The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 130
The inside of the auction house was bustling with activity, with many people walking about and
discussing, eliciting an interested expression on Darius‘ face.
There were several people at the exchange center, a ce where they could put up their items and
goods for auction. The staff at the exchange center would then appraise their goods and determine
how much it would be auctioned off for.
Of course, the exchange center would not forget to take their 10%mission from the amount the
items or goods were auctioned off for. The 10%mission was fixed, and would be deducted
regardless of the amount the items or goods were auctioned off for.
J noticed the interested expression on Darius‘ face and smiled softly before speaking
“Are you interested in putting up any of your properties, items or goods for auction?” J asked
nonchntly, her eyes trained on the exchange center.
Darius shook his head at her question, disying his answer. With his current wealth and status, there
was absolutely no need for him to auction off any of his properties, items or goods.
J smiled but said nothing else at his silent rejection. She then led him past the exchange center
and into the main hall where the auction would be held.
The auction hall was already upied with people, even though the auction would not begin until an
hourter, and yet more people were still arriving.
The main hall was luxuriously decorated, with the best of decoration materials used to bring out the
beauty of the hall. It was easily one of the most impressive decorations Darius had seen in his life.
Darius noted this with an impressed expression on his face, but before he could fully admire the
decorations in the hall, J led him to another section of the hall.
This section was solely reserved for the VIPs attending the auction.
Darius and J both entered the VIP section and headed to private lounge 12 which was reserved for
them and sat down. In their lounge, a particr style of curtain was used, making it hard for guests to
see the interior of the lounge. Darius and J, on the other hand, could see everything that was going
on outside the lounge clearly.
The two of them then settledfortably in the private lounge and waited for the auction to begin.
They didn‘t have to wait too long before the auction started. After one hour, the guests finally arrived,
and the auction hall was filled to the brim.
When everyone was settled down and eagerly anticipating the beginning of the auction, the emcee
appeared.
The emcee was a beautifuldy in her mid thirties. She was dressed in a white gown that showed off
her curves, and she had a mature charm to her. She was certainly charming, as the organizers of the
auction would not allow just anyone to be the emcee. The emcee had to be charming enough to the
guests; otherwise they would feel dissatisfied and less inclined to spend more money.
The emcee smiled and greeted everyone present jovially. Her smile charmed the people in the auction,
and the females present were no exception.
The emcee on seeing that she had captured the crowd‘s heart no longer hesitated and begun the
auction.
She pped her hands and two attendants drove a trolley containing a blue vase onto the stage. The
blue vase was exquisite and beautiful, and one nce told that it had been crafted by a master potter.
The emcee didn‘t waste time and delved into the history behind the vase.

“This vase was crafted by the best potter in the mid 1700s, and is regarded as an heirloom of the Chen
Royal Dynasty. It was seized as a spoil of war during the Chen war in thete 1800s. It is now being
auctioned for a starting price of 10 million dors, with increments of no less than 1 million dors.”
No sooner had the emcee finished narrating the history of the vase did someone ce a bid for the
vase.
“11 million dors!” Someone shouted.
“13 million dors!” another person counted.
Thisunched a bidding war in the auction hall, and more than ten people were involved. In the end, it
was auctioned off for an astronomical sum of 60 million dors.
Darius expected the vase to be worth a lot since it was an antique and an heirloom at that, but he didn‘t
expect the starting auction to end in a bid of 60 million dors.
It was an astronomical sum; and Darius didn‘t dare underestimate the wealth of the people present.
J took a quick glimpse at Darius, curious to see his reaction to the money spent, but he remained
stoic. She anticipated him to have a surprised expression on his face, but Darius, who was skilled at
managing his facial expressions, didn‘t have any obvious expression on his face. Disappointed, J
pouted and turned her attention back to the auction.
Thirty minutester, the auction was in full flow, with numerous objects having been auctioned off. The
lowest sum spent on an item was 60 million dors, which was for the vase, while the greatest amount
spent was 300 million dors, which was for a painting.
Although Darius was significantly richer than the lots at the auction, he still felt very dizzy when seeing
the amount of money spent in the auction.
J who invited Darius also showed her prestige, as she purchased a rare sapphire bracelet for over
70 million dors.
Although Darius knew J was from a very impressive family, he was still shocked at the fact that she
could spend 70 million dors on a bracelet without batting an eye.
Of course, if Darius‘ grandfather were here, he would have smacked Darius across the face. He had
gifted Darius over 10 billion dors when they met for the first time, so why then was he shocked by
someone spending 70 million dors on a bracelet?
The auction went on for another five minutes, yet there was no sign of the courtyard vi being
mentioned. Darius was already beginning to think that the courtyard vi wouldn‘t be auctioned off
anymore, so he was beginning to
lose interest in the auction.
However, the second heid his gaze on the next item up for auction, his eyes became bloodshot and
his blood began to boil!
