Epilogue, the beginning, not the end (5)
Around that time.
Another incident occurred that shook the world.
It was Roman Dmitri who put the sword he was using at auction.
There was no particular reason.
Upon receiving the sword as a gift from his father, Romero Dmitri, Roman Dmitri announced his intention to put the sword he was using on the market.
The decisive battle with the Absolute ended with an overwhelming victory. In order to create a new sword that will dissolve the enlightenment of the past, I decided that now is the right time to say goodbye to the old sword.
People’s attention was focused.
Roman Dmitry’s sword.
It wasn’t an ordinary thing.
The quality alone crushed all the famous swords, and even possessed the symbolism of having dealt with the absolute, and the value of the future could not be dared to imagine.
People with some money couldn’t help but pay attention. Even if you don’t know much about swords, this auction was definitely worth participating in.
on the day of the auction.
People flocked to Las Vegas, USA.
As the two worlds merged with each other, the United States was the first to carry out several projects to embrace Dmitry’s world. Among them, the most popular area was the auction.
While putting out valuable items on both sides without distinction, countless people flocked to them every day and waved bundles of bills to win the bid.
inside the auction house.
A man looked around.
‘Damn Ahmed. You intend to disturb me again.’
man’s identity.
It was a royal dragon.
The fact that Roman Dmitri’s sword was on the market made him shudder.
It had to be bid for.
Kim Pan-seok took Lee In-ja’s place, and he couldn’t even hold out his business card saying he would use the Heavenly Demon Sword against Kevin.
He had to assert his strength as the leader of China, his only weapon.
I issued a national emergency order to raise all the surplus funds and attended the auction with great spirit.
The problem was Ahmed.
A tough opponent to deal with in a money-related competition.
Didn’t he lose against Ahmed in the last auction because he secured enormous wealth as the King of Saudi Arabia? Moreover, according to rumors, Ahmed became the successor of Valentino that day.
It was clear that if the great wealth and the desire for collectibles were added, the decision would not be settled with billions of dollars.
‘I won’t be easily defeated this time. Even if there is a limit to rooting out each other’s wealth, I won’t be the first to step down. I risked my life and death to obtain the Sword of the Heavenly Demon of His Majesty Roman Dmitri.’
I caught my breath.
Tension rose.
In addition to Ahmed, I saw the faces of familiar great riches, but they were not greatly checked.
Fortunately, there was a fact.
‘I can’t see Duke Valentino anywhere.’
Valentino.
greedy collector.
When Ahmed was granted his powers of transmission, he learned that monsters existed in Dmitri’s world.
In fact, Wang Wi-ryong kept Valentino’s existence in check even more than Ahmed.
His splendid reputation (?) of winning a bid for Dmitri’s sword by robbing his property was not confident enough to bear with tolerable blood loss.
I learned enough about impressions in advance.
Rumors that Valentino’s health had deteriorated and he withdrew from the field seemed to be true, as no matter how much he looked, he was nowhere to be seen.
It was really luck. Excluding the presence of Valentino, it was clear that this auction would be an ifa battle between himself and Ahmed.
It was then.
“Let’s start the auction now!”
Finally.
The curtain on the auction has risen.
* * *
said the master of the auction house.
“I will not go into detail about the items in this auction. His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry cut off the head of the Absolute with this sword and gave it a new name of Light to bless the bright future ahead. Having dealt with numerous auction items in the meantime, I will make a statement. Aside from the simple symbolism of this sword, Gwangmyeong has the most overwhelming quality of any sword.”
Currency used in auctions.
It was won of the Korean Empire.
Dmitry, who uses gold coins, was also gradually accepting the use of banknotes during the integration process.
the Master shouted.
“The starting price of the auction is 10 billion won. If you want to win the bid, please hold up the sign!”
10 billion.
It was a huge amount.
Even in the auction house, there is no case of setting the starting price this high, but as soon as the horse was over, signals were sent from all directions.
good.
Gradually.
All of them were signals that they would bid 10 billion won.
As if it was a natural reaction, Master quickly read the signal and proceeded with the auction.
“10 billion, 20 billion, 30 billion, 40 billion, 50 billion. From now on, I will accept quotes in increments of 100 billion. 100 billion 200 billion 300 billion… … Ah, now number 32 has quoted 1 trillion won! A whopping 1 trillion won was set in 10 seconds after the auction started!”
group 1.
It was a hefty amount.
No matter how wealthy a rich man is, 1 trillion won was not an area that could be used recklessly.
Number 32 was Wang Wi-ryong.
He bets to shake off all the gossip and to get the head start.
‘Now, let’s have a blast with the gangsters.’
The auction did not stop.
Even with the amount of 1 trillion, there was an existence that called out favorably.
“No. 19 quoted 2 sets! And right away, number 32 is 10 trillion Aaah what the hell is this. Number 19 is quoting Article 20, showing a strong will to win Kwangmyeong without fail!”
It was as expected.
Ahmed.
he was the problem
Wearing number 19, he persistently followed and rather expressed his strong will to win the bid.
‘Damn it.’
Wang Weilong sharpened his teeth.
From the moment the 20 trillion was exceeded, it was a war of stars, but I did not attend this auction to withdraw like this.
From the beginning, I knew that the decision would come in a group fight. Ahmed, as the King of Saudi Arabia, had enormous wealth, but China’s leader, Wang Yulong, was not far behind.
world power.
In particular, following the Korean Empire faster than other countries, China acquired considerable wealth and honor.
Wang Wei-ryong gathered all his strength.
In his position, China’s leader poured the most money into this auction.
good.
one mark.
At that, the Master shouted as if fainting.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa 100 trillion. A whopping 100 trillion came out. This is the first time in the history of auctions such ridiculous amounts!”
“This crazy.”
Ahmed shook his head.
Even he couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
No matter how bloody the competition was, I knew it would end in the unit of tens of trillions, but Wang Wi-ryong called for an unbelievable amount of 100 trillion, perhaps intending to ruin the country after the auction.
From then on, Ahmed was troubled. It wasn’t that he didn’t have enough money.
However, doubts soared as to whether it was okay to invest a whopping 100 trillion won in this auction just to get a successful bid for a sword.
to that look.
‘finished.’
Wang Weilong swallowed a laugh.
Trouble at the auction house meant defeat.
It was impossible to bet astronomical amounts the moment you distrusted yourself.
“Isn’t there anyone more favored? So let’s count 5 seconds from now. If no one says a higher amount in 5 seconds… … .”
It was then.
“Two hundred trillion.”
Moment.
The atmosphere turned cold.
Everyone confirmed the owner of the voice with astonished faces.
However, at the place where the gaze stayed, a person I had never seen before was lifting a sign with a calm face.
* * *
A few days ago.
An emergency took place in the Valentino family.
Duke Valentino, who had grown old with frailty, called his children together with a sad face and said,
“… As you know, this father’s life is short. At most, it will return to nature’s bosom after a year or two. I am well aware of the dissatisfaction you have with me. I shared some of my property and laid the foundation for you to stand on your own, but I didn’t pass on the Valentino Merchant to anyone.”
Dmitry.
No, the continent’s foremost rejection.
Valentino has amassed an astronomical fortune, but he has not decided who he will inherit even before his death.
The children waited patiently.
Knowing that if I was greedy for nothing, I would not be able to even break even, so I have silently maintained my position for the past 30 years.
And now. Duke Valentino was the first to mention inheritance.
six children.
they knew the meaning.
‘We all have considerable wealth as our father’s children, but regardless of how hard we’ve worked, only one person who inherited his father’s fortune will become a tycoon who will dominate the upper limit in the future.’
‘I will definitely inherit it.’
‘father!’
Everyone showed eager eyes.
As children who resemble their father, they had an ambition to follow their father and become the best man on the continent.
children’s eyes.
Valentino really liked it.
He always wanted his children to lead a life of greed.
Duke Valentino said.
“Now I want to decide who will inherit the Valentino family. There is only one condition.”
Klopp.
Someone swallowed dry saliva.
The appearance of men and women gathered around an old man lying in a hospital bed was truly a spectacle.
rising tension.
A single word from Valentino was more important than the hundreds of trillions of money being sold at the auction house.
“I will hand down my all to the son who wins the bid for His Majesty Roman Dmitry’s sword.”
That moment.
The eyes of the children changed sharply.
Wang Wi-ryong and Ahmed did not know the truth.
Valentino’s fight.
The fact that this auction was not a fight between the two, but a quarrel between Valentino.
* * *
200 trillion was just the beginning.
Valentino’s children, who had been quietly watching, savagely rushed at Hoga without retreating an inch.
“250 trillion!”
“300 trillion!”
“I am 350 trillion!”
Hearing the sign, he raised his voice.
Even as a Master, he sweated with a puzzled face.
I have never experienced an auction with a bid of 50 trillion at a time, or even an auction with a successful bid of more than 100 trillion in the first place.
Valentino’s children.
Each of them was a super-wealthy man on the continent.
Having amassed tremendous wealth, they risked their life and death in this auction and even gathered all the wealth of their personal connections that they had known.
It was financial power using leverage, not pure wealth.
Even lenders of huge sums hesitated, but one premise solved all the problems.
“what’s the problem? It’s a problem that will be solved if I inherit the Valentino Merchant.”
Everyone is.
Empowered Valentino’s children.
It was truly a battle of powers, and each one shouted a favor with their financial power to steam a tolerable country.
“400 trillion!”
“450 trillion!”
“500 trillion!”
at its center.
Wang Wei-ryong was stunned.
I felt dizzy.
I tried to declare a quote at around 300 trillion, but my hand flinched at the amount soaring to 500 trillion in just a few seconds and I couldn’t lift the mark.
No matter how you think about it, this wasn’t it. He was not allowed a chance against those who really rushed into it with the idea that this or that was the end.
at last.
“Finally, the winning bidder has been decided! His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitri’s famous sword is being sold to Charnel Valentino, the eldest son of the Valentino family, for an astronomical amount of 950 trillion!”
“Yes.”
A man who wakes up.
Wang Wi-ryong lowered his head at the sight of him running wild with joy.
“ha.”
The day I met the Heavenly Demon.
He thought he was well-born for his time.
The Wang family, who had been waiting for the heavenly demon, was rewarded for the meaning of their existence by meeting Roman Dmitri.
And now.
“Life is really like X.”
The second person’s seat was taken away.
The Heavenly Demon Sword can’t even hold out a business card.
Even Gwangmyeong was robbed right in front of her eyes.
After all, happiness is relative.
Wang Yu-ryong, the emperor of China and one of the most powerful, thought that he was really unhappy in this life.
* * *
Dmitry’s funeral.
Kim Pan-seok’s trial.
Gwangmyeong Auction, etc.
As the two dimensions merged and various events took place, time began to pass as fast as light.
3 years from that.
Many changes have taken place in the world.
