Chapter 949 I’ll Pay Two Billion!

“Pitter-patter…” Just when everyone was extremely shocked by John Doe when he took out eight Guru Swords, footsteps were heard from the backstage area of the auction stage.

People turned to look.

A staff member of Chic Cloud Pavilion walked out, carrying a Sword Testing Stone with a tray.

“This is our Chic Cloud Pavilion’s Sword Testing Stone,” On the auction stage, the auctioneer said with a smile. Then, he pointed to an old man who had just come out from backstage and said, “This is the appraiser of Chic Cloud Pavilion.”

With the introduction of the auctioneer, the appraiser walked forward, followed by the staff member who carried the Sword Testing Stone. Under everyone’s gaze, the two walked into Fang Qiu’s private room.

In front of everyone, they began to test the swords with the Sword Testing Stone.

Everyone present held their breath.

The first one was Guru Sword.

The second one was also Guru Sword.

The third one was still Guru Sword!

Because the private room was transparent, everyone present could clearly see the test result of the Sword Testing Stone. The most important thing was that every time a sword was tested, the appraiser would raise the sword and the Sword Testing Stone together to show the final result to everyone.

The eight swords were all Guru Swords!

While witnessing this result, everyone on the scene couldn’t help exclaiming.

The shock brought by the eight Guru Swords gradually dissipated. In the face of so many Guru Swords, they could only be full of admiration.

“Sure enough, they are all Guru Swords.”

“John Doe is so awesome. He actually took out eight Guru Swords at one time.”

“I don’t know if there are any more. I think the eight Guru Swords don’t seem to be the maximum, considering John Doe’s mysterious background. Maybe there are more.”

“The verification is over.”

The auctioneer’s words drew everyone’s attention to the auction stage again. He nodded respectfully to John Doe, and said, “Now it can be proved that Mr. John Doe’s eight Guru Swords are real. I believe that all the guests present have no more doubts. Then let’s continue the auction!”

“In the last bid, Mr. John Doe made a bid of seven Guru Swords!”

“Is there anyone offering a higher price?”

The auctioneer looked up at the people of the Four Great Families in the VIP private room on the second floor.

Obviously, he knew it well.

The other major forces and the Gong family in Wulin all gave up now. The only ones that could compete with John Doe were the Four Great Families.

However, people didn’t know if the Four Great Families would continue to compete after John Doe deliberately showed his Guru Sword.

Not only the auctioneers but also all the people present thought so, especially the Four Great Families.

When the people of Four Great Families saw that John Doe had taken out eight Guru Swords, they knew that he obviously tried to suppress them at the base price of 1.6 billion!

However, were the Four Great Families short of money?

Obviously not!

“1.6 billion!”

Just when everyone was waiting to see which family would continue to bid against John Doe, a calm voice suddenly sounded, which amazed all the people present.

“The Xi family bids 1.6 billion!”

On the auction stage, the auctioneer shouted with excitement.

Hearing that, all the people present exclaimed.

“What the f*ck. 1.6 billion?”

“The Xi family makes a move first to gain the advantage!”

“When the Xi family saw that John Doe had eight Guru Swords and directly offered 1.6 billion, were they afraid that they would be suppressed by John Doe’s eight Guru Swords so they took the initiative or simply wanted to continue to compete?”

Undoubtedly, this price caused everyone to exclaim.

No one had imagined the price of the Ambergris Grass’s information to be so high, which was quite unexpected.

Although before the auction began, everyone had expected that this unprecedented auction would be particularly intense.

But they never thought that it could be so intense to such an extent.

The auction item was not a Heaven Treasure.

They couldn’t get a Heaven Treasure after spending some money. On the contrary, it was only information about the location of the Heaven Treasure. Even if they bought this information, it was hard to say whether they could acquire the Heaven Treasure.

Under such circumstances, how could anyone be willing to spend so much money to buy a piece of information?

“1.61 billion!” While everyone was shocked, Qian Xiao spoke again.

This time, his face darkened a little. Although the Qian Family was a top-class family in the capital and was also wealthy, it didn’t mean that they could squander at will. After all, to maintain such a big family business, they needed a considerable amount of money.

In this case, the Qian family could not take out much working capital. 1.6 billion was almost reaching the limit!

“1.65 billion!”

The Xi family continued to bid.

“1.68 billion!”

Diwu Qian also made a bid. This was the second time she bid. She always remembered what her father had said to her—No matter how much it cost, she must get the Ambergris Grass!

When the people of the Xi family heard Diwu Qian’s bid, they also paused for a moment as if they were considering whether to continue bidding or not.

“Nine Guru Swords!” But before the people of the Xi family could say anything, Fang Qiu bid again.

As soon as he said that, everyone was speechless.

“There’s more?”

“What the f*ck? Does he have more?”

“Damn, there were only eight swords just now. Why are there nine now?”

In the lobby on the first floor, everyone was dumbfounded by John Doe’s bid again.

While they were shocked, everyone turned to look at the people of the Four Great Families.

Nine swords meant 1.8 billion. Would the Four Great Families still continue to make a bid?

Diwu Qian frowned and a wry smile appeared on her face.

Qian Xiao also shook his head with annoyance and glanced at Zhan Lin who was next to him, only to see that Zhan Lin was also smiling wryly.

“1.9 billion!”

People of the Xi family cast a glance at Fang Qiu with a grim face and made a bid in a low voice.

Although they were not short of money, the Xi family only brought 2 billion with them. After all, no one expected that a piece of information could be sold at such a high price.

1.9 billion was already close to the bottom line. The Xi family was very worried that John Doe would add more money and raise the price to 2 billion!

At that time, there would be nothing left for them to do.

Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows.

“I’ll bid 2 billion!”

Just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded.

The voice came from the auction hall on the first floor!

Even the auctioneer standing on the auction stage was shocked by the bid, not to mention the people on the scene.

Meanwhile, a number suddenly popped up on the screen of the auction stage.

“No. 263 bids 2 billion.”

Following the auctioneer’s voice, all the people present, including the people in the VIP private rooms on the second floor, turned their heads and looked at seat No. 263.

As they took a closer look, the man sitting in seat No. 263 was a middle-aged man in his forties.

This man looked very ordinary and there was nothing special about him. The only thing setting him apart from others was that he was sitting on the auction chair with a sword.

It was an ordinary-looking cyan long sword.

Everyone was confused as they saw him.

“Who is this man?”

“What the f*ck. Is there such a rich man hiding in the auction hall?”

“Is he here to make trouble? Why doesn’t he have a private room since he could afford such a high price?”

“He offered 2 billion in his first bid. I’m impressed.”

The people of the major forces also frowned.

Indeed, they never met this middle-aged man before.

They also never heard of such a person in Jianghu.

People of all the top forces were lost in thought.

After a long while, everyone seemed to have thought of the same thing at the same time, and the way they looked at the middle-aged man changed in an instant.

“Could it be…”

Diwu Qian could not conceal the shock in her eyes.

“Could it be people from that place?”

Yun Yangzi also frowned and looked at the middle-aged man in shock.

“It’s the Sword Sect?”

The face of the Xi family’s leader also changed.

They thought about it for a long while.

The only force in Wulin which had this kind of foundation was the Sword Sect!

Sword Sect was a huge force in Wulin!

If the four prominent families were compared to the forces on the surface of Wulin, then the Sword Pavilion was a hidden force!

The Sword Sect existed for a very long time, and they had a good relationship with the government. No one in Wulin dared to go against the government for hundreds of years because of the suppression of the Sword Sect!

Now, it seemed that only the Sword Sect have the courage and ability to compete with Four Great Families.

However, the Sword Sect didn’t show up for a very long time, so people didn’t expect that it would actually make an appearance this time.

Hearing his bid, Fang Qiu couldn’t help frowning while feeling confused.

In fact, he only had ten Guru Swords in total, which was worth 2 billion.

However, he didn’t only bring the Guru Swords but also had cash!

With this thought in mind, Fang Qiu was about to make another bid.

However, he saw that the middle-aged man who bid 2 billion turned around and smiled at him.

When he met the middle-aged man’s eyes, Fang Qiu saw an inexplicable emotion in his eyes as if he wanted to say something and beg him.

This made Fang Qiu hesitate in an instant.

The meaning of his gaze was obviously begging, and he did not seem to have any hostility. He even put on a very friendly look. Obviously, he intended to do something.

At the thought of this, Fang Qiu immediately gave up the idea of continuing to bid and chose to wait and see.

He wanted to see what the middle-aged man was going to do.

He thought to himself, “If he dares to mess with me, he can’t blame me for being ruthless!”

With the offer of the middle-aged man, everyone turned to look at John Doe, waiting with great expectation to see if there were any more Guru Sword.

“I have no more sword.” Seeing everyone’s expectant eyes, Fang Qiu could only spread out his hands to indicate that he gave up.

Hearing that, everyone froze at first, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that there were only nine of them in total!

If he took out one more sword, they were afraid that it would astound them so much that they might have a heart attack.

Of course, while people were relieved, they understood that since John Doe had spread his hands, it meant that he would not make another bid!

The people of the Xi family, who had brought 2 billion in total, chose to give up helplessly when they realized that the bidder was from the Sword Sect. Even if they wanted to raise the price, they didn’t have more money to do that.

The middle-aged man won the information about the location of the Heaven Treasure which ranked eighth at the price of 2 billion.
