Capítulo 1541: Chapter 1541: Asset Verification (First Update)
“Wenjing, take a look beneath your own seat.”
Ye Haochuan smiled, then pressed the button beside him, saying, “Twenty-three million! This Five Thunder Treasure Record, I must have it today.”
“Twenty-three million! Box number eleven offers twenty-three million. This price has surpassed our highest price today, setting a new record for the day.”
The auctioneer excitedly shouted, as the previous highest bid was only twenty-two million four hundred thousand, not to ntion, the guests in box number eleven added three million all at once.
“Ah! Is this your gift to , a sheer garnt?”
Zhu Wenjing blushed as she looked at Ye Haochuan, secretly wondering if Ye Haochuan was hinting for her to wear less?
“Hmph! I wonder how many Spirit Crystals you have left, I’ll bid twenty-five million!”
At this mont, in box number three, Li Daoyong’s face turned ashen. He had a total of just over twenty-nine million, most of which belonged to Ye Xiao.
Li Daoyong was a trusted subordinate of Ye Xiao, which was why he was familiar with Ye Haochuan.
Although Li Daoyong had not witnessed the conflict between Ye Xiao and Ye Haochuan, he had heard rumors and seen photos of Ye Haochuan, knowing he couldn’t defeat him, which was why he had endured humiliation and retreated earlier.
However, although he couldn’t defeat Ye Haochuan, he believed himself to be far richer, hence trying to embarrass Ye Haochuan with the Five Thunder Treasure Record.
Who knew Ye Haochuan’s financial resources would far exceed his expectations? Ye Xiao had given him this twenty-nine million to purchase a headline item.
If Ye Xiao knew he used the funds to buy this useless Five Thunder Treasure Record, who knows how he would deal with him.
Ye Xiao had also used his contacts to research the Five Thunder Treasure Record but concluded that even top experts like Yang Sen and Ye Hao couldn’t open it.
Moreover, a Treasure-Level Mid-Stage Cultivation Technique was utterly useless to Ye Hao and Yang Sen, making it unnecessary to exert effort for it.
Of course, Li Daoyong had thought of an excuse. First, Ye Haochuan was Ye Xiao’s enemy, and since Li Daoyong was helping Ye Xiao target an enemy, Ye Xiao wouldn’t bla him.
Second, having overheard Ye Haochuan muttering, Li Daoyong thought Ye Haochuan knew how to open it. If he relayed this information to Ye Xiao, not only would he not be at fault, but he would also be credited.
And this was precisely why he dared to act, but even so, he still worried; he feared punishnt from Ye Xiao if he failed to secure the item Ye Xiao wanted.
All of this was rely a fleeting thought in Li Daoyong’s mind.
“Box number three, twenty-five million Spirit Crystals. Will the guest in box number eleven raise their bid further?”
At this mont, the auctioneer was already shouting excitedly, stimulated by the offer of over twenty million Spirit Crystals, to the point of forgetting the goodwill Ye Haochuan had shown him.
“Thirty million! The guest in box number three, I don’t know how I may have offended you to make you oppose , but if you want to play, I can play along.”
Ye Haochuan’s deep voice echoed throughout the venue, while inside the box, Ke Yan, under Ye Haochuan’s signal, approached the blushing Zhu Wenjing to explain the situation of the sheer garnt.
“Wow! Thirty million superior Spirit Crystals, once again, the guest in box number eleven has set today’s highest auction price. I wonder if the guest in box number three will bid further?”
The auctioneer eagerly looked toward box number three, hoping they would raise the bid, allowing him to earn one percent of the auction price.
The one percent of thirty million was enough to make him a millionaire and possibly more, igniting his excitent.
“I request an asset verification. I suspect the guest in box number eleven doesn’t have that much money and is purposefully making false bids, disrupting the proceedings.”
Li Daoyong suddenly rembered overhearing from Ye Xiao that Ye Haochuan was only the leader of a minor power outside, with no remarkable background.
He didn’t know where Ye Haochuan found the audacity to bid thirty million, but after so thought, he concluded based on available information that Ye Haochuan couldn’t possibly have that many Spirit Crystals.
So, he pressed the button with a sinister smile, anticipating Ye Haochuan’s embarrassnt. If the verification found Ye Haochuan indeed made false bids, he could secure the Five Thunder Treasure Record for eighteen million.
Wow~
“Could it be that the guest in box number eleven is making false bids?”
“Not necessarily. Didn’t you see the people in box number three have a grudge against those in box number eleven? Maybe the people in box number three are intentionally vexing those in box number eleven?”
“Or maybe the people in box number eleven genuinely can’t afford it.”
“…”
For a mont, because of Li Daoyong’s statent and the stimulation from the thirty million sum, everyone went crazy, including the auctioneer on stage.
The one percent of thirty million versus one percent of eighteen million was a significant difference, and the auctioneer remaining calm would be surprising.
“Damn it, this bastard is playing this trick on !”
Ye Haochuan was angered. If he hadn’t arranged things with Old Huang beforehand, he might have been finished by now, as causing a disruption in the Thousand Treasures Pavilion wasn’t sothing he could bear.
“We agree to your request!”
Not long after, an elder approached the auctioneer, followed by two Nascent Soul Experts, one of whom had been inputting spiritual energy into the Five Thunder earlier.
The other had previously hidden in the shadows, retreating into darkness upon a cue from the auctioneer, and was also a Nascent Soul Expert.
“Vice Pavilion Master Lin!”
The auctioneer was shocked upon seeing the elder, imdiately bowing respectfully.
“Greetings, Vice Pavilion Master Lin… Greetings, Vice Pavilion Master Lin…”
Simultaneously, so experts from other boxes who recognized the elder opened their box glass doors, expressing their respect to the Pavilion Elder from the door.
These individuals were all scions of major families, each with a Core Formation Stage cultivation, with so even at the Core Formation Late Stage or Peak.
Vice Pavilion Master Lin? Who is this guy?
Seeing the Pavilion Elder, Ye Haochuan felt a wave of unease, wondering if it wasn’t Old Huang conducting the asset verification?
“Ah! Is this sheer garnt really that amazing?”
At this ti, Zhu Wenjing had just finished listening to Ke Yan’s description of the sheer garnt, feeling elated, she eagerly asked Ye Haochuan, “Ye Haochuan, you’re really giving this garnt?”
“Mm.”
Ye Haochuan nodded reflexively upon hearing this; his current concern was what to do if it wasn’t Old Huang conducting the asset verification.
He didn’t want the whole world to know that he was the provider of today’s mysterious liquid at the auction.
“Oh yay! Ye Haochuan, I love you to death!”
Zhu Wenjing put on the sheer garnt, gently inputting spiritual energy, and was instantly captivated by the marvelous five-color mist, casting aside all previous displeasures to the corners of the earth.
