Chapter 1131 - The Most Valuable Treasure (2/2)

“5.1 million.”

Finally, an old man with a florid Chinese-style robe and reading glasses raised the plate number placed next to him. When he found everyone else gazing at him, he immediately smiled and said, “It’s just 5 million. Who knows if I got a lucky stroke, no? It could also be a good thing.”

The host finally felt relieved when he heard the bid. He had hosted many auctions with many high-class articles. Yet, he never had run into such a situation in the past. If such an unwanted situation did happen, it would definitely affect his auction by quite a bit.

He smiled at the old man and praised him. “This elderly gentleman truly has keen eyes, doesn’t he? This pearl could indeed be a big treasure. Besides, all those treasure expert appraisers did say that its value should be over 5 million yuan, which proves that this object is not ordinary. What about everyone else? Is there anyone that wants to bid higher? If not, this prospective enormous treasure can be bagged by the elderly gentleman!”

“5.5 million.”

As his voice faded away, someone finally quoted. However, only very few people were interested to bid for such an object. After several rounds of bidding, the final price finally halted at 6.2 million.

“Does anyone else wants to bid higher?” the host asked again.

Tang Xiu slowly lifted the number plate placed next to him and smilingly shouted, “6.5 million!”

The price was incremented by 300,000 at once. The figure was not much, yet it still garnered a lot of attention. Especially to Gu Changmin and Ji Xiangkui who knew his real identity. Both men instantly shifted their eyes to the Dragon Pearl with eyes slightly lit up.

“That thing should be good stuff! Everything that can attract his eyes is surely not ordinary,” commented Jin Xingkui in a low voice.

“My hunch exactly.” Gu Changmin slightly nodded and said, “But let’s restrain ourselves from bidding since he already has his eye on it. We can never offend him over a valuable.”

“I know that,” replied Jin Xingkui in a whisper. “But if he does win the bid for it, let’s ask him about it when we drink later.”

“Got it!” replied Gu Changmin without many words.

The middle-aged man who quoted 6.2 million turned to look at Tang Xiu with astonishment and found that the man was unfamiliar. Although he was surprised that Tang Xiu was so young, he still lifted his number again and shouted, “7 million!”

“7.5!” Tang Xiu raised his number and called out.

“8!” followed the middle-aged man

“8.5!” Tang Xiu lifted his number again.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment. He turned to look at Tang Xiu again and immediately gave up the bid.

Finally, this Dragon Pearl was won by Tang Xiu at the price of 8.5 million yuan. He then chose to head to the backstage as fast as possible to receive it and returned to his seat five-plus minutes later with the pearl.

At this moment, no one knew how enormously excited and surprised Tang Xiu was. This ancient dragon’s pearl contained a colossus amount of energy that, let alone 8.5 million yuan, even if all the money in the banks in the entire Earth were added together, it was still far from enough to buy it.

Half an hour passed by and the auction was finally about to reach an end. Another item appeared before Tang Xiu’s eyes again. But after seeing the picture of the object displayed on the projection screen and hearing the description from the auction host, thick killing intent overflowed from his eyes.

It turns out to be the Aeroglider!

It was the high-tech Avion researched and developed by the Magnificent Tang Corporation. Not even a piece of it had been sold to anyone except those that were part of the deal with the military! Yet, one of them suddenly appeared in this auction. It made Tang Xiu instantly realize that there must be some problems either in the military or in his own company!

“I’ve explained all the energy-efficient features of this object clearly, so now I’ll announce that the base price is at 10 million, and each increment shall not be less than 1 million!” announced the host with a smile.

“Halt!”

Tang Xiu straightly got up from his seat. Under the watchful gazes of the host and more than 200 guests, he strode to the auction stage and swept over the audience with cold, chilling eyes. Then, he immediately spoke in a heavy voice, “What an interesting object! But I’ll do everything I can to get it. I’ll keep incrementing the price by 1 million regardless of everyone else’s bid. However…”

The host’s expression drastically changed and looked shocked. But after finding how cold Tang Xiu’s expression was, he hurriedly called out, “Sir, please think carefully. If the price quoted by the bidder is too high, I’m afraid it will cause you…”

Tang Xiu raised his hand to interrupt him and indifferently said, “Rest your worries. No one will dare to bid today since they will have to face me! I know everyone will be offended by my strange attitude here, but this object is too important, and those who dare to go against me will end up very miserable!”

An old man sitting on the second-row seat frowned and unhappily said, “Don’t speak so crazy, young man. Don’t treat all of us here like we’re poor even if you do have the money. This level of an auction is not the kind of place you can show off!”

“You think I’m showing off? You wanna try me?” Tang Xiu sneered.
