Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Harvest

"Two hundred and fifty million!"

After a mental skirmish, the young man bid again.

This caused another uproar among the crowd.

Were these two deliberately butting heads?

But was such a little green bottle really worth so much?

By contrast, the auction host’s smile grew even more brilliant at this time, as the price had far exceeded their expectations.

"This gentleman has offered two hundred and fifty million, is there a higher bid?"

The host asked with a smile.

Her gaze swept over the audience, but ultimately, it settled on Su Luo.

Clearly, her question was directed at Su Luo.

Su Luo smiled.

"Two hundred and sixty million."

He continued to bid.

"Three billion!"

The young man was not to be outdone; right after Su Luo’s bid, he raised the price again.

"Zhou Ye, how much money do you have on you?" Su Luo’s funds were running low, so he turned his head to inquire of Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye replied in a low voice, "Mr. Su, the cash I can mobilize adds up to only about thirty million."

"Three billion and one hundred million!" Su Luo bid again, out of necessity; the money he and Zhou Ye had on them, combined, now totaled only three billion and fifty million.

This caused Su Luo to frown in frustration.

He hadn’t anticipated encountering someone knowledgeable and wealthy, leaving his prepared fund of three billion to stretch thin.

"Three billion and one hundred million?"

According to the rules of the auction house, there was no problem with this price.

After all, the host had mentioned earlier that each bid must be no less than one million.

But previously, Su Luo was adding ten million each time. Now, suddenly only increasing by one million—this inevitably made it seem like Su Luo was deliberately irritating people.

In fact.

Not only did the others think so, but even the face of the young man and Liu Minghui soured.

"Elder Liu, this kid is clearly doing this to oppose us on purpose."

The young man gritted his teeth.

Liu Minghui furrowed his brows, and after a moment, he said, "Give up the auction, let him have it. I want to see just what this young fellow is all about."

"Elder Liu, you mean... to take it from him without paying?" The young man’s eyes lit up; though he wasn’t short on money, spending three billion still pained him, and if the bidding continued, he feared all his savings would be exhausted.

Liu Minghui chuckled, "Do you think we still need to snatch it?"

The young man had a sudden realization, "That’s right, once we reveal our identity, he’ll probably have to offer it up willingly."

Then.

The young man declared his withdrawal.

This left the crowd slightly disappointed; they had originally thought they could continue to enjoy a good show.

Though the host herself wished for their bidding to continue, this price had already exceeded expectations, and her commission would be a seven-figure sum. This left her quite satisfied, so she moved on without further ado.

"Three billion and one hundred million, once!"

"Three billion and one hundred million, twice!"

"Three billion and one hundred million, thrice!"

"Sold!"

The host brought down the hammer, "Congratulations to this gentleman for acquiring the Mysterious Green Little Bottle!"

...

After the auction ended.

Su Luo looked at the balance in his account and couldn’t help but give a bitter smile, "The three billion hadn’t even had time to get warm before it was gone!"

Now, his account was left with only four million.

Moreover, he owed Zhou Ye thirty million.

"I’ll give you that thirty million later," Su Luo said as he put away the Great Dao Treasure Vase and the Supreme Jade. Despite the high cost, he was very satisfied with his gains and turned to Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye hastily said, "Mr. Su, there’s no need!"

Su Luo didn’t argue; he would give Zhou Ye the money once he had it. There was no use talking about it for now.

Outside the auction.

Su Luo and Zhou Ye walked down the street.

"Mr. Su, someone is following us," Zhou Ye said, frowning.

Su Luo smiled, "I know, it’s the elder and the young one who were bidding against us."

When they reached a secluded area, Su Luo finally stopped, turned around, and said, "It’s no use following us like this, just show yourselves."
