Chapter 71 - 71 To Whom Does The Flower Fall?
71 To Whom Does The Flower Fall?
“130 million!”
The price had already reached this point, but there were still people who kept increasing the price. The price reached a new high again and again.
“140 million. Everyone’s so generous. Since that’s the case, why don’t we increase the bid by 20 million?!”
The audience was completely ungrateful.
This old thing, wasn’t he digging a hole for others?
If this continued, he would have to pay at least 10 to 20 million yuan.
Even if they paid all their assets, it would only be enough to pay the penalty for breach of contract. Then, no one would continue to bid.
No one had the courage to do so. They could only watch the show and see who the winner would be.
“Old master Liu is right. I’ll raise this price!”
The city lord’s majestic voice came from a private room on the second floor.
Everyone was familiar with this voice.
However, he rarely saw the city lord outside.
He didn’t expect that he’d attract the city lord this time. It seemed that this thing was really worth it to risk his family’s fortune.
“160 million!” The white-haired man said.
The city lord’s face was indifferent as he observed the movements around him. The price would probably go higher at this point.
However, he didn’t care. Because he did have the financial resources, he didn’t think much of the price.
The Liu family’s representative thought for a moment and said, “180 million.”
Everyone sighed.
Were these two immortals fighting over money?
Mortals were not worthy of interrupting!
The assets of the Liu and Li families were about the same, about seven to eight hundred million yuan each.
Even though the crystal was precious and rare, he would still have to use a quarter of his family’s wealth to obtain it.
However, his level was too low!
Was this deal worth it?
Assets were only one aspect. Other than that, there were also liquid funds.
Some people had huge assets, but if they wanted to withdraw a million yuan at any time, they could. He, on the other hand, might not.
Therefore, these families were preparing for the auction by taking out so much liquid capital in advance. However, some of them might not be able to take it out due to the lack of time.
Hence, those who knew about the other party’s background thought that they were acting cool.
“It’s just an innate talent crystal. Is there a need to gamble off all of your life’s savings?”
“I bid 200 million. If there are higher bids, I’ll stop here,” The city lord said.
The city lord had pushed the onus on the Liu family.
His tone was calm, but what would the Liu family do if he raised the price to 200 million?
If the Liu family made a bid, the city lord would withdraw from the auction. It would save not only face but also money.
If the other party didn’t continue bidding, he would be able to get this crystal at a high price.
It had already reached his ideal price, and it would be inappropriate if it went any higher.
At this moment, old master Liu’s heart was extremely conflicted.
He looked at his subordinate beside him, a little worried.
“Do you have enough funds on hand?”
“It’s not looking good!”
The old man sighed when he heard this answer.
It was destined that he would not be able to continue bidding, so he would not be able to get this item.
“These two families are fighting to the death. I wonder who will get this thing in the end.”
“It all depends on the Liu family’s last gamble. If the Liu family makes another move, the city lord will give up.”
“If the Liu family continues, I’m afraid they will lose half of their assets.”
Everyone looked at Elder Liu’s private room in unison. Elder Liu was standing on the balcony of the room and looking down.
He had wanted to ask his subordinates to mobilize the funds.
Then, a voice came from Private Room 1.
Everyone’s gaze shifted from old man Liu’s private room to Private Room 1.
Private Room 1 was simply a God of Fortune. It couldn’t be described as rich and overbearing, yet it was a pile of money!
“The bid from Private Room 1 has been raised to 230 million. It’s currently the highest. If there’s no increase in bids, then the three items today will all go to Private Room 1.”
Everyone was surprised.
Who was the person sitting here? he was so rich that he could take three items at once.
So, Private Room 1’s spending today had already reached 300 million.
The city lord paused.
“Forget it! It’ll be hard to explain to the family if one spends recklessly.”
The city lord looked at Private Room 1 and was immediately interested.
“I wonder if this friend can show himself. Friend, you shouldn’t be from the city, right?”
Everyone felt that what he said made sense.
However, Ling Feng’s expression was thoughtful. He did not refute the other party, nor did he explain himself.
“There’s no need for that.”
The cold answer was hard to read.
In the end, old master Liu decided not to continue.
“It seems that I’m not fated to play with this thing. Forget it. I’m not playing this game.”
The two competitors who had been fighting fervently just now had both withdrawn.
In the end, Ling Feng took the crystal by offering the highest bid.
Bai Qianlang was slightly surprised.
This kid spent all the money that had just entered his account. He began to wonder if he was a prodigal or if he had some kind of foresight.
He slapped the folding fan on his hand.
“Congratulations! The items will be delivered to you soon!”
The three items were the finale, and he took them all.
Who was the person in Private Room 1? This was too curious.
The Liu family was also very interested in this. let’s go and see who this person is. But don’t offend him. This person is definitely not to be trifled with.
“Just like the Liu family, go and find this person,” the city lord ordered his subordinates.
Other than these two, the others also took action. They were very interested in the person in Private Room 1. They really wanted to know who it was and if it was a big shot from the underworld. If it were, they really wanted to get to know him.
However, their behavior was not uncommon in the auction hall. In fact, it was very normal.
Perhaps it was because he wanted to know who this person was, or perhaps he wanted to obtain the item in his hands that he did not manage to bid for through improper means.
All these were unknown.
After Ling Feng paid, he took the stuff and left.
The staff knocked on the door and entered. “The old master has instructed you to leave through the secret passage. There are already many people gathered outside the door.”
The Bai family was meticulous and thoughtful, and he had neglected this point. After all, those old things didn’t get anything today, so they must be angry.
If someone had evil thoughts, it would be reasonable.
That was why the Bai family had done this. They had made everyone come up empty-handed, and they would never be able to see who the person in private room number one was.
To prevent this disaster from happening.
Ling Feng was very cooperative.
This couldn’t be better.
“Many thanks!”
Upon taking the items, Ling Feng followed the staff and left through a secret passage in the room.
When nobody paid attention, he walked behind the staff members and produced his clone. He let the clone leave with the staff members while he stayed in the room.
Everyone dispersed, and he disguised himself as a staff member and successfully sneaked out.
No one knew. They only felt that the person in Private Room 1 had already disappeared without a trace.
In fact, Ling Feng’s actions were because he felt that it was better to be careful. The Bai family wasn’t that trustworthy.
It was better to believe in yourself than others. This was also a quote from Su Ranran.
After leaving the auction house, he recalled his clone.
It was already nighttime when they got home.
The Liu family didn’t see anyone and felt incredulous. “How could there be no one? you must have missed it!”
It was the same for the city lord.
No one else had seen the true appearance of the bidder in Private Room 1.
However, what had happened in this auction, where three items had been auctioned off in a row, and hundreds of millions of yuan had been invested, had already been spread.
Everyone agreed that the guest in Private Room 1 was a very mysterious character.
Some thought that he might be from another world, while others felt that he might be a wealthy young master from another city who had the ability to spend a lot of money.
However, when someone guessed it was Ling Feng, many people laughed at how impossible it sounded.
