Chapter 1097 (2/2)

Swish!

All of the people were looking around to see who had bid. Finally, they saw a young man with a smile, who was on top of the pavilion. This man was Mu Chen, who had won the array previously!

“He can actually pay such a high price?” someone asked in disbelief, as 28 million was not something that could be provided by just any force!

Qin Ya, Mu Shan, and many others glanced at Mu Chen with surprise and bewilderment. Xia Hong was stunned for a moment as well.

When he composed himself, he glanced at Mu Chen, then said with a ghastly voice, “Hey kid, this is not the place for you to be fooling around. If you call out a price, you need to be able to pay that price.”

Mu Chen looked back at him and said, “No need for your reminder, Forth Prince, as 28 million is a price that the Daluo Territory can still afford.”

Tan Qiu and the others who were standing behind Mu Chen were stunned by Mu Chen’s high bid. After all, the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid that they had left, minus that which had been used by Mu Chen before, now totaled only 30 million! And now, Mu Chen had just bid almost all of it at once!

However, even they were stunned, they did not say anything. This was because they understood that, since they had such limited financial resources, if they wanted to compete, they must show some pomp and arrogance to intimidate their opponents. However, it was unclear whether the 28 million in Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was enough to shock and intimidate Xia Hong.

On the opposite side of the loft, Xia Hong looked gloomy. His cold eyes were staring at Mu Chen. Although the resources of the Great Xia Dynasty were vast, the amount of them that he could use was not limitless.

He thought for a minute, deciding that 30 million Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was enough to support a strong exhibition and attract many powerful individuals to work with his forces. So, Xia Hong took a deep breath and sighed grimly, then called out, “30 million!”

Wow!

The whole pavilion was shaken up by his new bid. Even the faces of Qin Ya and the others turned grim, as they secretly shook their heads.

Then, all eyes turned to focus on Mu Chen, as everyone was wondering what he would choose to do next. Under the gaze of those eyes, Mu Chen did not hesitate and said, “31 million.”

He looked calm and confident. Hence, only Nine Nether, Tan Qiu, and the others who stood behind him knew that this price exceeded their limit. Beyond this, they could not afford even another ten thousand!

Swish!

Xia Hong stood up, He grinded his teeth and glanced at Mu Chen. The handrail that he had been grasping was full of his deep fingerprints. He had not expected that Mu Chen dared to toy with him!

Glaring at Mu Chen, Xia Hong growled out a new bid. “35 million!” he shouted. This price had reached the limits of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Mu Chen stared at Xia Hong, whose face was still distorted. He looked calm, but he sighed deep down in his heart. This Great Xia Dynasty was really rich, and the level at which they fought really made him unbearable!

After giving it much thought, Mu Chen shook his head gently and chose to give up.

“Let’s find a way later,” Nine Nether whispered. Mu Chen nodded, knowing that was the only way.

“How come?” Xia Hong saw Mu Chen gave up, so poked at him with a mocking question. He then said with a cold laugh, “The small Daluo Territory tried to compete with Great Xia Dynasty! You had no idea what you were dealing with!”

Nine Nether was angry and wanted to get up and confront him, but she was stopped by Mu Chen. He knew that nothing good would come from fighting in this place.

Xia Hong snorted and turned his focus to Han Fei, who stood on the stage. He then asked, “Are you still not going to announce it?”

After all, no one would be able to outbid such a price. So, Han Fei quickly nodded, ready to announce the official end of the auction.

However, just as he was about to make the announcement, a sweet voice suddenly echoed throughout the pavilion, shocking everyone.

“I will pay 45 million,” the sweet voice said.

A dead silence filled the entire pavilion. Xia Hong’s eyes were bulging wide open because of this price, and Mu Chen was equally stunned.

Inside the pavilion, all eyes started to search crazily to discover who had made such a bid. After a while, many eyes were focused toward Mu Chen.

Mu Chen was shocked to realize that all eyes were focused on him. Immediately, he turned his head and looked behind him.

He saw a girl, who was as beautiful as a fairy and wearing a black dress. She was chewing a spiritual fruit. Her eyes were lovely and she was an amazing beauty.

While she chewing the spiritual fruit, her eyes met Mu Chen’s stunned gaze. She quickly raised her hand and swallowed the fruit’s flesh in her mouth. She then smiled and said, “Hey Mu Chen! We meet again!”
