Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Tower Master's Return

"One hundred million spirit stones!" Estelia didn't even give the man a chance to explain or hype up the treasure before making the first bid.

Her voice was usually calm and collected, but when she was bidding, it became quite sharp. This wasn't just another rare artifact. It was a gateway to the upper realm that her father wanted.

The auctioneer barely blinked. He'd expected the bidding to start high, but this... this was just the beginning.

A hundred million spirit stones was an astronomical sum, enough to bankrupt most noble demon families. It was a clear indication that Estelia wasn't playing around.

"One hundred and ten million," a gruff voice countered from a box shrouded in shadows. The voice belonged to a horned demon, his eyes burning with heavy greed.

"One hundred and fifty million," Estelia retorted instantly, not even glancing at her competitor. Her gaze was fixed on the Portal Stone, its obsidian surface reflecting the dim light of the auction hall like a small void.

The price climbed rapidly due to Primordial Demons' desperate desire for the Upper Worlds amongst the upper echelon of Hell.

One hundred and eighty million. Two hundred million. Two hundred and fifty. The hushed whispers of the audience were replaced by the sharp declarations of the bidders.

Meanwhile, Eren was moving through the back corridors of the auction house. His heart was beating fast, as he realized that he didn't even have any escape talismans this time. If he was caught, then he was as good as dead.

He soon entered the restroom, possibly the only place that wasn't under heavy observation. Inside, he created a blood clone and gave his clothes to the clone.

The clone left, preparing to return to Estelia's room, so Eren wouldn't be caught in the web of suspicion when the heist took place.
