DouDou had barely finished speaking.
A calm voice clearly came from a VIP room.
"One million gold soul coins."
The entire auction hall fell into a deathly silence.
One million?
From 100,000 to 1 million?
What kind of price increase method is this?
After a brief pause, the crowd erupted like boiling oil being doused with cold water.
"Did I hear that right? One million?"
"Which private room was that sound coming from?"
"This...this is too extravagant!"
"They added nine hundred thousand directly!"
"Insane! Absolutely insane!"
Whispers turned into clamor, and countless eyes turned toward the direction of the private room from which the sound came, trying to see through the thick curtains.
DouDou on the auction stage froze for a moment with her professional smile, only to be replaced by an even greater surprise.
She never expected that this item would trigger such a direct and explosive event.
In a corner, Tang San still wore that smile, as if everything was under control.
Xiao Wu opened her mouth wide, looked at Tang San, then at the direction from which the voice came, her face full of disbelief.
"Brother, this..."
Tang San gently patted her hand.
"Just watch."
Inside the private room where Prince Kunte of the Barak Kingdom was located.
He paused slightly in the hand holding the wine glass, then chuckled softly.
"Hehe, interesting."
He took a sip of his drink.
"I wonder who this person is, so rich and powerful."
He thought to himself that he had already obtained the Bihua Spring he wanted most, but this "indirect suggestion" was a hot potato, even though it was good.
"Buying a sample and an order for 100 pieces for one million is a good deal."
"However, if I were to acquire such a powerful weapon, Emperor Xueye would likely have second thoughts."
"There's no need, no need to get involved in this mess."
He leaned back leisurely in his chair, looking like he was watching a good show.
In another private room.
Ning Rongrong jumped up from the soft sofa.
Her small mouth opened into an "O" shape, and her beautiful eyes were filled with shock.
"One million?!"
"Who is it?! Who's so rich?!"
She stomped her foot, her little face puffed up with anger.
"Damn it! I should have asked Dad for more money before we left!"
She had also been tempted by this "veiled criticism."
Small and exquisite, yet surprisingly powerful, and capable of being poisoned, it is simply the perfect concealed weapon for girls to defend themselves.
Especially those one hundred orders, which were enough for her to show off to her fellow sect members.
"Hmph, next time I go home, I'll definitely ask for more pocket money!"
She had no idea that the offer that left her speechless came from her father.
The atmosphere inside the private room of the Heavenly Dou Empire's army was much more somber.
Howard's facial muscles twitched, and a clear resentment flashed in his eyes.
One million gold soul coins.
This number weighed heavily on his mind like a boulder.
As the military commander of the Barak Kingdom, his annual military budget was only a few million.
It's not impossible for him to come up with a million dollars out of his own pocket, but it would definitely be a huge financial burden.
Moreover, the source of this money is difficult to explain.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his turbulent emotions, then turned his head to look in the direction of Li An, the auction house manager.
"Manager Li."
His voice was a little hoarse.
Ang Lee had been keeping a close eye on the activity in each private room, and immediately responded respectfully upon hearing the sound.
"Distinguished guest, what are your instructions?"
Howard asked in a deep voice.
Does your auction house accept payment in kind?
Ang Lee bowed slightly.
"Reporting to the Commander, the auction house does indeed have such a rule."
"However, the collateral can only be valued at 70% of its market value."
70%!
Howard's brow furrowed even more.
This means he would need to provide supplies worth at least 1.5 million gold soul coins to raise that 1 million.
Moreover, if the news of such a large amount of military supplies being mortgaged were to leak, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He looked again at the veiled criticism on the auction stage, his eyes filled with resentment and struggle.
Finally, he slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were ice-cold.
"No need."
He gave up on raising the price.
But he did not give up on this thing, or rather, the person behind it.
He turned to look at Zhang Chen beside him, his voice low and commanding.
"Zhang Chen".
Zhang Chen immediately straightened up.
"Your subordinate is here!"
Howard's gaze was sharp and cold, like that of a hawk.
"You know this place better than I do."
"Go and arrange manpower."
"I need to find out who's in that private room that was offered one million gold soul coins!"
His voice wasn't loud, but the chilling killing intent it contained sent a shiver down Zhang Chen's spine.
Zhang Chen sensed the undisguised coldness in the military leader's words.
He knew that the military commander was truly enraged and had the intention to kill him.
"Yes, Commander!"
Zhang Chen nodded intently and, without the slightest hesitation, turned and quickly left the private room.
On the auction stage, DouDou had recovered from her initial shock.
Her smile grew even brighter, and her voice rose a few decibels with excitement.
"One million gold soul coins!"
"This distinguished guest has offered one million gold soul coins!"
"Are there any higher prices?"
She looked around the room, her eyes filled with anticipation.
However, all that responded to her was silence.
"One million gold soul coins, for the first time!"
DouDou's voice echoed in the auction house.
"One million gold soul coins, for the second time!"
Still, no one made a bid.
All eyes were focused on that mysterious private room.
"One million gold soul coins, for the third time!"
DouDou's gavel fell heavily.
"Thump!"
"make a deal!"
"Congratulations to the guest from the VIP room for successfully bidding on this 'Hidden Insult' item for the astronomical price of one million Gold Soul Coins!"
"Someone will contact you shortly to discuss the follow-up matters!"
DouDou's voice was full of passion, trying to push the atmosphere to an even higher level.
"This was truly an exciting auction!"
"Thank you for participating, distinguished guests!"
at the same time.
The auction room is reserved for the auctioneer.
Ning Liu was sitting upright, watching everything in the auction hall.
The moment DouDou's gavel fell.
A mechanical and cold voice suddenly rang in his mind.
【bite!】
