42 It is Totally A Counter! (2/2)

The childe knew that Rong Chu wanted this herb very much and kept bidding without even blinking an eye. As they kept bidding, the price of the herb had gone up to 800,000. ”What an insane price!” Gu Xijiu thought to herself.

Though the guests present were rich and knowledgeable men, it was their first time witnessing such an intense bidding competition. Therefore, the hall was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping would have been heard.

”800,001.” The childe was fanning himself with a folded fan while he looked at Rong Chu on the second floor with a smile on his face, as if he was taunting him to bid again.

Unexpectedly, Rong Chu smirked as he glanced back at him. He then sat down and said indifferently, ”Since you care so much for this herb then I’ll not compete with you anymore. The illusion weed is yours!”

The childe was quiet, ”…”

The others too, ”…”

Many of them had a good relationship with Rong Chu, and some even knew that he purposely came today just to get his hands on the illusion weed. They had not expected that he would have given up that easily!

As the others had been observing him for quite some time, they felt that the childe was only intentionally bothering Rong Chu and had not intended to win the bid for the illusion weed. The childe should be facing trouble now since Rong Chu had suddenly withdrawn himself from the auction bid.

800,000 ounces of silver was the total income an upper class would have earned throughout his life!

The childe was stunned for a moment before he blinked his eyes and looked towards Rong Chu on second floor, ”Fourth prince, are you sure that you do not want to bid anymore? This herb is very special and is most certainly worth its current price. I’m sure that you’ll regret it if you don't. Why don't you raise the bid a little, even if it’s just an ounce of silver, and I’ll stop bidding against you…”

Rong Chu was excited by what he just said. After all, he had caused him to pay hundreds of thousands of ounces of silver and finally Rong Chu could make him pay too!

”A true gentleman never snatches away what is loved by others. Since you like it so much, I will not fight with you over the illusion weed anymore.” Rong Chu made an elegant remark.

”Are you serious?” the childe questioned again.
