Chapter 394 - The Auction of the Foreign Fragment
Chapter 394: The Auction of the Foreign Fragment
“Traitor, how dare you offend the Master Heavenly Emperor’s power? When he returns, you’ll be taken to the Immortal Slashing Table!”
With that sentence alone, Ye Chen was sure that the brat, the Night Demon, was still alive because the latter was the only one in the Immortal World who would call him the Master Heavenly Emperor. The rest called him ‘Your Majesty’ or the Heavenly Emperor.
Even Wushuang called him ‘Master’.
That was the reason why Ye Chen called him a brat.
The people looked dumbstruck as soon as the auctioneer was done speaking. They thought they heard it wrong.
“Master Heavenly Emperor? Immortal Slashing Table?”
“Look how boastful that was, I almost bought it.”
“Did that really come from a translation machine? Are you sure you guys didn’t make this up? Did you guys make up this story to deceive us?”
Hysterical laughter came out of the crowd. Clearly, nobody believed what the auctioneer said. They thought it was something the auction house made up to hype up the item.
“So, what’s the second sentence?” someone asked as sarcasm filled his face.
The auctioneer could not help but blush. He hesitated and said, “The second sentence is, ‘I, Master Night Demon, had an affair on the Divine Fiend Mountain, slept in the Peach Garden, and have kissed fairies before…”
The crowd laughed out loud before he was done speaking.
“Are you sure that really came from a translation machine? Are you sure it wasn’t recorded by a patient at a mental hospital during his body checkup?”
“This is hilarious. I’m sure you guys made this up to ease the atmosphere! I’m sure that’s the case. Congratulations, you guys made me laugh!”
Apart from them, even Dai Shiyu, who was sitting next to Ye Chen, could not stop giggling while holding her tummy. Her busty breasts were undulating.
Ye Chen shook his head lightly.
‘That’s the Night Demon! He hasn’t changed at all!’
The auction fell into chaos at that moment, and the auctioneer could not get the crowd under control.
Soon, a senior auctioneer replaced him. She was an experienced lady. Facing everyone’s laughter, she said with a serious expression “We’ve got five of such foreign fragments. It’ll be divided into five sessions, and we’re auctioning one each time.
“The auction of the first foreign fragment will begin now. The opening bid is 50 million, and each increment is at least a million!”
The crowd quietened down as soon as she spoke. Nobody was making any offer because most of them were shocked by the 50 million opening bid.
Thud, thud, thud…
Almost at the same time, almost all of the doors of the private rooms on the third floor were opened. Subsequently, ladies and men who were dressed differently walked out of the rooms. There were seven to eight of them.
Among them were Shen Xingye and Tang Ning.
“Oh, my God, what am I looking at? Apart from Chiba Yoshiko from the Chiba family from Japan, William from England is here too.”
“That’s not all! Look at both of them in the corner. If I’m not mistaken, they’re Marva from Russia and Aches from Egypt!”
“It’s them. Rumor has it that Marva is a Russian royal descendant. He could move things with telekinesis when he just turned six. As for Aches, it was said that she entered the pyramids before and was the only one who got out alive…”
The atmosphere peaked as soon as they appeared. Countless people were discussing among themselves. Clearly, they did not expect those people to have come to Hong Kong together.
“100 million!” Chiba Yoshiko offered first. She was decisive. There was no need for them to hesitate at such a time!
The people jolted as they secretly thought they were worthy of being called bosses. They doubled the price as soon as they bid. Clearly, they were confident of getting the item!
“200 million!” William said slowly while holding Fang Mi as if 200 million was nothing to him.
“500 million!” Marva from Russia declared while smiling. “Willam, Ms. Yoshiko, and Ms. Aches, I want this fragment. I don’t lack money. You guys can try to fight me.”
“Haha!” Aches, who had long, red hair, scoffed and said nothing else, but she offered decisively, “800 million!”
The people’s expressions changed upon hearing that!
‘Holy guacamole! The bid went up to 800 million so soon. If this goes on, this won’t end until the bid goes all the way up to the billions.’
In Room 8, Young Master Lei sat calmly. He revealed a smirk at the corner of his lips as he watched the heat out there. “Go on and compete. The more you guys compete, the happier I am. It’s best if you guys fight!”
…
Next to Tang Ning, Shen Xingye smiled calmly. “One billion!”
At that moment, Marva and the rest were shocked. William said in his deep voice, “Young Master Shen, is your family interested in the foreign fragment too?”
“I thought the atmosphere is great, so I thought I’d spend one or two billion to hype things up,” Shen Xingye said calmly.
‘Hype things up? Who is he trying to fool?’
The crowd secretly scoffed at him. Chiba Yoshiko could not help but say, “Guys, the auctioneer said that there are a total of five foreign fragments. Why don’t we each purchase one? There’s no need to outbid each other. It’s a lose-lose situation!”
To her, her biggest threat would be Marva, William, Young Master Shen, and Aches. It would be easy if they could come to an agreement. Although she could not get all of the fragments, it was better than getting none.
Moreover, if one of them were to purchase all of the fragments, that person would definitely become a target. It was impossible for that person to leave in one piece.
Everyone fell into deep thought after hearing her suggestion. Clearly, they were moved. Shen Xingye, on the other hand, smiled calmly. “But there are six of us here and there are only five fragments. How do we divide them?”
His words made them fall into a pickle again.
Indeed, there were only five fragments and six of them. It was insufficient no matter what, and one of them would definitely walk away empty-handed.
At that moment, the six of them were blinking as they were secretly coming up with a plan to solve this.
Killing intent slowly grew.
The onlookers could not help but secretly brace themselves because they noticed that someone might attack soon!
At that moment, a calm voice came, “There’s no need to fight, you guys, because I want all five of them!”
As soon as that voice came, Marva from Russia and the rest were stunned at first. Then, their faces sunk. It was then replaced by endless killing intent.
‘Who is that!? Who dares to be so mad!?’
Besides them, the rest were stunned too.
‘This person wants all of the foreign fragments to himself! Who’s so daring to not fear death?!’
Chiba Yoshiko, Tang Ning, and Fang Mi were the only ones who thought the voice was rather familiar. They could not help but turn over by instinct.
They saw Ye Chen stand up slowly.
‘It’s him!’
Everyone was dumbstruck when they realized it was Ye Chen who said that. Disbelief filled their eyes.
