Why Should I Stop Being a Villain
chapter-152

Amelia looked at their conversation with a confused expression on her face. She knew why Raelyn would interfere with Asher's bids but didn't know why Leonard Tarvian was doing this.

Only Damian knew about the 1v20 Duel and Leonard going back quietly, so he guessed maybe something happened between them that caused this situation.

"I don't want to make things too difficult for you," Leonard said with a smile.

"Honestly, all this was just to make Raelyn think we are against each other," Leonard said.

"I will give you this sword and all the help you need against the Student Council," Leonard offered.

"And what will you get from it?" Asher asked.

Seeing that Asher was getting convinced, Leonard smiled.

"Your support. Why wouldn't I want the support of the heir of the Greville family himself?" Leonard replied.

Hearing his words made sense to Damian and Amelia why Leonard would want to ally himself with someone like Asher. However, as an opponent, Asher would be a worst nightmare for any first years and even many Second Year students in their viewpoints.

"And you just need to join the Blood Faction, and I will even give you the Top Seats," Leonard said, but his words made Alan widen his eyes with shock.

'Why is Asher Greville more important than me?' He started tapping his feet repeatedly as his anxiety kicked in.

He had joined the Blood Faction to get revenge on Asher Greville, but now Leonard Tarvian was inviting Asher to the Blood Faction and giving him the top position despite being a first-year.

Gavin didn't care much because he would have offered the same to someone like Asher. He was a person who didn't go after those stronger than him, and Asher was the last person he would go against on his own.

"Well, your offer is quite generous, Leonard Tarvian," Asher said, and it made Leonard smile.

"You can call me Leon," he said, thinking that Asher had agreed to his proposal.

"But you are not worth my time," Asher said as he cut off the call.

"..." Leonard didn't understand what had happened.

Neither did the people sitting there. They had been bootlicking Leonard for years and still hadn't achieved the Top positions of the Blood Faction. So only a few people were given the Top Position of Blood Faction.

"Why did you do that?" Amelia asked with a serious expression on her face.

Unlike her previous questions, this time, she was serious.

"There was no need to provoke Leonard Tarvian; he was being nice to you-" She spoke as she felt Asher's cold gaze.

But she kept looking at Asher. She was a bit scared, but this could bring problems for the Greville family as their relationship with the World Association, which had been bad, would worsen even further.

"Ah, let's not talk about it. Focus on the bid!!" Damian distracted both of them as he saw that the atmosphere had become a bit serious.

It was mainly to protect Amelia, as something in him told him that it was not good for Amelia to provoke Asher any further.

"I know what I am doing," Asher told Amelia as he turned to look at the stage.

In the Blood Faction room,

Leonard was silent, and the countdown of 30 seconds was about to end. It was the first time someone had spoken to him like that in his whole life.

'If you want war, I will give you war,' Leonard thought in his mind.

"And we will resume the bids," Gazil said.

"And we have 55,000 GP from Leonard Tarvian,"

Asher looked at the bid and smirked in his mind.

"56,000 GP from Asher Greville," Gazil announced,

"70,000 GP from Leonard Tarvian," Gazil said,

"70,000 GP...1, 70,000 GP...2, 70,000 GP...3," Gazil counted.

"Sold to Leonard Tarvian!!" Gazil said

The whole Blood Faction VIP Room was silent, as Leonard didn't have a smile on his face.

They were familiar with this side of Leonard Tarvian and hoped they would not become the target of his anger. Only Alan was glad about the conversation between Leonard and Asher.

'Yeah, he is the enemy,' Alan looked a bit relieved as he stopped tapping his feet.

In the Student Council Room,

"Leonard paid too much for that," Zoie said.

"I agree, but at least we know his limit now," Raelyn said as she smirked.

"But do we need to do that?" Tyrone asked, as there was no point in going into a bidding war with Asher.

"Don't worry, I will use my own funds," Raelyn assured.

She was more confident now that Leonard had just wasted a lot of GP.

"Well, that was a heated bid war," Gazil said,

He announced a series of C Rank Artifacts, and Asher didn't bid on a single one.

"Now we will come to the B Rank Artifacts," Gazil said, and most people got excited.

Only a few people had bid till now, but now everyone would come out and bid for the B and A Rank artifacts.

"The first B Rank Artifact is a Spear," Gazil introduced the long Spear with many designs on it.

"Increased power potential, and other abilities which were not deciphered," His words made many people aim at this Spear.

Raelyn looked at Kevin, who was staring at the Spear, and smiled.

"I will buy it for you," Raelyn said as Kevin smiled at her.

But before she could bid, a huge bid appeared on the Spear.

"60,000 GP from Asher Greville!!!" Gazil said, but he could not believe where this huge amount of GP had come from.

His amount was equal to the amount of GP the third-year rankers had, and even Raelyn's personal fund was only 65,000, and the rest of the GP was from Reece, and it was to be used for the Student Council as a whole.

Leonard was already out of his personal fund; all he had were the funds he had taken from the Blood Faction members. Unfortunately, most of the top members were from elite families, and they would never give up their GP's to Leonard, so he only had 70K GP left with him that he could use right now.

60K was the amount used to bid on A Rank Artifacts, and Asher had forced him to use more than that on a C Rank Sword.

"65,000 from Raelyn Whiteheart," Gazil said,

"You don't have to buy it for me," Kevin said, knowing that this was a significant amount for Raelyn.

"Don't worry about it, it's nothing," Raelyn acted cool and composed, but she was angry at losing her chance to get an A Rank artifact for herself.

But she was glad that even Leonard's personal fund would have disappeared by now.

"How did you get so much GP?" Damian asked.

"Money," Asher replied, but Damian got even more confused.

"Did you take it from Eric?" Amelia guessed,

"Do you think Eric would have this much GP," Damian replied, as he also knew about Eric.

"Young Master, you are showing too much GP," Eric, who was sitting in the Rankers Room of the third year, was a bit nervous.

Even though he didn't know where this amount of GP had come from, Asher had instructed him not to bid a single time, no matter what. This was the reason Eric was patiently watching the auction happen.

In the Second Year Rank 1 Room,

"Leonard made a mistake," the young man sitting there said,

"Well, we should get an A Rank Artifact for ourselves," another young man said with a smile.

Both of them were Rank 1 and 2 for the Second Year Students of the World Academy.

"Well, he should have asked you to deal with Asher Greville," he said, looking at the guy who was Rank 1 in the Second Year.

"I am part of the Blood Faction, but I have told him not to rely on me, anyways," the guy replied.

"Well, the Cranston Family is equally powerful as Greville, so you are the best person to pit against Asher Greville," his friend said.

"I will not mess with the Greville in Somaria, but out of Somaria, you never know," he smiled.

Although he said he could deal with Asher, he would never confront him because he was not the heir of the Cranston family. His older brother was the heir, and he knew what his family would do to him if he caused unnecessary problems with the Greville.

'But Leon will deal with him,' he was not worried about Asher at all.

He himself knew what Leonard was capable of after he had experienced it himself. There was a reason most students like him, who were rankers, joined the Blood Faction, and it was all due to Leonard's careful trap that they all fell in.

They were laughing as Gazil started the bidding for the A Rank artifacts,

"At last, now I can bid," he looked at the stage.

"There will be only 5 A Rank Artifacts, so choose your pick wisely," Gazil said.
