Chapter 1962: Weakness is Original Sin (Part One) 😔

Published: February 12, 2025

“Since it’s a set, it should naturally be sold together. Moreover, the individual functionality of each piece in this set is definitely poor; only when combined does it have effect. Therefore, we can’t simply multiply the previous price by seven to set the price. I think, since your Star-Eye Clan has had a hard time acquiring these items, let’s set the starting bid for the seven pieces at fifty thousand Moon Age Gold. This would be fair. By the way, this set of equipment must stay in Dark Strip City; other races should not participate. Otherwise, we will have serious doubts about the fairness and correctness of this auction. If that happens, I will unite all the races of Dark Strip City to severely punish your Star-Eye Clan and confiscate all your assets from this auction!”

“This store, I think it doesn’t need to open anymore!”

This was clearly a blatant robbery!

When the wall falls, everyone pushes. This remains true no matter where it is, even in the universe.

If the Star-Eye Clan had the power of Lena Planet or Hall Planet, no one would dare to cause trouble; many races would be eager to come and worship them. But who is the Star-Eye Clan? Just a small clan on the brink of extinction, yet now they possess seven pieces of crimson condensation level equipment. Isn’t this akin to having a jewel that brings misfortune?

Although this is not a chaotic era, and all seven Survivor Fortresses of the All Races of the Universe have strict rules, in a certain city, if everyone wants to do something wrong, the chances of punishment might not be very high.

Moreover, the eight races that banded together are not trying to put the Star-Eye Clan to death; they just want to seize a little profit.

Naturally, if the Star-Eye Clan knows what’s good for them and takes out all seven pieces of equipment, everyone can symbolically raise the price, say, to seventy thousand Moon Age Gold, then everyone can go back and split the spoils. One clan can get eighth tier medicine, while the other seven can each get a piece of crimson condensation level equipment. It would be a win-win situation.

Even if the Star-Eye Clan complains, they will have something to say, after all, they have spent money.

Before this matter, these people hadn’t discussed it, but no one is foolish; they will naturally support things that are beneficial to them.

An alliance was almost formed in an instant.

The few larger clans present did not speak. Although their clan powers are stronger and they do not fear these medium-sized clans, they are not local forces in Dark Strip City. With eight clans united, their strength surpasses them, and if they were to speak up for the Star-Eye Clan, there are too many unknown risks, and it wouldn’t be in their interest.

A few of them figured it out; they would just sit back and watch the show. Once the show is over, these eight medium-sized clans in Dark Strip City will definitely provide them with certain benefits, at least five thousand Moon Age Gold.

Doing nothing and gaining five thousand Moon Age Gold is not a bad deal.

As for the smaller clans in Dark Strip City, they also remained silent, adopting a completely indifferent attitude.

They knew before coming that the two best items, the crimson condensation level equipment and eighth tier medicine, would definitely have nothing to do with them.

As the auction progressed to this point, what they wanted or could bid on has already been auctioned off. Now everything was of little relevance to them; no one would want to be the scapegoat.

“Do you really think the Star-Eye Clan is that easy to bully?”

Pao Bai appeared calm, lacking the anger he had earlier, but those who understood him knew this was a sign he was preparing to take action.

Indeed, the Star-Eye Clan is a small clan, and their situation is poor. If possible, they would very much like to keep their heads down.

However, that doesn’t mean they must endure when facing such unfair treatment.

For Ye Zhongming, the two Star-Eye lords could risk everything, and Pao Bai, being a direct descendant, if he brandishes a knife against these medium-sized clans today, then the entire clan would definitely support him just as they support Ye Zhongming. The Star-Eye Clan would emerge from the underground... Even if they couldn’t kill all their enemies, they would still want to bite off a piece of flesh from them.
