Auction (3)
Hearing such provocation, Shen Lin's eyes burned with hate as he raise again his bid, "This young master isn't short in gold, I offer 30,000 gold coins!"
For a profound rank cultivation manual, this is definitely overpriced. A normal Profound cultivation manual price only ranger from 8,000-10,000 gold coins. Although this Myriad Flower Sword Manual is a special cultivation technique. Its price should be mostly at the range of 15,000 gold coins below.
Below the platform, the audience who were at first was competing for the manual had their heads down. They could only swallow their saliva in regret as they knew that they couldn't get this manual. In terms of money, the people in the VIP room definitely didn't lack of this.
Shen Yu's bid against Shen Lin continues as the price for the manual gets higher and higher. If someone were to be happy right now, it is Mei Jiao who had a beaming smile in her face. Every time she heard the bid increased, she would feel a current flow into her body. Her breathing becomes a little disorderly as she rubs her thighs against each other.
"Young master Shen, you should stop this already. Remember we aren't here for this item. Just let the other get it for now, I will send someone to investigate who the other party is" an elder from the Shen family sitting beside Shen Lin said. He knew that if this continues, they might take a loss. The gold coins they brought this time is limited, so they need to save it for the last item.
"Huh" Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Shen Lin agreed to the elder. Before they were sent out by the Shen family to attend this auction. His 'father' the patriarch specially told him that he must get the last item. Shen Lin then said, "I apologize for my actions Elder Yin, I will listen to you and wait for the report of our men to know who the other party is. But before that, lets bid one last time"
"Ha ha ha! This young master offer 55,000 gold coins! If you have the money, why don't you offer a higher price!" Shen Lin shouted arrogantly. What he wanted to do was to increase the amount of bid higher and then let the other party loses some money. Not only would he make the other party buy something in a very high price. He could also lessen the money of the other party lowering their chance in competing for the last item.
When Shen Yu who was sitting comfortably inside his VIP room heard Shen Lin's loud voice. He already knew what this man is planning to do. Smiling confidently he sneer loudly, "Aiyaa! It seems that I will have to take the loss this time. The young master is really awesome to have so much money. This one admits his defeat"
When the audience below heard the voice that came from Shen Yu. They all knew that this man who just spoke purposely provoked the other one just to raise the price of the item, which he succeeded in doing.
Bam!
Inside the VIP room, Shen Lin smashed a table in anger. He felt that there is a lump in his throat that he was forced to swallow. He just now realized the intention of the other party. He felt extremely humiliated and embarrassed knowing this. He just got played easily, and now he had to buy the manual for an extremely high price.
"Quickly! Investigate the background of that man who dared to scam me! I will make him pay the price for shaming me here!" Shen Lin roared angrily. His face was red in anger as he constantly grit his teeth and tighten his fist.
"How can he not realize earlier what the other party is doing. It is quite obvious that they were just intentionally raising the price" in another VIP room, the second princess Huang Feng with a disappointed tone in her voice.
"Second princess, maybe the one who provoked young master Shen is from the Crystal Pavilion. Because they are the only one who would benefit for this" a handsome man wearing an armor said. He was the leader of the Imperial Guards who was sent to protect and escort the second princess.
"Yes, there is a chance but" the second princess thought for a moment and continues, "They would risk in offending the Shen family and that is not a good thing"
"But princess I heard that this Crystal Pavilion had a very mysterious background. Their full strength is unknown to everyone even in the capital" the leader replied. There are many record in the library of the Imperial Family. But there are no records about this Crystal Pavilion even though they already send a group of people to investigate it.
Huang Feng didn't replied and glance at the VIP room where Shen Yu is.
"55,000 gold coins, once!" In the platform, Mei Jiao was very happy when she shouted the price. This is her first time being an auctioneer. She didn't even thought that she would get a huge commission just from the first item. With several items left, she knew that she will get more.
While Mei Jiao was feeling she was in heaven. In the VIP room, Shen Lin was burning in anger as if he was in hell. When he heard the auctioneer shout, he felt a piercing pain in his chest. His dark expression and vicious looks in his eyes, everyone knew that he will take revenge for this.
"55,000 gold coins, twice!"
"55,000 gold coins, trice. Sold!"
"Our first item Myriad Flower Sword manual has been successfully won by our guest over there! Please follow the instructions of our attendant in paying for the item!" now that the first item is sold in a high price. Mei Jiao was looking forward for the next item. If she could also sell this for a high price, she will definitely be rich.
