Chapter 701: 250 Million

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The moment the gilded mask appeared, it attracted the attention of everyone present.

After all, none of them were fools. Anyone with a modicum of experience could estimate its value with just a glance.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the starting bid for this gilded mask is five million.

Please place your bids!”

The auctioneer waited in silence after speaking. Unlike before, he didn’t fervently set the scene or describe how amazing the item was.

He knew that from the moment the mask was revealed, no words were needed. Anyone with discernment would be eager to possess it.

Everyone had anticipated a fierce bidding war, but who would’ve thought that the first bid would instantly outbid the majority of the attendees?

“One hundred million!”

Hearing this, the crowd was stunned.

Who starts their bid like that? It’s twenty times the starting price!

Some attendees, lacking the financial muscle but wanting the thrill of participating, were now embarrassed.

They all shifted their gaze to the source of the bid.

When they realized that the bidder was Luo Feng, they were even more flabbergasted.

“Who is this young man? I’ve never seen him before. How is he qualified to participate in this auction?”

“I agree. Is he here to muddy the waters? Where are the organizers? Shouldn’t they intervene?”

Although it was a small gathering of only a few dozen people, the room buzzed with chatter, sounding as if hundreds were present. Everyone was discussing Luo Feng’s identity.

The auctioneer, aware of the situation, picked up his gavel and gave it a slight tap.

“Rest assured, everyone. Our entrance criteria are strict. If this gentleman is here, it means he is indeed qualified to attend. As for concerns about his financial capability, you need not worry.”

“At the very least, a mere hundred million should not be a problem for him.” After the auctioneer’s words, the crowd gradually calmed down.

Luo Feng’s determination to have the mask made others hesitate to bid against him.

However, the young man named Blake, sitting nearby, had other ideas.

He had always wanted to get back at Luo Feng. Seeing Luo Feng’s eagerness, wasn’t this the perfect opportunity to drive up the price?

“I bid one hundred and fifty million!”

With Blake’s shout, everyone realized that today’s auction was going to get heated.

It was entertaining to them. The fiercer Luo Feng and Blake fought, the more entertained they felt.

“Two hundred million!”

“Two hundred and fifty million!”

Blake was relentless. Luo Feng frowned, realizing that Blake was intentionally causing trouble.

Although Luo Feng had the money, he didn’t want to overspend. The mask, while precious, had its value limit. It certainly wasn’t worth two hundred and fifty million.

Luo Feng’s initial threshold was exactly two hundred and fifty million. If he bid any higher, and if his increment was small, Blake would undoubtedly seize the opportunity to push further.

After careful consideration, Luo Feng decided not to continue bidding.

“Two hundred and fifty million! Any more bids?”

The auctioneer asked, visibly delighted. After all, the final price was tied to his commission. The higher the bidders went, the more he earned.

But with Luo Feng not bidding anymore, he reluctantly began the countdown.

“Two hundred and fifty million for the first time!”

Everyone’s eyes were on Luo Feng, but he remained motionless.

“Two hundred and fifty million for the second time!”

Seeing that the deal was about to be sealed, Blake panicked.

He had intended to force Luo Feng to bid higher, just as Luo Feng had previously made him overpay.

But now, if Luo Feng backed out, would he really have to part with two hundred and fifty million for a mere mask?

Blake and his father had only come for fun and to network. Spending such an amount would surely infuriate his father.ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by Novᴇ(l)ꜰɪre .ɴᴇt

Growing desperate, Blake shouted at Luo Feng:

“Hey, weren’t you so arrogant just now? Keep bidding against me!”

“If you dare to bid again, watch how I deal with you!”

It was clear to everyone that Blake was panicking. Even the auctioneer could tell.

Either Blake was maliciously driving up the price, or he simply didn’t have the funds.

Regardless, the auction was now tainted.

With a stern face, the auctioneer made the final call.

“Sold for two hundred and fifty million!”

“Congratulations to Mr. Blake for acquiring the gilded mask for two hundred and fifty million!”

As the gavel fell, Blake’s face turned ashen, and his father’s expression wasn’t much better..
