Most of the people in the auction hall would increase the price by ten million each time they made a bid. Nobody would have expected that Hu Bawan would increase the price by another three billion in one single bid.
“Damn! Who the hell is that person? He is just too damn arrogant!”
“You are right! Now, the price of the white jade Ganoderma has jumped from five billion to eight billion!”
“If I’m not mistaken, that person should be the leader of some ancient faction!”
“Ancient faction? No wonder he has so much money with him! Considering that most of the ancient factions have accumulated their wealth since hundreds of years ago, there was no way that an ordinary person could compete with them.”
“It seems like he is going to get his hands on the thousand-year-old white jade Ganoderma!”
“You are right…”
Most of the people in the hall had lost the desire to acquire the white jade Ganoderma. Considering that the requirement to step foot on the Paradise Island was to have one billion dollars in one’s bank account, most of the people on the island were definitely not wealthy enough to be compared to an ancient faction. Also people like Pikaka and Focker were the kind of people that they could never dream of becoming. Only a handful of people on the island could increase every single bid by billions!
“Auctioneer! I don’t think there is anyone in this hall can compete with me! Just sell it to me! Don’t waste my time!”
Feeling impatient, Hu Bawan was causing an uproar. Clearly, he could not wait to jump on the stage and get his hands on the thousand-year-old white jade Ganoderma.
“Hold on! Hu Bawan! Do you really think my existence does not matter to you?! I will increase the bidding price to 8.3 billion!”
Suddenly, an elegant lady spoke out as a domineering aura filled the hall immediately. This lady was none other than the leader of Tidal Faction, Lin Caoyin! Promptly, everyone turned around and placed their attention on her.
“Damn! Another filthy rich individual! And she just added another thirty million to the bidding price! Something interesting is about to happen!”
“Judging from that woman’s expression, a fight is bound to happen soon!”
“This is getting more and more interesting! I wonder who will get their hands on the white jade Ganoderma eventually!”
…
In the auction hall, everyone was looking forward to a good drama.
“8.5 billion!” shouted Hu Bawan.
“8.51 billion!” shouted Lin Caoyin while holding up her paddle.
“8.6 billion!”
“8.61 billion!”
“Motherf*cker! You bitch! What do you want from me?!”
“I’m going to bring this white jade Ganoderma home no matter what! I will always outbid you by ten million!”
“You…”
Feeling angry, Hu Bawan was contemplating to pour all his money to contend with Lin Caoyin.
Upon seeing that, Chen Xiaobei could not help but compliment Zhang Xiaoshen.
“It seems like you are worthy of the title, Jianghu All-Seer! The thing that you just told me is pretty damn accurate! It seems like Lin Caoyin’s desire to acquire the white jade Ganoderma is way stronger than Hu Bawan!”
“Of course! Collecting intel has always been my forte!”
“So, who do you think will get their hands on the white jade Ganoderma in the end?”
“If I’m not mistaken, Lin Caoyin will be the one that will get her hands on the white jade Ganoderma! That woman over there is no joke! And she has prepared for a very long time to purchase this item! I think the money that she has with her is no less than Hu Bawan!”
After hearing that, Chen Xiaobei did not respond to Zhang Xiaoshen. All he did was smile at him.
In the first row.
Hikari Okazaka and Damien were sitting in the middle of the row side by side with each other.
“Mr. Damien. Are you interested in betting with me?” said Hikari Okazaka in a joking manner.
“What do you want to bet?” replied Damien with a smile.
“Let’s bet who will get their hands on the white jade Ganoderma in the end! Let’s bet ten Spiritual Stones! Small bets like these are always fun!”
Upon hearing that, the people that sat at the second row were shocked to the core. The value of ten Spiritual Stones was estimated at ten billion yuan! That was equivalent to fifteen billion dollars! To most people, fifteen billion dollars was definitely an astronomical value to them. To Hikari Okazaka, fifteen billion was just a small bet.
“Alright! Deal! I bet that Lin Caoyin will acquire the white jade Ganoderma in the end!”
To their surprise, Damien agreed with the bet without any hesitation in his mind. From here, one could see that the grand duke of Blood Descendant is another god-tier rich individual. He did not even flinch after making a fifteen billion bet with Hikari Okazaka.
“If that’s the case, I will put my bet on Hu Bawan!”
“Yinmu, I will let you be the judge of this bet. Eh? Why are you frowning? What’s wrong?”
Upon hearing that, Damien could not help but look at her as well.
“I feel like this is not as simple as we thought it would be… Lin Caoyin and Hu Bawan might not be the one that acquires the white jade Ganoderma!” Demonic Fox pursed her lips and said.
“How is that even possible? And why do you think that way?”
Hikari Okazaka and Damien voiced out their concern at the same time.
“I can’t tell what exactly… It’s just a feeling…”
She did not dare to voice out her concern that was being hidden in her heart. The reason behind her bad feeling was because she looked at Chen Xiaobei eye to eye earlier. In her mind, Chen Xiaobei was her sworn enemy. As long as Chen Xiaobei was around her, anything could happen. The reason why she did not dare to tell Hikari Okazaka and Damien was that she did something dirty for Chen Xiaobei earlier.
“This beautiful lady over there. Forgive me for being rude. I don’t think your feeling is right. Unless, Mr. Hikari and I go and bid for the white jade Ganoderma, there’s no one else in this place could snatch it away from Lin Caoyin and Hu Bawan!” said Damien haughtily.
“That’s right! Other than me and Mr. Damien! No one else has so much money in their bank account! That’s why I don’t see a third outcome in this bet!” said Hikari Okazaka in a prideful manner.
Rendering speechless, Demonic Fox could not help but put her attention on the last row.
Could the kid that sat at the last row surprise everyone?
The feeling inside Demonic Fox’s heart was getting stronger and stronger. At the same time, the fight between Lin Caoyin and Hu Bawan was coming to an end.
“Bitch! I’m willing to pay ten billion for it! I dare you to add on another ten million to it!”
Judging from Hu Bawan’s furious look, it seemed like Hu Bawan had already come out with all the money that he had with him.
“Hehe… Since you insisted, I shall fulfill your wish!”
Lin Caoyin did not hesitate to raise her paddle once again as she could afford it.
“Y-y-you…”
Feeling troubled, Hu Bawan did not have enough money to compete with Lin Caoyin anymore. In other words, he had surrendered in this fierce battle.
“10.1 billion! Going once! Going twice! Going thrice… Sold!!!”
The auctioneer landed the little hammer on the table and the deal was made.
“Bitch! How dare you take away the thing that I wanted for a very long time from me?! Watch your back!”
“Are you trying to declare a war here? I’m always at Tidal Faction! Just come and knock at my door and I will have some fun with you!”
“Alright! Just you wait!”
Hu Bawan gritted his teeth as murderous intent emanated from him. Upon witnessing that, one could guess that these two factions would definitely declare war at each other for a white jade Ganoderma!
Suddenly, a relaxing voice could be heard from the back row.
“Faction Leader Lin! Do you mind handing over the white jade Ganoderma to me?” asked Chen Xiaobei with a smile.
Immediately, everyone landed their attention on Chen Xiaobei – as if he was the biggest idiot in this world.
“Brother… What the hell are you trying to do this time?”
Taken aback, Zhang Xiaoshen quickly lowered down his head and pretended that he did not know Chen Xiaobei.
