Adding to the 200,000 taels from the sapphire he just auctioned, he now has around 600,000 taels in cash. Of course, there's also the Red Dragon's treasure, which is worth around 2 million taels. If needed, he can also put some of it up for auction.

Of course, the working capital is still only 600,000 taels.

Zuan was a bit annoyed. He thought he was pretty rich, but after coming here today, he realized that his little bit of money was not enough to cover his expenses at all.

At this point, bids quickly began to be placed below:

"Five hundred and one thousand taels!"

"Fifty-two!"

...

"This guest has offered 550,000 taels. Is there any more? 550,000 taels at a time..." The beautiful host was a little anxious, after all, the cold reception this time was somewhat unexpected.

Unfortunately, no one responded to her. Everyone was quite cautious when bidding at first, because this throwing knife was both useful and useless, and several hundred thousand taels of silver was not a small amount, so everyone naturally had to consider it carefully.

Moreover, everyone has heard that there's an exceptional item up for grabs today, and if you spend your money on it now, you'll be in trouble later.

Zuan was somewhat surprised by this situation. After thinking for a moment, he directly bid 600,000 taels, so as not to keep raising the price and end up driving it up. So it was better to raise the price from the beginning and make others give up the competition.

As expected, upon hearing his offer, the others hesitated and did not make any further bids.

This throwing knife is indeed useless, and this number 333 seems to be a ruthless person. They just witnessed Sun Ji's miserable state, so there's no need to offend him here.

The beautiful host's eyes lit up, her gaze gleaming as she looked in the direction of Zu'an: "VIP number 333 has bid 600,000, are there any more bids?"

She secretly thought that although this person was wearing a mask, he was tall and upright, and exuded a dashing and confident aura. He was much more charming than the other pot-bellied VIPs.

Facing the beautiful host's affectionate gaze, Zu An smiled slightly at her, but didn't take it to heart. He already knew that it was too easy for such a woman to act. He wasn't some innocent young boy, so how could he be tricked by these high-class sea queens?

"Six hundred thousand twice, six hundred thousand three..." The beautiful host was smiling at Zu'an when a voice suddenly interrupted:

"Six hundred and fifty thousand taels!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Sun Ji standing at the window, and immediately understood what was going on.

He had clearly lost face earlier and wanted to take this opportunity to get his revenge.

Zu An frowned and said in a deep voice, "Six hundred and sixty thousand taels."

"Seven hundred thousand taels!" Seeing Zu An's frustrated look, Sun Ji felt a surge of secret pleasure, thinking, "Let's see you mess with me!"

"Seven hundred and one thousand," Zuan added expressionlessly.

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand!" Sun Ji thought to himself, "He really wants this Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife. How can I vent my anger if I don't take the opportunity to raise the price for him?"

He had already decided to give up after the other party made another offer, since it was no small amount.

Just imagining how furious the other party will be because they spent an extra 200,000 taels makes me happy.

At this moment, Zu An laughed and said, "Since Young Master Sun likes this thing so much, then I will do you a favor and give it to you."

Sun Ji: "???"

We agreed that things wouldn't happen more than three times, and you haven't even made your third offer yet!

There should be more tonight.
