"Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for keeping you waiting... Are you ready for the main event?" Robin finally reached the middle of the stage and spoke with a confident smile
"Hell yeah!!" Some enthusiastic young men responded, and the rest of the guests began to tilt their bodies in hope and prepare for the historical moment...
Robin looked at his side and pointed his finger, and a few beautiful girls came in pulling a small cart made of gold and precious stones.
Above the cart, there are four items.. two scrolls and two metal tablets
"This…" Everyone started examining the four items carefully
There is nothing special about the two scrolls or tablets, in fact, there were only two small lines written on the four
First Line in a Scroll and Board: The Perfect Technique of the Minor Heavenly Law of Blaze - 1
And on the second scroll and the second tablet it is written in the first line: The Perfect Technique of the Minor Heavenly Law of Blaze - 2
The second line on the four of them is the same: Created by X Burton
"The Perfect Technique of the Minor Heavenly Law of Blaze? What is this? Has anyone heard of that name before?"
"No, I haven't read that name in the list of discovered laws before."
"I thought the Burtons were going to sell one of the techniques they seized in their last wars? Maybe one from Dolivar or from the Lying Water.."
"And who is this X Burton? A technique made by one of the Burton family? Is this a game?"
"I knew it was a scam since I first heard the news, no wonder the royal family allowed it to be sold!"
"I don't have time for this!!"
Most of the guests turned silent and Sighted, but some couldn't handle the shock and started raining questions, and even anger began to rise amongst a few of them...
They all came for the opportunity to buy one of the well known techniques from one of the neighboring kingdoms, but in the end, they found a Law they had never heard of and is signed by someone from the Burton family?
Who in the Burton family could write a technique for a newly discovered Heavenly Law?
Even their Patriarch is barely at level 26!
Anyone can grab a pen and paper and write any nonsense and say it's a new technique, it doesn't mean it works!
who would want to buy something like that..?
"Haha, I guess the auction is over at this point, goodbye everyone!"
"Take me with you, I won a few good things today, it wasn't a completely useless visit haha."
A few people ignored Robin and start walking toward the exits already...
Even those of them who actually care about the technique and might have bought it from another place and gave it a chance, but even those started laughing and getting out too,
it is the best possible chance to give the Burton family a political blow to discredit them and return them to reality after the rocket rise they have been on recently
And what is the worst thing that can happen to them? nothing!
What would the Burtons do? these Runes have already become public property for everyone in the kingdom, they can't stop them from buying them!
Never mind them saying a few words, there was even a small group from the Evren family here today and they won a few talisman batches!
They heard that the Royal family has interfered lately and forced the Burtons to allow their enemies to come to their city and buy their stuff...
So if even the Evrens' who have a direct conflict with the Burtons can attend, why fear them? it is time to kick them when it hurts... their money!
...The rest of the guests began to look at those next to them with questions and bewilderment in their eyes.
What would they do in such a situation...?
Is it better if they complemented the impulsive nobles who heft and go after them, or do they sit to the end even if they weren't willing to buy it so as not to anger the Burton family?
The guests began to look at the Burton family members to see their reactions, and they found that all the organized Burton family members were looking toward the stage, their hands clenched and their eyes full of sparks as if they were waiting for a signal, even the few saints among them were no exception to this
When they followed the path of their eyes, everyone's eyes eventually fell on the stage as well... specifically on Robin
He simply stood with his eyes closed and his breath steady, even his heartbeat slowed as if he was floating in a pool of icy water.
He didn't try to stop anyone, he didn't try to justify anything, he didn't give any orders or move a step.. he just stood there.
Seeing him like this baffled the hesitant even more, this young man named Robin simply wasn't shaken by what was happening around him at all!
In the end, they resolved to stay and listen to the end politely...
Being stuck in the thighs of a rising family is better than trying to stop them and creating enmity with them without a real reason.
After about five minutes, about 15% of the total number in the hall had already left the hall, and the rest were sitting silently in their seats
They were waiting for Robin to announce the start of the auction on the Technique and someone buys it, so they too can leave for their business elsewhere...
After another five minutes...
Robin opened his eyes, at last, looked toward one of the Burton Saints, and spoke with a low voice, "Uncle Milton, please make a list of the families of all those who have just left the auction hall, from today onwards all of those families will have to pay TEN times what everyone else is paying in exchange for our products, this is a final and irreversible decision."
"Consider it done." The saint nodded with a smile.
"Hoo…" Most of the crowd let out a long exhale, the rest furrowed their eyebrows, this was simply too overpowering!
"Robin Burton, don't you think that's too harsh? They just said their opinion." One of the nobles who had a good relationship with those who steeped out and spoke
"You may call me Sir Robin or Your Excellency Robin," Robin looked at that person with an eye filled with disdain before he continued, "This is our city, our auction hall, our sales and OUR rules, whoever doesn't want to abide by them does not need to come to Jura anymore."
"ROB.. you..!!" The nobleman cut his yell in the middle of his anger and continued, "Do you really think you can carry out this punishment? Do you know exactly who these are? They are from Earl, Viscount, and even Marquess families! How many people do you want to provoke? Can you even handle it?"
Then he looked at his sides, "Can't you see what's going on? They are trying to dominate the whole kingdom, they're using the monopoly over the Runes sales here to do whatever they want, how can you keep yourselves silent over this? We all have to leave to tell those thugs that it's impossible to control us!"
Robin gave a mocking chuckle and shook his head, then raised his head and scanned the entire hall with his eyes, "Gentlemen, you all know how respectful the Burton family is in dealing with our guests, and you know who was wrong in the previous situation, and the wrongdoer must be punished.
This is the punishment of the Burton family that came down on them and it will not change, if you all want to join them, there is no problem, the prices of everything will be raised ten times for everyone, and if you do not buy anything in the future, there is no problem either, we will store those talismans and weapons and use them in our own wars, many of our members would love that anyways...
We have lived without the sales of talismans for thousands of years and we don't mind living without your gold again!
As for those of you who want to stay... I promise you that you will never regret it."
