Chapter 168 An Intense Auction
"Three million six hundred thousand dors!"
"Three million six hundred and fifty thousand dors!"
"Four million dors!"
"..."
After several rounds of bidding, the man in the No. 21 seat raised the bid to four million dors.
The other guests who had consideredpeting shook their heads and no longer ced bids.
The man in the twenty-first seat grinned and put his arm around the waist of the beautiful woman
beside him.
"Four million dors once!"
"Four million dors twice!"
"Four million dors three times, sold! Congrattions to our distinguished guest in seat number
twenty-one for winning the Victoria blue and white dragon pattern galldder vase for four million
dors!"
As the female hostess struck the gavel, the first item was sessfully auctioned.
The winning bidder for the Victoria blue and white dragon pattern galldder vase was guest No.
21, a CEO of a listedpany named Ben Stark, and an ardent collector of antiques.
Now the item found its master!
Next, a female crew member rolled out the second item, the white gown worn by Marilyn Monroe!
The female host began introducing the item: "This white gown used to be worn by Marilyn Monroe,
and it''s the one she wore in that world-famous ''subway grate'' photograph. It''s highly collectible, with
a starting bid of one million dors. Interested parties, please raise your paddles to bid!"
Clearly, there weren''t many takers for this item.
For a long time, no one raised their paddles.
Just then, a guest in seat No. 27, who sported a goatee, raised his paddle and said, "One million
two hundred thousand dors!"
After that, no one else bid.
After three inquiries by the female host, the gavel was struck!
And so, the second item was sessfully auctioned, with the winning bidder being guest No. 27,
the stock market guru, Ss Everest!
The auction continued!
A female crew member rolled out the third item, a scroll made of sheepskin, containing the secret
martial art techniques of "Death''s Forbidden Hand" from the T Country!
The female host introduced it, saying, "Next up is a treat for martial arts enthusiasts. This sheepskin
scroll contains the secret martial art techniques of ''Death''s Hand'' from the mysterious T Country. It''s
rumored that mastering the ten forbidden techniques in this scroll will make you the top martial artist
in T Country. Starting at eight hundred thousand dors, martial arts enthusiasts, please raise your
paddles to bid!"
Although the starting price was low, people immediately raised their bid.
"One million dors!"
The first bidder was a guest in seat sixteen, a heavily bearded man who bore a striking
resemnce to Harden!
"One million one hundred thousand dors!"
The second bidder was a guest in seat No. 26, an elderly man in traditional robes!
After that, the two of them went back and forth, raising the price to two million eight hundred
thousand dors!
In the midst of it, Alonzo shouted just for the fun of it!
But it was purely for show, and he didn''t bid further!
"Three million five hundred thousand dors!"
The heavily bearded man made another move, adding seven hundred thousand dors, and the
price soared to three million five hundred thousand dors!
The elderly man in seat No. 26 was furious, but he found it difficult to bid again.
The price had exceeded his expectations, and who knew if the martial arts techniques on the
sheepskin scroll would be suitable for someone from Dragon Kingdom?
Seeing the elderly man hesitate, the female host added fuel to the fire with a flirtatious tone, saying,
"Distinguished guest No. 26, are you going to raise your bid? You look like a martial arts expert. If
you don''t bid now, you might miss out on this ancient martial arts secret!"
Provoked by the female host, the elderly man in traditional robes raised his paddle and shouted,
"Three million five hundred and fifty thousand dors!"
That was his limit, and after shouting, he stared at the heavily bearded man, hoping that he wouldn''t
raise the bid any further.
But the bearded man grinned and said, "Three million six hundred thousand dors!"

"Damn it!"
Seeing this, the elderly man couldn''t take it anymore and give up bidding.
After three confirmations by the female host, the gavel finally fell.
Eventually, after intense bidding, the third item, "Death''s Hand," found its owner, No. 16, Mr.
Dominick Parker!
The auction continued!
When the female crew member rolled out the fourth item, thedies in the audience went wild.
It was a beautiful gem, sparkling and dazzling!
"Wow! This item is a favorite among women. Now, gentlemen, it''s time to show how generous you
are and how much you love the women by your side! A multi-colored gem named Blue Ocean,
starting at four million dors!"
Just as the female host introduced the item, the guests started bidding frantically!
A man never skimps on money before his woman, not least in a publicpetition.
In no time, the price directly doubled and broke through eight million dors!
After a few more rounds of bidding, it suddenly surpassed ten million!
This gem became the hottest item in the first four rounds of the auction!
"Eleven million dors!"
With his arm around the waist of a beautiful woman, guest No, 21, Ben, looked full of confidence.
Beside him, the charming beauty Jessie leaned against his well-padded chest. At this moment, the
man in front of her was the most handsome and charismatic man in the world.
"Honey, you''re so amazing! Tonight, I''ll be totally at your mercy!"
Jessie coquettishly said, and Ben, feeling triumphant, whispered in her ear, "Two golf balls for you
tonight!"
"Come on, you''re so naughty!"
Jessie yfully punched Ben''s chest, her strength gentle.
At this price point, it was almost the limit.
As expected, no one else was willing topete with Ben.
When the female hostess struck the gavel, Jessie became the proudest woman in the room, casting
a disdainful nce at the other women present.
"What''s the difference between that thing and a ss bottle?" A young man behind Dominick, the
heavily bearded man, asked in confusion.
Dominick sighed, "Cest vie, some people have too much money and some women are extremely
vain."
The young man nodded in agreement.
The auction continued, with one item left for the night!
When the female crew member pushed the item onstage, the normally quiet guest No. 2 became
lively!
Alonzo, who had been reclining, sat up straight, smiling as he nced at Kelly Fisher, who was full
of anticipation. "Rest assured, I''ll definitely get you this knife. I don''t believe anyone here has more
money than me!"
It was an arrogant statement, but it was also the truth!
The financial power of the Garza family was unthinkable; to them, money was never an issue.
Kelly Fisher nodded eagerly, looking at Ogre yer on the stage with almost dripping anticipation.
He was already looking forward to wielding Ogre yer and unleashing its devastating two-sword
style!
"Thest item tonight is a famous sword from Jadia, with an extremely ancient history. It''s rumored
to be the ''Demon yer'' sword, incredibly sharp, capable of cutting steel, and we also have several
distinguished guests from Jadia tonight. We hope you can bid generously. Starting at three million
dors!" The beautiful hostess introduced.
As soon as she finished introducing, Alonzo raised his paddle and arrogantly shouted, "Five million
dors!"
In an instant, he drove the price up by a significant margin!
"Five million and fifty thousand dors!"
A bald-headed old man from the eighth guest seat raised his paddle.
He shouted in English, which sounded strange and awkward.
"Six million dors!"
Alonzo raised his paddle again and gave a snort.
The old man in the white robe couldn''t help but furrow his brow, hesitating. He looked back at a
veiled woman sitting beside him.
Seeing the woman nod, the old man in the white robe raised his paddle again and said, "Six million
and fifty thousand dors!"
The increment was very small, indicating that this was their limit.
"Oh, dare to challenge me!" Alonzo raised his paddle once more. "Seven million dors!"
With this bid, the veiled woman also frowned.
The old man in the white robe spoke to the veiled woman in Jadian, "My Divine Maiden, this price is
already beyond our limit!"
