Chapter 392
“Welcome to Astral Auction House. Without further ado, let’s begin the auction.
“The first item today is a fine jade bracelet. The starting price is one million, and each bid increment must not be less than 100,000.”
“Now…
“Let the bidding begin!”
When the beautiful host finished speaking, scattered voices were heard below.
“1.1 million.”
“1.2 million.”
“1.3…”
The item was of average value, so there were fewer people bidding for it.
Andrius and Luna were not interested in it at all, thus they closed their eyes and waited for the final item, the wild king ginseng.
Time passed slowly.
An hour later, the highly anticipated wild king ginseng was presented on stage.
“Ladies and gentlemen…” The beautiful host smiled and looked around, saying, “Next up for auction is an 80–year–old wild king ginseng. I won’t go into the medicinal effects since everyone present is
knowledgeable.
“The starting price is 50 million, with each bid increment to be no less than one million. Let the bidding begin!”
With her words, the venue fell into a brief silence.
Everyone was waiting. They all knew that in an auction house like this, being the first to step forward did not guarantee success.
Money spoke volumes!
Just then, a powerful voice rang out.
“I bid 60 million!”
As soon as the person spoke, the auction hall erupted like a bursting dam, and the atmosphere became heated.
“Aren’t you embarrassed just calling for 60 million? I bid 70 million!”
“Tsk… You might be able to smell an 80–year–old wild king ginseng for 70 million, but buying it will be impossible. I bid 80 million!”
“80 million isn’t much. I bid 90 million!”
“90 million is chump change. I bid 100 million!”
The bidding war was extremely intense. In just a few dozen seconds, the price had doubled.
However, that was not the end, The bidding continued to escalate.
“150 million!” a domineering voice resounded throughout the whole venue.
Stephen and the people in his room immediately looked at Andrius, wanting to see who was bold enough to oppose them.
“It’s him!” Jace recognized Andrius at a glance. A fierce light flashed in his eyes as he shouted, “Master, he was the one who hit me earlier!”
