The auction hall was bustling with activity, and the price had now reached 27 million. People on the second and third floors also began to make moves.

Su Ran's eyes darkened slightly. The auction price finally stopped rising after reaching 65 million. Just as the auctioneer was about to strike the third gavel, Su Ran picked up the auctioneer and spoke slowly.

"Seventy million."

Su Ran immediately added five million, and the place fell silent for a moment. Song Shiyan also cast a scrutinizing glance at her, trying to see Su Ran's expression.

Although Su Ran raised the price by five million, the auction house was not short of wealthy people. Then someone shouted seventy-one million, but Su Ran did not raise the price wildly, only adding five hundred thousand.

Then others continued to raise the price, which reached 73 million. Su Ran then raised it to 75 million, and then raised it another 2 million.

The others began to whisper among themselves, trying to guess what the girl who made the bid was thinking. Suddenly, a female voice was heard, "Hey... if this thing is too expensive, I won't buy it."

After hearing a woman's voice, the atmosphere became more relaxed again. After all, some people were just raising their bids because they thought the item was interesting, while others were determined to get it, and so they continued to raise their bids.

The price was approaching 80 million, and everyone waited for Su Ran's private room to raise the price. After a long wait, a hesitant voice was heard, "Add 500,000."

As soon as Su Ran finished speaking, someone else immediately took over. This went back and forth until Su Ran raised the price for the last time, and another person immediately raised it. Finally, after the auctioneer gave the final three hammer blows, there was no more talk from Su Ran.

"Congratulations to the gentleman on acquiring the two sculptures for 130 million."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, applause rang out in the hall. After all, this was the first item to reach 100 million. Su Ran smiled slightly; the other party was a shrewd person.

She recognized the accent, which is why she came out to raise the price. After all, the shrine had been burned down earlier, and the locals were still holding a grudge against her. Although they didn't show themselves, it would be strange if they didn't try to compete with her based on her Chinese accent.

Thinking that the other party spent over a hundred million US dollars to buy two counterfeit goods, I wonder if they will be so angry that they will die? Su Ran's expression was relaxed and natural.

Song Shiyan, who was standing to the side, noticed the slight smile on his lips, but his view was immediately blocked by a man. Song Shiyan's face darkened, and he turned his head away.

As soon as another item was sold, the auction continued. The man who was bidding on the sixth item got impatient. He just wanted to make the Chinese people spend more money; he had no interest in buying this thing himself.

Knowing the rules of the auction, the man could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

I thought I could make the other party bleed a lot, but I didn't expect to be the clown and become a sucker. But one of these two bronze statues must be real.

Then they'll go and show off in front of the Chinese, saying they couldn't even protect their own things and had to give them away.

So when he thought of this, he finally calmed down.

The seventh item up for auction was a painting by a famous foreign artist, which sold for a high price of over 20 million. Then came the eighth item up for auction.

The eighth item up for auction was simple: a dress that had been worn by the former empress of the Eagle Kingdom. Su Ran had no intention of wanting it, and she didn't like wearing clothes that other people had worn.

However, just because Su Ran didn't want it doesn't mean no one else did. Some people have strange and unusual tastes, so the dress was eventually auctioned off to a lady for ten million.

Su Ran glanced at the woman who had been slapped away, looked her over a few times, and then looked away.

The auction is still ongoing.

The ninth item for auction was brought to the stage.

It was a box wrapped in black cloth. Su Ran looked up and waited for the auctioneer to introduce it. After the auctioneer saw the description on the card...

Although he was very professional, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times. After calming down, he smiled slightly at the guests.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the ninth item in our auction. Let me tell you about its origin. It was a friendly gift from a fisherman who lives by the sea."

Upon hearing the introduction, the others almost couldn't help but complain. How could a fisherman's stuff be on stage? But they were also well-mannered and looked at the auctioneer, waiting for his next words.

The auctioneer on the stage naturally felt the gazes of the audience and continued to explain, "It seems everyone is pondering the fisherman's identity. Indeed, this fisherman does have an identity."

"This item was also donated by Lancelot, the youngest son of the Williams family patriarch."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a coughing sound came from someone choking on water. Su Ran listened carefully and realized that the sound was coming from a private room on the third floor.

Su Ran smiled slightly, thinking that this must be the patriarch of the Williams family, and the father of Lancelot, the owner of the auction item on stage.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, then everyone looked towards a certain spot on the third floor. Everyone knew exactly what was going on, since the troublemaking nature of Chief Williams' youngest son was well-known.

The auctioneer then continued, drawing everyone's attention, "The owner of the item says it will be auctioned as is, without opening the box to see the contents. Bidding begins..."

The auctioneer glanced at the amount on the card and slowly announced, "Starting price... three million. Each bid must be at least ten thousand. Please begin the auction."

The starting price was set by the owner, and the bidding increments were at the discretion of the auction house. Su Ran felt that if this item hadn't been sent by Williams' youngest son, the auction house wouldn't have been so keen to accept it.

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. No one stepped forward to bid. Just as the auctioneer was about to say something, a deep male voice rang out, "Add ten thousand."

Upon hearing the voice, the auctioneer immediately said, "Three million one hundred thousand, is anyone else bidding?"

Hearing the voice coming from the third floor, the crowd roughly knew that the person in question might not be there, but the person's father should be. Some people, to give him face, started bidding up the price by tens of thousands of yuan at a time.

Su Ran sat in the chair, silently observing the boxes on the table. After a moment of silence, she nudged Su Qingjiu with her elbow and gestured a number with her hand.

Then the auctioneer's voice rang out, "Three million three hundred thousand, anyone want to raise the price?"

The crowd, who had been bidding in increments of ten thousand, suddenly heard someone raise the price by more than two hundred thousand. They all looked up at the third floor and saw that it was the same man from before. After that, everyone else stopped bidding.

The audience was buzzing with discussion about why the people on the third floor wanted to buy this blind box. Indeed, to everyone, this broken box was like opening a blind box.

After all, no one knew what was inside. If they hadn't known it belonged to the Williams family, no one would have been willing to pay extra for this piece of junk.

Su Ran's bid brought the entire auction to a standstill, followed by quiet discussions, mainly about whether she was trying to make her presence felt in front of the Williams family or simply enjoyed opening blind boxes.
