437 Bizarre Deity Statue (2/2)

The deity statue of the Patriarch was worshipped day and night. Then, after many long years, it was no longer a normal statue.

However, Mo Wen didn't know exactly what had changed. After all, his status in the Divine Pill Sect was pretty low, so the things that he knew were limited.

”A deity statue? It does not seem like a deity, but more like a demon!” Shen Jing looked at the bronze statue. Its appearance was extremely bizarre.

”Then, in your opinion, what should a deity look like?” Mo Wen asked with a smile, while holding Shen Jing's hand.

Shen Jing this pondered for a while, then realized that she couldn't answer this question, as she had never seen a deity before! Hence, she couldn't possibly know what a deity looked like!

”If you really do not have a point of reference, you can use me as your reference,” Mo Wen said, laughing wryly.

”You are so smug! Only crazy people would play along with you and boost your ego!” Shen Jing rolled her eyes at Mo Wen.

At the moment, the bidding for the strange bronze statue had begun. The competition was not intense, but rather mild. The bidding only increased by ten thousand dollar increments most of the time.

After all, the starting price of two million was already quite high, and not many people were willing to take a risk on something that they didn't understand. Only a small fraction of people loved to collect peculiar things. However, even these people had a limit to how much they were willing to pay.

”Three million!” Mo Wen shouted.

His action was surprising, as he rarely participated in auctions. Plus, he did not know much about the bronze statue!

But, his instincts told him that this thing was not simple and may have some unexpected value. Besides, even if it did not have any value, that would also be fine with him, as it was just money.

As Yang Ting saw Mo Wen bidding, she thought of interfering with him. But, she changed her mind and gave up again.

This was because she already realized that, in regards to their financial wealths, she was most likely inferior to Mo Wen. Thus, if she were to try to outbid him, she would most likely fail.

Also, she was unsure of Mo Wen's attitude towards the item, so she did not dare to bid recklessly. In the event that Mo Wen suddenly did not want it, then she would be stuck with it and left in despair!

As someone in the inner business circle, she needed to be rational at all times, especially in managing her finances. When she could afford something, she would take the risk, but when she couldn't afford something, she wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

As the bidding for the bronze statue increased, the amount of people bidding for it decreased. In the end, only two people were left vying for it. When Mo Wen increased his bid to 40 million, the other person gave up competing entirely.

”Weren't you interested in the bronze statue? Why did you give up?” At a corner of the great hall, two youths sitting beside one another.

Both of their temperaments were cold. In fact, they were so cold, nobody else was willing to go near them!

”The bronze statue is abnormal. I am sure that you sensed it too,” one of the youths said plainly, while glancing at his companion.

”But, I am not interested in it,” the other youth said, while shaking his head.

”So, I gave up. As you probably know, the background of this kind of item is most likely impressive. But, it doesn't necessarily have any practical function. Plus, it might even bring us unexpected troubles,” the first youth said coldly.

”Then, aren't you worried it is really extraordinary? Won't it be regrettable if you miss out on a true treasure?” the other youth, who was named Henry, asked.

”Henry, I think that, rather than fighting for an unknown item that might potentially bring us harm, it would be far more meaningful to kill you, drink your blood, and steal your treasures!” A glint of killing intent flashed in the eyes of the first youth, whose name was Royce.

”Royce, you are disgusting and crazy! In fact, everyone in your entire Bruch Family is a psychopath.” Henry cast a disgusted glance at Royce, then purposely moved his body away from him.

”Henry, if you provoke me again, there will be dire consequences. Please do not forget our true purpose for this trip. Aside from that, everything else is insignificant. I do not wish to provoke that terrifying youth. If you deliberately create problems and stir up trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless,” Royce said coldly. He was very clear on what sort of schemes his companion had.

The language that they spoke could not be understood by the people around them. Not only was it not English, it wasn't even a language that any race on earth could translate!

”Royce, I always thought that you were an idiot. Who would have thought that you would have such good eyes?” Henry was laughing loudly now.
