2024-05-07 17:29:54"Boss, you’re kidding me. How much are your goldfish? I will take them all,” the pretty lady exclaimed, shooting a glare at her boyfriend upon hearing Serpens's words.
“Babe, your boyfriend might not be able to afford it,” Serpens replied with a smile.
“What? Did you just say that I can’t afford it?” The young man peered at him, holding up the car keys in his hand. “Did you say that I can’t afford it?”
Serpens glanced at the BMW car keys in his hand, likely a 5 Series worth about five to six hundred thousand dollars.
“What kind of goldfish are they? Why are they in a styrofoam box?” A middle-aged man approached with curiosity upon overhearing their conversation.
Another old man popped his head over from the side.
Serpens grinned at the middle-aged man. “A premium Chilli Red Arowana and five Redcap Brown Orandas.”
“What? Redcap Brown Orandas?” The middle-aged man was slightly stunned as he squatted down hurriedly.
“They are Redcap Brown Orandas! They are!” The middle-aged man stared dumbfoundedly at the Redcap Brown Orandas in the styrofoam box.
“Are they very expensive?” The pretty lady asked with doubt when she saw the astonished look of the middle-aged man.
“Yes,” he nodded, “I did not expect there would be five. They look even more exquisite than those in the exhibition. They are beautiful. Just too beautiful. There were two Redcap Brown Orandas in the fair, priced at $430,000 each. I heard they sold two of them yesterday.”
“What? Each of them cost $430,000?” The pretty lady gasped with an unbelievable expression.
The young man at the side had his eyes wide open as he looked at the goldfish in the styrofoam box again. He stuttered, “How…how could this be possible?”
“The Redcap Brown Orandas are the most noble breed among all the goldfish breeds. I won’t be exaggerating to say it’s one of hundreds and thousands or more,” said the middle-aged man at a steady pace.
“This arowana is a beautiful Chilli Red Arowana. It is so beautiful.”
The old man who popped his head over was not paying attention to the Redcap Brown Orandas. Instead, he fixed his gaze upon the red arowana.
“How is it, Sir? This is the premium Chilli Red Arowana.” Serpens asked smilingly when he saw the old man staring at the Chilli Red Arowana. He knew he met someone who understood the value of the fish.
“Highest quality!” the old man exclaimed. “This is the most beautiful Arowana I’ve ever seen. Young chap, how can you contain it in a cheap styrofoam box? You are… you are…”
The old man kept shaking his head as he exclaimed.
“This Arowana does look beautiful, but I don’t really know much about Arowana. Sir, is this really a premium grade?” asked the middle-aged man doubtfully.
“Not only is this a premium grade Arowana, I doubt the previous one from Town Wen that was worth three million was any better quality than this. The chilli-red scales give off a shiny glow, and the barbel at the mouth is prominent. This is simply beautiful. Young chap, how much are you selling this Arowana for?” asked the old man as he exclaimed.
Serpens went silent for a while when he heard the old man. He pondered before he answered, “Three million. I’ll sell this for three million. On the other hand, I’ll sell these Redcap Brown Orandas at $350,000 each.”
Both the old man and the middle-aged man were slightly stunned.
“The Redcap Brown Orandas were sold at $430,000 each in the exhibition. You’re selling them cheap.”
“To be honest, if you go to a first-tier city and auction this Arowana, I’m sure the price will be more than three million,” the old man suggested.
“No, I’ll stick to this pricing.” Serpens shook his head. He wanted to sell them for cash as soon as possible. Hence, it did not matter even if he sold them at a lower price.
Besides, these goldfish and Arowana only consumed forty points of Dragonic Force.
The consumption was slightly higher for upgrading the Arowana. To upgrade one arowana, it would consume thirty points of Dragonic Force.
The young man found their conversation hard to believe. He looked at his wallet and the BMW 5 series’ car key on his hand. Without any word, he stuffed them back to his pocket and pulled the pretty lady who was squatting down beside him.
The pretty lady stood up and gazed at the goldfish and the Arowana in the styrofoam box.
She thought she had a rather wealthy boyfriend. Yet, it was still far-fetched for him judging by the current circumstances. A few fish that cost four to five million…
Serpens did not care about the young man and the pretty girl who left. At this time, a few more customers crowded around him, as they’d overheard the conversation just now.
“Are they really the Redcap Brown Orandas?”
“Is there a premium Chilli Red Arowana over here?”
A few customers walked over and asked curiously.
“Yes, these are the premium Redcap Brown Orandas that are even more beautiful than those in the fair. Look, there is another rare Arowana.” The middle-aged man pointed out for the three customers at the side.
“Really?” the three customers came over. When they saw the goldfish and the arowana, they wore shocked faces immediately.
“You’re right. They are the Redcap Brown Orandas and a premium Arowana.”
“Gosh, five of them. Young chap, did you say one for $350,000?”
“Yes, one for $350,000. It’s $80,000 cheaper than the ones they’re selling in the fair. On top of this, this Arowana is selling for three million.” Serpens answered.
“$80,000 cheaper than buying from the fair. This is quite a deal.” A middle-aged man nodded.
“Where is the Redcap Brown Oranda that is $80,000 cheaper than the ones in the fair?” More passers-by popped over with curiosity.
“Redcap Brown Oranda that is cheaper by $80,000?” A group of people who just walked out from the fair joined the crowd with dubiousness.
When the crowd gathered, it was another round of commotion.
As more people joined in, the number of bystanders who were watching it for fun grew. One after another, they walked over to check out the fish when they heard that the Redcap Brown Orandas were selling at $80,000 cheaper than the fair.
Soon, dozens of people gathered around Serpens, and the crowd eventually grew to a size that jammed the road.
“Young chap, did you say you are selling the Redcap Brown Oranda for $350,000? I’ll get two.” At this moment, a middle-aged man called out.
“Finally, business opens.”
Serpens was thrilled as more potential buys surfaced after more than dozens

Chapter 184: An happy ending, a fresh start
The priest stood solemnly at the edge of the grave, his weathered hands clasped around a simple wooden cross. His voice, steady and calm, reverberated through the air as he spoke the final prayers, his eyes reflecting the sorrow of the moment. The soft rustle of leaves was the only sound as Rose was laid to rest, the earth slowly covering her.Serpens stood nearby, tears silently welling up in his eyes, his heart heavy with grief. As the ceremony ended, people began to approach him one by one. Xin placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, his face solemn. Lan, always reserved, offered a quiet nod of respect. Serena’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she whispered her condolences. Dr. Sun, with a grave expression, grasped Serpens' hand in solidarity, while Inspector Lui, ever the stoic, simply said, "I'm sorry." Finally, Tiara approached, her eyes filled with understanding and empathy, and she gave him a brief, supportive hug.After everything was said and done, as the crowd disper
Chapter 183: Tragedy in the end
In an instant, Rose disappeared into the portal, her figure merging with the energy of the Dragon Stone. There was a flash of blinding light, and the portal sealed shut, its power absorbed into Rose’s being. The energy of the Dragon Stone flowed through her, and the stone itself crumbled to dust, its dark power dissipating into the air.Serpens and Xin watched in awe, their hearts heavy with the sacrifice that had just been made. Rose had given herself to save the world, her courage and selflessness breaking the cycle of darkness that had threatened to engulf them all.For a moment, all was quiet, and then, from the stillness, a gentle breeze began to blow, carrying with it the promise of a new dawn."No!" Serpens cried as he rushed towards her. Rose fell on his arms, her form as cold as ice. "Don't leave me, Rose," Serpens cried. "Please come back," The strange lady spoke, "This was bound to happen, greet dragon. She's your fourth sage, the one who would help you win the war agains

Serpens struggled to his feet, his heart pounding with fear and frustration. Winter was too strong, even with the combined might of the dragon lords. They couldn’t overpower him—not like this. But what frightened him more was the sight of Xin, now standing on the rock, her hand trembling as she raised the dragon stone toward the point where the sunlight met the sea."No!" Serpens cried out, his voice breaking with the weight of his despair. But his words fell on deaf ears. Xin, lost in Winter’s spell, placed the stone on the rock. The moment the stone touched the surface, the sunlight intensified, its beams converging on the stone and then spreading outwards, enveloping Bahamut in a blinding light.The light was quickly swallowed by a sudden darkness, a pitch-black void that seemed to emanate from Bahamut himself. The last chain around the dragon’s neck glowed fiercely for a brief moment before shattering into a thousand pieces. The sound of the chain breaking echoed like thunder acro
Chapter 181: The final show down l
The Third World Sea stretched endlessly before Serpens, a vast expanse of shimmering waters that reflected the dark, starless sky above. The air was thick with a mystical energy, a sensation both familiar and foreign, tugging at the edges of his consciousness. As he stood on the shore, the quiet lapping of waves against the rocks was the only sound, but Serpens could feel the presence of something ancient and powerful nearby.From the depths of the sea, a massive form began to rise, the water cascading off its scales like liquid silver. Doromu emerged with a grace that belied his immense size. His golden eyes, warm and wise, fixed upon Serpens with a gaze that seemed to peer into the very depths of his soul. The dragon’s scales shimmered with a soft, radiant light, contrasting the dark waters around him."Welcome, Serpens," Doromu said, his voice deep and resonant, echoing across the stillness of the sea. He lowered his head in a deep, respectful bow. "Great Dragon, it is an honour to
Chapter 180: Leading through the portal!
The uproar in Draketwon that night increased people ran to find safety from the threats of the dragons which descended upon the city like a flock of birds.It wasn't long after that the armed forces of Draketwon set into action. Helicopters, their blades slicing through the night air, emerged from the darkness. It was a show down of the humans versus the dragons, as fire bathed the entire city like a flood.The roar of the engines filled the cockpit as Captain Marcus Rourke, the seasoned leader of the air force squadron, adjusted his headset. His eyes were steely, focused on the horizon where plumes of smoke rose from the city below. The once-vibrant metropolis was now a war zone, engulfed in chaos as dragons soared through the sky, their fiery breath raining destruction upon the streets.“Echo Squadron, this is Captain Rourke,” he spoke into the radio, his voice calm but laced with urgency. “We’ve got eyes on the target. Multiple dragons are engaged, laying waste to the city. They’re
Chapter 179: Dragons emerging
Tiara sat at her usual spot in the school courtyard, the sun dipping lower in the sky as the hours ticked by. The news of the Zorvath's going through Serpens' locker in school, had become the news of the day, but that wasn't her problem.Her concern was in the fact that Serpens whom he had called to tell what had happened didn't show up in school. She couldn't help but wonder why he didn't show up after he told her he was already on his way when she called him earlier that day.After the first set of classes of the day, she decided to go to the courtyard and hoped that before the afternoon classes would commence, Serpens would show up.Her gaze flicked anxiously toward the school gates every few minutes, hoping to see Serpens' familiar figure stride through. But as the shadows lengthened and the students trickled out in groups, laughing and chatting, there was no sign of him.By now, the courtyard was almost empty, save for a few stragglers. Tiara’s worry had shifted to a gnawing unea
