Chapter 728 - One Billion and Two Hundred Million Upper-grade Yuan Stones
This time, Jiang Moliang didn’t ignore what he had said. She didn’t think it funny, either.
They were sitting close enough for her to perceive the coldness deep in Jiang Chen’s eyes.
As a Celestial Venerable, she couldn’t help but recoil in shock.
When she had come to herself, Jiang Chen had looked away. He was looking at the stage.
Jiang Moliang snorted. She stopped arguing.
Jiang Chen’s reaction made her realize this Young Master Wind, whose origin was a mystery, wasn’t a person easy to deal with.
“Glad to see you in the monthly Treasure Auction again. Although we won’t have ten thousand treasures here, I guarantee you won’t feel disappointed.”
However, he couldn’t do it at the moment.
That was why he wanted it.
If he had a sword that could control heaven thunders, he would be strong enough to fight with a Celestial Venerable indeed.
“One billion and 50 million.”
After thinking it over and over again, Jiang Chen finally bid.
He would spend all of his savings, but he never thought one could be rich through saving.
Carpe diem — that was his motto.
However, as soon as he bid, he attracted numerous people’s surprised looks.
“What are you doing?!”
Jiang Moliang said coldly, “Do you expect the Jiangs to buy you a weapon?”
She didn’t speak through holy awareness, so many people heard her.
The surprised people showed an interesting smile. They were curious how Jiang Chen would react.
“I’m subject to the blood oath, but I’m not subjected to your judgment. Go back where you came from when the auction is over,” Jiang Chen said calmly.
Jiang Moliang pressed her lips into a thin line. Her look was as sharp as a sword.
“Alas, let me relieve someone from his awkward situation. One billion 70 million.”
Mu Qitian raised his arm to bid. He said, “If you don’t have money, don’t…”
“One billion and 80 million,” Jiang Chen interrupted him by bidding.
Mu Qiyun’s smile froze on his face right away.
Others were also puzzled. The Jiangs had made it clear that they wouldn’t pay for him. Why was he still bidding?
Even the woman on the stage wanted to warn him, but she thought it would be too offensive, so in the end, she didn’t.
“Miss Jiang, will the Jiangs pay for the auction?”
It was Mu Qitian who posed the critical question.
“No,” Jiang Moliang said decisively.
“So, he is just horsing around?”
Mu Qitian looked towards the stage. He said, “Won’t the Committee of the Treasure Auction do something about it?”
Instantly, the woman was under the gaze of everyone on the scene. What she would say next would be crucial.
As the host of the auction, she was calm enough to deal with the crisis. She said slowly, “As long as this client is sitting there, he has the right to bid. Whether he is rich enough isn’t what we should focus on now. It’s very disrespectful to say things like that at this moment.”
Many people agreed with her.
“It’s the problem between you young people. Don’t let it affect the auction. It’s quite inappropriate.”
A great Venerable said unhappily.
Mu Qitian turned pale immediately. He was sweating heavily.
It was him with whom the great Venerable was unhappy.
The bid continued. The price soon reached one billion 100 million.
In the whole process, Jiang Chen had been actively engaged in the bidding.
People started to talk when there had been only few bidders left.
Where did Jiang Chen get the confidence without the support of the Jiangs?
However, the committee of the Treasure Auction had aired their opinion. He had the right to bid.
If in the end he stopped bidding and someone else got the Lightning Sword, he would do nothing wrong.
Unless…
“One billion 200 million.”
Jiang Chen bid again. The other bidders all stayed silent this time.
Five seconds later, the woman on the stage spoke.
“One billion 200 million, first.”
Mu Qitian cheered up upon hearing this. He looked he was gloating.
“One billion 200 million, second.”
Mu Qitian couldn’t help but smile.
He would have burst out laughing if he had seen panic on Jiang Chen’s face.
“One billion 200 million, last chance.”
“Sold!”
In this way, Jiang Chen got the Lightning Sword.
It meant he would have to pay one billion 200 million upper-grade yuan stones.
