Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 236

Chapter 236: Everything Goes as Planned

“Now, can you see this? This oddly attractive design. The thunderous sound of the horn. It’s perfect for drawing attention. Plus, tedious crop harvesting is automated just by moving over it! An opportunity to own such an amazing vehicle. We’ll start at just 10 million Lena!”

Vroom, vroom!

At the signal from Mr. Lena, the operator aboard the mini tractor zooms past the audience with a loud noise.

The focused eyes of each company.

At first, they judged it to be foolish to buy due to the poor special abilities, but seeing it in person, it looks cooler than expected.

Indeed, there’s something about the rough engine sound of the tractor that stimulates a man’s fantasy.

Moreover, the initial bidding price of 10 million Lena isn’t that burdensome.

Eventually, Mr. Wangko, who had been watching carefully, raised his hand first.

“10 million Lena!”

“Ah, just for your information, the bids increase by 5 million Lena each. Please take note.”

“15 million Lena!”

This time, Ms. Aengdu from Sunny Moon raised her hand.

Mr. NS couldn’t participate in today’s vehicle auction due to Sunny Group’s busy schedule.

Thus, Aengdu, the manager, stepped in as a temporary representative.

“20 million Lena!”

Ms. Limiani from Partner & Tofu Company raised her hand and shouted.

With a voice capable of commanding attention, she certainly asserts dominance as she possesses the nickname General Lim.

Seeing this, Mr. Wangko couldn’t back down and raised his bid again.

The price quickly climbed to 25 million Lena.

“Akatsuki, 30 million!”

At that moment, Mr. Young-jun, who had been sitting in the corner, raised his hand.

Everyone began exchanging peculiar glances.

The price had reached a point that could no longer be ignored, and Mr. Young-jun’s earlier statement of “100 million Lena” before the auction was now nagging at their minds.

They didn’t want to risk competing for the mini tractor and potentially miss out on the key auction items behind it.

In the end, a brief silence followed.

“No way, is such a great vehicle really going to end at just 30 million? Is there anyone who will call a higher bid?”

Mr. Lena scanned the room, searching for someone to raise their hand.

After some thought, Ms. Aengdu from Sunny Moon listened to Tunyang’s whisper and nodded, raising her hand again.

“Sunny Moon, 35 million.”

– Wow! This is Sunny Moon; they can drop 35 million on a mini tractor!

– They might end up getting robbed in the sports car auction later, lol.

– But why is Bracom staying quiet? Aren’t they the only company aiming for the mini tractor?

The chat room of Mr. Lena, filled with fandoms from each company, was already chaotic.

Signs of the Gold Cup were starting to show.

Just then, Mr. Young-jun announced his bid again.

“Akatsuki, 40 million Lena.”

“……”

This time, it was significant.

Mr. Wangko hesitated to raise his hand, and the heads of other companies looked uncertain.

The representative Chi-chu, who attended on behalf of the busy Mr. Kim Hak-do, frowned, saying he only had 10 million Lena.

Oh! I forgot to mention that Rissle Company had paid off all its debts.

Still, calling it a company under the big streamer is quite impressive!

Thanks to that, I currently have more than 200 million Lena in funds.

I don’t need to get caught up in such trivial antics.

I quietly raised my hand from the opposite side of Mr. Young-jun, who was drawing all the attention early on, trying to claim the spotlight.

“Incremental bids of 5 million Lena are rather dull. V-Live will offer 50 million Lena. Will our Akatsuki’s leader, Mr. Young-jun, have the guts for that?”

An outright provocative statement.

Knowing Mr. Young-jun’s strategy from before the regression made it possible for me.

Having only brought about 25 million Lena, Akatsuki took a gamble but faced a price climb beyond imagination, which could lead to them becoming extras in the vehicle auction.

I deliberately made it seem like I was out of funds to entice bidding, pushing other companies to purchase vehicles at inflated prices.

It felt like mixing WWE with a broadcast as I usually do.

It was an action fitting for Akatsuki, a so-called ‘villain’ group.

But the problem was there was no solid justification that everyone could agree on.

And above all, several heads of companies with a higher tier than Akatsuki were present.

Eventually, continually raising my bids drew suspicion, and when Ms. Aengdu demanded proof of funds, everything was exposed.

The atmosphere quickly became tense.

Fortunately, everyone was friendly with Mr. Young-jun, so they didn’t press too hard, but I had no choice but to take a torrent of insults and be chased to the corner of the auction house.

Given that I remembered the events from before the regression, I naturally felt confident.

“50 million Lena? Hmph. Then Akatsuki will bid 60 million.”

“Oooh! What? The atmosphere around the first vehicle is getting heated!”

“Mr. Young-jun, you’re bold! You’re quite refreshing.”

As competition built up, various comments started piling in.

The larger the spending of competing companies, the more beneficial it was, so there was plenty of incentive to egg them on.

But was it just these examples?

For a change, I sensed strong resolve in Mr. Young-jun’s eyes, unlike usual.

“It’s probably a personal grudge. He’s been beaten by me every time.”

The first collaboration, the entering ceremony into Lena World, the backstab incident on Purge Day.

For Mr. Young-jun, there must have been a lot of pent-up frustrations.

And now he likely thinks it’s the perfect time to take revenge on me.

He would assume that only our company has publicly stated its intention to win the mini tractor.

“Does Mr. Young-jun know? That I spread rumors on purpose to use him as bait.”

Surely, he would think that due to his pride, he couldn’t give up the mini tractor.

Because of that belief, I scoffed as if to say this amount is nothing and raised my bid once more.

“The V-Live Crew will call 70 million Lena.”

“Hmph! Then Akatsuki is 80 million Lena.”

Murmur, murmur!

As the price soared to 80 million Lena, the surroundings began to become raucous.

No one could have imagined the price of the mini tractor, rumored to be worthless, would rise this high.

Moreover, they would be secretly cheering.

Considering at least one of us or Akatsuki had spent such a large sum, it seemed unlikely we could bid on other vehicles.

– Crazy! What on earth is Akatsuki doing with 80 million Lena?!

– Did they really have so much money? A few days ago, Mu-yo gave Young-jun a cash loan he called an emergency fund. Truly, only Mu-yo!

– Wow! Akatsuki is showing its guts from the very first vehicle auction!

So, how far will Mr. Young-jun go?

Completely unaware of the stakes, I smiled slyly and delivered my line as I held his wrist.

“Impressive, Akatsuki. 80 million Lena. Very well, we’ll back down.”

“Eh?”

“Please take the mini tractor from Akatsuki. Ah! Of course, if you have 80 million Lena.”

“…….”

The expression on Mr. Young-jun’s face turned pale in an instant.

Since he had declared he would win the mini tractor so easily, he probably never expected to give it up so quickly.

But he didn’t know that was precisely the trap I had set.

I had been contemplating various candidates, but I never anticipated Mr. Young-jun would fall for this one.

“Well… he brought this upon himself.”

It looked like he intended to take revenge for all I had done to him, but now it had backfired spectacularly.

Mr. Young-jun’s panicked glance darted around, searching for other bidders.

Naturally, no company would want to spend more than 80 million Lena on a mini tractor that was rumored to be useless.

“But isn’t 80 million Lena too much for a mini tractor, lol? Nevertheless, Akatsuki is bold to spend this much right out of the gate!”

“If it were me, I’d rather spend that money on a two-seater classic car. A sports car might be pushing it, but it looks possible for a two-seater classic with just a little more.”

– Long live Akatsuki! Either way, we’re now a vehicle-owning company! Plus, we managed to pull it off with just three of us?

While Mr. Young-jun was desperate, Akatsuki’s fans were enjoying the fact that they were the first company to purchase a vehicle.

Meanwhile, Mr. Lena started the countdown.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1…… ding ding!

The first vehicle was finally auctioned off.

Mr. Young-jun froze, and Mr. Lena, approaching to collect the money, wore a bewildered expression.

“Oh, no, what I meant was…”

“What? Hey! Are you kidding me right now?!”

Mr. Lena’s outrage was palpable upon hearing the context.

She had just doused the auction content she had been looking forward to with ashes from the very beginning, so her reaction was quite understandable.

“Ugh! What a disgrace. Grow up, just grow up.”

“Mr. Young-jun is great, but he can be reckless sometimes.”

The laughter from the heads of other companies continued.

Naturally, in the chat room, Akatsuki’s fandom was being roasted as well.

As the person who orchestrated all these scenes, I sat back casually, crossing my legs and awaited the unfolding conclusion.

“Ms. Seoa’s mouth is smiling, but her eyes tell a different story. I’m feeling very scared.”

“……”

What on earth are people misunderstanding?!

After a moment, once the noise settled, I slowly raised my hand and spoke.

“Then, what will become of the ownership of the mini tractor? And what was the auction price?”

“…….”

Looking at Mr. Lena’s face, deep in thought, I secretly smiled.

Everything goes as planned.
