The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 131
The item put up for auction was a brown leather book, and it looked ordinary, but Darius‘ blood kept
boiling at the sight of the book. He could feel an innate connection with the book. and he could barely
keep himself from rushing over to the stage and grabbing the book.
J noticed Darius‘ keen attention on the book, but couldn‘t understand why Darius was so interested
in the book. After all, the book looked so ordinary and she couldn‘t find anything special in as she
looked at it. Just as she was about to question Darius about the book; the emcee‘s voice echoed in the
auction hall.
“Next, we have the ‘Journals of Madra‘ up for auction. As we all know, Madra was the fifth and most
sessful emperor. This leather books contain the journals of Madra, his exploits, and his insights
from his reign.”
As soon as the emceepleted her statement, majority of the people present eyes widened in shock
The “Journals of Madra‘ was a book with great value attached to it. It was lost in the Great War, and the
aristocrats liad no idea where the book disappeared to after it was lost. Who would have expected the
book to suddenly make an appearance here at the auction in Vane
city?
The emcee had a satisfied look on lier face after gaining the attention of the guests present, before
speaking “The starting bid for the book is 20 million dors, with increment of no less than 5 million
dors.” The emcee stated. No sooner had the emcee concluded her statement did someone call out
an opening bid. “30 million dors!” the person stated confidently. “35 million dors!” another person
immediately countered.

“40 million dors!” another guest ced his bid instantly.
The importance of the book could not be over emphasized to history lovers and schrs. It was
something that greatly interested them, so they would naturally not be stingy when bidding for the book.
Darius knew at once that he had to get the book. He could feel an innate connection to the book, and
he would definitely regret it if he was unable to get the book. Hence, he ced his bid without any
hesitation.
of course, it was an astronomical sum.
“100 million dors!” Darius called out powerfully.
There was immediate silence in the hall the moment Darius ced his bid. 100 million dors?
That was five times the original price for the book!
The people present were all sessful and wealthy people from all walks of life. Although the book
was a very valuable one with rich history, it wasn‘t so valuable that they would spend a
J looked at Darius with astonishment in her gaze. She, like the rest of the guests present, was
surprised at Darius‘ decision to spend a hundred million dors on the book When she recalled the
rumors about how poor Darius was, and how he acted now, she sucked in a cold breath. She could
barely connect the two people together. Darius ignored the stares the guests threw his way. He was

because of that. Otherwise, it would have been a troublesome case. The emcee regained her

After concluding the auction of the book, the emcee auctioned the next item that was brought in by the
attendants, and it was auctioned for a fair sum of 30 inillion dors.
Time flew by, and before Darius knew it, the time to auction the courtyard vi finally came. Darius had
almost resigned to the fate that the courtyard vi, which was his original reason foring here,
would not be auctioned off anymore, so he was very d when the emcee finally mentioned it. The
emcee showed the pictures of the vi, and the attractions beside the vi. Darius was very impressed
with the pictures he saw.
The vi was veryrge, but not unnecessarilyrge. It was located in a serene area, and it had an
artificialke in it. The interior of the courtyard vi was also beautiful and satisfactory. It perfectly
suited Darius‘ tastes.
The auctionmenced, and Darius won the bid for the courtyard vi for a sum of 200 million dors
after a brief bidding war. J‘s eyebrows itched at the way Darius spent his money. He had spent 300
million dors in a single night! It was an exorbitant sum, even for her.
She could understand his reason for spending 200 million dors on the courtyard vi, as there was a
bidding war, which made the value of the courtyard vi soar four times its initial price. However, the
100 million dors spent on the ‘Journals of Madra‘ was nothing more than a waste of money in her
view. The book was simply overpriced, and since Darius was not a history major in Kingston University,
why was he so interested in the book? Darius noticed J casting exasperated and curious nces
at him, but did nothing. In the
end, J gave up and returned her attention back to the auction.
The auction continued for another ten minutes before it finally came to an end. Darius waved J
goodbye after thanking her sincerely for the opportunity she gave him. If it weren‘t for her inviting him to
this auction, he would not have gotten the chance to get the book, and even though he would find a
new vi, he would have to expend more energy to find one that suited his tastes just like the courtyard
vi. He stayed behind and signed the documents transferring ownership of the courtyard vi to him,
and collected the keys before exiting the auction hall. As he walked, Darius fell into deep thoughts. This
auction was a bit of an eye opener for him, as it opened new options for him to explore. Despite his
impressive background as the heir to the Reid consortium, he had never attended an event like this;
not because he didn‘t have the status to, but because he didn‘t pay much attention to events like this.
He decided to be more open to auctions like these in the future. After all, with the presence of
influential individuals always guaranteed, he may be able to purchase one or two important objects or
goods in the future.
