Xu Hao fixed his gaze on the item.
Was there sothing different about this plate?
The girl insisted on selling it specifically to him, even saying that she wouldn't let herself off the hook if he didn't buy it.
What Xu Hao didn't realize was that when the plate appeared, several pairs of eyes simultaneously turned to look.
Elder Dong looked very curious, examined the plate from all angles, and then shook his head with a smile, "Sorry, I really can't tell what this thing is, but that child shouted out a very high price. I'm just curious, whether the person she ntioned will bid for it or not. And what is the relationship between that person and the mysterious girl? Let's wait and see. Now, let's start the bidding! The starting bid is one hundred million!"
"Wow!"
The entire audience was instantly abuzz!
This was the highest starting bid for any item so far.
Moreover, this was a plate whose na and use were unknown.
However, it was clear that not everyone was just there to watch.
"One hundred million," soone started the bidding.
The crowd looked around but couldn't find who made the bid. Visit Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе (МV-LЕМР-YR) fоr mоrе.
It wasn't just because the venue was too large, but also because it seed the person had concealed their location.
"Two hundred million," another person shouted out a bid.
"Three hundred million," a third person called out.
Everyone understood that surely there were those who recognized the value of the item!
And the terrifying speed with which bids were increased also indicated these people were determined to win!
Xu Hao slightly furrowed his brow. The mysterious girl had brought this item for him to bid on, and he didn't know what she was thinking. If he won the auction, that would put him squarely in the spotlight.
But considering the Ancient Sword from last ti, she seed to be more of a friend than a foe to him.
Xu Hao shook his head lightly, let it be, and decided to make his move.
The people bidding now obviously knew the use of the plate, which also ant it was very likely they were people like him. Such people would invariably beco his adversaries sooner or later.
"Ten billion."
The mont Xu Hao spoke out, he knew whether there was or wasn't anyone else.
Just as the bid of three hundred million had been announced, Xu Hao instantly jacked up the price to ten billion!
This imdiately drew the attention of everyone present.
When the crowd saw it was Xu Hao, surrounded by four top-grade beauties, they were utterly unsettled.
"Damn! Has this guy lost his mind? That's ten billion, not ten yuan!"
"Dammit, this guy's dressed in store-bought gear, but when it cos to throwing down bids, he doesn't hesitate—one might think it's all an act!"
"Although it seems almost impossible, the only explanation right now is that he wants to show off in front of the ladies."
"Hehehe, this is the Didixiya Auction House—if he wins the bid and tries to back out, that's going to be a disaster for him."
"Crap! He's got four unparalleled beauties at his side, serves him right if he gets unlucky!"
People were chattering amongst themselves, but the few who knew Xu Hao understood that he did have the financial strength.
Le Wanqing snorted, "Who does he think he is, the big bad wolf? Buying this item for ten billion, let's see if you'll have any money left to buy anything else! What, 'ten billion spending money a day,' who knows how many years you've been saving up—probably started in your mother's womb!"
Qin Yao handed the bank card to Xu Hao and said in a low voice, "Brother Hao, you can use this for now, I won't be buying anything."
Xu Hao said with a smile, "It's fine, if I've run out of spending money today, I can still overdraw!"
He casually sent a ssage to Wang Zhong, "Deposit fifty billion to my bank card. I'm going to overdraw my spending money for the next five days."
Wang Zhong was confused—since when did the young master's daily pocket money beco just ten billion?
But he didn't ask any further questions and imdiately agreed to transfer the amount as swiftly as possible.
On the auction stage, Elder Dong's hands were shaking.
He had never imagined that such a simple plate could fetch the astronomical sum of ten billion!
But, evidently, the bidding wasn't over yet.
The first person to make a bid called out again, "Eleven billion!"
This ti, many people recognized he was a foreigner because his accent in Huaya language wasn't very standard.
"Twenty billion," Xu Hao said indifferently, thinking that if the girl really needed money, he wouldn't mind helping her out this way.
Xu Hao's bidding style silenced everyone.
It was too rough!
Others were increasing their bids by one million or ten million, but he directly bumped it up by ten billion in one go!
Patriarch of the Sun Family, Sun Decong, exclaid, "Han Ren lost to him in bidding before, and it wasn't unjustified—this level of extravagance, nobody can stand against it!"
Cao An, who had accompanied the Head of the Cao Family, was completely stumped. He suddenly felt like a frog in a well, limited by the narrow scope of his own experience.
"Twenty billion for the first ti, any more bids?
Twenty billion for the second ti, any more bids?
Twenty billion for the third ti, any more bids?"
Those who had been bidding just monts before seed to have yielded.
Elder Dong, seeing the four unique beauties sitting with Xu Hao, burst into a smile and said, "Good! Sold! Congratulations, sir, the plate is yours. I think, that beautiful young lady probably has so other thoughts about you, hehe!"
