The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live A Normal Life [EN]: Chapter 613

The man looked around carefully, making sure no one was watching him.

‘Damn that Ahmed. He’s planning to interfere with me again, isn’t he?’

This man was Wang Wiryong.

The news that Roman Dmitry’s sword was on the market made him very nervous.

He had to win the auction, no matter what.

Kim Panseok had taken away Wang Wiryong’s important position. Also, Wang Wiryong could not even think about using his special sword skills, the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique, against Kevin.

He had to prove himself, even if it was just by using his power as the leader of China.

He ordered everyone in the country to gather all the money they could, and he came to this auction ready to do whatever it took.

The problem was Ahmed.

Ahmed was a tough opponent in any competition that involved money.

As the King of Saudi Arabia, he had a lot of money. Hadn’t Wang Wiryong already lost to Ahmed in the last auction? Also, people were saying that Ahmed had become Valentino’s heir that day.

If someone had a lot of money and loved collecting things, it was clear that just a few million wouldn’t be enough to win.

‘I won’t be easily defeated this time. Even if we have to spend all our money, I won’t be the first to give up. I’m risking everything to get Emperor Roman Dmitry’s sword, the Heavenly Demon’s sword.’

He took a deep breath.

Tension was building.

He saw some other rich and powerful people besides Ahmed, but he wasn’t too worried about them.

However, there was one good thing.

‘Duke Valentino is nowhere to be seen.’

Valentino.

The greedy collector.

When Ahmed was given his inheritance, Wang Wiryong learned that monsters existed in Dmitry’s world.

Actually, Wang Wiryong was more worried about Valentino than Ahmed.

Valentino was known for his extreme actions. People said he had once sold everything he owned just to buy Dmitry’s sword. Wang Wiryong couldn’t compete with that, even if he spent a lot of money.

He had studied Valentino’s appearance very carefully beforehand.

Wang Wiryong looked everywhere but could not see Valentino. This made him think that the rumors were true: Valentino was getting sick and had stopped being active in auctions.

That was very lucky. If Valentino wasn’t there, this auction would probably just be a fight between him and Ahmed.

Just then.

“We will now begin the auction!”

Finally.

The auction was starting.

The auctioneer said,

“I won’t waste your time with long explanations about this item. Emperor Roman Dmitry used this sword to defeat a powerful being, and he named it Gwangmyeong (光明) to bring good luck for the future. I’ve handled many auction items, and I can tell you that Gwangmyeong is the most impressive sword I’ve ever seen, even more than its symbolic meaning.”

The auction used the Korean Empire’s won as currency.

Dmitry, who used gold coins, was starting to use paper money as well as the two areas became one.

The auctioneer shouted,

“Now, the starting bid is 10 billion won. Please raise your signs if you want to bid!”

10 billion won.

That was a lot of money.

It was unusual for an auction house to start the price so high, but people started bidding as soon as he finished speaking.

Everyone was signaling that they would bid over 10 billion won.

The auctioneer seemed to expect this, and he quickly read the signals and continued with the auction.

“10 billion, 20 billion, 30 billion, 40 billion, 50 billion. From now on, I will accept bids in units of 100 billion. 100 billion, 200 billion, 300 billion… Ah, number 32 has bid 1 trillion won! Only 10 seconds into the auction, and someone has already bid 1 trillion won!”

1 trillion won.

That was an incredible amount.

Even for a rich person, 1 trillion won was not a small amount.

Number 32 was Wang Wiryong.

He made the bid to get rid of all the unimportant bidders and take control of the auction.

‘Now, let’s see the real players make a move.’

The auction continued.

Even with the sum of 1 trillion won, someone boldly bid a higher price.

“Number 19 has bid 2 trillion won! And right away, number 32 bids 10 trillion won. What is going on? Number 19 is bidding 20 trillion won, showing that they really want to win Gwangmyeong at any cost!”

It was just as he expected.

Ahmed.

He was the problem.

Wearing number 19, he kept bidding, showing that he really wanted to win.

‘Damn son of a bitch.’

Wang Wiryong gritted his teeth.

Once the price went over 20 trillion won, it was a battle between the richest people, but he didn’t come to this auction to give up.

From the start, he knew that the battle would be in the trillions. Ahmed had a lot of money as the King of Saudi Arabia, but Wang Wiryong, as the leader of China, was not going to be outdone.

China was a global superpower.

Because China had followed the Korean Empire earlier than other countries, it had gained a lot of wealth and respect.

Wang Wiryong gathered all his strength.

As the leader of China, he put as much money as he could into this auction.

One sign.

The auctioneer shouted as if he was about to faint.

“Aaaaargh, it’s 100 trillion won! Someone has bid 100 trillion won. This is the first time in auction history that the price has reached such a crazy amount!”

“This is insane.”

Ahmed quickly turned his head.

He was shocked.

Even if they were willing to spend a lot of money, he thought it would end in the tens of trillions. But Wang Wiryong bid 100 trillion won, as if he wanted to destroy the country with the auction.

From that moment on, Ahmed started to think. It wasn’t that he didn’t have that much money.

However, he wondered if it was worth spending 100 trillion won just to win a single sword.

Seeing that.

‘It’s over.’

Wang Wiryong smiled.

If you hesitate at an auction, you lose.

Once you lose confidence, you can’t bet such huge amounts of money.

“Are there any more bidders? I will now count down from 5 seconds. If no one bids a higher amount within 5 seconds…”

Just then.

“200 trillion.”

The atmosphere suddenly turned icy cold.

Everyone looked in shock to see who had said that.

And there, they saw someone they had never seen before, raising a sign with a calm expression.

A few days ago.

There was an emergency in the Valentino family.

Duke Valentino, old and weak, called his children to him with a sick face and said,

“…As you all know, I don’t have much longer to live. Maybe a year or two, and then I’ll die. I know you’ve all been unhappy with me. I’ve given you some of my money to help you get started, but I haven’t given the Valentino Trading Company to any of you.”

Dmitry.

He was the richest man on the continent.

Valentino had made a lot of money, but even now that he was dying, he hadn’t decided who would inherit it.

The children waited quietly.

They knew that being greedy would only lead to trouble, so they had been patient for the past 30 years.

And now, Duke Valentino was talking about inheritance for the first time.

Six children.

They knew what it meant.

‘We’ve all made a lot of money as our father’s children, but whoever inherits our father’s wealth will become a powerful person who controls the business world, no matter how hard we’ve worked.’

‘I have to inherit it.’

‘Father!’

They all looked eager.

The children looked like their father, and they all wanted to become the richest person on the continent, just like him.

Valentino’s children.

Valentino was very happy.

He always wanted his children to be greedy.

Duke Valentino said,

“Now, I’m going to decide who will inherit the Valentino Trading Company. There’s only one condition.”

Someone swallowed hard.

It was quite a sight to see all the men and women gathered around the old man lying in bed.

Tension was rising.

Valentino’s words were more important than the hundreds of trillions of won being bid at the auction.

“I will give everything I own to the child who wins the auction for Emperor Roman Dmitry’s sword.”

At that moment.

The children’s eyes became sharp.

Wang Wiryong and Ahmed didn’t know the truth.

Valentino was involved.

This auction wasn’t just a fight between the two of them, but a family battle for Valentino’s inheritance.

200 trillion was just the beginning.

Valentino’s children, who had been watching quietly, kept raising the price without stopping.

“250 trillion!”

“300 trillion!”

“I bid 350 trillion!”

They raised their signs and shouted out their bids.

The auctioneer was sweating and looked flustered.

He had never seen an auction where the price went up by 50 trillion at a time, or even an auction where the final bid was over 100 trillion.

Valentino’s children.

They were all well-known rich people on the continent.

They had made a lot of money, and they were risking everything on this auction. They even gathered all the money they could from their connections.

They were using borrowed money, not just their own.

Even the people who lent them such huge amounts were worried, but one thing made them feel better.

“What’s the problem? Everything will be fine if you inherit the Valentino Trading Company.”

Everyone.

Supported Valentino’s children.

It was a real battle of power, and they were all shouting out prices with enough money to be richer than many nations.

“400 trillion!”

“450 trillion!”

“500 trillion!”

In the middle of all this.

Wang Wiryong was lost in thought.

He felt dizzy.

He had been planning to bid around 300 trillion, but the price was rising so quickly, reaching 500 trillion in just a few seconds. He just twitched his hand and couldn’t raise his sign.

No matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t win. He couldn’t compete with people who were so desperate that they thought this was their last chance.

In the end.

“Finally, the winning bid has been decided! Emperor Roman Dmitry’s famous sword will be won by Charnel Valentino, the eldest son of the Valentino family, for the incredible sum of 950 trillion!”

“Yessss!”

The man jumped up.

Wang Wiryong hung his head as he watched him celebrate.

“Haa.”

The day he met the Heavenly Demon.

He thought he was lucky to be born in this time.

The Wang family, who had been waiting for the Heavenly Demon, was rewarded for meeting Roman Dmitry.

And now.

“Life is really unfair.”

He lost his position as second-in-command.

He couldn’t even show off the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique.

Even Gwangmyeong was taken away right in front of his eyes.

Happiness was, as always, relative.

Wang Wiryong, the emperor of China and one of the most powerful people, felt that his life was unhappy.

Dmitry’s funeral.

Kim Panseok’s trial.

The auction of Gwangmyeong, and so on.

As the two dimensions became one and various events happened, time also started to pass quickly.

3 years since then.

Many changes have taken place in the world.
