Chapter 251: A treasure that defies heaven

Chapter 251 A treasure that defies heaven

However, the bidding war did not end there. Another noble stood up, his eyes flashing with anxiety and expectation. He knew that this treasure was crucial to his son's path of spiritual cultivation.

 “Eight hundred and thirty thousand!” The nobleman quoted the new price without any sign of weakness. Although his voice was trembling, it was full of determination and persistence.

The atmosphere in the venue became increasingly tense, and every price increase was like a spark on a powder keg that could ignite the entire explosion at any time.

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand!" Xiaoyao Goutou increased the price again. His voice was already a little hoarse, but the determination in his eyes did not diminish at all.

However, the bidding war appears to have reached a stalemate. Whenever Xiaoyao Goutou increases its price, others will always follow suit without giving in. Every bid they made was like a challenge to Xiaoyao Goutou, which made him feel even more stressed.

Suzaku stood aside, looking at the nobles in front of him who were no longer calm and elegant, and felt a sense of despair in his heart. She once thought that she could buy back the glory of her family and her father with money, but at this moment, the happiness brought by these two treasures being sold for a high price of 350,000 yuan was completely defeated by this series of skyrocketing figures.

Lin Fan also felt the tense atmosphere at the scene, and his breath became colder and colder. Looking at the blushing Xiaoyao Goutou who was arguing with other nobles, a strong desire suddenly surged in his heart - how great it would be if he could own hundreds of millions of assets!

 But the reality is cruel. No matter how talented he is in fighting, he is now being left out in this extremely luxurious place. This feeling of powerlessness made him feel very frustrated, but he was unwilling to give up.

Lin Fan clenched his fists and tried hard to stay calm. He suppressed his violent heartbeat again and again, and suppressed it again... He knew that he could not be impulsive and must remain rational to face the next challenge.

 “One million!” Just when everyone thought that this bidding war would go on endlessly, Xiaoyao Goutou roared out an astronomical figure like a furious lion!

As soon as this number came out, the entire venue suddenly fell into deathly silence. Everyone was shocked by the price. They stared at Xiaoyao Goutou with wide eyes, as if to confirm whether they heard correctly.

Xiaoyao Goutou's face has turned livid, his eyes flashing with madness and determination. The price was far beyond his budget, but for the glory of the family, he couldn't care so much. He must win this bidding war, no matter what the cost!

 At this moment, Xiaoyao Goutou has lost his former calmness and elegance. He is like an enraged beast, ready to use all his strength to defend his dignity and interests. The bidding war also reached an unprecedented climax because of his one million offer.

Suzaku looked at this scene, his heart filled with helplessness and bitterness. She understood that this bidding war was not only about money and treasures, but also about the face and glory of these nobles. On this luxurious stage, everyone has become an actor. They use money and power to perform thrilling dramas one after another.

Lin Fan also took a deep breath, knowing that this bidding war was finally coming to an end. Although he was not involved, at this moment he knew the truth and cruelty behind this drama better than anyone else. He stood there silently, his eyes deep and firm, as if waiting for some important moment to arrive. The whole place fell into silence, as if the air had frozen, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing echoing in the air. The few nobles who were bound to win were trembling slightly at this moment. They looked at each other with hesitation and fear in their eyes.

Jin Fei held Xiaoyao Goutou's trembling body tightly, and she could feel the fluctuations in his heart. However, at this critical moment, she chose to remain calm, and a smile slowly bloomed on her pretty face.

This smile is like the spring breeze blowing over the cold lake, bringing a bit of relief to the tense and suffocating atmosphere. She knew very well that what Xiaoyao Goutou needed at this moment was support and encouragement, not panic urging.

 “First time in a million!” The auctioneer’s voice echoed in the empty auction house. He felt soaked at the moment, as if he had fought a hard battle. He couldn't help but look back at Xiaoyao Goutou, only to see the latter glance at Suzaku, who had never dared to make an offer. At this moment, Xiaoyao Goutou seemed to have regained his lost dignity and glory. He felt comfortable all over, like a king who ruled the world. He had a panoramic view of the admiring looks cast by those noble women, and his heart was filled with unprecedented excitement and pride.

However, at this exciting moment, "For the second time, is it true that no one has raised the price?" The auctioneer's voice sounded again, but with an imperceptible tremor.

"Okay, I admit that you are a little brave this time, Xiaoyao's boy." A lazy voice suddenly intervened in the bidding war, breaking the brief calm.

Xiaoyao Goutou trembled violently, and he stared at the fat man Osmilan who had been resting with his eyes wide open. At this moment, he felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, as if he had a premonition of the coming storm. Could he... The doubt in Xiaoyao Goutou's mind was completely shattered by Osmilan's next move before it was fully formed.

"It's a pity, I have to decide on this crystal stone." Osmilan stood up slowly. He was not tall, but he exuded a powerful aura at this moment. The eyes that were originally squinted suddenly bloomed with a captivating light at this moment, as if two sharp swords were piercing Xiaoyao Goutou's heart.

 “I’ll pay, two million!” Osmilan’s voice was not loud, but it spread clearly throughout the entire auction house. At this moment, except for the sound of gasping for air, everyone seemed to be frozen in place. They opened their mouths wide, but could not make any sound, as if they were being strangled by an invisible magic hand. The feeling of depression and suffocation filled the air, and even the limbs seemed to become cold.

The expressions that looked like ghosts fell into Osmilan's eyes, and the smile on his lips became even thicker. He seemed to enjoy the pleasure of controlling the overall situation and subverting everyone's perceptions.

 In his opinion, the panic and confusion of these nobles are the best foil for his wealth and status.
