Chapter 1102: Chapter 1102: A Gentleman Does Not Take What Others Love

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s bid of one hundred thousand top grade Spirit Stones, the entire auction’s attention swiftly turned toward the Heaven Character Box.

The crowd secretly speculated on the identity of the young man inside the Heaven Character Box, daring to bid openly against Tang Tianpeng.

At this moment, Tang Tianpeng’s face changed dramatically upon hearing Lin Chen’s bid, and he couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

"Boy, don’t push yourself if you don’t have enough Spirit Stones. This is the Bright Moon Commerce Guild; if you can’t pay for the treasures after winning the bid, you’ll be in big trouble."

Tang Tianpeng glanced coldly at Lin Chen in the Heaven Character Box, snorted, and then stopped raising his bid.

For this auction, his father Tang Tianying only gave him two hundred and fifty thousand top grade Spirit Stones.

However, the bidding for this silk magical robe had already reached one hundred thousand top grade Spirit Stones.

Though Tang Tianpeng deeply desired to obtain it, he believed that this robe was not worth the price.

Moreover, there were more treasures to be auctioned. If he exhausted his Spirit Stones now, he wouldn’t be able to participate in future bids.

All the people present stopped bidding after hearing the one hundred thousand top grade Spirit Stones bid. This astronomical figure was beyond what most people could afford.

Everyone refrained from further bidding, including Tang Tianpeng. They all believed that the silk magical robe would eventually belong to Lin Chen.

However, just when everyone thought the robe would fall into Lin Chen’s hands, a new bid echoed from Room 303 of the Earth Character Box.

"One hundred and twenty thousand!"

The crowd was shocked by the bid, their eyes turning toward that box. To their surprise, the bidder was actually Su Dongyu from the Su Family.

At this time, Su Dongyu’s injuries had already healed without any aftereffects, looking no different from an ordinary person.

Su Dongyu’s eyes were icy, glaring coldly at Su Yun and Lin Chen, filled with murderous intent.

Beside him stood a black-clad figure, whose aura made Lin Chen feel extremely dangerous.

Lin Chen immediately heightened his vigilance. Even the powerful figures of the Su Family were not as threatening as the black-clad figure by Su Dongyu’s side. It seemed that Su Dongyu’s recovery might be related to this black-clad person.

At this moment, Su Dongyu looked provocatively at Lin Chen and Su Yun, his intention clear: he wouldn’t let them get the item they had their eyes on.

"One hundred and thirty thousand!"

Lin Chen slightly frowned, once again announcing a bid. For him, this would be his last bid, as, despite having ample Spirit Stones, the silk magical robe was worth no more than one hundred and thirty thousand top grade Spirit Stones.

Any higher, and the robe would no longer be worth the price.

"Hmph, One hundred and fifty thousand!"

Seeing Lin Chen continue to raise the price, Su Dongyu sneered coldly and followed up with his bid.

The surrounding people were shocked upon hearing their bids. Although the silk magical robe was a treasure, it wasn’t worth that much money.

Sure enough, the world of the wealthy was beyond their comprehension.

"Since Young Master Su is so persistent with this robe, I shall not compete further."

Lin Chen said calmly, waving his hand and ceasing to bid.

Lin Chen’s withdrawal left Su Dongyu momentarily stunned, as he realized he had just acquired a robe for one hundred and fifty thousand top grade Spirit Stones, a robe whose actual value was merely five or six thousand top grade Spirit Stones.

Su Dongyu immediately frowned, a bitter expression on his face. Only now did he realize that Lin Chen had played him for a fool, never intending to actually win the robe.

Su Dongyu’s mood became incredibly heavy; if his father found out he had spent one hundred and fifty thousand top grade Spirit Stones on this robe, he would surely be severely punished. He himself even thought his actions were extravagantly wasteful.

At this moment, the black-clad figure beside Su Dongyu frowned slightly, glancing at him, inwardly cursing his foolishness. It was apparent that the other party intentionally raised the price, setting a trap, yet Su Dongyu had jumped right into it without hesitation.

The black-clad figure couldn’t help but contemplate whether assisting this fool upon orders from the Third Prince was truly worthwhile.

"Lin Chen, Su Yun, you bastards..."

Su Dongyu glared at Lin Chen and Su Yun, his heart full of anger and humiliation.

He had already purchased that silk magical robe for one hundred and fifty thousand top grade Spirit Stones and couldn’t return it. Otherwise, the Bright Moon Commerce Guild would punish him for deliberately disrupting the auction.

To offend the Bright Moon Commerce Guild would result in a dire outcome.

"Room 303 of the Earth Character Box, offering one hundred and fifty thousand top grade Spirit Stones. Is there any higher bid?"

The female official on the auction stage smiled as she formally inquired of the crowd below. She then began counting down, finally confirming the winning bid.

Obviously, the price of one hundred and fifty thousand top grade Spirit Stones deterred any further bids.

With Su Dongyu securing the silk magical robe, the surrounding people discussed amongst themselves, considering Su Dongyu foolish and excessively wasteful.

Already humiliated by Lin Chen’s scheme, Su Dongyu felt even angrier upon hearing the whispers around him.

The auction continued, several treasures appearing one after another. Su Yun successfully bid on one, but none of these treasures piqued Lin Chen’s interest.

Finally, a treasured sword with an Ice Attribute appeared, capturing everyone’s attention. The bid rapidly climbed to eighty thousand top grade Spirit Stones.

This time, Lin Chen also started bidding, though he didn’t truly aim to win this Sixth Grade Wind Attribute treasured sword.

After all, he had at least over ninety Heavenly Level High Grade treasured swords, not valuing this one highly.

His bid was merely to raise the price, as he’d noticed Su Dongyu’s cultivation technique attributes were also Wind Attribute. He deduced that Su Dongyu would inevitably be very keen on this sword.

"Fifteen thousand top grade Spirit Stones!"

Lin Chen’s bid this time was firm.

"Twenty thousand!"

Su Dongyu had realized that Lin Chen’s bid was equally firm, indicating Lin Chen’s determination to obtain this Wind Attribute treasured sword.

But for Su Dongyu, his own resolve was no different.

"A gentleman does not covet others’ cherished possessions. Since Young Master Su is so fond of it, Lin Chen will let Young Master Su have it."
