Chapter 189 You’re doomed to lose!
"Miss Caroline, is it delicious?"
Gervis was a little stunned at first, but then he started to laugh. He stared at Caroline's pretty face and asked with a frivolous tone. He said that he had taken several sips from this cup. Although the world did not have strict requirements in this regard, it was still very rude for noble ladies.
But to Gervis' disappointment, Caroline did not answer his question, but just looked at Gervis calmly, and then placed the two Warcraft crystals in her hand, the house deed belonging to Kevin and 5 gold coins in front of Gervis.
"Caroline, you..."
Kevin became excited when he saw Caroline's actions. This was only the second auction. Although someone had already bid, there were still three chances left. As long as one of them failed to sell, Kevin would win. He couldn't understand why Caroline would give the bet to Gervis.
The most important thing is that if he loses the deed to the shop, he will not be able to explain to his father when he returns. Even if he is his biological son, he will not end up well.
"Go, you're doomed!"
Caroline didn't explain anything, just interrupted Kevin and stood up and walked towards the door.
"But……"
"I said go, stop embarrassing yourself here!"
Kevin wanted to argue, but Caroline suddenly raised her tone, glanced at Kevin, and immediately blocked Kevin's words.
"Take care, Miss Caroline. Take care, Brother Garbage. We'll have another chance later!"
As Gervis sent them away, six people including Carl walked out of the room one after another. Before leaving, Kevin glared at Gervis with a look that seemed to want to eat him alive.
Of course, in response to Kevin's look, Gervis looked at him with a smile and said goodbye to him politely.
After everyone left the private room, Gervis looked at the wine glass still on Caroline's seat and began to think.
Gervis didn't expect Caroline to be so straightforward. After tasting the wine, she directly gave the bet to him. What surprised Gervis even more was that Kevin didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Caroline. He was scolded like a little brother and was willing to give up the bet and leave.
Gervis had never met Caroline before, but today's incident was obviously aimed at him. Gervis didn't know whether the reason for targeting him this time was because of Kevin or something else, but based on Caroline's performance today, Gervis dared not underestimate it.
"Grevith, congratulations!"
The relationship between Gervis and Pat has been further improved after this bet, so Pat no longer politely added the title after his address. Pat looked at the things on the table in front of Gervis and felt jealous. He immediately congratulated Gervis.
"Haha, I have to thank you for your help, Pat. If you hadn't helped me send the wine to these guests for tasting, I wouldn't have been able to beat Kevin. Now, I'm treating you today, but we're out of wine. Let's drink some wine tonight!"
Gervis was of course extremely excited. Apart from the five gold coins, the title deed of the shop that Kevin took out alone was worth a lot of money. In the East District, where every inch of land was valuable, even a shop in a bad location would cost several hundred gold coins. As for shops with better locations, not only did you need money, but you also needed people of status to buy them.
Of course, with Gervis's identity, he could have no problem buying any store. His biggest problem was that he had no money. He originally planned to go to the South District with the thirty gold coins in his pocket to see if there was a suitable store, but he didn't expect that he now owned one in the East District.
"Haha, Baron Gervis, I'll treat you if I say so. Seeing Kevin, that pretty boy, being humiliated like that, makes me happier than if I had picked up 10 gold coins! Haha!"
…
"1 gold coin, 50 silver coins for the first time. Is there anyone who wants to bid? This is the last note. Gentlemen and ladies who want to bid should hurry up..."
"1 gold coin and 50 silver coins sold! Congratulations to the gentleman who got the note!"
While Gervis and Pat were laughing and having fun upstairs, the five slips of paper were auctioned off as props for Gervis' gambling tonight.
Even if Kevin and others had not left early, they could not have saved the defeat.
Because the five notes were auctioned for 1 gold coin and 10 silver coins, 90 silver coins, 1 gold coin and 15 silver coins, 1 gold coin and 25 silver coins, and 1 gold coin and 50 silver coins respectively, none of them failed to sell. Except for the second note which did not reach one gold coin, the price of the other notes exceeded the price of the first note.
The reason why the second note was priced so low was actually related to the rationality of the crowd. After the first note was auctioned off, some people regained a little rationality and began to doubt whether it was worth spending such a high price to buy a note.
Whether the three words on the note were really related to what they drank, it was bought away by someone amid everyone's hesitation. When the bidding for the note in the third chapter began, everyone felt worried again, because the purple-red wine in the empty cup was so tempting, so they started bidding again. As the number of notes decreased, the bidding became more intense.
The most interesting one is the last note. The winner of this note has never drunk the wine, but because the bidding before him was so fierce, their curiosity was aroused.
What if there is a secret? Otherwise, why are there so many people bidding, and the name of the wine is unknown.
Under the influence of this kind of thinking, the note in Chapter 5 was finally sold at a high price of 1 gold coin and 50 silver coins. No one could have imagined that five ordinary notes were sold at the incredible price of 5 gold coins and 90 silver coins under the manipulation of Gervis and the temptation of wine.
As the auction of the note below came to an end, the maids began to serve food to Gervis and the other man. Warcraft barbecue and exquisite specialties were brought to the table one by one.
"Gervis, you're welcome. Try this barbecue. Let me tell you, in addition to the auction, the Snowy Manor is also famous for making monster meat. Because the taste of snow rabbit is not good, they have thought of many ways to improve the taste of snow rabbit, and by the way, they have figured out how to cook other monster meat."
When the golden and fragrant monster meat was brought to the table, Pat couldn't wait to move. He raised his knife and fork and cut a big piece of the monster meat. While moving his hands, he urged Gervis to move faster.
In fact, without Pat's words, Gervis had already smelled the aroma emanating from the Warcraft barbecue. He raised his knife and fork without hesitation, cut a piece of the barbecue, put it on his plate, and began to eat it with relish.
…
"My lords, this is the money you received from the auction. The five slips of paper received a total of 5 gold coins and 90 silver coins. After deducting the 29 silver coins and 50 copper coins from the manor draw, there are a total of 5 gold coins, 60 silver coins and 50 copper coins. Please check!"
As Gervis and his companion were devouring the meal on the table, there was a knock on the door, and a maid walked in, holding an exquisite small tray in her hands, and on the tray was the proceeds from the auction of the five notes.
"Is the winner of the note still in the manor?"
Gervis didn't expect that the money from the auction would be sent to him. After all, Caroline's words were the most effective here. If she wanted to give a few gold coins to Kevin, she didn't need to discuss it with him and could just take it away.
However, Gervis certainly did not think the gold coins in front of him were too much. After checking the number, he put all the gold and silver coins into his purse without hesitation. Only 50 copper coins remained on the maid's tray untouched.
Thanks to the book friend "Bingfeng Dichen" for the reward!!!
