"It seems that guy is really determined to get 'Greed Island'. When he asked about the ga before, I knew he had sothing else in mind!" Milluki subconsciously affird to himself.
He was very familiar with Killua's behavior of only seeking him out when there was sothing to gain.
Only when he was needed would he reluctantly enter Killua's line of sight, and even then, he was not considered a priority. He had rely gone from being a "fat pig" to a "chubby guy."
"Uh, look at the person raising the bid. It seems like they know Killua... No, they are the sa group that ca to our house and took Killua away before."
"So, they must be quite familiar with each other."
"Judging by the bid, they must have a lot of Jenny. Maybe they really can win the auction."
"297... In that case, if Killua's friends get this ga, could I join in too..."
Milluki was montarily tempted. But soon, recalling Killua's smug smile, he quickly shook his head.
"Better not. If I go up and make such a request, that bastard Killua will definitely seize the opportunity to mock and ridicule . I don't want to be humiliated and laughed at by him."
Milluki's eyes twitched: "That guy would definitely do it, definitely!"
"Damn it! Why do they have so much money?! And the highest price for 'Greed Island' before wasn't even a hundred billion."
"This ti, to be safe, I specially prepared a budget of over two hundred billion Jenny, and yet... I shouldn't have eaten so much gourt food before!"
"But now the auction price has exceeded three hundred billion Jenny. It seems even if I didn't eat anything, I still wouldn't win..."
"Whatever, shout out to those filthy rich big shots!"
Milluki grumbled and fud in secret.
anwhile, Phinks, sitting next to Gon, was sowhat surprised as he glanced at Gon:
"Hey, kid, that's over three hundred billion Jenny. Do you really have that much money?"
He surprisingly offered a rare bit of advice: "You know, if you can't pay the bid, you'll be in big trouble."
Though Phinks himself wasn't afraid of such troubles, and if he wanted, he could easily bid recklessly and then rob the item without paying a di. But~~~
It was clearly more convenient to snatch the ga from the wealthy buyer than to deal with the auction house and its network of industries.
"Don't worry!!"
Gon responded with full confidence to Phinks' reminder, "I don't have much money, but I can still manage to buy this ga."
Saying this, he turned to Phinks:
"When I buy the ga, let's play together!!"
He once again extended an invitation to Phinks.
"You kid..."
Phinks' mouth curled into a slight smile.
If it weren't for being not too familiar and having a basic sense of caution, Phinks might have already started ruffling Gon's hair.
"Over three hundred billion and you call that not much money?"
Feitan, sitting beside Phinks, raised his head again, squinting his eyes to scrutinize Gon. His fingers hidden in his clothes began to twitch unconsciously.
So much money... His thief instincts and occupational habits were acting up again.
"If I could steal it, that wouldn't be bad either."
Compared to Phinks' straightforward and carefree thoughts, Feitan leaned more towards directly taking action if Gon did win 'Greed Island' and snatching it from him. However...
Feitan glanced at Phinks' quite satisfied smile and slightly raised his eyelids.
"Forget it, let's see what happens then..."
Aside from their conversation, the audience was also shocked by Gon's latest bid.
This was just a mysterious ga with unknown gaplay and great danger, and yet soone bid over three hundred billion for it?!
It was known that the previous bid of over two hundred billion was made by the wealthy collector Battera.
But since he was personally keen on collecting this ga, the other elite mbers didn't mind.
But now~--
An unknown, not yet adult kid put forth such a huge sum to buy a ga?!
That's over three hundred billion Jenny! Even for them, it's not a small fortune!!
For a mont, everyone looked at Gon with either curiosity or strange gazes.
They all speculated which family this brat belonged to, sneaking out with the family ledger to buy a ga.
Letting a kid like Gon shell out over three hundred billion is downright laughable.
They were curious to know who this child's parents were!
If it were among the wealthy elite they knew, that would be quite the spectacle.
This group of upper-class elites snorted inwardly.
They couldn't believe that over three hundred billion could be casually forked out by a re kid.
Otherwise, if even a child could earn that much money, wouldn't that an their own success only in middle age was a wasted life?
"Hmph!"
Hearing Gon's bid, a shadow crossed Battera's brow.
He raised his hand again.
"Bidder 16 offers 310 billion Jenny!!"
---
The auctioneer's voice rang out imdiately.
Then, in the next second, Gon changed his hand gesture:
"Bidder 201 offers 320 billion Jenny!!"
The auctioneer's voice nearly echoed to the skies. At the sa ti, the other wealthy bidders quickly realized that this young fellow intended to challenge Battera head-on!!
"Let's see who has more assets!!"
Amusent flashed in many eyes as they shifted to a spectator mode.
"Bidder T6 offers 330 billion Jenny!!"
"Bidder 201 offers 340 billion Jenny!!"
"350 billion!!"
"360 billion!!!"
The auctioneer was almost hoarse from shouting, her voice unusually raspy. She truly hadn't expected that the bidding for just a ga would reach such intense levels!!
Previously, many rare auction items had sold for less than half of the current bid for this ga!!
And each product's final price determined her commission. The auctioneer was undoubtedly the most eager person in the room, hoping the ga's price would climb higher and higher...
"Keep going!! Continue, continue!!!"
Internally thrilled, she maintained a calm exterior. This level of composure was indeed top-notch; otherwise, the auction organizers wouldn't have chosen her to host the event.
Did people really think that just being pretty with a sweet voice, capable of shouting "sold," was enough to host?
Perhaps elsewhere, but not in a venue filled with elite wealthy nobles. The organizers weren't that naive.
"Is there anyone else who wants to bid?!"
She asked, though her eyes were on Battera, a flicker of anticipation in her gaze. She hoped Battera would continue and raise the price even higher.
But?
"Huff."
Battera exhaled two streams of white air from his nostrils, then silently closed his eyes.
"Is he choosing to give up?!
Others were both surprised and understanding as they glanced at Battera. It was well-known that Battera was determined to obtain this ga.
However, there were seven copies of the ga up for auction. This was just one, and it had already soared to over three hundred billion.
Even if Battera won, it would be a significant blow, leaving him less competitive for the remaining six gas.
Not only would he fail to et his goal, but it might also shake the foundations of his financial empire.
So, to avoid minor losses leading to major ones, Battera's decision to forgo this round of bidding was reasonable.
After all, the other party's goal was clear: just to buy the ga to play.
Purchasing this one was enough; there was no need to compete with Battera for the others.
With these reasons, Battera abandoned the idea of further bidding.
Many could understand Battera's actions, but they still marveled at the outco.
That was the world-renowned billionaire Battera!!
Yet, during the auction, he lost to an unknown kid who seed to pop out of nowhere!
Life truly is dramatic.
The group of elite wealthy individuals silently pondered, feeling they had found a new topic for conversation over tea and als.
Moreover, they would rember this event well.
"Is there no gentleman willing to bid higher?!"
Seeing Battera close his eyes and give up, the auctioneer's eyes showed a hint of disappointnt.
After asking twice with no response, she decisively struck the auction gavel.
Though slightly regretful, a final price of 360 billion Jenny was already satisfying.
This single auction was enough for her to earn a significant profit.
"Let's congratulate bidder 201 for successfully purchasing the 'Greed Island' ga at 360 billion Jenny!!"
The auctioneer's smile grew even more radiant with her good mood.
"Great!!!"
Hearing the final result, Gon jumped up with joy.
"I got 'Greed Island', Killua!!"
Gon happily hooked an arm around Killua's neck.
"I know, let go, let go, so many people are watching!"
Killua, a bit bashful and embarrassed, tried to refuse.
However, a smile also curled at his lips, sharing in Gon's happiness and feeling glad for him.
Thus, from obtaining the mory card to now, the two had finally successfully acquired the 'Greed Island' ga!!
"Can you believe they actually managed to outbid Battera for 'Greed Island'!!"
Leorio marveled.
