Chapter 77: What’s Yours is Mine Anyway
The auctioneer was about to close the deal when Jiang Junlin spoke coolly, his tone arrogant like a victorious rooster:
“Auctioneer, since no one else is bidding, why don’t you just close the deal? What’s there to hesitate about?”
“Ah… yes, yes, yes!” The auctioneer came to his senses and smiled:
“Ten million, going once!”
“Ten million, going twice!”
“Ten million, going three times – sold! Congratulations to Young Master Jiang on acquiring this treasure.”
As the final words fell, the crowd finally snapped back to reality. It all felt somewhat unreal! How could such a worthless thing sell for ten million? Could it actually be a treasure? At this thought, many regretted not bidding earlier.
Soon after, a cheongsam-clad auction house attendant brought the Mo Miao skin to Jiang Junlin. After swiping his card, he picked up the skin and began examining it carefully. After all, having spent ten million, he needed to take a good look. Perhaps he had really found something valuable?
“Stop looking, spending ten million on such trash – you’re simply an idiot!” Chen Yinuo couldn’t help but mock him. Initially, she had thought Jiang Junlin was somewhat dignified and gentlemanly. But after what just happened, she truly despised him. How could there be such a disgusting man in the world? Lin Feng was so much better! Although Lin Feng had mysteriously disappeared for ten years, after returning he remained as gentle as ever towards her. He might appear cold and heartless to others, but was always sweet and silly with her…
“You don’t understand!” Jiang Junlin suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice. Although he couldn’t see what use this tattered cloth roll had, his strong self-esteem wouldn’t allow him to admit this fact!
“I don’t understand? Then tell me what it is?” Chen Yinuo sneered.
“This could very well be an animal hide from the Stone Age, it has great collection value!” Jiang Junlin made up an excuse and turned away, not wanting to continue conversing with Chen Yinuo.
As time passed minute by minute, the auction neared its end. During this time, Chen Qianxu spent 200 million to buy a Snow Lotus from Ice Mountain. This was to treat Little Lian’s illness – the purpose of their visit here. Seeing the successful purchase of the Snow Lotus, Chen Yinuo felt relieved. Her daughter was her life! No matter what, she had to cure her daughter’s illness!
Just then, the auctioneer announced loudly: “Next up is the highlight of today’s auction – Spirit Explosion Bombs! I’m sure everyone knows the effects of Spirit Explosion Bombs, so I won’t elaborate. We have three bombs available today! Starting price is 100 million, minimum increment is 10 million. Bidding may begin!”
Hearing the auctioneer’s words, many in the crowd showed interest. Spirit Explosion Bombs contained the power of heaven and earth – once detonated, they could threaten even Heaven Realm experts! Having such items would greatly enhance one’s safety.
“100 million!”
“150 million!”
“300 million!”
The crowd bid enthusiastically. It was clear how popular Spirit Explosion Bombs were in the martial arts world – in a short time, the price had reached 300 million! That was almost 100 million per bomb!
“400 million!” Lin Feng spoke calmly. He was determined to get the Spirit Explosion Bombs.
Beside him, Tan Tianhong checked his bank balance and felt the pain, but didn’t say anything.
“One billion!” Jiang Junlin had been waiting for Lin Feng to bid. As soon as Lin Feng made his offer, he immediately countered! However, seemingly afraid of trouble from Lin Feng, he laughed loudly and said:
“Haha… finally found them! I’ve been wanting to buy Spirit Explosion Bombs for a long time!”
With Jiang Junlin’s bid, the venue fell silent. People looked at each other in confusion! Although Spirit Explosion Bombs were rare, their market price was only about 100 million each! Paying over 300 million each? He must be sick! This Jiang Junlin definitely had a serious mental problem!
“1.1 billion!” Lin Feng said expressionlessly.
“Ah! I really want to let you have them, but I need these Spirit Explosion Bombs too badly, so I have to bid 1.2 billion!” Jiang Junlin said theatrically.
“Since you need the Spirit Explosion Bombs so badly, I’ll let you have them. After all, what’s yours is mine anyway.” Lin Feng said coolly.
Hearing this, Jiang Junlin’s face darkened as he pondered the meaning of Lin Feng’s words. What did he mean by “what’s yours is mine”? Something felt odd about that statement…
As soon as the auction ended, Jiang Junlin was the first to leave, wanting to get away quickly. Several acquaintances tried to greet him, but he ignored them all! He had sensed something unusual in Lin Feng’s words and felt Lin Feng might be planning to move against him! With his current early Earth Realm strength, he was no match for Lin Feng and needed to avoid him.
After some hesitation, Chen Yinuo and Chen Qianxu followed him. After all, they needed Medicine Master Yun to treat Little Lian tomorrow, so they couldn’t afford to fall out with Jiang Junlin now.
As Jiang Junlin led the way out, other auction attendees also began to leave. Soon, the previously bustling venue fell quiet.
Tan Tianhong checked the time – it was already past nine PM – and smiled as he said: “Young Master Lin, shall we go too?”
“You go ahead, I have something to attend to,” Lin Feng said calmly.
“Young Master Lin, you’re not thinking of…” Tan Tianhong swallowed.
In his view, Lin Feng might be planning to chase down and rob Jiang Junlin to get the Spirit Explosion Bombs back.
“We’ll deal with the Jiang family tomorrow. I have other matters now,” Lin Feng said.
Hearing this, Tan Tianhong swallowed again and didn’t dare ask more. After saying goodbye to Lin Feng, he left with Cai Wen and Tian Bin.
After the three left, Lin Feng used his divine sense to scan the auction venue, then quickly headed in a specific direction. Soon, he arrived at an office behind the auction venue.
Inside the office, Feng Hai was quietly talking with a beautiful woman in a black silk cheongsam. Seeing Lin Feng enter, he immediately stood up awkwardly and said:
“Young Master Lin, what brings you here!”
Along with his embarrassment, he was also puzzled. This office was very secluded – his private resting place. How did Lin Feng find it? It couldn’t have been other auction house staff who told him, because if so, they would have warned him in advance to let him prepare.
