Chapter 948 - Sorry, I Failed to Control My Force Well (1/2)
“Four hundred million!”
A sonorous voice reverberated in the auction hall on the first floor.
At once, everyone turned around to look in the direction of the speaker.
It was Sword Fanatic!
Seeing who the bidder was, all the people present were staggered.
“Sword Fanatic is actually this rich?”
“He is indeed a veteran in Jianghu who has made a name for himself for decades. He is even willing to spend so much money without batting his eyelid.”
“With his strength, if he had not been completely engrossed in swordsmanship, he could have easily made several billion yuan. However, considering his temperament, 400 million is the highest bid he can place.”
In the auction house, everyone was talking about the bid.
At this time—
“Four hundred and fifty million!”
Diwu Qian put in her bid.
Sword Fanatic raised his eyebrow and smiled with resignation. Obviously, he had given up.
From the looks of things, he could afford no more than 400 million.
“Five hundred million!”
“Five hundred and ten million.”
“Five hundred and thirty million.”
“Five hundred and fifty million!”
The top forces in Wulin bid one after another.
Compared with the prices offered by these people, the 400 million yuan Sword Fanatic bid was a far cry.
Three minutes later.
“Six hundred million!”
Some called out from the hall on the first floor.
Everyone turned their heads to look.
Surprisingly, the person that made the bid was Lin Rusheng!
Now, all the people present were even more taken aback.
“Holy cow! He is also so rich?”
“Hasn’t Lin Rusheng resigned and lived in seclusion for 10 years? He’s been researching how to break through to the guru level during the past decade. Then, where did he get so much money?”
“Six hundred million yuan is definitely not a small sum.”
In the auction house, everyone’s eyes were focused on Lin Rusheng. They were all very curious about how Lin Rusheng laid hands on so much money.
Yet, before anyone could figure it out, another bidder immediately outbid Lin Rusheng.
“Seven hundred million!”
It was Yun Yangzi’s second bid.
It seemed that the Pear Garden was really well off.
The moment Yun Yangzi made the bid, Lin Rusheng shook his head with a bitter smile and quitted.
At first, Lin Rusheng thought that 700 million should be enough to buy a piece of news. That was why he prepared so much money to participate in the auction.
But after the auction started, he realized that 700 million still wasn’t enough.
Even though he was dying to get the information, in the face of the high price offered by others, Lin Rusheng had no choice but to give up.
“Eight hundred million!”
Qian Xiao made a bid, instantly raising the price by 100 million yuan.
Seeing this, the second-rate forces and some of the major forces that had participated in the bidding before all chose to give up.
The price of eight hundred million yuan already exceeded the largest amount they could offer.
Such money was sufficient for a second-rate force to develop for hundreds of years.
Nevertheless, though these forces chose to give up because they were outbid, they were not upset at all. After all, they had long known that they couldn’t compete against the Four Great Families and the top Wulin forces at all. They only bid to be part of the game.
With the second-rate and first-rate forces withdrawing in succession, the bidding came to the most intense moment.
The Four Great Families placed bids one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the price had been bid up to 980 million yuan.
“Nine hundred and eighty million!”
When the Xi family shouted out this number, all the people present were blown away.
Nine hundred and eighty million!
The price was a short way away from reaching one billion!
No one had expected that the bid for the information about the location of the Ambergris Grass would reach nearly one billion. That was absolutely astonishing!
“The Xi family bids 980 million yuan. Are there any more bid?” the auctioneer shouted, his eyes gleaming brightly.
At this precise moment, Fang Qiu, who had not placed another bid since the start of the bidding, gently tapped on his chair again. He raised his hand and said, “I bid five Guru Swords!”
As soon as his words came out—
The whole auction house was in dead silence.
“What the f*ck!”
“Five Guru Swords?”
“Holy Moly! how many Guru Swords does John Doe have on earth?”
“Are Guru Swords as common as cabbages? How could he sell five at a time?”
“Where did John Doe get so many Guru Swords? Does he really have five?”
A moment later, the crowd burst into an uproar.
Everyone was talking about John Doe. Many people turned heads to stare at Fang Qiu.
“This John Doe is more and more unfathomable!
“Are Guru Swords that valueless to him?”
Not only the people in Wulin but also all the major forces on the scene were also struck dumb.
That was right.
They were struck dumb!
“He offers five Guru Swords. How generous!”
“Are there really so many Guru Swords in the world?”
“John Doe, what kind of force is behind you?”
“Guru Swords are very precious. They are not as cheap as cabbages. But John Doe can offer five at a time. Does he have any special way to get hold of Guru Swords?”
For a moment, all the major forces in Wulin felt that from now on, they must see John Doe in a new light.
In the world, a man who could offer so many Guru Swords was definitely not an ordinary person. Even the top forces in Wulin could by no means achieve that. Now that John Doe could put so many Guru Swords for sale, it showed that he was not an ordinary person. It also meant that there was a super-powerful force that people would shudder in fear at the thought of it backing him up!
Although everyone was in shock, the auction was not over yet.
