“Du Fei, what do you think? Is this thing on stage real or fake?”
Gong Chengbin tilted his head and looked at Du Fei beside him.
At first, Gong Chengbin, like most people, thought this finale item, the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Bead, was definitely fake.
However, the guy named Old Kong who went on stage just now seemed like a completely different person. After coming down, he kept his eyes fixed on the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Bead.
This immediately piqued Gong Chengbin’s interest.
That's why he asked Du Fei.
“Whether it’s real or fake, I’m not interested.”
If it were real, the price would definitely be exorbitant. Even though Du Fei was wealthy, he couldn't compare to some of the big bosses present, let alone Jiang Feng, that super-rich second generation.
As for it being fake, well, that goes without saying.
That's why Du Fei gave Gong Chengbin such a simple and straightforward answer.
Hearing Du Fei’s answer, which was practically no answer at all, Gong Chengbin could only helplessly roll his eyes at him.
Following that, the auctioneer casually selected a few more people to go on stage.
These people's reactions were similar to Old Kong's earlier. As soon as they finished trying it on, they acted as if their lives were at stake when it was time to take it off.
This completely shocked everyone present.
Finally, seeing the crowd's reaction, Jiang Feng also volunteered to try it.
The auctioneer, naturally, did not refuse such a patron as Jiang Feng, who had previously purchased many items and was a generous bidder.
“Holy shit! I want this! I must have it!”
After trying it on, before he even took off the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Bead bracelet, Jiang Feng declared.
Then, after repeated persuasion from the auctioneer, Jiang Feng reluctantly took off the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Bead bracelet.
“I believe, after trying it on, everyone has felt its magic,” the auctioneer said with a smile after Jiang Feng, the last person to try it, had returned to his seat.
He was so confident because no matter who wore this string of Nine-Eyed Heavenly Beads, they would feel refreshed, their minds clear, and their spirits considerably lifted.
This was precisely the miraculous aspect of this string of Nine-Eyed Heavenly Beads. It could regulate the body's internal magnetic field and ward off misfortune.
Long-term wear also brought many more benefits to the body. Although it sounded exaggerated, it indeed had real effects. Otherwise, the people who had just tried it on wouldn't have all displayed an expression of absolute determination to acquire the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Bead bracelet.
Seeing that everyone present was eager to bid, the auctioneer smiled and announced the start of the auction.
“Ten million!”
As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, Old Kong, who had been the first to try on the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Bead bracelet, immediately shouted.
As the first person to try it on, he had personally experienced the magic of the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Bead.
After borrowing money from his table companions just now, Old Kong was confident that he would acquire this string of Nine-Eyed Heavenly Bead bracelets.
“Fifteen million!”
As Old Kong finished speaking, the second bidder arrived.
“Twenty million!”
“Twenty-three million!”
“Twenty-five million!”
In less than a minute, the price had reached twenty-five million. The auctioneer didn't even need to say anything to stir up the atmosphere; everyone present was acting as if they were on stimulants.
“Fifty million!”
Just when everyone thought the price would continue to climb, a figure that shocked everyone was called out.
Whoosh.
Fifty million?
Was it really that outrageous? They had jumped straight to fifty million.
The bidder was none other than Jiang Feng. As everyone's attention focused on him, Jiang Feng chuckled, “No matter who bids higher, I will follow. In a word, this Nine-Eyed Heavenly Bead bracelet, I, Jiang Feng, am determined to have it!”
Listening to Jiang Feng’s extremely arrogant words, everyone present showed displeasure.
But there was nothing they could do. Jiang Feng indeed had a father who was one of the ten richest men, giving him the capital to be so arrogant.
Although some of the people present were worth hundreds of millions, that was their entire fortune, which paled in comparison to Jiang Feng's father.
Therefore, even though Jiang Feng was outrageously arrogant, after his words fell, no one present continued to bid.
Firstly, the price was too high. Secondly, they didn't want to offend Jiang Feng over this.
Even though the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Bead bracelet's efficacy was indeed magical, offending Jiang Feng over a bracelet was simply not worth it.
“Hurry up and hammer it down. I said it earlier, I’m getting this thing!” Jiang Feng said brazenly, with Meng Ying leaning beside him.
He specifically cast his gaze towards Gong Chengbin. Seeing that the other was looking at him, he deliberately gave a provocative look, wanting to provoke him into competing.
However, forget fifty million, even twenty million was beyond Gong Chengbin's current means, so he naturally wouldn't compete with Jiang Feng for the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Bead bracelet.
“Fifty million, first call!”
“Fifty million, second call!”
“Fift…”
“Wait, I bid fifty million and one thousand!”
Just as the auctioneer was about to bring down the hammer to finalize the sale, someone finally bid again.
When everyone saw who the bidder was, their expressions were far more interesting than before.
“Holy shit! Did I hear or see wrong? The person who just bid was the little fatty?”
“Young Master Jiang bid fifty million, do you think he can really compete with him?”
“Could it be that the little fatty just wants to make a bid?”
It turned out that the person who had just bid fifty million and one thousand was Fatty.
In everyone's eyes, this Fatty was someone with no money who just wanted to seek attention.
However, at this moment, he bid fifty million and one thousand. If Jiang Feng didn't follow up with a bid, wouldn't he be in trouble?
If he couldn't produce that much money, the auction house would definitely not let him off.
“Holy shit! You dare to snatch my stuff? Fifty-five million!” Jiang Feng said, having already made his statement and not willing to back down easily.
Besides, he had heard people discussing this Fatty before and assumed the guy was deliberately bidding.
“Fifty-five million and one thousand!”
Fatty actually bid again, still only one thousand higher than Jiang Feng's bid.
If the previous bid was considered an attempt by Fatty to seek attention, then bidding twice in a row, each time only one thousand higher than Jiang Feng, was clearly intended to provoke Jiang Feng.
Although it wasn't specified at the auction how much the minimum bid increment was, at tens of millions, only adding one thousand each time, wasn't that intentional?
“Damn it! Sixty million!” Jiang Feng cursed and continued to bid.
“Sixty million and one thousand.”
“Seventy million!”
“Seventy million and one thousand.”
Soon, the price reached ninety million and one thousand.
Fatty was also quite interesting. No matter how much Jiang Feng bid, he only added one thousand.
At this point, reaching ninety million, Jiang Feng began to hesitate.
His father indeed doted on him, but ninety million was not a small sum.
Jiang Feng stared at Fatty, his eyes flickering.
Finally, Jiang Feng gritted his teeth and said, “One hundred million!”
Young Master Jiang's dignity could not be lost at this moment. Jiang Feng didn't believe this Fatty would dare to bid again.
“One hundred million and one thousand.”
Fatty bid again, still only one thousand more.
Jiang Feng immediately stood up and pointed at Fatty, shouting, “Holy shit! Are you deliberately disgusting me?”
“Uh, the auction didn't say you couldn't bid one thousand more. How I bid is my business.”
Fatty's demeanor made Jiang Feng even more furious.
However, he couldn't afford to bid any higher.
With the auctioneer's third hammer fall.
The Nine-Eyed Heavenly Bead bracelet ultimately fell into the hands of Fatty, whom everyone had looked down upon.
This was truly the most surprising event of the auction today.
