Chapter 376

Leaving only a round bullet hole!

Then,

that fat body crashed down with a boom,

and blood rapidly spread across the ground!

That gunshot

caused the once-bustling auction hall to instantly plunge into silence!

The surge of emotion,

which had barely risen under the auctioneer's strenuous guidance,

instantly plummeted to rock bottom!

At this moment,

with that gunshot and the fat man's death,

chaos erupted throughout the auction hall!

Many immediately wanted to run,

but feared becoming the next target of the World Nobles,

so they could only sit trembling in their seats,

eyes fixed straight ahead, not uttering a word,

trying to minimize their presence,

avoiding attracting that World Noble's attention!

As for the few who had intended to bid earlier,

they now belatedly broke out in a cold sweat!

Had they been just one step faster than that fat man,

the corpse lying on the ground now might have been them!

Although those able to attend the auction,

especially those able to bid on the Goro Goro no Mi,

were basically either wealthy or noble!

However,

it all depended on who they were compared to!

Before the descendants of the Creator,

the World Nobles,

these people were no different from slaves!

For a World Noble to kill them

was as simple as them killing a slave,

so simple that no reason was needed at all!

At this moment,

amidst the fear of countless people,

the World Noble was seen looking down at the fat man's corpse,

sneering:

"Heh, a lowly commoner dares to compete with me for something!"

Standing beside this World Noble was a man in a suit,

obviously a bodyguard responsible for his close protection!

At this moment,

the man in the suit stared straight ahead without looking aside,

not even glancing once at the corpse below. Ruoshui Novel Group @⑨⑦⑤⑥②⑧⑧④*①

It was as if the one killed by the World Noble's hand was not a person,

but merely an ant casually crushed!

Clearly,

for such scenes,

the man in the suit was long accustomed!

Then,

the World Noble withdrew his gaze,

slowly holstered his gun and sat down,

redirecting his attention to the Goro Goro no Mi on the display stand.

Seeing this,

the auctioneer quickly forced a standard smile,

raised the auction hammer in his hand and continued to preside!

"This honorable World Noble has bid 500 million Berries. Is there anyone with a higher bid?"

"500 million Berries, once!"

"500 million Berries, twice!"

However,

the entire auction hall was utterly silent!

Let alone opening their mouths to bid,

most people didn't even dare to take a deep breath,

fearing that a bullet would pierce their skull the very next second!

Although the temptation of the Natural-type Goro Goro no Mi was great,

once they won the Goro Goro no Mi and ate it,

they would instantly possess terrifying lightning power!

Let alone a single bullet,

even ten thousand bullets striking the body would leave them unscathed!

But,

all of this was built on the premise of successfully winning the Goro Goro no Mi and eating it!

And before that,

almost everyone present was merely an ordinary person,

just like that Fatty earlier,

a single bullet was enough to end their lives!

Not bidding meant losing only a Goro Goro no Mi,

but if they raised their paddles to bid,

what they might lose could be their own lives!

If they had no life left,

what use was the Goro Goro no Mi?

Moreover,

even if this Celestial Dragon competed fairly with others,

whose wealth could compete with a Celestial Dragon?

Therefore,

in this situation,

everyone present unanimously chose silence!

Regarding this,

that Auctioneer had obviously already anticipated it!

He saw that he did not delay too much,

after waiting a few seconds,

seeing no one speak up,
