Chapter 915: Openly and Righteously Cheat!

“Peak-grade Melting Crystal, a catalyst that greatly enhances the success rate of spirit injection! Starting price: 3 million Amethyst Coins! You don’t want to miss this!”

The host shouted as hard as he could, but after Bai Xiaofei became the first bidder, no one else made a move. However, it was not out of fear or respect for him as such things did not exist in a place like auctions. Looking at the guests, it was as if they didn’t see the item at all!

“It’s time for you to drop the hammer,” Bai Xiaofei reminded the host.

The latter immediately started the longest finalization in his career to date, but despite that, no one bidded against Bai Xiaofei.

Just like that, Bai Xiaofei won the first item at its starting price. And that was only the beginning. In the following auctioned items, whatever material Shi Kui wanted, Bai Xiaofei won them one by one at the starting prices.

Gradually, not only the host, but even Shi Kui felt something was wrong.

“Big Brother Fei, don’t tell me you…” Shi Kui anxiously gulped. He didn’t even dare to finish his words.

“Well, you guessed right. In the illusion I’ve created for them, they are bidding fiercely. For example, the ganoderma juice we bought with 10 million just now, they have already called it to over 100 million,” said Bai Xiaofei nonchalantly without any scruples.

“Big Brother Fei, this is Ethereal! If you do that…” Shi Kui sprang up from his seat in horror.

However, Bai Xiaofei had no intention to stop. “First, the auction never states that the bidders are forbidden to use their ability to influence the process. Second, even if they notice something wrong, they have no evidence. Third, that guy Ling Yue never mentioned anything about compensating me. If I don’t get it back here, I’ll lose out big time!” he listed three reasons in a row.

Shi Kui stared in shock. So you’re openly and self-righteously bullying people!

However, after Bai Xiaofei continued for three more items, the auction was temporarily suspended because the hall had nearly been overturned by the puppetsmiths present.

Bai Xiaofei’s limited energy didn’t allow him to keep the whole auction house in his illusion. When it was an item that Shi Kui didn’t need, he would deactivate his ability and recover energy.

Therefore, those who successfully won an item in the illusion, but didn’t get the real thing in the end, realized that something was wrong. When a barrage of reports came up, the staff of the Ethereal Merchant Group could not sit still. At this rate, even though they wouldn’t lose money as the starting price was already profitable, they wouldn’t be able to make a big profit either.

And as to why this happened, the Ethereal Merchant Group soon figured it out. After all, Bai Xiaofei was famous.

That’s why people are afraid of being famous like pigs are afraid of being fat… An Illusion Stream puppet master was really not suitable to be famous!

“Mister Bai, is it convenient to talk?”

Unsurprisingly, the door was knocked on, making everyone in the room except Bai Xiaofei jittery.

“Of course, but you’d better bring something delicious. The Crystal’s Longings here aren’t enough,” demanded Bai Xiaofei with a cool face. Crystal’s Longings were a rare commodity even in the Kingdom of Snow.

“That is for certain, Mister Bai.” The people outside were very thoughtful. They couldn’t afford to offend Bai Xiaofei and could only coax him.

Knowing that there were delicious things outside, Huskie ran to the door and opened it before Bai Xiaofei could say anything. Before the staff could even react, their Crystal’s Longings had been taken away.

“My lord, although this is very abrupt…”

“Not at all, I know that you could guess, and you’re right, it was me. However, your place has no rules saying bidders can only compete with money. I didn’t do anything to your personnel at all, so you can only blame the other bidders for their poor puppet master abilities.”

Bai Xiaofei’s reaction was completely beyond the expectations of the staff. His words rendered them speechless.

Why doesn’t he follow the plot?!

“My lord, you are certainly correct, but those people outside…”

“Tell them to come find me. That is, if they have the guts and are strong enough to make me spit out the things in my pocket. Next, I’ll win the items I want using my way. If you think there is a problem with that, go to the Fourth Prince.” Bai Xiaofei’s tone was firm. “Alright, I’ve stated my attitude, and there’s nothing you can do to change anything. If someone comes to you for trouble again, just push it on me. Also, next time you open an auction, remember to guard against Illusion Stream puppet masters.”
