The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

Chapter 185 Auction (5)

He raised the price by another 100,000 yuan in one go.

In an instant, pairs of eyes shifted their focus to the direction of the young man who spoke.

Their eyes were filled with shock and even more curiosity. However, when they saw the area where the boy was and his extremely conspicuous black hair, many of their gazes turned to understanding, and they kept watching the two bidders.

In the focal position, the middle-aged man who had spoken earlier had a serious expression. Even after he had spoken, Jiang Liujing still bid loudly, which was tantamount to a direct provocation.

If he loses the auction, how can he face the young master?

Unlike the middle-aged man, the smile on the auctioneer's face instantly became genuine.

"Six hundred thousand per time." He said to the audience, but his eyes were completely on the middle-aged man.

Sure enough, before he even asked if he needed to raise the price, the middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Seven hundred thousand."

"Seventy-one." Jiang Liujing didn't even blink.

"Eight hundred thousand."

"eighty-one."

“…” The middle-aged man couldn’t hold it in any longer.

He looked at Jiang Liujing in confusion, not understanding where this seemingly young kid got the power to use such a large amount of money. Didn't his family members care about him?

Although Jiang Liujing only raised the price by 100,000 the first time, and he only added 10,000 more afterwards, his calm demeanor made it seem as if he still had plenty of energy left.

The middle-aged man couldn't tell for a moment whether he really wanted the elf or was simply trying to raise the price to cheat him.

But the family's dignity was immeasurable. He gritted his teeth and wanted to continue making an offer, but he heard a faint voice in his ear: "Forget it."

The middle-aged man turned his head suddenly and asked in surprise: "Master?"

How could such words come out of his mouth? From this man who always had a hand in everything and always wanted everything he wanted?

The young master's face was shrouded in shadow and unclear, making it difficult to see his expression at the moment. However, the voice that came out was very calm, and there was no anger at having his favored things intercepted halfway.

He said, "Although the elves are precious, they are not the purpose of our trip. If he wants them, just give them to him."

He paused again, his tone carrying a hint of something else. "Besides, the person sitting next to him is Gu Lian. With the son of the richest man accompanying him, there's no way you can outbid him."

"But..." He had already said it. The middle-aged man gritted his teeth.

"Listen to me." The young master's voice was dignified without anger, and he did not allow any arguments. "Unless you want to bring further shame to the family."

If they gave up earlier, they could still say that they were giving the Gu family face. But if they tried their best and failed to grab it, they would become the biggest joke in the eyes of others.

Middle-aged men can naturally understand this truth.

"Eight hundred and ten thousand once... eight hundred and ten thousand twice... eight hundred and ten thousand three times! Congratulations, you've won this Pokémon for eight hundred and ten thousand! After the auction, a staff member will guide you to the backstage warehouse to collect it."

Amid the auctioneer's passionate and generous voice, Jiang Liujing nodded casually and sat back.

He didn't even look at the elf the whole time, yet he offered a high price. The other customers couldn't help whispering to each other as they looked at him, suspecting that he was deliberately targeting the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was bathed in the gazes of others, with a gloomy face and remained silent. No matter how angry he was, he could only swallow his anger helplessly.

The young master beside him did not change his expression, but his eyes fell to the other side intentionally or unintentionally.

The middle-aged man couldn't recognize her, but he recognized her at a glance.

Even though he had never met the boy, and only knew his physical features from other people's descriptions, Hagadi thought it couldn't be anyone else.

It is a unique rose blooming in this world, so beautiful and dazzling that it is out of tune with everyone else. It must be loved and admired, and all glory must be used to pave the way for its crown.

But no one knows——

Roses are born with heads that are meant to be beheaded.

Hagadi closed his eyes quietly.

the other side.

As soon as Jiang Liujing sat down, he was blocked by several people next to him.

Mo Ya and the others immediately left their seats, and several heads crowded in front of Jiang Liujing, all with the same shocked expression when they looked up.

Liu An's eyes widened in disbelief: "You are so rich?"

If he had known that Brother Fu was right beside him, he wouldn't have made a ten-gold-coin bet with Cassian. He could have just gone straight to Jiang Liujing and curried favor with him.

Mo Ya, with a dreamy look on his face, counted on his fingers: "One, two, three, four, five... Five zeros! Five zeros! Oh my god, I never dreamed that I would have 810,000 gold coins!"

Wen Xun pushed the two impoverished people who had never seen the world away and said speechlessly, "Can you have a little more ambition?"

As he said this, he looked at Jiang Liujing with a complicated look.

Wen Xun had always considered himself wealthy, but he wouldn't spend such a large sum of money casually. He had thought he'd gotten to know Jiang Liujing after seven years of roommateship, but now it seemed his roommate still had many secrets.

"Do you need me to pay for you?" Gu Lian was very patient. He waited until the excited people had finished speaking and Jiang Liujing had calmed down before he spoke.

Although the final price was higher than he expected, it was not a big problem.

Jiang Liujing glanced at him and inexplicably saw a hint of eagerness in his smile. He felt that beneath Gu Lian's elegant appearance, there was a big-tailed fox. There was really no need to owe him a favor for such a small matter.

"No. I have my own money."

He was no longer the child who worried about five thousand gold coins. As long as Ernst was not destroyed, there would be a steady flow of gold coins into his account.

Jiang Liujing has a low desire for consumption and has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years.

The mineral resources that were enough to support a large family were completely owned by him for the past seven years. The two alchemy cards owned by Chi and Xing Yue were both used to withdraw money from his account.

"Okay." Gu Lian didn't force it, but just glanced at Jiang Liujing twice more. He vaguely understood why Jiang Liujing was always so disrespectful in front of him.

For him, being a sponsor is just icing on the cake, not a life-saving help.

If you have one, that’s great; if you don’t, there are other ways.

I still underestimated him. Gu Lian laughed grimly.

Jiang Liujing gave him a puzzled look, not understanding what he was laughing at. Gu Lian changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, do you know who was bidding against you just now?"

Jiang Liujing shook his head as a matter of course.

"It's Hagadi Orsini, the former number one you pushed down."

Gu Lian looked at Jiang Liujing meaningfully.

"He's always loved collecting all sorts of strange and bizarre things, especially alchemical tools and rare creatures. Countless people are waiting for you two to meet, but they probably didn't expect it to be in this place."
