91 Exorbitant Price (2/2)

Some people took some pictures to send to their bosses. Phone calls kept ringing everywhere as they became crazy in bidding.

A number of them pooled their money to have a chance of getting it, agreeing to split the jewel up later.

The bid continued to shoot up. No one wanted to give up. Most of the onlookers were starting to think they were crazy.

But it wasn't that simple. From their years of experience dealing with jewels, they can determine that this one was different than the commonly traded ones.

”40 Million!”

There was a middle-aged man in the crowd that shook in excitement every time a higher bid was being made. His face was completely red as his bright smile never faded. Max figured that he must be the seller that needed the money.

'Crazy! Crazy people!

'What are they doing?!'

'Too expensive! That's a waste of money!'

Max was initially feeling pretty good that he had a lot of money, but seeing these people splurge money more than double his entire savings, made him feel poor and irrelevant.

Each bid was like a bomb that exploded in his ears. Every explosion made him feel smaller and smaller. In the end, the highest bid reached an outstanding 82 Million!

The man who got it was the first man who shouted for his bid. Right after successfully winning it, the man and the seller from the crowd went out to seal the transaction.

Since then, the man never came back. It seemed that he spent all his available balance in that jewel and not wanting to be in any trouble, went away while being guarded tightly by his security.

Happiness was all over the woman's face. This was only the first one, and she already sold it for a hefty amount! If this were to continue, she would surely secure that lump of bonus.

'Little Dou! We have to make our move now! This can't happen again! I lost a lot of money just by sitting here!'

Max still couldn't believe it. If he had arrived earlier and didn't sit here to watch, he could have gotten that expensive jewel.

He felt as if someone stole his money even when it wasn't his, to begin with. He already treated all the items as his property.

Max didn't look back and walked straight out. As everyone was busy waiting for the next item, no one bothered to look at him.

He arrived at a small hallway somewhere. There wasn't anything in it except some paintings on the wall. Since Max went out in the middle of the event, there was no one with him excluding Little Dou.

Max and Little Dou then went on their way. After Little Dou flew in so many directions, turning left and right for a good minute, evading some guards that were stationed in their spots, they reached their destination.

It was a warehouse at the back that has a lot of guards outside. Each of them was carefully checking the items that were being brought in and out of the room.

'Xiao Ming is inside?'

[Up there!]

Little Dou pointed to an elevator that wasn't operational. But that never stopped Max from using the stairs after avoiding another group of people to head up.

Max wanted to see if he could do something to annoy Xiao Ming, even just a tiny bit. After all, it would give him happiness if Xiao Ming were to be pissed off.
