Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

In another private box at the auction venue, Queen Verona of the Western Dragon Clan, Martial Saint Muraki of the Sun Wheel Clan, and Yoru Katsuhiro were secretly observing Yoru's private box.

Verona held a glass of red wine, downed it in one gulp, and her eyes were filled with undisguised hatred: "How much longer do we have to wait?"

She had absolutely no patience left to tolerate the man who had killed her two sons.

Ye Shengxiong chuckled softly, “Your Highness, we mustn’t rush things. I learned the lesson of ‘haste makes waste’ before I died.”

"Hmph." Verona sneered: "I, a Dragon Clan member and a Soul Emperor, actually need to go through so much trouble to kill a human in the Asura Realm."

Muraki said calmly, "My brother also died at his hands, but revenge always requires some patience."

“Yes, Mr. Muraki is absolutely right.” Yoru Katsuhiro smiled and said, “There are many people among the myriad races who want Ye Ge’s life right now, and we may not even be among the most eager to take action. If they are not in a hurry to make a move, then we should be even less eager.”

Verona raised an eyebrow: "Who are you referring to?"

Ye Shengxiong laughed and said, "The weapons that the Ye family displayed at the Ten Thousand Races Summit this time allowed almost every Ye family warrior to fight against powerful warriors from all over the Ten Thousand Races, even if they were at a higher level. This made them the center of attention, but it also affected the interests of many people."

"Many territories and resources that were not originally part of the 'plan' have now been taken by the human race. And if they don't come up with a solution soon, they will obviously take away even more resources in the subsequent resource competition after the two-day break ends."

Do you think they'll just stand by and watch all this happen?

"..."

Verona remained silent. As the queen, she knew perfectly well that for those in power, having their interests threatened was more intolerable than killing their offspring. So, Ye Shengxiong was not wrong to say that those people wanted Ye Ge's life more.

She scoffed, "But that would take too long. I can't wait that long."

"Don't worry." Ye Shengxiong also drank a glass of red wine. "It definitely won't take too long."

Muraki shifted his gaze, his eyes calmly fixed on him beneath the bronze devil mask: "You seem to be much smarter than the Yoru Katsuhiro I saw in my intelligence."

"My body in my previous life was once ambushed by Ye Ge, who cast an illusion spell on me, damaging the prefrontal cortex of my brain." Ye Shengxiong sneered, "That's why I slightly miscalculated when I planned to kill him. Otherwise, that brat Ye Ge would have been no match for me at all!"

Muraki, expressionless, asked, "Is that so?"

"Of course!" Ye Shengxiong said with a sneer, "Back then, he was just a brat who relied on his father being the head of the family and his grandfather's favoritism!"

He subtly tightened his grip on the wine glass, and with a "crack," he crushed it.

"You can't imagine how long I've been preparing, planning, and scheming for this revenge."

Ye Shengxiong said in a deep voice, "I will not make the same mistake again. I am much more patient now than I was back then."

......

Meanwhile, in another VIP box at the Peak Auction Hall.

"Your Highness, the catalog of the items that Yege bid on has been brought over."

An elderly celestial being presented a flat tablet to His Highness.

"Hmm." Tianhao took the tablet, swiped his fingers across it, and quickly scanned the auction list.

"The scales of the Flame Scale..."

"The feathers of the Thunderhawk..."

"Ice Soul Crystal Sand..."

"Plain Stone Essence..."

"Magic Stone..."

Tianhao's brows gradually furrowed.

"Besides magic stones, what are all these strange and unusual materials? What is this 'Plain Stone Essence'? I've never even heard of it..."

Tianhao himself was one of the time-traveling players.

Although the game world of "Ten Thousand Races Map" is vast and has a wide variety of materials, he was still one of the top 10 players in his previous life's game world, making him an absolute pro.

The fact that even he hadn't heard of the material shows that this thing is truly a niche product.

The elder of the Celestial Clan said, "Yes, it is indeed strange. This auction has many expensive and rare natural treasures, but Ye Ge seems to have no interest in them at all. On the contrary, he values ​​some materials that were previously only used for decoration very much this time."

......

"Night Song actually ordered a million tons of magic energy stones?!"

In the Fallen Angels' private room, Yueyou looked at the contents of the auction catalog for Yege with a puzzled expression.

Since the cheap and easy-to-use liquid energy appeared in Dark City, the price of magic stones has been hit hard, and the market price has dropped again and again. Now it has almost become a decoration for wealthy people.

But now, Night Song is suddenly buying up large quantities of magic stones?

What kind of operation is this?

......

"The other auctioned items are also quite strange..."

In the Holy Elf's private room, Leonardo looked at the contents of the catalog on the tablet and showed a puzzled expression almost identical to that of Yueyou and Tianhao.

The Holy Elf strategist beside him said, "Pure Stone Essence was originally used by wealthy noblewomen for beauty and skincare; Thunder Feather Eagle feathers are mostly used to make beautiful clothing; and Ice Soul Crystal Sand, its non-renewable nature makes it destined to be expensive, but its uses are very limited, only some alchemists who refine special potions use it..."

"Um......"

Leonardo stroked his chin, pondering, and said, "If that's the case, then why is Night Song bidding so many of these things?"

"Besides, these items probably weren't even high-quality enough for a top-tier auction, were they?"

“That’s right.” The Holy Elf strategist lowered his voice: “But according to my investigation, the reason why the Peak Auction House auctioned these items is because Night Song had actively sought them out to order them.”

Leonard raised an eyebrow immediately: "Oh?"

The Holy Elf strategist said solemnly, "To be precise, it should be Nightsong who secretly ordered it from them!"

"I have secret intelligence that, about a few months ago, Yege began sending people to secretly search for these items in merchant guilds all over the map of the myriad races!"

"A few months ago?" Leonardos glanced thoughtfully at the Holy Elf strategist. "Was the intelligence reliable?"

The Holy Elf strategist chuckled, “Absolutely reliable! This is my secret intelligence department. That fellow Night Song was extremely careful when doing this, going through several channels from beginning to end to gather these materials. I can guarantee that among all the races, only we have obtained this intelligence!”

......

"This intelligence was obtained by my subordinates with great effort! It's absolutely top-notch!"

A vampire count said seriously, "Night Song is indeed extremely cautious. He sent his subordinates' subordinates' subordinates and then asked someone else to do this. Obviously, they don't want anyone to know that they are collecting these materials!"
