the universe liked the most. Therefore, there were also some people who specialized in the shady business of grooming special slaves and selling them. Of course, because those slaves had to be traded away, only some of the upper-class or specialized races could be qualified to be placed in an auction of this level. All the other inferior races had already been annihilated during the fall of their homeworld.

Some of these beautiful slaves had very heavy expressions, others numb, each and everyone of them appearing lifeless. They seemed to have accepted their tragic fate.

As merchants shouted out bids after bids, batches of slaves were successfully bought and sold.

Gazing at the trading deals being done, Bofei and his sons revealed delightful smiles on their crimson faces. This was because for every business deal made, they could collect a fixed fee from it. What is this called? This is called free trade! More importantly, upon seeing the slaves’ despairing and helpless expressions caused a hot burning feeling to erupt in their hearts, making their blood boil.

“Father, I noticed that Shigure has really made a big fortune this time. The slaves he sold were all of high quality, which lead to high prices. I wonder where he plundered them from!” Boku’s back was leaning leisurely against a stone chair while his hand was rocking a cup filled with green liquid.

Bofei laughed heartily and said, “It is of no concern where he plundered them from, Shigure is our regular customer. Be sure to take care of him, but the auction fee cannot be less by even one coin…”

If the other party was so strong that they had to attach importance to them, the auction fee would certainly be reduced accordingly. If they wanted to form a close relationship, they would give a certain discount, but Shigure was not on that list.

“Well, it is time for the planets to be auctioned away. This time, there are 137 planets to be auctioned. Once again we will be making a big fortune!”

Bolton’s dark blue eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty cold light like of a snake and laughed as he licked his lips.

Touching on the topic of auctioning planets, the father and sons trio all laughed. It was the most important and most profitable part of the entire auction, and as the organizer they naturally will get the most profit. The reason why the Bofei Trading Center managed to thrive and be so popular, was because at least half of the trading center was supported by planet trading.

…..

In the corner of the auction room, behind a pillar, Xiaya’s figure quietly appeared.

It had been been a while since he had entered the auction venue. Through the language translation device he had, he casually communicated with the alien next to him, and gain an understanding on why there were so many experts on this planet.

It turned out that this was one of the Universe Commerce Alliance’s trading centers in the Milky Way. At present, there was an auction being held, so all the universe merchants from the nearby starfields were gathered here. Every one of the powerful auras were either lone universe travellers or powerful bodyguards invited by the merchants, or simply a leader of the forces.

“So that’s how it is, no wonder there are so many strong auras here. This planet is a trading center!”

Xiaya inwardly nodded his head. This planet was similar to planet Bakuf of Universe 7, except that planet is a trading area that had been organized spontaneously by various races. It conducts regular trading and has a good and peaceful atmosphere. Meanwhile, this was a place where a group of pirates sell their booty and where the weak are prey to the strong; openly bullying weak and even more darker!

Observing the bidder on the auction stage excitedly bidding, Xiaya pondered, “I have never heard about this Universe Commerce Alliance before. They even sell planets so blatantly, so they can’t be a good organization.”

With more in-depth interactions, Xiaya became clear about the nature of the Universe Commerce Alliance, and understood how frightening it is. He couldn’t help but be a bit speechless in his heart.

It was a giant alliance on the universal scale. No one actually knows just how much area it spans across, and it even have an incalculable number of experts! Almost every galaxy had several alliance’s strongholds.

In the past, he had believed that business like interstellar trade could only be carried out between some low and medium-sized planets. Supplementing each others plus and minus. He could never understand why a universe emperor like Frieza who had such power and status would carry out shady business like selling planets. With his strength, why did he need to use other people to do business? Couldn’t he just directly rob?

It was now that he finally understood. Universe 6 was similar to Universe 7, which meant that the races were also similar. In Universe 7, there was likely to also be a Super Commerce Alliance that spanned countless galaxies.

In the Milky Way Galaxy alone, the Frost Demons such as Frieza may be considered to be at the peak of power, but may not actually be at the pinnacle of the summit. There may be a hidden force concealed beneath them.
