Chapter 1681 Super Rich
The starting bid was US$100?
Everyone did think they had heard wrongly.
Anything that Ko San sold started at US$1 million or more. How could it start at only US$100? Was
this a joke?
Everyone was equally puzzled.
"I repeat, the starting bid is US$100," said the auctioneer with a smile. "This manual belongs to
whoever it''s fated to be with, and its value cannot be determined by money. As such, Mr Ko would
like this item to start at US$100."
He pointed to the page inside the ss case. "Alright now, everyone can start bidding!"
"$50 million."

Everyone was still trying to guess what Ko San was trying to do with such a low starting bid. They
didn''t know what price to call either.
And they didn''t know if each call would be an additional $100 or some other number.
But before anyone figured these things out, a loud voice resonated through the hall.
US$50 million!
Someone seated in another corner was about to raise his que and call for US$1,000 when he
heard this other bid and his hand awkwardly stopped midair.
US$50 million?
The price went from $100 to $50 million from the very first call?
Which crazy idiot was this?!
Everyone''s gaze instantly fell on the first row, where Jiang Ning had gently raised his que and
hadn''t moved an inch.
Had he heard wrongly? The starting price was $100! Not $10 million!
And even if it started at $10 million, how could someone immediately call for a price that was $40
million above the starting bid?
The entire hall fell silent and had differing opinions on this matter.
Some people were staring at Jiang Ning and wondered about his intentions. Some were also
staring at the manual and wondered if Jiang Ning knew some secret about this manual, which made
him so determined to get this item.
"$60 million!" Another voice rang out before they could figure anything out.
Everyone turned to see that the voice belonged to Lee Seongbong!
He raised his que and called out his bid, but before he could even put his que down...
"$100 million," Jiang Ning raised his que again without the slightest hesitation.
The crowd went into an uproar again.
Many of them even felt like their throats were being squeezed!
This Jiang Ning...was definitely nuts!
"$110 mil..."
"$200 million."
Lee Seongbong raised his que again, but before he could even finish his sentence, Jiang Ning
made a call as well. This time, it was even worse. He pushed the price up to US$200 million.
That was only the third offer!
And the starting bid was $100!
Everyone was staring with wide eyes. They finally realized that Jiang Ning wasn''t nuts. He was just
ridiculously rich...
Lee Seongbong''s expression didn''t flinch and he raised his que again.
Jiang Ning didn''t even give him the chance to speak.
"$500 million," said Jiang Ning as he raised his que.
"Sir, please be patient. That gentleman raised his que first, so you need to let him state his bid
first," said the auctioneer kindly.
There was a gleam in his eye as well, because he had never seen any auction proceed like this
before. The price was going up by tens of millions, and even famous paintings weren''t auctioned off
like this.
Furthermore, this was just a boxing manual with a mysterious origin.
The auctioneer had said these words only to give Lee Seongbong a chance to make a bid. Jiang
Ning had already called for $500 million, so surely Lee Seongbong would have to call for a higher
bid.
Jiang Ningughed and just kept his que in the air. He turned to nce at Lee Seongbong. "Mr
Lee, just keep calling your bids. I''ll add $100 million on top of any bid he makes."
WOONG.
Everyone''s head was spinning.
Was this a fight between the two of them?
They didn''t care what they were fighting over and just wanted to win with the amount of money
spent?
Things certainly looked that way.
But was it worth throwing away hundreds of millions for this tiny piece of paper?
This was just helping Ko San to make a killing.
