However, what happened next gradually made them realize that earlier was not an ’accident’ at all!
As ti passed, the auction items beca increasingly rare and unusual.
So were precious chemical materials, high-tech aerospace instrunts... Master Cadmus and Shawn Norton gradually joined the bidding as well.
But a strange phenonon occurred!
Whenever they had interest in bidding, Guest No. 001 would certainly interfere, even forcefully, just to prevent them from winning a single item.
This blatant targeting attracted quite a few people’s attention.
"What’s going on?"
"Who is No. 001?"
"Don’t you know, the Chamber of Comrce Alliance President Torre is here today, and No. 001 is him. It seems this group has offended him, and this is considered a show of force against them."
"Tsk, no wonder, I knew it couldn’t be a coincidence."
...
Nathalie Quinlan had not seen anything she liked, so she hadn’t participated in any of the bidding. Later, when she noticed sothing was wrong, her gaze gradually beca serious.
She listened to the whispers around her.
She then looked at Master Cadmus and Shawn Norton’s embarrassed faces.
She smirked!
Her smile was quite wicked.
She kicked away the chair beside her.
Master Cadmus and Shawn Norton were still annoyed by the Chamber of Comrce Alliance’s deliberate humiliation and were startled when they heard Nathalie’s commotion.
"Nathalie?"
Nathalie’s gaze passed over the few people and looked towards Shawn Norton: "What does he want to bid on?"
"Uh..." Shawn Norton couldn’t react for a mont, trying to pull her back: "Forget it, this is Inderia, if he wants to bid then..."
Nathalie lifted her eyebrow, her gaze cold and restless, cutting him off: "What’s wrong with Inderia?"
She would return anything from Inderia!
"He wouldn’t co all the way just to give us trouble, he must have a reason to co here."
These days, she had heard Shawn Norton talk about many things concerning Inderia and could almost confirm that today’s banquet couldn’t invite any Chamber of Comrce Alliance President-level people.
The other party wouldn’t know they were coming, it couldn’t be specifically targeting them.
They were just incidental.
The other party must have co for a special reason!
Shawn Norton naturally thought of this too and rubbed his temples, uncertainly saying: "It’s rumored that today the finale auction is about a very precious Rare Earth from No. 1 Middle School. This is the aerospace material that’s rare even in Inderia! He probably ca for this auction item."
Rare Earth, huh.
Nathalie’s eyes gradually deepened, her lips slightly pursed, with an expression of arrogance and wantonness: "Alright, I’ll wait for him!"
...
The Auction itself was nearing its end.
Half an hour later, the finale auction item was brought onto the auction platform.
The middle-aged man, who had been chatting and laughing with the people around him, stopped talking, his expression serious, his sharp eyes gradually becoming determined.
The auctioneer smiled mildly after the robot delivered the final auction item and boldly announced: "I believe all guests know what today’s last auction item is, so I won’t keep everyone in suspense with too much introduction. The starting price for today’s last item is 800,000, everyone can start bidding..."
Rare Earth was extrely appealing to the guests below the stage.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Soone imdiately raised their bidding sign: "Guest No. 016, 1 million."
It instantly increased by 200,000.
But this price wasn’t enough to intimidate anyone.
Her hand hadn’t lowered the sign yet, and soone imdiately raised the bid: "Guest No. 012, 1.3 million."
