Chapter 638 300 Million!

“Hee-hee, come here.”

Qian Xiao generously stretched out his hand and waved, while doing the petty niggling in his mind.

This time, he brought a total of 300 million yuan with him. The six sixth-class swords he had bought cost 26 million yuan, leaving him still 274 million yuan. Although the continuous frenetic biddings made the price soar, as no one’s money was just stacks of papers, he believed the true wealth of all the bidders would soon be revealed. For that reason, he planned to hold back first to check out how deep the other bidders’ pockets were.

“Please allow me.”

Lu Zhiyuan turned around and held fist salute to the Gong family. Then, he swiped his bidding card.

“Beep!”

“Line 1, Number 49, bids 230 million.”

At his side, Zhan Lin slightly knitted his brows.

230 million was nearly his bottom line.

Without much thinking—

“Beep!”

Zhan Lin immediately placed a bid.

“Line 1, Number 50, bids 250 million!”

Hearing that, all the people present couldn’t help exclaiming.

“He added another 20 million in one breath?”

“Damn it, doesn’t he value his money?”

“He is surely loaded.”

At this scene, Fang Qiu giggled.

250 million!

It was enough to start two companies, wasn’t it?

He Gaoming stared at Fang Qiu with an ingratiating look and said, “Master, could you give me a teeny-tiny bite of this fortune?”

“Get lost,” said Fang Qiu with a smirk.

The auction went on.

“Beep!”

“Line 1, Number 49, bids 270 million!”

Another bidding was heard.

Lu Zhiyuan made his move.

“You guys continue. I’ll quit.”

Hearing that someone bid 270 million yuan, Zhan Lin shrugged nonchalantly as if it was not a big deal to him.

“Someone is quitting so soon?”

Qian Xiao chuckled and swiped his bidding card.

“Beep!”

“Line 1, Number 48, bids 276 million!”

This time, Qian Xiao had also staked all of his money. He was betting on this last bidding.

“Well, I quit.”

Lu Zhiyuan gave a wry smile and said, “Our Family Head asked me to deliver the message that no matter who gets the Guru Sword in the end, he hopes we can have more dealings with him in the future.”

“If it’s we Qian family, Director Lu, you can rest assured,” Qian Xiao responded with a hearty laugh.

He was confident in winning the bid.

Although the Guru Sword had never appeared in the market before, he expected the price to be around 200 million yuan tops. But to play safe, he came here with a total of 300 million yuan. Now the auction price had soared to 276 million yuan, it seemed that no one else had the ability to continue to bid.

After all, even the Four Great Families could not scrape together more than 300 million yuan within five days. They could only bring as much money as they had at hand. If they really couldn’t get it, there was nothing they could do.

Look at the Zhan family.

Being a large family with a large business, although they had many fixed assets, there was not much cash available in their hands. Therefore, in five days, they only raised 250 million. They thought it was enough, but it turned out that they were the first to be kicked out of the game.

Even with the support of the Xilian Chamber of Commerce, Lu Zhiyuan, the representative of the Xi family, only raised 270 million yuan.

“Beep!”

However, before Qian Xiao’s laughter died away, another bidding was heard.

“Line 1, Number 47, bids 288 million!”

As the auctioneer announced the bid, Qian Xiao’s face fell in an instant.

The Gong family!

The Gong family again!

Why?

Why was the Gong family willing to spend so extravagantly this time?

“I quit!”

With a sullen face, Qian Xiao opened his mouth and remarked.

At his words, the people present booed.

To their surprise, the two great families in the capital— the Zhan family and the Qian family— were eliminated in succession. Even the Xi family, which was patronized by the Xilian Chamber of Commerce, had lost the qualification to continue to compete.

By far, the party who was most likely to become the owner of the Guru Sword turned out to be the Gong family!

Among the Four Great Families, only the Diwu Qian had not yet made a move. However, judging from the performance of the other three families, the current auction price had probably reached Qilu Qian’s upper limit, if had not already surpassed it.

“Sister Qian, you can’t already be out of the game before you make one bid, can you?” Zhan Lin asked jokingly.

“Eh?”

Diwu Qian turned her head and looked at the other three families, then, said thoughtfully, “I almost forgot that you’ve been knocked out. I was wondering why there was no bid during this whole time.”

A sweet smile was plastered on Qilu Qian’s face.

She then placed her bidding card in the sensing area.

After that, she turned to look at the representative of the Gong family and said, “I’ll only bid once. This time, I’ll bet all my money on it.”

“Beep!”

“Line 1, Number 51, bids 300 million!”

The auctioneer’s announcement rang out.

All of a sudden, the whole place was dead silent!

Everyone was stunned.

She bid 300 million!

The auction price actually went to 300 million!

“Oh my god…”

All kinds of exclamations rang in the hall.

In the first row—

“You win.”

The representative of the Gong family had a bitter smile on his face.

Under the order he received this time, he must outbid everyone on the auction of the Guru Sword even if he had to spend all the money!

But who knew that even though the superior gave him 300 million yuan, Diwu Qian directly topped his quota when he only got to bid 288 million yuan?

The feeling of being stifled at the very last moment was indeed stimulating!

“300 million, once.”

“300 million, twice. Anyone else who wants to offer a higher bid?”

“300 million, the third time. No one wants to bid it up?”

“300 million, deal!”

The auctioneer’s shouted as the gavel banged the table.

“300 million! 300 million!”

He Gaoming gazed at Fang Qiu with goggle eyes and said, “Master, if you have a bag of rice, it’s not too much to give your disciple a grain of rice, right?”

“Way too much!”

Fang Qiu rejected without hesitation.

At this moment, he was also in great shock.

300 million yuan!

He was even more surprised than He Gaoming was.

A Guru Sword had actually been sold exorbitantly for 300 million yuan!

This auction had earned him a lot of money!

It was really a good deal!

Fang Qiu, who was hard up for money, suddenly became a billionaire after the auction.

It was like a person who only got a paycheck of a few hundred yuan a month suddenly won a 10-million-yuan lottery.

That kind of joy and excitement was something ordinary people couldn’t understand!

Nonetheless, despite all the excitement and shock, Fang Qiu still forced himself to contain his internal Qi, slow down his heartbeat, and gradually calmed down.

During the meantime, the auctioneer stepped down and the middle-aged manager who hosted the event at the beginning took the stage to make a speech.

All the people present also stood up, preparing to leave.

But right at this moment—

“Swoosh!”

Abruptly, a man jumped up from the crowd and rushed to the auction stage.

Although the Guru Sword had been taken away, this person’s act still attracted the attention of all the people present.

Upon taking a closer look, the person who burst onto the auction stage was a young man about 30.

“Excuse me, may I have a word with you?”

Before the middle-aged manager’s face darkened, the young man quickly bowed and apologized. Seeing that the middle-aged manager’s face softened a little, the young man climbed to the auction stage and said, “I have news about the Heaven Treasure. I’d like to ask the auction agency to tell the senior who auctioned these precious swords that I want to exchange this news for one of his swords. Just one fifth-class sword will do!”

Hearing his request, the middle-aged manager curled his lips in boredom.

He was expecting something dramatic and surprising, but it turned out to be like this.

Under the stage, all the people present who had been distracted and halted their pace laughed.

“The average price of a fifth-class sword is 1.8 million. You want him to pay 1.8 million for a piece of news you got?”

“That’s also what I want to ask. And the news is not likely to be kept secret. The information you hold will soon spread. So, how can it be worth such a big sum?”

“Are you out of your mind? How dare you make that request? Aren’t you afraid of being interrogated by other experts after you step out of the Chic Cloud Pavilion?”

“The one who auctioned off the Guru Sword must be a guru, or even a super expert stronger than that. If he really wants to know something about the Heaven Treasure, he can get it without much effort. If he comes to you, won’t you say it?”

Everyone started mocking him.

In the face of everyone’s doubts, the young man said, “To tell the truth, I don’t know the exact location. I just found a piece of parchment in an antique, which recorded the whereabouts of the 17th Heaven Treasure. Although I have no idea of the specific location, I know the rough direction.”

Speaking of this, the young man blushed, turned to everyone, and added, “Please don’t question me, because I really don’t know much, and I can’t verify whether the information is true or not. The reason that I stand up to offer this deal is that I want to see if this expert has the guts to gamble.”

“Hey, my friend.”

Qian Xiao, who was in the first row, suddenly came forward with a smile and remarked, “Since you’ve gone this far, why don’t you tell us the rough area so that we won’t force it out of you? Anyway, you don’t know the specific location. Tell us the general location and it won’t hurt your deal with that guru. Isn’t that perfect?”

“Yeah, Mr. Qian is right. Tell us the rough location, and we will no longer pester you.”

“Get it out. As you don’t even know whether it’s real or fake, what’s there to hide?”

“Just tell us. Don’t waste our time!”

At this, the young man gave a hollow laugh and said, “Well, that place is in Norway. That’s all I can say.”

Norway?

It was abroad!

Everyone frowned.

Who didn’t want a Heaven Treasure?

Indeed, they expected to try their luck after knowing the approximate range. Of course, there were also some people who wanted to know the more precise location from the young man by force.

But now, having heard that the Heaven Treasure was abroad, everyone found it difficult to deal with!

Fang Qiu, who had just suppressed his astonishment and exultation, had an idea after hearing the young man’s words.

He was going abroad to attend the medical conference.

And that medical conference would be held right in Switzerland.

Switzerland was pretty close to Norway.

He could totally visit Norway by the way!

“Sorry to trouble you.”

On the auction stage, the young man bowed to the middle-aged manager.

“Well…”

The middle-aged manager was perturbed.

He didn’t know what to do.

It was not easy to find the seller for the auction now. Moreover, there were so many people at the venue. If he really started to look for the seller, wouldn’t he be disclosing the seller’s identity?

“That’s right. Hurry up and pass on the message.”

“Think it as a favor for him.”

Everyone started encouraging the deal, hoping to take the opportunity to find out who the person that entrusted the Chic Cloud Pavilion to auction off the Guru Sword was.

After all, everyone was eager to know what kind of person the seller of the Guru Sword was!

Well, how could the middle-aged manager not know what these people were thinking?

Now, he was even in a bigger dilemma.

And he was completely dumbfounded.

However, just as the young man made the request, the crowd around him was urging, and the people of the auction agency could not think of a way out of this—

“Okay!”

Suddenly, a voice came from the air!

This voice threw everyone into a daze.

Because this voice seemed to have fallen from the sky, and the source of it couldn’t be traced at all!
