Transmigrated as Baron, Married with my Lovely Maid-Chapter 79

"Ohh... what is this glitter...?!"

Everyone was immediately captivated by the shimmering golden light that erupted from the suitcase as soon as I opened it.

Even Dezy and Ela, who had been impatient to chase me away, gasped in shock and disbelief when the shimmering golden light hit their faces.

Behind the shimmering golden light, the billionaires in the hall could see several gold bars neatly tucked inside the suitcase.

"Gold...?! Huh...! If it’s only that much gold, it’s unlikely it’s worth millions of dollars...!" Dezy exclaimed, still in disbelief.

However, the other billionaires disagreed.

They knew, and could even tell, that the gold I was carrying was no ordinary gold.

I could even hear them whispering about it.

"Judging by the thickness and shiny shine of this gold... it looks like it’s very expensive, high-grade gold..."

"Yes, I have some high-grade gold savings, but the gold he brought is completely different and far superior to what I have... it’s probably worth ten times as much, no, it could be worth a hundred times as much...!"

The billionaires’ conversation intensified.

Their focus, which had been on the Angel’s Tear pendant, now shifted to the gold bar I was carrying.

Of course, I never owned gold like this when I was in this world.

Even if I did, my gold savings would have been stolen by my bastard ex-wife.

But this gold was different.

This gold bar came from the Aaren Gold Mountain in the magic world.

I had anticipated this possibility of money power requirement, so before I left for my world, I had asked Leysha to bring gold from the Aaren Gold Mountain.

No matter where the gold came from, as long as it had value, people in this world would be willing to buy it.

And my suspicions were correct: the billionaires weren’t just eyeing it; they were already pricing it.

"Hey, I want to buy your gold! I’ll buy it for two million dollars!" exclaimed one of the billionaires.

"I’ll buy it for three million dollars!"

"Don’t listen to them...! I dare you to bid $5,000,000...!"

The billionaires’ enthusiasm could no longer be contained.

They started bidding, starting with a very high price for this gold.

Heck, its value even kept increasing, surpassing the value of the Angel’s Tear pendant!

It was as if I were conducting my own auction within an ongoing auction.

"$8,000,000...!"

"$10,000,000...!"

"$12,000,000...!"

"$13,500,000...!"

"$30,000,000...!"

Oh man, someone even offered almost four times the highest price for the Angel’s Tear pendant.

"Hey, Atreus! Give me that gold...! I’ll give you twenty-two million dollars plus the Angel’s Tear pendant...!" One of the billionaires dared to speak up and firmly offered a proposal I knew they couldn’t refuse.

I caught a glimpse of Dezy and Ela’s faces, which looked irritated and furious as the billionaires moved to plead with me, instead of insulting me like before.

"Of course, sir! Deal!" I exclaimed firmly.

The auction host, who had been silent and confused by this dynamic, immediately realized that this meant I had won the Angel’s Tear pendant.

He immediately cleared his throat and then announced my victory over the Angel’s Tear pendant. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Alright, it looks like we have a winner for the Angel’s Tear pendant...! The winner is Atreus...!" the host exclaimed, ending the auction.

Ah, I’ve won the Angel’s Tear pendant, and I’ve even won an additional 22,000,000 dollars!

It felt like a dream, but I really didn’t expect my strategy to work!

From the stage, I saw a beautiful woman carrying a glass box containing the Angel’s Tear Pendant walking gracefully toward me.

Politely and elegantly, the beautiful woman handed me the Angel’s Tear Pendant, and I could feel the holy magic element pulsating in my right hand.

But gradually, the holy element I felt grew sharper and hotter, making my hand ache.

"Ugh...!"

I was forced to remove the Angel’s Tear Pendant from my hand, which Leysha immediately took it.

My right palm still felt hot and burning.

If I held it any longer, I might burn it to death from the holy element contained within the Angel’s Tear Pendant.

"Baron Atreus... are you okay?" Leysha asked with a worried expression.

I remained silent, not responding because I was still staring at Leysha, who didn’t seem to be in pain holding the Angel’s Tear pendant.

Recalling Lord Vermillion’s notes, I knew that the Angel’s Tear pendant contained a holy power feared by King Bahamut and any dragon.

And since the Black Star in my right palm was a manifestation of the vow between me and the dragons, I realized that this holy power was fundamentally opposed to the power of dragons.

No wonder this holy power refused to be held in Black Star’s hands.

"It’s okay, Leysha. I don’t think I can carry the Angel’s Tear pendant. Please keep it safe in your hands," I said calmly.

"Yes, Baron. Rest assured, it will be safe in my hands," Leysha said, clutching the Angel’s Tear pendant tightly, as if trying to put it in the small bag she was carrying.

"Oh, wait a minute... don’t put it in your bag, Leysha," I said, taking the Angel’s Tear pendant back from her hand.

"Eh...?"

Leysha froze in surprise as I placed the Angel’s Tear pendant around her neck.

Oh, the crystal blue Angel’s Tear pendant, combined with Leysha’s glowing body and beautiful face, was truly a perfect combination.

I could even feel the billionaires being tempted by Leysha’s beauty.

She’s like an angel descended from the sky.

But Leysha is mine alone, and she’s loyal only to me, so it’s better for those billionaires to let their imaginations run wild because Leysha won’t be within their reach by any means.

"You damn useless man! Cursed you, Atreus...! That Angel’s Tear pendant should be mine...! I’ve prepared it with my dress...!"

A woman’s hoarse voice, like a grandmother choked but forcing herself to scream, finally rang out.

And even without looking, I knew whose voice it was.

It was Ela’s cry, jealous of my achievement of giving the Angel’s Tear pendant to my new woman, Leysha.

I pulled Leysha’s waist so that her body was pressed against mine, then Leysha and I looked at Dezy and Ela, who were staring at me curiously.

"The Angel’s Tear Pendant is more fitting for my wife, Leysha, than for a pig like you, Ela..." I said calmly.

"Pig...?! You dare to insult me, Atreus...?! I am the wife of Dezy, a top mafia leader and also the top billionaire in this city...! You will regret insulting me like this...!" Ela exclaimed loudly.

I saw her immediately pleading with Dezy like a pig begging for food.

"Honey...! Punish him...! Take back the Angel’s Tear Pendant that should be mine...!" Ela pleaded repeatedly, but Dezy remained silent.

I could tell Dezy was still stunned by the gold I had brought.

And from his sharp gaze, I sensed he realized that the gold I had brought was not from this world, but from the magical world.

"Atreus Vermillion...it turns out you’re not as lowly as the people of Aurelius’s circle thought..." Dezy said slowly.

Huh...it looks like Dezy has reverted to his true form as Ulrich Aurelius.

"Do you want to settle this dispute with blood, Ulrich Aurelius?" I asked defiantly.

The Black Star in my right palm reacted, emitting a black aura that immediately shocked the billionaires and made them retreat.

Ela, who saw it, was shocked and her face immediately paled in fear.

"H-hii...! That strange power again...! Honey, shoot him...! Kill him...!" Ela said in fear.

"Shut up, Ela...!" Dezy snapped, his face tense.

"H-honey...! Why did you yell at me...?!" Ela replied, hurt, with a look of disbelief.

"...because you’re being noisy, Ela! Stop bothering me and let me focus on fighting him!" Dezy snapped again, leaving Ela speechless.

Heh...it felt so satisfying to see the pig speechless from Dezy’s scolding.

But that pleasure was short-lived when I felt an aura of power emanating from Dezy, which spread throughout the area.

All the doors closed by themselves, and the panicked Billionaires immediately ran for the exit.

"W-What is going on...?! Help...!"

"Let us out...! I—"

SNAP...!

Dezy snapped his fingers, and all the screaming stopped.

I looked around, and the billionaires froze, completely still.

Dezy’s purplish-black aura of power enveloped the entire Rainville building, making it seem as if the world in this area had stopped.

And I could sense that this purplish-black aura of power wasn’t just the Rune Knight or Ventura Knight abilities that Duke Archer had glorified.

I knew very well that Dezy, a.k.a. Ulrich Aerilus, was using the power of the sealed dragon, which could control time and dimensions.

"You think you can win against me, Atreus Vermillion...? The game has only just begun, and you must defeat me in this battleground...!"

Ulrich Aerilus finally bared his fangs.

I saw not only the billionaires suddenly freeze, but also the servants, security guards, and even the chairs and tables that had fallen stopped due to the commotion.

"B-baron Atreus...! M-my legs...can’t move..." Leysha suddenly fell silent in panic, clutching my shoulders.

Ah shit!

It turns out Ulrich Aurelius’ time and dimension spell is very powerful and spreading!

I had already activated the time and dimension spell, which Leysha immediately reinforced with the same spell for a magical defense.

But gradually, not only Leysha’s legs, but mine too, began to become freeze!

It was only a matter of time before Leysha and I were trapped inside Ulrich’s time and dimension spell...!

What should I do...?!
