Chapter 1101: Chapter 580: Counter-Trap!

At last, Jewish No.9 hesitated for a moment, then chose to keep up!

"38 million US dollars!"

This was already almost four times the market price!

Even for him, it wasn’t possible to pay so much money for this piece of land.

If he actually bought it, those bosses behind him would curse him to death!

No.9 stared intently at Sean Knight, just waiting for him to raise his card.

Many were also waiting for Sean Knight to raise his card.

Even the Auctioneer, although he was calling out:

"38 million US dollars, are there any more bids, any at all?"

His gaze was fixed solely on Sean Knight.

He believed that Sean Knight was the only one who could afford this price.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the Auctioneer had called the price twice and was about to call it a third time when Sean Knight remained completely unmoved!

Was he not going to bid?

What was happening?

Sean Knight, facing so many astonished gazes, showed not the slightest change in expression, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

A voice in the Auctioneer’s earphone reminded him, and realizing his own lapse, he immediately shouted loudly:

"38 million US dollars for the third time! Congratulations to guest No.9 for obtaining this parcel of land!"

Auctions require payment upon winning, that’s the rule.

Only then did No.9 react!

He didn’t trap Sean Knight, but instead, he trapped himself!

million US dollars!

Although he could mobilize more than 38 million dollars for this trip, this wasn’t his main target!

Next, there was another piece coming up, that more than eight hundred hectares of land was his real goal!

This piece was obviously overpriced!

If he really paid the money, not to mention missing out on the land, he would also be penalized!

Everyone’s gaze now focused on No.9.

The situation was clear to all; No.9 wanted to trap No.16 Sean Knight but since Sean Knight didn’t fall for it, the plot backfired onto himself.

No.9 looked at Sean Knight woefully, thinking to himself, why didn’t you follow? Didn’t you say you wanted all the land?

Sean Knight seemed to understand his thoughts and said softly,

"I do want all the land, but I’m not a fool. I pay for my own actions, there’s no need to pay for your schemes!"

No.9 was on the verge of collapsing!

Then the Auctioneer urged:

"Moving on, we will continue with the auction, please guest No.9 promptly pay and complete the procedures..."

No.9 knew that he had to make a stance this time, he bit his lip, thought it over, and finally stood up to say:

"I’m withdrawing from the bid... I will no longer participate in this Auction."

Having said that, he stood up and left dejectedly.

Clearly, he had no intention of claiming back the 100,000-dollar deposit.

Of course, compared to the high auction price of 38 million US dollars, 100,000 dollars was indeed insignificant.

As No.9 was leaving, he glared fiercely at Sean Knight, feeling that Sean Knight had trapped him.

Sean Knight truly had no thoughts about the hostility of this loser.

A glance wouldn’t make him lose any flesh.

The Auctioneer didn’t expect No.9 to forfeit his rights and was momentarily at a loss.

He touched his earphone and spoke for a while, then approached Sean Knight and said with humility and enthusiasm:

"Mr. Knight, since guest No.9 has forfeited, naturally, you, the last but one who raised the card before the forfeit becomes the final master of this land..."

"No, no, no!" Sean Knight immediately shook his head, "Since No.9’s actions have proven that his previous bid was a plot, a deliberate attempt to trap me, that bidding is void.

I won’t acknowledge it. Either re-auction this land or leave it to be discussed later."

Sean Knight wouldn’t be made a fool of, and the Auctioneer was helpless. Apparently, the director backstage had also heard Sean Knight’s opinion and then signaled the Auctioneer to re-auction the land.

With No.9’s "malicious" bidding out of the picture, Sean Knight eventually got the land for 21 million dollars—the man with a grim face and No.17 Andrew seemed to become calmer and clearer-headed after No.9 left, realizing that the land wasn’t worth their hefty investment.

The rest of the Auction went on without much fanfare.

Sean Knight would only intervene at critical moments, acquiring one parcel of land after another.

Others began to despair, even some locals eventually chose to leave early.

However, the organizers didn’t have any restriction measures because Sean Knight acquired a lot of land.

To be exact, after Jewish No.9 left, even when Sean Knight successfully bid, he didn’t even need to pay the extra gold for the procedures.

Clearly, that restriction had been lifted.

Selling the land at such high prices, the organizers were too pleased to impose restrictions.

So, Sean Knight became the master of the event, and everyone else mere spectators.

Although every time a bid was called, whether it was No.12 man with a grim face turning more sour, or No.17 Andrew, or the Beautiful Girl No.18 Stella Gray, none failed to raise their card.

They too wanted to struggle.

But their wallets were not ideal.

If they raised the price too high, Sean Knight would definitely not follow, and it would land in their own hands.

The money was hard-earned, and they didn’t want to be foolish.

So, in the end, the entire Auction became a show for Sean Knight!

"Boss, you really made a splash today," Douglas Cooper said excitedly to Sean Knight as they left the Auction House, "Some people have already posted about today’s event on the Online Platform, and many are inquiring about your background!"

"That’s not necessarily a good thing." Sean Knight didn’t speak, but Elijah Hastings frowned, "This way, ensuring the boss’s safety won’t be guaranteed. There will definitely be some brash kids coming for the boss’s fortune."
