Chapter 222: People are stupid and have a lot of money, who will you take (ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month)
Million.
At this moment, there was silence in the auction hall, although none of the people present were ordinary people, and they had not seen millions of auctions. But it's all good value for money, such as rare items such as the statue of the Holy Maiden that circulated in ancient times, or a princess in distress, and the price is not too outrageous. In fact, the auction house will try to control the price within a range as much as possible, so as to avoid the original tens of thousands of gold coins from being sold for millions, but now, the development of events is obviously beyond everyone's expectations. Anyone with a little bit of brains can see that at this point, it is no longer as simple as gambling -- but a war.
A war to stake their respective reputations, where money is just a number and means nothing else. But it can represent the determination of both sides. It's like two gamblers scrambling to pile chips on the table, and then it's up to them to see who can take the chips and bury whom.
Many of the people here are regulars at the Fountain of Radiance, so they have guessed that the owner of the box on the top floor should be Alexander. After all, he is also "famous" in the city. It's just that the owner of the box on the fourth floor is a little confusing, most people know that the box has been empty for several years, and now it seems that either its original owner has returned, or a new owner has been ushered in.
But anyway, there's a good show to watch now.
In the face of Jenn's counteroffer, Alexander was visibly stunned. Although he is a second ancestor, his power actually belongs to the Soros family, and he controls the army rather than finances. So even if Alexander wanted to "embezzle", he couldn't get a few dollars. But as a hot-tempered and fierce man, he certainly won't back down. So in the face of Jenn's offer. Alexander was stunned for a moment, then quoted again.
One million and two thousand gold coins.
And almost at the moment of his offer. Jenn didn't hesitate to strike again.
One million and three million gold coins.
Seeing that the other party was at ease, Alexander was also angry at the moment, if the other party hesitated for a moment before following in the face of his offer, it means that he does not have so much money in his hands, and he is also more relaxed. But I didn't expect that bastard to quote directly, without even a trace of hesitation, and made it clear that "Lao Tzu is rich, Lao Tzu is going to use money to kill you, do you follow", which made Alexander more and more angry.
Isn't it richer than anyone!
1,500,000 gold coins!!
Alexander held up the sign. Seeing this scene, there was an uproar below. Even the surrounding boxes began to whisper, and apparently even the other nobles felt that this fighting spirit was really too much. Aristocrats are arrogant, but not stupid, what is the difference between you and those nouveau riche in the eyes of others?
Hearing the exclamations around him, Alexander suddenly became proud, but unfortunately he didn't have time to enjoy it for a moment. Jenn's offer followed.
One million seven million.
Nima !!
Hearing this, Alexander's eyes were completely red, and he no longer cared if the other party was the person he was looking for. He didn't care if he really had so much money in his hands, he only had one thought in his head now. That's to take out this damn bastard! Kill!! Kill!!!
1,800,000 ......... 1,900,000 ......... Million...... 2,300,000 ......... 2,400,000 ......... 2,500,000 ...............
The amount of money was tumbling like a snowball, and the auction hall was already silent at this moment, and everyone was watching the confrontation above with great surprise. This time and again, the price is like a boulder that is getting bigger and bigger. But everyone also saw it. In terms of financial resources, it is obvious that the owner of the mysterious box is superior. Because he acted quite decisively. Almost immediately after Alexander shouted, Alexander followed, but Alexander became more and more hesitant every time he made a bid. It's no wonder that he is not Jenn after all, Jenn is backed by the wealth of several cities behind him, and what is behind him? Even the Soros family is not the family he rules, and he is only the third in line to the throne, and the funds that he can use are very small. In this case, if you insist on going your own way, the final result can be imagined.
The rules of the Fountain of Radiance are very strict, and if you end up bidding for the auction but you don't have the money to pay, not only will the other party not give you the lot, but you will even be fined a large sum of money and deprived of your ability to participate in the Fountain of Radiance auction from now on. Not only that, but you will also become a joke in the aristocratic circle from now on, which is the most intolerable for Alexander, although he is short-tempered, but after all, he has not fainted, if he continues like this, no matter what the other party does, he will definitely not be able to bear it.
But even so, Alexander gritted his teeth and continued filming.
2,950,000 !!
Finally, after another round of confrontation offers, the price was set at a high price of 2.95 million, and at this moment almost everyone held their breath and looked at the box on Alexander's side. Although it is said that less than 3 million lots have been auctioned more than once in the Glorious Fountain, but directly from tens of thousands to several million, this is the first time -- after all, this is too unbelievable.
"Great, ............... adults"
At this moment, even Alexander's attendants couldn't help but open their mouths to try to stop their master, in his opinion, it was shameful enough to get to this point in a simple auction, no matter whether they won or lost, there was nothing good for their side. After all, as long as you are not blind, you can see that the other party really planned to buy something at first, but later he was stimulated by Alexander and directly began to soar prices, and at this point, he no longer cared about his identity, and reminded him. After all, he knows his master very well, and he really doesn't have much money in his hands, and if he continues like this, he may end up with a bloody end.
Do you want to follow?
This is not just a problem for Alexander, but also for others.
"Two million five hundred and fifty thousand once! Two million nine hundred and fifty thousand twice! ”
As he spoke, the auctioneer raised the small hammer in his hand high, and saw that the dust was about to fall, and Alexander finally couldn't care about anything at the moment, and raised his card again.
Million!!!
Everyone was taken aback to see Alexander bid again, and then they immediately instinctively looked at the mysterious box. Only this time, Jenn didn't immediately follow the price as the others thought, but remained silent. This was so unexpected that even the auctioneer was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and raised the hammer at the reminder of his assistant.
"Three million at a time! Three million twice! Three million three times! Congratulations to your honored guest, you have obtained this magical artifact from the mysterious ruins!! ”
It was only at this time that the people who were overwhelmed by the confrontation between the two sides just now made a "boom" noise. To be honest, they didn't expect that the mysterious man would back down at the last minute, what was going on? Could it be that he has been playing tricks all along? But it doesn't look like it, because every time the other party follows after Alexander's offer, if Alexander doesn't follow once, then he has to pay for the money?
If you want to say that he has no money, everyone doesn't believe it, how can someone who can sit here have no money. But it's interesting why not to follow. There are also different opinions on this, and some people think that the other party is unwilling to entangle anymore, after all, although the broken sword seems to be very powerful, it doesn't look like a good sword if it looks so tattered. It would be undignified to spend three million gold coins on such a thing. There are also people who think that the other party may not be too lazy to bother with Alexander, but anyway, this matter is finally over, which means that the next auction can continue according to the normal process. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
And at this moment in the box, Patilina was equally puzzled.
"Master, why don't you keep shouting, I see that bastard can't hold it anymore, as long as you give him a fatal blow, won't that sword be yours?"
"There's no need for that, Patilina."
Hearing the little guy's curious inquiry, the corners of Jenn's mouth curled slightly, and a cold smile appeared.
"It's just a joke, if you're serious you're going to lose, and......... It's better for me that way. ”
With that, Jenn leaned back in his chair, squinting his eyes and hooking his fingers to the side. Soon Alice stepped forward and poured him a cup of warm and sweet black tea. In fact, Jenn wasn't worried about the accident of the Shadow Moon Sword being taken away by Alexander, it was not a fully embodied Shadow Moon Sword, and it had not yet awakened. And the ugly ghost appearance on the outside is actually the form of the shadow element on the main plane before it is activated, in fact, the true form of this long sword is extremely beautiful, and it is also known as the legendary sword of the "veil of the phantom goddess" in the legend. Jenn was sure that if the Fountain of Radiance had obtained an activated and awakened Shadow Moon Sword, it would be difficult to take down three million gold coins.
And now......... He was going to accept the gift without spending a penny.
While Jenn was chatting with Patilina, there had already been two more rounds of auctions outside, and everyone seemed to be very tacitly not mentioning the previous conflict, but trying to continue their trade as if nothing had happened. This may seem funny, but with their "hard work", the atmosphere below soon became lively again. A few small exhibits sparked a scramble from some of the people below, and then sold for a good price—not as exaggerated, of course, as Jenn and Alexander.
It was at this time that the lot that Jenn had brought was finally unveiled.
PS: At the end of the month, the monthly pass war, ask for a ticket~ (to be continued......)
