The audience was whispering among themselves.
All of this was heard by Gerardo.
"Let's work together and make a profit of 3 million federal coins!"
"Sure, I have around 8 million coins. How much do we have in total?"
"Let me calculate. If all three of us join forces, it should be 39 million federal coins. When the time comes, let's split the 3 million evenly!"
Gerardo frowned. This was something he had never even considered.
He did not expect these people to join forces for those 3 million coins.
This was not good news for him.
Immediately, Gerardo bade, "43 million!"
Hearing Gerardo's sudden offer, everyone was shocked.
What kind of trick was this!
He only bade 33 million before this.
Why did he suddenly increased his bid to 43 million coins?
This was absolutely illogical.
This person was downright insane!
After all, the price that was only 33 million before had increased by 10 million.
The sudden price increase had stopped many in their tracks.
A total increase of 10 million coins!
The sudden decline in their psyche had scared off many prospective bidders.
Locke was the only person celebrating. Was it really worth it to buy a purple Battle Beast, and three green Battle Beasts for 43 million coins?
It was not something that Locke would need to concern himself with.
Gerardo's thought process was simple. This was all the money he had now. If someone had raised the bid again, it would only mean that he was not fated to participate in this auction!
So, he might as well take a gamble.
He could afford the price of 43 million coins.
As long as it was a rare purple grade battle beast, it would be fine. This was his only hope of entering the inner city!
As expected, Gerardo's high bid had caused the crowd to fall into silence.
Just as Locke was about to bring down his gavel, a sudden voice suddenly called out, "I bid 45 million!"
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. He raised his hand and announced a sky-high price.
Gerardo frowned.
Gerardo was overconfident. He did not expect that his finances would be overcome by the others' combined efforts.
He had way more than 45 million coins. However, due to his misplaced confidence, he did not bring it with him. 43 million was his limit at the moment.
There was no way for him to continue this madness.
Just as Gerardo was thinking of alternatives, Locke brought down his gavel.
"45 million federal coins, deal!"
Soon, the middle-aged man appeared on stage.
He laughed, full of surprise.
In his opinion, a purple Battle Beast was not worth 45 million coins. Moreover, it was also not worth it to spend 45 million for a chance to win 3 million coins. It was definitely crazy to gamble with such a large amount.
However, the probability of it coming true was too low.
As such, the 3 million coins was as good as free.
Therefore, the middle-aged man followed Locke's instructions and placed 45 million on the table. Then, he hatched the Beast Egg.
Locke grinned. Everything was within his calculations.
The people below the stage, including Gerardo, widened their eyes in anticipation. They were curious if the Battle Beast would end up like what Locke had predicted.
Crack!
The sound of the Beast Egg's shell cracking could be heard.
Not long after, the Beast Egg completely cracked open. Under the influence of the middle-aged man's mana, a Battle Beast was born!
The light that enveloped them was a shade of regal purple!
"Purple quality, congratulations!"
Without waiting for the crowd to react, Locke waved his hand and collected the 45 million federal coins on the table.
Including the 67 million he had earned previously, Locke had now exceeded 100 million federal coins in earnings, reaching a terrifying 112 million federal coins.
This was a huge sum of money!
"No! This is impossible!"
Everyone knew that it was a purple quality Battle Beast and could not help but exclaim in surprise.
This was a purple-grade rare-grade Battle Beast. Many people had never seen such a noble Battle Beast in their entire lives.
Especially Gerardo, whose expression looked as awful as if he had tasted dog crap.
He had missed his chance to obtain a purple Battle Beast. He did not know when he would get the chance to enter the inner city again!
The man who had obtained the Purple Battle Beast was very unhappy. Since he was the one to hatch the egg, the Battle Beast was partially bound to him, and it effectively meant that he was the only one who could use it.
Of the 45 million he had bade previously, 31 million of it was borrowed.
There was no doubt that he would face a huge amount of debt in the future.
To give an analogy, It was like borrowing money to purchase a luxury sports car. After the initial thrill, the rest of days would be spent repaying the absurd debt.
Obviously, he had no desire to do so!
"Kid, I will return this purple Battle Beast to you. Return my money to me!"
"What are you talking about? This is a gamble. You should accept your defeat!"
"No, you'd better return my money. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave this place!"
Locke had already lost his patience with the man. He quickly summoned his rose gold grade Battle Beast, the Twin-headed White Jade snake. "Hehe, you can try to stop me. I think it's normal for someone to die in a bar, right?"
The next second, the Twin-headed White Jade Snake suddenly enlarged, and like a huge python, it coiled around the stage.
The Twin-headed White Jade snake stuck out its tongue, and its misty white eyes stared disdainfully at the little purple beast that had just hatched.
The appearance of a rose gold divine Battle Beast was not something the little purple beast could withstand.
It hid at the side, shivering.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man was immediately dumbfounded.
What kind of joke was this, the opponent was a divine Battle Beast!
The rose gold light enveloped the entire bar. It was clearly a divine rank Battle Beast!
At this moment, everyone remembered.
That day, when Locke stopped the invasion of the Poison Wasp Swarm, it was this divine rank Battle Beast that did all the work!
This was the Battle Beast had defeated the Poison Wasp Swarm!
Everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.
They truly had not expect the giant snake to be a divine Battle Beast. It would not be long before the news of the appearance of the rose gold Battle Beast to spread.
When that time came, the information about this young man would be exposed.
When they saw this scene, everyone instantly fell silent. After all, some people had planned to teach Locke a lesson once he left the bar.
Locke had so much money on him, after all, and it was something that many would never be able to get in their lifetimes.
Now that they had seen Locke's divine rank Battle Beast, they instantly canceled their plans. They could only watch as Locke walked out of the bar unperturbed!
With the auction over, Locke's plan was already half completed!
After leaving the bar, Locke revealed a malicious smile.
He could clearly feel two people following him.
One was the girl, Taylor.
The other was the man, Gerardo.
The man who had failed in the auction.
Locke grinned.
It seemed that the day was not yet over!
"Why did you follow along, Mr. Gerardo?"
Taylor saw Gerardo rushing over and asked politely.
Taylor had cherished the hot milk that Gerardo had given her.
It was a recognition of her hard work.
So, although Gerardo was a rich person with a certain contempt for others, he had a clear sense of right and wrong.
After learning about the auction from Taylor, he realized that it would change his fate, so he was very grateful to Taylor for providing him with this information.
"I want to talk to that young man. You know him, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have delivered the message for him!"
"Well, let's hurry up and follow him! I also have something to ask him!"
Taylor was not going to chase after Locke for a reward.
After all, they did not establish a relationship beforehand.
She was just curious about Locke. It was as if he had a fatal attraction that made Taylor want to rely on him.
On the other side.
Locke slowed down and stopped at one side.
He looked at the two people who were rushing over.
He would definitely give a reward to Taylor, but he had not thought about it yet.
After all, the other party was a little girl. He needed to give her a reward that she could protect.
Otherwise, it would not be a reward, and it would spell trouble instead.
"Hello, young man. My name is Gerardo. I would like to ask you something."
Locke looked at Gerardo with interest, indicating for him to continue.
In Locke's heart, he had already guessed that the man in front of him needed a purple Battle Beast, and coincidentally, he had one in his inventory.
He had already received information about him before, and Locke had also included Gerardo in his plan to maximize profits.
Without a doubt, this was his chance.
Due to this, he had deliberately left behind a purple Battle Beast, all so he could respond to Gerardo if he were to approach him.
"So this is the situation. I need a purple quality Battle Beast. If you have any more purple Battle Beasts, feel free to contact me! I wish to purchase one!"
"I have a purple-quality Battle Beast right here!"
After saying that, a brand new magical beast egg appeared in Locke's hand. At the same time, he added, "However, it depends on what price you're willing to pay!"
"What? This Beast Egg can hatch a purple quality Battle Beast?"
Gerardo had a look of disbelief on his face as he carefully sized up the green-colored Beast Egg. At the same time, his eyes were filled with astonishment. Even through close inspection, he was unable to tell the Battle Beast's quality.
At the same time, a thought shook him to the core.
Could this youth tell the quality of Beast Eggs?
However, Gerardo decided not to delve any deeper into it. He knew that everyone had their own secrets, and the other party was a Beastmaster with a divine rank Battle Beast. He was not someone he could afford to offend.
If Gerardo had harbored any ill intentions towards Locke...
Then there was no need for the young man to make a move on Gerardo by himself. After all, he was able to annihilate Gerardo in just a single breath.
Thus, Gerardo did not think too much about it. Instead, he asked, "What's the price?"
Locke did not hesitate.
This was the last deal of the day.
Moreover, the purple Battle Beast was not worth much to Locke.
Therefore, it would be perfect if he could get rid of it. If he managed to sell it, his profits for the day would be huge.
"43 million. You can hatch it on the spot. If it's not purple quality, I'll give it to you for free."
Sure enough, he used the same rules as the auction.
Gerardo had thought of such an outcome before, and he was willing to accept it.
43 million was all the money he had on him. He had just enough to buy it.
At the same time, he did not have any doubts. Seeing the confidence on the youth's face, there was no way he was lying.
As for Locke, it was not as if he did not want to maximize his profits.
For example, if he followed Gerardo to his house, Locke was certain that he would obtain even higher profits. He knew that Gerardo had only brought a limited amount of money on him, and there was an even huger amount of money in his house.
However, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. 43 million coins had already far exceeded the value of a purple quality Battle Beast.
Thus, Locke decided to end it then and there.
After exchanging the money and the Beast Egg.
Both of them began to do their own things, and Gerardo had soon hatched the egg.
Seeing the purple light, Gerardo's heart leapt with excitement, and he kept saying words of gratitude.
As for Locke, a total of 155 million federal coins had been obtained!
Locke had long disappeared into the alley!
Not long after, Locke and Taylor arrived at a restaurant and ordered many delicious dishes.
Seeing Taylor eating so much, Locke smiled.
This girl had suffered through a lot.
Locke wanted to help her.
Moreover, Taylor was a very smart girl. She was the kind of person that Locke could trust.
Until now, Taylor had not asked Locke a single question.
Soon, Locke took out a Beast Egg from his dimensional inventory.
This Beast Egg was blue in quality, but it could eventually evolve to orange quality. It was the most perfect magic beast egg this time, excluding the rose gold one.
However, other than Locke, no one else in the world knew about this information.
Therefore, no one knew about its value.
Although it could not compare to a rose gold divine Battle Beast, as long as it was properly nurtured, it was enough for Taylor to become a powerhouse.
Under Locke's instructions, Taylor quickly hatched a Battle Beast.
The Battle Beast was a mouse-like creature. Its entire body shone a golden yellow, and it was very close to Taylor.
Even though it was only blue in quality, Taylor valued it deeply.
She trusted Locke completely.
Through his actions, she had inferred Locke's ability to inspect the Beast Egg's status. As such, Taylor decided not to question him.
She trusted that Locke would not harm her.
Moreover, a blue Battle Beast was already more than enough for a poor person like herself.
This was a Battle Beast that was worth at least 1.3 million coins!
Therefore, Taylor was very satisfied and her eyes were filled with gratitude.
After that, Locke also took out 50 thousand federal coins and handed it to Taylor.
50 thousand federal coins was not a lot, but to Taylor, who lived a difficult life, it was a huge sum of money.
It was enough for her to live for a few years!
This was the best reward Locke could think of. After all, giving her too much would end up harming her instead.
As for Taylor's fate in the future, Locke had no intention of interfering.
The path he walked was different from most people's. After mastering the All Beasts' Hidden Evolution Path, Locke would become a unique existence in the world. As such, the path that he had to walk was completely different from the other people in the world.
After bidding goodbye to Taylor.
Locke headed to the inner city, to the Beastmaster's exclusive store!
It was also known as the black market.
There were many materials circulating, and among them were the things Locke needed.
Locke had reaped a bountiful harvest this time. As such, he also wished to hatch two rose gold divine rank Battle Beasts at the same time.
With a heart filled with anticipation, Locke disappeared at the end of the street.
