No one could understand what the collector and the cat were saying; it was like they were speaking in riddles.
However, they were already obsessed with the "Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade," and some people were so desperate that they wanted to snatch it back. "Sir, I'm willing to pay ten million for this blade to collect. Are you willing to sell it?"
Upon hearing this, someone immediately exclaimed, "This is the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade! You're offering ten million? Are you trying to fob me off? I'll offer thirty million!"
"You dare to say 30 million? I'll offer 50 million!"
"Two months ago at the Donghuang Auction House in G City, a bronze sword fetched a sky-high price of 60 million! The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade is a legendary treasure; if it were to be auctioned, it would definitely cause a sensation!"
Meanwhile, the collector looked at the crowd in bewilderment, stunned by the numbers they casually shouted out. He was just an ordinary worker, tens of millions... such a huge number was something he had never even dreamed of.
His hands were clasped tightly together, his expression shifting between joy and sorrow.
"Don't hesitate, I'll offer 55 million! You sell it now, and I'll transfer the money to you immediately!" someone said, seemingly noticing that he was being tempted.
The collector said nervously, "I've never seen so much money before..."
The bidder was immediately delighted. "Don't worry, this knife is only worth this price! Selling it now will only benefit you, not harm you! Otherwise, after today, you'll be bombarded with calls from individuals, media, and auction houses every day, driving you crazy."
The collector seemed startled by this statement and became quite alarmed.
The person making the bid kept encouraging him.
Cat was unhurried. She even had the mood to appreciate the words Mu Jin had just written. She wasn't worried at all that the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade she had reserved was about to be snatched away by someone else.
After much persuasion, the bidder finally managed to coax the collector into negotiating the price. Suddenly, the collector said, "This knife... it's very strange. Are you sure you want to buy it?"
The bidder seemed not to have taken his words to heart at all. He said, "Antiques all have their tempers, and they all need to be treated with respect! After they're sold, that's all my business, so don't worry."
The collector seemed unable to make a decision, but was led by the nose by the experienced buyer, who had now even brought over the transfer contract.
Just as a pen was being handed to the collector in preparation for signing,
The cat coughed deliberately.
The collector looked at the cat with a timid gaze, almost afraid to look at her. When he heard the bid, he subconsciously forgot his agreement with the cat.
Besides, he now knows that all the misfortunes in his family were caused by this knife. So, if he just sells the knife, wouldn't his family be fine? And he can also get a large sum of money!
That would be enough to cure his youngest son's illness, and they could buy the biggest house in the county town! They'd also have more money than they could ever spend in a lifetime!
Upon seeing the cat, the guilt that had been hiding in the corner suddenly resurfaced.
The person who made the bid seemed to realize that Maomao was after the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade. He said with a smile, "Miss Jiu, collecting is also about fate. I... I've already made a deal with someone else. I'm really sorry."
The cat didn't even look at him, just shook its head slightly and said to the collector, "Oh dear, I already said I could let you bid, but you went back on your word... It's alright if you go back on your word, this knife is an heirloom of your family, and the fact that the men in your family don't live past thirty is your business."
Even if you give this knife to someone else, it won't change anything. Didn't your ancestors try that? Hehe, actually, I have many ways to get this knife. You can sell it.”
The cat spoke as if it were playing around, but the Tibetan man's thin body suddenly trembled! He looked at the cat in disbelief, shocked that she even knew such a thing!
The buyer who was about to succeed also shuddered. Why did he suddenly feel that the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Blade, which he hadn't even gotten his hands on yet, was already starting to cool down?
The collector suddenly threw down his pen and said to the cat with absolute certainty, "I'll sell you the knife! But you have to help me solve my family's problem!"
The cat raised an eyebrow. "Okay!"
The collector was initially pleased, but quickly asked, "Then...the money..."
Cat waved her hand, "Think about it carefully. Now is not the time to talk about money. I have other things to do."
The collector breathed a sigh of relief; he did need to think carefully, otherwise he wouldn't be willing to make a bid.
"Sigh, all that effort for nothing, it all ended up with someone else." The buyer from before looked on with envy and jealousy.
"Who told you to get so agitated? Miss Renjiu had already reserved it, and you insisted on snatching it away. What, are you getting your comeuppance?"
A few jokes from onlookers quickly passed, and everyone was happy to witness the birth of a significant antique.
After this incident, it's time to get back to the main topic. However, Kang Minghui was greatly disappointed, and his face was already quite pale.
Based on the final identification results, the cat's accuracy rate was the highest!
Even if Kang Minghui was unhappy, he still had to announce at this point, "Jiu Maomao made a mistake once, and Kang Jiao and Young Master Song made two mistakes. Therefore, the next president of the Antique Dealers Association is Jiu Maomao."
After watching the excitement for a while, the people immediately applauded, and couldn't help but sigh that the change of the Chamber of Commerce president tonight was really quite dramatic! They originally thought that Kang Jiao would become the president without a doubt, but they didn't expect Jiu Maomao to suddenly appear out of nowhere.
Even Young Master Song was there to accompany them.
"Wait a minute," the cat suddenly said.
This sound successfully drew everyone's attention to her.
Kang Jiao asked, "What's wrong? President Jiu, are you trying to refuse?"
