Awakening the War God

Chapter 168 An Intense Auction

"Three million six hundred thousand dollars!"

"Three million six hundred and fifty thousand dollars!"

"Four million dollars!"

"..."

After several rounds of bidding, the man in the No. 21 seat raised the bid to four million dollars.

The other guests who had considered competing shook their heads and no longer placed bids.

The man in the twenty-first seat grinned and put his arm around the waist of the beautiful woman beside him.

"Four million dollars once!"

"Four million dollars twice!"

"Four million dollars three times, sold! Congratulations to our distinguished guest in seat number twenty-one for winning the Victoria blue and white dragon pattern gallbladder vase for four million dollars!"

As the female hostess struck the gavel, the first item was successfully auctioned.

The winning bidder for the Victoria blue and white dragon pattern gallbladder vase was guest No. 21, a CEO of a listed company named Ben Stark, and an ardent collector of antiques.

Now the item found its master!

Next, a female crew member rolled out the second item, the white gown worn by Marilyn Monroe!

The female host began introducing the item: "This white gown used to be worn by Marilyn Monroe, and it's the one she wore in that world-famous 'subway grate' photograph. It's highly collectible, with a starting bid of one million dollars. Interested parties, please raise your paddles to bid!"

Clearly, there weren't many takers for this item.

For a long time, no one raised their paddles.

Just then, a guest in seat No. 27, who sported a goatee, raised his paddle and said, "One million two hundred thousand dollars!"

After that, no one else bid.

After three inquiries by the female host, the gavel was struck!

And so, the second item was successfully auctioned, with the winning bidder being guest No. 27, the stock market guru, Silas Everest!

The auction continued!

A female crew member rolled out the third item, a scroll made of sheepskin, containing the secret martial art techniques of "Death's Forbidden Hand" from the T Country!

The female host introduced it, saying, "Next up is a treat for martial arts enthusiasts. This sheepskin scroll contains the secret martial art techniques of 'Death's Hand' from the mysterious T Country. It's rumored that mastering the ten forbidden techniques in this scroll will make you the top martial artist in T Country. Starting at eight hundred thousand dollars, martial arts enthusiasts, please raise your paddles to bid!"

Although the starting price was low, people immediately raised their bid.

"One million dollars!"

The first bidder was a guest in seat sixteen, a heavily bearded man who bore a striking resemblance to Harden!

"One million one hundred thousand dollars!"

The second bidder was a guest in seat No. 26, an elderly man in traditional robes!

After that, the two of them went back and forth, raising the price to two million eight hundred thousand dollars!

In the midst of it, Alonzo shouted just for the fun of it!

But it was purely for show, and he didn't bid further!

"Three million five hundred thousand dollars!"

The heavily bearded man made another move, adding seven hundred thousand dollars, and the price soared to three million five hundred thousand dollars!

The elderly man in seat No. 26 was furious, but he found it difficult to bid again.

The price had exceeded his expectations, and who knew if the martial arts techniques on the sheepskin scroll would be suitable for someone from Dragon Kingdom?

Seeing the elderly man hesitate, the female host added fuel to the fire with a flirtatious tone, saying, "Distinguished guest No. 26, are you going to raise your bid? You look like a martial arts expert. If you don't bid now, you might miss out on this ancient martial arts secret!" This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Provoked by the female host, the elderly man in traditional robes raised his paddle and shouted, "Three million five hundred and fifty thousand dollars!"

That was his limit, and after shouting, he stared at the heavily bearded man, hoping that he wouldn't raise the bid any further.

But the bearded man grinned and said, "Three million six hundred thousand dollars!"

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, the elderly man couldn't take it anymore and give up bidding.

After three confirmations by the female host, the gavel finally fell.

Eventually, after intense bidding, the third item, "Death's Hand," found its owner, No. 16, Mr. Dominick Parker!

The auction continued!

When the female crew member rolled out the fourth item, the ladies in the audience went wild.

It was a beautiful gem, sparkling and dazzling!

"Wow! This item is a favorite among women. Now, gentlemen, it's time to show how generous you are and how much you love the women by your side! A multi-colored gem named Blue Ocean, starting at four million dollars!"

Just as the female host introduced the item, the guests started bidding frantically!

A man never skimps on money before his woman, not least in a public competition.

In no time, the price directly doubled and broke through eight million dollars!

After a few more rounds of bidding, it suddenly surpassed ten million!

This gem became the hottest item in the first four rounds of the auction!

"Eleven million dollars!"

With his arm around the waist of a beautiful woman, guest No, 21, Ben, looked full of confidence.

Beside him, the charming beauty Jessie leaned against his well-padded chest. At this moment, the man in front of her was the most handsome and charismatic man in the world.

"Honey, you're so amazing! Tonight, I'll be totally at your mercy!"

Jessie coquettishly said, and Ben, feeling triumphant, whispered in her ear, "Two golf balls for you tonight!"

"Come on, you're so naughty!"

Jessie playfully punched Ben's chest, her strength gentle.

At this price point, it was almost the limit.

As expected, no one else was willing to compete with Ben.

When the female hostess struck the gavel, Jessie became the proudest woman in the room, casting a disdainful glance at the other women present.

"What's the difference between that thing and a glass bottle?" A young man behind Dominick, the heavily bearded man, asked in confusion.

Dominick sighed, "Cest la vie, some people have too much money and some women are extremely vain."

The young man nodded in agreement.

The auction continued, with one item left for the night!

When the female crew member pushed the item onstage, the normally quiet guest No. 2 became lively!

Alonzo, who had been reclining, sat up straight, smiling as he glanced at Kelly Fisher, who was full of anticipation. "Rest assured, I'll definitely get you this knife. I don't believe anyone here has more money than me!"

It was an arrogant statement, but it was also the truth!

The financial power of the Garza family was unthinkable; to them, money was never an issue.

Kelly Fisher nodded eagerly, looking at Ogre Slayer on the stage with almost dripping anticipation. He was already looking forward to wielding Ogre Slayer and unleashing its devastating two-sword style!

"The last item tonight is a famous sword from Jadia, with an extremely ancient history. It's rumored to be the 'Demon Slayer' sword, incredibly sharp, capable of cutting steel, and we also have several distinguished guests from Jadia tonight. We hope you can bid generously. Starting at three million dollars!" The beautiful hostess introduced.

As soon as she finished introducing, Alonzo raised his paddle and arrogantly shouted, "Five million dollars!"

In an instant, he drove the price up by a significant margin!

"Five million and fifty thousand dollars!"

A bald-headed old man from the eighth guest seat raised his paddle.

He shouted in English, which sounded strange and awkward.

"Six million dollars!"

Alonzo raised his paddle again and gave a snort.

The old man in the white robe couldn't help but furrow his brow, hesitating. He looked back at a veiled woman sitting beside him.

Seeing the woman nod, the old man in the white robe raised his paddle again and said, "Six million and fifty thousand dollars!"

The increment was very small, indicating that this was their limit.

"Oh, dare to challenge me!" Alonzo raised his paddle once more. "Seven million dollars!"

With this bid, the veiled woman also frowned.

The old man in the white robe spoke to the veiled woman in Jadian, "My Divine Maiden, this price is already beyond our limit!"
