After bidding on more than a dozen items, Celine Dion ran onto the stage and sang a moving rendition of "My Heart Will Go On".

Titanic was incredibly popular.

Even after more than a year, many people at the scene were still very excited when this melody played.

Although Cao Kun didn't show much emotion, he still thought Celine Dion sang quite well.

Her voice, like Leonardo DiCaprio's good looks, is a gift from God.

After the music ended, the auction continued.

This time, what was presented was actually an eight-sided sword from the Han Dynasty.

Immediately, everyone's eyes lit up.

Han swords are extremely rare.

Because they were made of iron, most of them had decayed and become broken swords.

The most complete one in existence to date is the Leiju Sword, which was stolen by Country Y from Country D and is now preserved in Country Y's museum.

Its valuation, even in 1999, was at least tens of millions of dollars.

Note that it is the minimum.

The Han sword that is being brought out now, although not as well preserved as the Leiju sword, is not in too bad condition.

Although it is somewhat damaged, it is still a complete sword shape.

Those in the know present had their eyes gleaming, eager to make a move.

This is a genuine, rare antique.

The host introduced, "This is an eight-sided sword donated by Sir Begg, from the Han Dynasty of China."

The Dragon Kingdom is known for its long history, and the Han Dynasty is a dynasty they are particularly proud of.

This sword embodies the spirit of countless people from the Dragon Kingdom and holds extraordinary significance.

"The starting bid is $1. You can place your bids now."

"Dollar."

"Dollar."

"Dollar."

Immediately, someone made a bid, and it was tens of thousands of US dollars.

It was originally intended for charity, reputation building, and tax avoidance.

Buying anything is the same as buying.

The opportunity to buy truly valuable antiques in such an occasion is even more rare.

$100,000.

$500,000.

The price kept rising, and in the blink of an eye, it reached $500,000.

"One million US dollars."

Leonardo DiCaprio suddenly raised his paddle, increasing the price to seven figures.

At this point, many people quietly put down their cards.

"Two million US dollars."

Some people still refused to give up and competed with Leonardo DiCaprio in the auction.

"$8 million."

After Leonardo DiCaprio offered $8 million, no one else made a bid.

Although such antiques are rare, 8 million is too expensive.

This is what charity galas are all about; everyone has ulterior motives. If it were a formal auction, no one would bid such a high price.

The host encouraged everyone to continue bidding, but no one paid any attention.

Just as he was about to announce the deal, Cao Kun raised his paddle: "10 million US dollars."

Immediately, many eyes turned to Cao Kun.

I want to see which sucker it is.

Upon seeing Cao Kun's skin color, they understood.

Little Li also turned his head to look over.

Upon seeing that it was Cao Kun making the bid, his eyes flickered a few times before he stopped raising his paddle.

And so, Cao Kun acquired the Han sword for $10 million.

Sophia said, "By the way, you are from China, no wonder you like things from China."

Next time, I'll buy more and give them to you.

Cao Kun: "I don't like everything that comes from China."

Sophia: "Is there anything different about this sword?"

Cao Kun: "It's nothing."

Cao Kun said that, but since he spent money to buy it, this sword must have something special about it.

The sword was indeed rusting badly, but Cao Kun could still sense the malevolent and sinister aura emanating from it from this distance.

This kind of malevolent energy can only be formed after a sufficient number of lives have been taken.

Ordinary people could buy this kind of sword and use it as a talisman to ward off evil spirits and protect their homes.

Ordinary kids would never dare to approach; they would run as far away as possible.

Even the fiercest ghosts would be afraid of it.

Of course, if one's birth chart is not strong enough, or if the sword is not placed in a proper location, the evil energy on it can also harm people.

"Mr. Cao, you can go to the back office to complete the transaction now," a staff member said politely as he approached Cao Kun.

Cao Kun followed him backstage and saw the eight-sided Han sword from before in a box.

The closer they got, the stronger the murderous aura Cao Kun sensed.

Now he was certain that this sword had not only been on many battlefields and claimed many lives, but it was also likely buried in a mass grave and absorbed a large amount of yin energy.

This sword was even better than he had anticipated.

Moreover, once it falls into his hands, its power will be further enhanced, transforming it into an extremely powerful magical artifact.

That 10 million was well worth it.

"Mr. Cao, if there are no issues with the item, you can begin the transaction. We can accept cash, credit card, or check..."

When Cao Kun wrote out a check for 11 million, the sword finally belonged to him.

In response, the other party provided him with professional invoices and certificates.

Prove the legitimacy of this sword.

Cao Kun sneered inwardly.

This sword was either stolen from the Dragon Kingdom or robbed.

These guys are even trying to prove its legitimacy; it sounds so ridiculous.

If he hadn't yet broken ties with the US government, he would have absorbed all those guys' souls into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Although it's called a charity auction, a 10% handling fee is still charged.

This handling fee is charged separately by the organizer and is not included in the auction amount.

Cao Kun didn't bother to argue, took the box, left the backstage area, and returned to his seat.

At that moment, a diamond necklace was being auctioned.

Sophia said, "Isn't this necklace nice?"

Cao Kun: "You want me to buy it for you?"

Sofia: "This is what I donated. Why are you buying it back? But if you want to buy it for me, I have no objection."

Cao Kun: "I did not take drugs."

Sofia sighed: "I knew it. It was impossible for me to spend a single cent on you."

Cao Kun: "It's good that you know."

Ultimately, Sofia's necklace was auctioned off for over $30,000.

Items continued to be brought up for auction, and a singer performed at one point.

However, Cao Kun felt that she was far inferior to Celine Dion.

After another item was sold, two staff members carefully carried up an item covered with a white sheet, which was more than half a person tall.

Upon seeing this item, Cao Kun couldn't help but frown.

Even though the item was covered with a white cloth, he could still sense a strong yin energy emanating from it.

"What's going on at this auction? They actually put up two items that have a strong eerie aura."

Cao Kun muttered to himself.

At this point, the host removed the white cloth covering the item, revealing an antique mirror.

Immediately, Cao Kun and the others' eyes lit up.

However, others recognized the rarity of this antique.

Cao Kun, however, had other reasons.

After the white cloth was torn off, Cao Kun sensed that the mirror not only had a yin energy, but also an evil energy.

This mirror is definitely an ominous object.

If an ordinary person buys it, something bad will definitely happen.

But if it falls into his hands, it could be used for other purposes.
