Even though the Clear Starry Night Pearl was a big sensation, the start of the auction was quite slow. The main reason for that was the initial high price of this item and a decent amount of people still being a bit dazed with the pearl's effects.

The "Clear" Starry Night Pearl was a bit different from the regular Starry Night Pearls. The main difference between these two were the concentration of mana in them. The Starry Night Pearl only had a faint trace of mana which could be easily overlooked. It was valued only for its beautiful looks.

But that was not the case of the Clear Starry Night Pearl. This pearl had a massive amount of mana inside it and it was basically a prototype magic item. A good alchemist would be able to work with this pearl to create a special magic item that could effect someone's mind. But normally that did not happen often as during the alchemical process the beauty of the pearl would be destroyed, which was undesirable.

For these reason, the starting price of the Starry Night Pearl was an insane 10 million R. Only a few people present in the auction could afford this price. There were no lower limit to how much price should be raised with every bid, so most people started the bidding with very little increments.

But the people standing on the stage did not worry about this. They knew that the allure of the Starry Night Pearl was extremely large and the big players would not be able to stop themselves from bidding.

Unlike all the previous times, Elena did not immediately started bidding. If she maintained her previous style, then she should call a bid of 100 million R. But Elena had a feeling that this price would not be enough to get this item. So Elena was observing her surroundings to see what price would be appropriate for her to win the auction with just a single bid.

As this was the last item of the auction, Elena was planning to end it all in a spectacular fashion. That was the reason why she was trying to be as cautious as possible to bid with an amount that would guarantee her victory.

Just as the price of the Clear Starry Night Pearl was about to reach 20 million R, Elena made her move. She wasted no time and in her usual fashion, she spoke up - "200 million".

With how calmly she uttered those words, anyone would not think she was talking about money. 200 million R was a large sum which could take care of a whole small scale city. It was not an amount that anyone could casually speak about.

As soon as Elena spoke up, the whole plaza fell silent again. The male and female pair on the stage got a surprised expression on their faces for the first time since the start of the auction. That surprised soon turned into large beaming smiles after realising how large Elena's bid was.

Most of the people got similar kind of expression after listening to Elena's price, except for one person. That was the same hooded man who had bought the first Heavenly Nectar Fruit. Instead of getting astonished or impressed, he looked at Elena with anger. Not just anger but anger mixed with murderous intent.

After noticing this, Elena was very surprised. The amount of murderous intent she felt from that hooded man was insane. It was as if Elena was responsible for murdering his whole family before his eyes. Elena was obviously surprised by this but she did not pay too much attention to him. If he tried to do anything foolish then that would not end well for him.

...

Seb was looking at the beautiful woman who was receiving the Clear Starry Night Pearl while greeting his teeth. He had been searching for this item for a long time and even had prepared an astonishing sum of 160 million R for it. But still he had failed to get his hands on it.

And the person responsible for this failure of his was that golden haired demon lady. Even though Seb's mind was filled with anger toward this lady, when his eyes fell on her, he could not help but to be attracted toward her. This lady was just that beautiful. He wanted to push her down below him and wanted her to shake her hips above him.

With those dark desires clouding his mind, Seb almost unconsciously placed a mark on the lady. He could feel that this lady was powerful but at the same time he was also immensely confident in his own strength. Even though his current strength was somewhat lackluster, he was still confident in easily taking care of anyone below the legendary rank.

Seb needed the Clear Starry Night Pearl for a special task and he was also interested in making this beauty his, so almost immediately he made up his mind to target her. With that in mind, he did not stay in the grand bazaar anymore and left.

...

As Elena received the Clear Starry Night Pearl, she felt that the killing intent completely locked onto her. But it had turned from being a pure killing intent to lust filled killing intent. This development did not surprise Elena as it was a common occurrence with how insanely beautiful she was. Elena also felt that a mark was placed on her.

So finally getting interested about who this person was, Elena decided to check on him with her broken analysis skill. Immediately all the information about that man appeared in her mind. Seeing those information, even someone like Elena could not help but became extremely surprised.

This man's life was more astonishing then many main characters of a novel. It was extremely interesting. This man was actually a devil living in Valhalla. He was not just a regular devil but a demigod rank one with the duty to look after a place called forbidden library.

This forbidden library was a special place created by the gods themselves and becoming a supervisor of this place was extremely prestigious. So his position was a source of envy for many people.

These same people conspired behind his back and managed to trap him in a special anti magic field. As this person was mainly a magic caster, he was unable to do anything in the anti magic field and was killed.

But even after getting killed, he did not die. He had a rare skill that protected his soul from dissipation for a certain period of time. During this time, he went to a secret location and revived with a new body.

This skill of his was extremely amazing but it did not allow him to have a perfect resurrection. His new self was just level one and very weak. So as he still had enemies in the Valhalla, he ran away from there and came to the mortal world with his new body. This was the best place for him to train and became stronger. So just like Elena, he was on a second journey for his revenge.

From this similarly, Elena should be fond of this person. But that was absolutely not the case. So why was that the case ?
