Chapter 458 The White-hot Bidding Competition
"Four million gold coins!"
When the bid was called out, everyone in the hall turned silent again. It shocked everyone. All the
warriors dropped their jaws and found that they could not make a sound. They were totally seized by
surprise. Even Vito, who had remained calm the whole time, was stunned by such a price.
They turned their eyes to the owner of the voice, trying to identify the courageous and rich guy who had
just increased the price from three million to four million in just one bid. It was a very courageous

decision.
"Ricky! Are you out of your mind? Are you sure that the thing you have is really worth four million gold
coins? I''m worried about this!" Soar and Tina asked Ricky in surprise. Both of them were shocked by
Ricky''s bid too. It would take a long time for them to digest the news.
Immediately, Soar sent him a message through telepathy and said, "Ricky, I know you have the Chaotic
Fire Zone and that you are not afraid of the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce. They have a spiritual
emperor though! The emperor must be extremely powerful too! I''m afraid that, if you can''t pay this
price, they will hunt you no matter where you go next."
"Take it easy, guys. I would have never called out that bid if I was not sure about what I was doing,"
Ricky replied with confident eyes. "I''m one hundred percent sure that the final price of this skeleton will
exceed four million, and that it may even reach five million. So, why can''t I just increase the price to
four million directly? I don''t want to waste time."
"I admire you so much, Ricky! You are so courageous and decisive. Maybe that''s the reason why I
chose you to be my closest friend!" Soar responded with admiration in his eyes.
Tina, on the other hand, liked Ricky even more. There was affection in her eyes. She had encountered
many geniuses in the past, but Ricky was the very first one whom she found so courageous and
charming.
There might be many people who were willing to spend four million gold coins for Tina, but they were
definitely not as sweet as Ricky. Tina was sure of that.
Tina had feelings for Ricky. After hearing him call out the bid of four million gold coins in order to win
the skeleton she needed, Tina loved him even more. There was no way she could resist his charm.
"Oh, it''s them! It''s the three guys who won the egg!" The throng began to whisper to each other in
excitement.
"Are they out of their minds? They''ve already spent so much money on the egg. How can they still
have four million gold coins?"
"They probably don''t know the rules of the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce very well. They never let
anyone use credit," another warriormented. "If they can''t pay four million gold coins after the
auction is over, they are going to face a miserable result."
At that point in time, Vito also grew serious as he squinted his eyes. He did not think Ricky could afford
four million gold coins either.
"Damn it! Are they tired of living? Even we, the Golden Leopard Valley, dare not to behave recklessly in
the territory of the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce. How dare they do this? They are really being
unbelievably stupid!" the young master of the Golden Leopard Valley sneered coldly in reaction to
Ricky''s bid.
"Young master, there are two possibilities, I think. They offered this price, either because they have
some powerful force supporting them, or because they are being arrogant and stupid," the old man
replied with a serious look.
He was worried that Ricky and his friends were from an organization that had a demi-spiritual emperor.
"Both you and I know all the forces that have a demi-spiritual emperor in the Oriental Realm. We''ve
never seen those three ever before. Also, we can''t sense any familiar energy from them either. That
means that they are not from the Oriental Realm.
They must be from anothernd. The Golden Leopard Valley never fears of the forces in othernds.
So, you don''t need to be so concerned about this," the young master exined.
"Hopefully, you are right. I hope the same thing is true, too," the old man said as he nodded. Deep
down inside, he was still very worried. He did not believe that the three people were that stupid or
reckless. It was highly possible that they had some stronger force supporting them secretly. He decided
not to argue with his young master for the time being because it would not make any difference
anyway.
"My friends, I''m very impressed by your bid. So, let me just kindly remind you—don''t raise the price if
you don''t have enough gold coins to back it up," the spiritual king beast from the Golden Rhino tribe
said in concern. "You will be unable to take the consequences of a false bid!"
"My friends, please be kind enough to tell me, are you sure that you have enough money? The
Luxurious Chamber of Commerce never gives credit. That is our tradition; once you step out of this
hall, we might not be able to find you again, and we can''t take that risk," Vito also asked in a serious
voice at that point.
"Thank you for your kind reminder, and yes, I know all about the rules of the Luxurious Chamber of
Commerce," Ricky replied loudly upon hearing Vito''s question. "We are not stupid and we would never
put our own lives at risk over this.
So, please rest assured! We do have enough money."
"All right! I''m pleased to know that. Well, I will not suspect you of lying anymore. Everybody, the auction
will continue, so feel free to call out your bids again," Vito imed with a smile. He decided to trust
Ricky. He did not believe that anyone would dare to y tricks on the Luxurious Chamber of
Commerce.
"What? How can it be? Are they really that rich? I just can''t believe it!" some warriors eximed in
disbelief upon hearing the conversation between Ricky and Vito.
They had no idea where the three people came from, and did not believe that they were that rich.
"We must kill them, no matter what! I hate them so much! I don''t want to see them getting to live in this
world anymore," the young master roared in anger at that point. There was rage in his eyes.
The old man, on the other hand, did not say anything in response. He just shook his head helplessly.
He knew that a man who had hatred and jealousy in his heart would never make great achievements.
That was exactly what his young master''s situation was.
What he had just said did make sense though. Those three people must be punished! He and his
young master had already messed with them, so the old man was sure that they woulde after
them when the auction was over.
The hall fell into silence again after the turmoil yed out.
No one called out a higher bid after that. They were unable to afford more than four million gold coins.
"So, no one has decided to give a higher bid after this? If no, this skeleton is going to be theirs," Vito
said, giving everyone ast chance to bid.
As a matter of fact, he was a little bit unhappy with the price of four million gold coins. He had expected
a higher price. After all, a spiritual space tool at the intermediate stage had been sold at the price of
three point eight million coins earlier.
"Hello, my friends from the Golden Rhino tribe, I have a suggestion. Let''s offer up three million gold
coins respectively topete over the skeleton. That is six million in total and I''m sure we will win it.
Later we can divide the skeleton between us. What do you think?" the spiritual king from the Heaven
Pce said to the spiritual king beast of the Golden Rhino tribe through telepathy at that point in time.
"We don''t trust human beings," the spiritual king beast replied.
"Have some confidence, my friends. The Golden Rhino tribe is as strong as the Heaven Pce. You
don''t need to be worried that we will y any trick on you. We are not that reckless as to cheat you,"
the spiritual king from the Heaven Pce said.
"Both of us can pay three million gold coins and we will take half of the skeleton respectively. That is a
perfect deal, isn''t it? Maybe we don''t need even need to pay three million and we can still get the
skeleton. It is a perfect n."
"Well, in that case, we''d like to give it a try. If you break your word, you are going to face some
miserable consequences," the spiritual beast king said. He finally decided to work with the Heaven
Pce.
"Good! I''m sure this is going to be an excellent deal," the spiritual king responded as a smile spread
across his face.
After all that, the spiritual king of the Heaven Pce bade, saying, "Four point five million gold coins!"
"What? The Heaven Pce just called out a bid of four point five million? Oh my God. They are going
to spend everything they have!" All the warriors were stunned by this new bid.
"They are probably cooperating with some other force!" some people guessed in a low voice.
''It seems that they have begun to team up! That''s perfect! That''s exactly what I want!'' Vito thought to
himself secretly. ''Those three guys who called out four million gold coins helped me a lot! Whether they
really have so much money or not, they have helped to raise the price anyway.''
"Four point six million!" someone from another private room eximed at that time. Apparently, he had
aligned with another force too.
"Well, don''t you think it''s kind of boring to increase the price by only a hundred thousand? If I guess
right, the highest price you can pay is six million gold coins even though you are cooperating with each
other. Am I right?" Ricky stated loudly at that point in time.
"Well, I have another bid—seven million gold coins! That''s my new offer!"
