Chapter 2633: Chapter 2612: Who Exactly Is It?
Chapter 2612 Who Exactly Is It!
Peng Muxue saw the Feng Family also starting to bid, and she didn’t want her brother to continue competing with them. The bad relationship between the two families only worsens with malicious bidding, draining both spirit and wealth. Feeling it’s not worth it, Peng Muxue advised, "Brother, forget it, I don’t want this treasure."
Listening to his sister, Peng Qianshan didn’t continue raising the bid. Just as Xue Fan was about to announce the third countdown, Feng Changhai burst into joy inside the booth. He thought he could finally beat the Peng Family this time, and his heart was overwhelmingly happy, laughing inside the booth.
"Boss, I can feel it’s a good thing," Tangyuan closed its eyes and told Lin Feng. Tangyuan’s treasure-hunting ability revealed to it that although the item was damaged, it was undoubtedly a rare treasure. Therefore, it stood on Lin Feng’s shoulder and spoke to him.
"Seven million." Just when Feng Changhai thought the Eternal Sky-Suppressing Disk was within his grasp, Lin Feng’s voice came from the booth number ten.
Lin Feng’s voice was small but distinct in the unusually quiet auction hall. His magnetic voice made itself heard clearly. He hadn’t spoken all along, waiting for the other Prominent Families to drive the price too high with no contenders before making a bid. Otherwise, repeatedly calling out prices would be too exhausting. Why not be decisive and carefree? Since Tangyuan said this treasure was rare, he directly elevated the price to ensure no one dared to outbid.
"Booth number ten bid seven million, anyone else?" Xue Fan heard Lin Feng bidding again, and his face instantly lit up with a smile. Lin Feng surely astonished everyone in one strike.
"What? It’s booth number ten again."
"Over seven million, that’s an astronomical price."
"I really don’t get it, why spend over seven million on an unusable Dharma Treasure."
...
The people on the first floor were astounded at Lin Feng’s renewed bidding. Just now, he spent six million on a treasure. This time, it’s even more astonishing; he started by raising the bid by one and a half million. Who exactly is this person with such wealth? Furthermore, this Dharma Treasure seemed to be nothing special. To someone unskilled in Artifact Refining, it’s just a piece of scrap metal. He must be insane or just overly rich with nowhere to spend!
"Snap!"
Feng Changhai kicked the stool beneath him fiercely, smashing it to pieces. He had never been this angry before. He thought the Peng Family was his biggest rival, but unexpectedly, someone from booth number ten emerged, challenging him. Where did this lunatic come from, deliberately competing for the Eternal Sky-Suppressing Disk with him? Could it be intentional?
Thinking of this, Feng Changhai couldn’t swallow this frustration. He decided to bid again; he just couldn’t believe someone would dare challenge him.
"Seven and a half million," Feng Changhai said through gritted teeth. Now pushed into such a position, not bidding further would be humiliating. Yet, bidding more felt unsatisfying too. It was clearly about to be his, but now he’s humiliated in another area, driving him exceedingly furious.
"This is getting interesting."
"Feng Changhai is getting seriously desperate."
"Who exactly is in booth number ten!"
...
Several other Prominent Families inside their rooms couldn’t sit still. They were curious too who was in booth number ten, having such financial resources to spend so much on a broken Magic Artifact, even going toe to toe with the Feng Family. After all, the Feng Family is one of the eight Great Families; anyone daring to oppose them must have a strong backer. Who could it be?
"Ten million!"
Lin Feng genuinely didn’t want to waste more time with him and gave a direct price. This treasure was essential for him to acquire. Having not encountered a teleportation Magic Artifact for so long, this was crucial for him. He had to refine a teleportation Magic Artifact for Gu Tianhai, making it less bothersome and time-consuming to travel between cities.
"What!"
"Ten million!"
"My god, I’ve been in Lin City for so long, and I’ve never heard such a high price."
...
The people downstairs went wild. They’ve never heard of such a high price before; in Lin City’s auction history, this was unprecedented. A treasure costing several million was acceptable for Lin City’s eight Great Families, but ten million, what kind of concept is that!
Feng Changhai heard Lin Feng directly raise to ten million, nearly fainting. He looked at his family’s Elder in disbelief, feeling utterly embarrassed. He couldn’t afford to bid further; a Magic Artifact costing a million was outrageously expensive.
"Anyone else bidding?"
"Ten million once."
"Ten million twice."
"Ten million thrice! Sold, congratulations to the young master in Box Ten for winning another treasure."
Xue Fan announced the result. He admired Lin Feng even more now. This price was unprecedented in the auction house’s history, setting a new record. He flashed a meaningful smile; Lin Feng truly never ceased to surprise people.
"Go, check out the entrance of Box Ten and see who it is!" Feng Changhai shouted loudly. Although he didn’t win the treasure, he wanted to find out who was opposing him and give them a good lesson. He was absolutely furious.
"Yes." Seeing the Family Head lose his temper, his men hurried to the entrance of Box Ten to investigate, but they quickly ran back.
"What happened? Did you see who it was?" Feng Changhai was perplexed seeing the scout return so quickly. Could it be they had already discovered the identity of the mysterious figure in Box Ten? He excitedly asked.
"Family Head, I didn’t dare to go forward." The guard said to Feng Changhai. He indeed only glanced from afar before returning because he saw Elder Xu of the auction house sitting in front of Lin Feng’s door and had no choice but to flee back in a panic.
"Why?" Feng Changhai, already very angry, got even more furious when he heard this. What was going on? How could they not even approach? What kind of important figure could scare this useless guard like this?
"It’s that, Elder Xu from the auction house was sitting at the doorway, making it impossible to get closer." The guard stammered. He hadn’t even reached the door of Box Ten when he saw from afar that Elder Xu was sitting at Lin Feng’s box entrance. Elder Xu was one of Xue Fan’s subordinates and also a manager of the auction house, known by everyone in Lin City.
Elder Xu, being a Divine Venerable, sat calmly sipping tea at Lin Feng’s doorway, his eyes constantly monitoring the surroundings as if preventing others from approaching. Xue Fan had arranged this on purpose; he knew Lin Feng had already offended many people in Lin City. It wasn’t really to ensure Lin Feng’s safety, but to prevent others from disturbing him and thus disrupting the smooth progress of the auction.
"What? Elder Xu!" Feng Changhai was extremely surprised at hearing this. What kind of background did Box Ten have to warrant an elder of the Myriad Gods Tower guarding the door? It was simply unbelievable. Having been in Lin City for so many years, they were very familiar with Elder Xu, who was a highly respected person at the auction house. How could he be guarding someone’s door? But realizing this, Feng Changhai also had no recourse. He couldn’t just bite the bullet and investigate further.
In fact, similar incidents were not only undertaken by Feng Changhai; other prominent families also sent people to the entrance of Box Ten to find out the mysterious identity, but they were all frightened away by Elder Xu. All the family heads were shocked at Lin Feng’s background upon hearing about the situation. They all thought that for Lin Feng to receive such treatment from the Myriad Gods Tower, he must be an unimaginable figure even for them.
During the subsequent auctions, Lin Feng won several more treasures. For any item Box Ten bid on, other families would only bid once or twice before giving up. By the end of the auction, everyone was astounded by Lin Feng’s wealth. They roughly estimated that throughout this auction, Lin Feng had spent at least sixty or seventy million yuan stones. This was astonishing across the whole of Lin City, leaving the prominent families dumbfounded. These prominent families typically prepared thirty to forty million yuan stones for an auction annually, and Lin Feng spent more than double their preparation on just a few items.
"It’s simply unbelievable! Where did he get so much money?"
"Wow, he can be considered the big winner of the auction, yet he doesn’t come up on stage to show himself!"
"What kind of person could he be?"
...
Until the end, Lin Feng had become the hot topic of the auction. Everyone was focused on Box Ten, wanting to know who could overshadow all the prominent families and become the focal point of the auction. But Lin Feng did not come out until the auction was almost over and everyone had left. Only then did Lin Feng emerge from the box.
Xue Fan waited downstairs for Lin Feng and said to him, "Young Friend Lin, you’ve truly reaped a lot."
He really hadn’t expected Lin Feng to win so many treasures this time. He knew Lin Feng had the capability to earn money, but he hadn’t expected him to be so lavish in spending, not hesitating to spend freely on treasures he fancied. Inviting him this time was indeed the right decision.
"Elder Xue, I truly thank you," Lin Feng said calmly, expressing gratitude not only for inviting him to the auction but also for arranging everything meticulously, including having an elder guard the door for him. He clearly understood Elder Xue’s intentions.
"Haha, you’re too polite," Xue Fan said while walking toward the auction house entrance together with Lin Feng and Ma Biaohu, his face always adorned with a happy smile.
The eight family heads did not immediately return home after leaving the auction house. They stood far away, watching from a distance, wanting to see who the mysterious person really was. They wouldn’t relent until they had seen him.
"I must see who the kid in Box Ten really is!"
"Yes, this time he really stole the limelight!"
"What kind of remarkable figure could have bid on so many treasures?"
...
The heads of the eight prominent families gathered, all speculating about who was in Box Ten. They couldn’t imagine this person having such financial power, and during this auction, everyone’s attention was focused on Box Ten, while the treasures that person obtained were all the items these major families desperately wanted but couldn’t get.
