Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 177 He Is So Rich

Gerald’s voice was very calm. He said indifferently, “320 million dollars.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard what Gerald said.

For an instant, all those present burst into an uproar.

They were not surprised that Gerald raised the price.

Anyway, it seemed normal for him to raise the price again. After all, they were somewhat numb to the

price, because the price was always being raised.

But this time, the increase in the price directly doubled, which surprised everyone.

Everyone, including Chad, at that time, looked dumbfounded.

Just now, a smile appeared on Chad’s face. He was mocking these rich people in his heart. He thought,

they are ignorant fools. If I buy this knife for 16 million dollars, whether it is for my own use or selling it to the people underground, I can make a lot of money.

But now, someone made an offer, and the price directly doubled.

Chad was a doctor. He was very famous in Washington. He served many rich people. He charged a lot

of money for the treatment.

In order to save their lives, many rich people were willing to pay Chad extremely high medical fees. In

addition, Chad’s teacher was quite rich.

However, Chad wasn’t a top rich guy. All of his assets added up to nearly 160 million dollars.

Gerald’s price made Chad a little helpless.

Almost everyone looked at Gerald.

Gerald subconsciously covered his face with his hands, and so did Carolyn.

They did not want to be discovered by others.

However, Chad recognized Gerald at a glance.

“It’s him again!” There was a cold look in Chad’s eyes.

At the same time, the people who had made offers previously looked at Gerald with very unfriendly

gazes.

The knife was ranked in the top ten of the underworld arms list. It was not something that could be

measured by money.

However, at the auction, Gerald used the money to measure the knife, and they could not offer a higher

price.

Chad was a little unwilling. He gritted his teeth and stood up. He looked at Gerald and said, “Sir, we have

met before. Can you not compete with me and let me have this knife? I really like this knife.”

Gerald sneered. Gerald had a bad impression of Chad. If not for Abraham stopping Gerald, Chad would

probably have been beaten up by Gerald in the afternoon.

Gerald covered his mouth and nose and said indifferently, “Why should I do that? Who do you think you

are?”

Those present were in an uproar again.

Chad enjoyed great popularity. At that time, a rich man seemed to be unable to stand Gerald. He

chuckled and said, “Dr. Kempton, if you really like this knife, you can bid with him. I can lend you 176

million dollars. Just let your teacher return the money to me later.”

The hostess listened to their discussion. She became more and more excited. She slowed down the

speed of

dropping the hammer.

“320 million dollars, once!”

“320 million dollars, twice…”

“330 million dollars.”

Chad said, “Okay, I will borrow the money from you. When I go back, I will tell my teacher about it. I will

definitely return the money to you.” Chad then gritted his teeth and raised his card, saying, “336 million

dollars.”

Gerald sneered and raised the card again. He said lightly, “500 million dollars.”

Gerald had Chad pinned down on the price. Gerald raised the price by close to 160 million dollars each

time.

This time, the increase in price caused an uproar once again.

“Oh my gosh! He’s crazy! He’s really crazy!”

“What kind of background does this guy have?”

“Why is he willing to spend so much money on a knife? That’s a lot of money. How many of us here have

that

much money?”

“It’s 500 million dollars in cash, not only a string of numbers.”

“He is so rich.”

Chad was also stunned. Cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Gerald seemed to want to compete with Chad to the end and to get the knife for sure.

That was exactly what Gerald was thinking. He was even willing to sacrifice the entire Universe Group

for

this.

Universe Group was a company with a market value of over 16 billion dollars, and 500 million dollars

was only a small amount of money compared with that.

“500 million dollars first!”

“500 million dollars second!”

The hostess was still looking forward to someone increasing the price.

The higher the transaction price, the higher the commission she would get.

But what disappointed her was that no one increased the price.

No one took the initiative to lend money to Chad.

They knew Chad’s ability. He could afford to pay back 160 million dollars, but any more than that would

be

difficult for him to pay back.

Moreover, most people thought that it was not worth it to spend more than 16 million dollars to buy this

knife.

This knife did not look like a priceless antique. It was just sharp. Moreover, it was obviously made by a

modern craft, and its collection value was not that high.

The hostess let out a breath and said, “Last chance.”

“Bang!”

The hammer in the hostess‘ hand directly slammed down.

Then, the hostess breathed a sigh of relief. This price was already high. It was nearly ten times more

than the

highest transaction price of this auction. The commission she could get was also quite a lot.

Chad looked sullen. He turned his head and stared at Gerald.

Gerald looked at Chad with disdain.

Gerald had a good relationship with Abraham. Gerald was not happy that Chad had schemed against

Abraham.

Gerald thought, he’d better not provoke me. If he does, I don’t mind teaching him a lesson.

After the auction was over, the staff quickly brought the items over to Gerald and the others. After

handing

the knife over to Gerald, a staff member smiled and said, “Sir, please give me your golden card.”

“Shouldn’t I pay directly?” Gerald asked. He had already taken out his Diamond Card from New Bank.

“No,” the staff member said, “since the amount of the transaction fee for the auction is relatively large,

and

the golden card has a real name recorded on it, we will settle it privately after the transaction is

completed.”

Gerald was somewhat surprised. The power of this underground casino was indeed bigger than he had

imagined. It was not afraid of people running away with the money.

However, Gerald immediately remembered that those who could enter the casino were all big shots.

They

were registered and their industries were all there, so it was not difficult to find them.

Gerald nodded and handed the golden card to the staff member. The staff member held a special

machine and stuffed the golden card in it for review. When the staff member saw the name on the

machine was Kerr

Lam, he was slightly stunned.

However, the staff member did not ask any further and nodded, “It’s done!”

The staff member returned the golden card to Gerald.

Gerald smiled and threw the box at Carolyn.

Carolyn excitedly opened the box and stroked the exquisite scabbard. Her eyes were bright.

Felipe stood outside the auction house. He looked at the screen with his mouth wide open. He was very

shocked.

Felipe gritted his teeth and decided to leave.

Firstly, Felipe was afraid that Gerald would mock him when he came out.

Secondly, what happened was too much of a hit.

Felipe thought, it’s 500 million dollars.

The transaction price is 500 million dollars.

The one who bought it is so rich.

Felipe felt that his self–esteem had suffered a blow.

If Felipe knew that this item was bought by Gerald, he would be more shocked.

At that time, the second item of the auction was also brought up. It was a sword, but it was just an

ancient

greenish–bronze sword.

“This sword is a relic from ancient times. In the country, there are almost no swords that are so well

preserved.”

Gerald glanced at it. It seemed that this auction was specifically organized for weapons.

However, this sword only had a pure collection value. To Gerald, it was completely useless.

As for the collectors, the value of this sword was immeasurable. In the end, the sword was sold for 37

million

dollars.

The people who had been constantly fighting for the Sapphire Star did not bid again, which made many

people curious.

Soon, the auction came to an end. The last item was also an antique. It was not very attractive to Gerald.

Before the auction ended, Gerald and Carolyn had already left the auction venue.

The purpose of Gerald and Carolyn coming out was to see where the people who had bid before went

and then follow them to check their whereabouts.

What surprised Gerald and Carolyn was that after they came out, several people actually followed them.

Gerald grinned and said, “It seems to save a lot of trouble. These people seem to want to rob the knife.”

Carolyn smiled and said, “It seems so. If they want to follow us, let them do that first. It is almost 12

o’clock. Let’s go to the third floor to take a look first.”

Gerald nodded.

Gerald and Carolyn went to the third floor. After showing the invitation letter to the guard on the third

floor, the guard led the two of them to a private room on the third floor.

As soon as Gerald and Carolyn entered, they discovered that Kerr was sitting there in the private room.

Beside him were two beauties.

Kerr had obviously drunk a lot of wine, but at that time, he was very sober. He was not drunk at all.

Seeing Gerald and Carolyn walk in, Kerr looked at Gerald with a sad face and said, “Gerald, I did ask

you to buy something, but I didn’t ask you to buy something so expensive. It costs 500 million dollars. Do

you want me to die? I will suffer. This time, my grandfather will really freeze my bank card.”
