Chapter 834: Chapter 0834: The Auction Conflict

Of course, this Star-falling Iron is useless to most people, but for some, it’s a treasure, such as those Martial Arts Sect forces skilled in artifact refining. So, many people still showed interest.

After everyone discussed for a while, Caidie spoke, "According to our tests, this Star-falling Iron, apart from being a top-tier material for artifact refining, also possesses certain special functions. Now, let me demonstrate it for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Caidie took out a pair of specially made silver gloves and then slowly removed the Star-falling Iron from the box.

At the same time, two staff members carried an iron plate onto the stage.

"Watch closely, everyone."

Caidie smiled and placed her hand on the Star-falling Iron as if she was injecting True Qi into it.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, the Star-falling Iron emitted a dazzling black light, followed by a beam of light that directly pierced through the iron plate held by the staff.

For a moment, there was dead silence as everyone was stunned. That piece of iron actually had offensive capabilities, penetrating even the steel plate. If this were to hit a person, the consequences would be devastating.

As Caidie placed the Star-falling Iron back into the box, many people in the audience became restless, including Su Xiaoxi.

If this Star-falling Iron had exhibited such offensive power within an actual Martial Arts Sect, it may not have driven people mad. But in a city where there’s an existence beyond martial power—technology, researching the Star-falling Iron and developing its offensive capabilities into a weapon could create an ultimate killing machine.

Tang Ming finally got excited. While notifying Liu Gaoze about the appearance of the Star-falling Iron, he thought no wonder Liu Gaoze wanted to take this thing back for research; it definitely had research value.

The audience was still building up auction excitement, and Caidie was in no hurry; only when the time was right could a good price be achieved.

At this moment, the man with the octopus head in the front row, his face sullen, was brushing his teeth and staring coldly in Tang Ming’s direction.

Having been tricked by Tang Ming in the morning, he almost vomited his stomach out. Even though he hated Tang Ming deeply, this was the Sun and Moon Group’s territory, so he didn’t dare to act rashly. He decided to make Tang Ming look bad at the auction.

The seductive woman had changed her clothes and redone her makeup, now even more alluring, with a hint of snow-white cleavage exposed. One hand was holding Octopus Head’s arm, while the other continuously offered him a glass of water to rinse his mouth.

Seeing the time was right, Caidie announced, "The bidding for the Star-falling Iron starts now, the starting price is fifteen million, with each bid increment being five hundred thousand!"

Su Xiaoxi couldn’t hold back anymore and immediately raised her hand, "Fifteen million five hundred thousand."

This shout even startled Tang Ming, who was about to bid. He looked at Su Xiaoxi, puzzled, "Could it be that what your Su Family wants to buy is this piece of iron?"

If the Su Family and the Dark Group wanted to buy the same thing, it would be difficult for him to handle.

"No, I just think it’s useful for the Su Family, so I’ll buy it for research."

Su Xiaoxi rolled her eyes at Tang Ming.

"Rich people, too willful."

Tang Ming sighed. Since Su Xiaoxi was bidding, he would wait and see if anyone else would bid.

Octopus Head turned around and saw that the bidder was Su Xiaoxi, with Tang Ming sitting next to her. A surge of anger rose in his heart, his eyes turning red.

"Damn, that stinky woman and dead man."

After cursing softly, Octopus Head raised his hand and shouted, "Sixteen million!"

The sexy woman immediately clapped her hands happily, "Honey, you must win this. Even if you can’t, make sure she pays dearly."

"Don’t worry, if I can’t beat that bastard, I’ll crush him with money."

Recalling the morning’s events, Octopus Head felt uncomfortable; he had vomited in the bathroom for half an hour to empty his stomach but still felt very nauseous.

Su Xiaoxi initially thought the high starting price would deter others from competing, but didn’t expect it to be that detestable Octopus Head. She angrily raised her hand again, "Seventeen million."

Caidie was delighted to see people bidding against each other. She had set the price at fifteen million to test the waters but didn’t expect to spur a bidding war, ensuring the price would go high.

"Seventeen million, anyone else?"

Caidie began fanning the flames with her mallet.

Octopus Head smiled and raised his hand, "Eighteen million."

Infuriated, Su Xiaoxi also raised her hand, "Nineteen million."

"Twenty million."

"Twenty million one and a half million."

Soon, the price had reached sixty million five hundred thousand. Su Xiaoxi gritted her teeth and called out her bottom price, "Seventy million."

A piece of Star-falling Iron reaching seventy million was unexpected by anyone, including Caidie, who was secretly smiling. This commission was quite substantial!

Initially, many were interested in the Star-falling Iron, but Su Xiaoxi and Octopus Head’s intense bidding left no room for others. Spending tens of millions on a piece of iron, even those with a need must weigh its value carefully.

After some thought, Octopus Head unhesitatingly shouted, "Seventy-one million five hundred thousand."

Many inhaled sharply upon hearing this. A practically useless piece of Star-falling Iron reaching over seventy million was unbelievable.

"This Octopus Head really has money, but if the price goes any higher, I can’t afford it. There are other things to buy anyway," Su Xiaoxi sighed softly.

Tang Ming agreed, "That guy indeed has money. He spent thirteen million on a broken necklace and now bids seventy million for a piece of scrap iron. He’s got issues."

"Yeah! Buying overpriced items is idiotic. Let him be the fool," Su Xiaoxi comforted herself.

"Poor people trying to compete with me!"

Octopus Head muttered smugly, looking with pride toward Tang Ming and Su Xiaoxi. Though he spent tens of millions, ruining Su Xiaoxi’s plans made him happy. At this moment, he didn’t care about family interests, as long as he got his revenge.

"Seventy-one million once,"

Caidie struck the mallet, asking loudly.

"Seventy-one million twice,"

"Sev—"

"One hundred million." Before Caidie could complete the third strike, Tang Ming raised his hand and shouted.

"Hiss—Hiss—Hiss!"

The entire room was filled with the sound of sharp intakes of breath, everyone staring at Tang Ming in astonishment. Who knew someone could be so foolish!

Jumping from seventy million straight to one hundred million, even to intimidate the opponent, didn’t have to be so extreme.
