Chapter 865: Chapter 865 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Chapter 865: Chapter 865 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Karen Milton couldn't stop marveling, her gaze fixated on the screen.
The price had already stopped at over four hundred and thirty billion, nearly catching up to the value of Snow Wave Mountain.
She couldn't help but wonder, how much money did the auction house give to the Ouyang senior?
If they gave too little, they would have made a huge loss.
“Heh, I didn't ask them for too much, after all… they have to make a profit too, right?”
Noticing her question, Greg Jensen casually provided an answer.
If he had asked the auction house executives for over four hundred billion right from the start, no matter how high the value of the Soul-snatching Flower was, they would have had to weigh the pros and cons over and over again. On one hand, there simply wouldn't have been enough time; on the other hand, three hundred billion was definitely not a small amount.
In the end, the Soul-snatching Flower was successfully purchased by the guest in private room 0511 for a price of four hundred and thirty billion.
“Congratulations, Leader! All the tribes of Fayes will surely submit at your feet now that you have acquired this Soul-snatching Flower! Your strength will increase by more than two or three times!”
In the room, a dozen men in black knelt on the ground, offering a round of congratulations.
The dark-skinned man sitting on the sofa laughed heartily, appearing extremely proud.
“Although we didn't manage to buy the land rights to Snow Wave Mountain this time, getting the Soul-snatching Flower is not a loss either, at least it will aid in unifying the entire tribe once I return!”
Of course, what now made him most curious was what kind of special ability the Soul-snatching Flower could bring him?
“Leader, I think you don't need to see it that way! Even though we don't have enough money now, we brought a lot of people this time. When the time comes to see who gets the land certificate for Snow Wave Mountain, why don't we just rob it?”
“You have quite a few sneaky tricks up your sleeve, you really think those tycoons are fools?”
Jim Conant, the Leader, gave his subordinate a glance, “Even with our numbers, do you think we have more than Octavia's army? Do you still want to live and return if you act right under their noses?”
“No, no, I'm not just talking about us. As far as I know, Cherrywood's team also doesn't have enough money. Given their wild ambitions, they must be thinking the same. Why don't we collaborate with them?”
“Oh? Is that so?”
“Of course! If you agree, I'll go to the next private room right away and talk with them?”
“Fine, go and see what they say! If they're willing, we can start preparing now!”
…
Meanwhile.
The land certificate for Snow Wave Mountain had officially begun its auction.
The starting bid was two hundred billion, and in less than two minutes, it had soared to over four hundred billion.
Zoey Milton, unable to help herself, rubbed her hands together, “Ouyang senior, should we start bidding yet?”
“No rush, let them bid first. When the time is right, I will make my move,” replied Greg Jensen with a calm smile, lying leisurely on the sofa, in no hurry to speak.
He just wanted to take the opportunity to observe the frequency and span of these people's bids to indirectly gauge their financial resources.
Naturally, there were quite a few private rooms with occupants sharing his attitude, quietly watching, never placing a bid from the beginning to the end.
Ha, this auction is really filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers!
Unfortunately, I must have Snow Wave Mountain!
Greg Jensen's mouth curled into a smile as he patiently waited for the price to skyrocket.
“Private Room 0509 bids four hundred and two million, is there a higher bid?”
“Alright, Private Room 0514 raises to four hundred and three… oh no, Private Room 0509 raises to five hundred billion!”
The dazzling auctioneer kept calling out the prices, and the overall atmosphere continued to escalate. Everyone watched with bated breath, entirely unsure who would ultimately take the land certificate at the highest bid.
“I, the Webb Family, bid seven hundred billion!”
At that moment, someone pressed the intercom button, amplifying their voice, and a booming voice suddenly filled the room–it was none other than Wren Webb!
He stated arrogantly, “Snow Wave Mountain has always been the Webb Family's territory. We ask for your kindness to give us some face. In Octavia, from now on, you'll be…”
“Julius! Who cares if it used to be yours? Now that it's up for auction, the highest bidder wins, so what does your face matter?”
Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, another voice interrupted him, “I, from the Liberty Alliance, bid 750 billion!”
“This…”
Wren Webb's face turned dark, clearly not expecting the Liberty Alliance to show him no face at all in front of the public.
He took a deep breath and could only keep raising the price, forcefully calling out 850 billion, which was already his maximum limit. He also believed that this price was the limit for a great majority of the financial tycoons!
As expected, when that number flickered on the screen, many voices fell silent, and for over twenty seconds, no one raised the bid.
“Could it be it's going to happen?!”
Wren Webb's eyes widened as he silently prayed for himself.
Unfortunately, the very next second, a familiar voice rang out:
“The Williams Family bids 900 billion! Hehe, I think none of the esteemed guests here can offer higher, right?”
Boom!
In an instant, Wren Webb slumped on the sofa, breaking out in a cold sweat all over his body.
900 billion… The Williams Family can actually come up with so much money!?
How many financial tycoons has he rallied?
Is the territory of Snow Wave Mountain destined to be handed over to these people?
Frank Taylor next to him shook his head and said:
“All that money… Even with a few more days to prepare, I couldn't gather that much! Mr. Webb, it looks like we've miscalculated this time!”
Outside the auction house, merchants from various regions discussed eagerly:
“My god, 900 billion, that's enough money to buy a small country, right?”
“It looks like Snow Wave Mountain is going to fall into the hands of Williams!”
“Isn't that obvious? Krautopia's Five Star Group has partnered with Williams, and it is said that they have other financial tycoons beneath them!”
“From now on, it seems that Webb is doomed to exit the Jade stage of Octavia!”
“There's nothing to be done about that. To my knowledge, Williams has sought to cooperate with Webb, but he was refused. Otherwise, how could they not clinch the deal with such a strong alliance?”
The gorgeous lady seeing that no one else was bidding, had already picked up the hammer, repeating:
“Is there a higher bid?”
“900 billion for the first time, 900 billion for the second time, 900 billion for the third…”
As sentence after sentence was pronounced.
The tycoons from Williams Family and Krautopia had already raised their champagne glasses, ready to start celebrating.
However, at that very moment, a magnetic voice leisurely resounded:
“I bid 900 billion and 50 million!”
Boom!
This statement undeniably exploded in everyone's hearts like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
“Who… Who is it?! Who else could afford so much money!”
“It seems to be… it seems to be the person in VIP room number 0504!”
“My goodness, this is too incredible, I thought 900 billion was already the limit!”
