Chapter 863 - Chapter 863 Chapter 863 Crazy Shopping Craze

Chapter 863: Chapter 863: Crazy Shopping Craze Chapter 863: Chapter 863: Crazy Shopping Craze The entire process was quick, with hardly any superfluous words.

Two attractive women soon presented the first auction item, an antique porcelain piece, which wasn’t very popular. Only a few people bid for it, and it was finally sold for just over three million.

What followed were the second and third items; each was sold in under a minute, with prices generally around five million, serving as appetizers for the auction.

“The next treasure is no ordinary item!

It is a Level 7 quality Covering Sword, capable of cutting through iron as if it were mud and killing without showing blood–a rare, high-quality weapon. The starting bid is thirty million!”

Before long, the attractive woman presented a dark green Treasure Sword with clear patterns displayed on the screen, emanating a slender thread of sharp aura that was palpable even from a distance.

Many businessmen could no longer restrain themselves and started raising their bidding boards–

“Ding! Room 0210 bids thirty-three million!”

“Ding! Room 0421 bids thirty-six million!”

“Ding! Room 0119 bids forty million!”

“…”

Greg Jensen watched as the price soared to over sixty million in the blink of an eye and, with a cold smile, raised his bid to eighty million.

“Wow, senior, are you going to spend so much money on this Treasure Sword?”

Zoey Milton asked, puzzled, wondering if they shouldn’t be saving money for the Snow Wave Mountain auction instead.

“You’re so naive!” Her sister, Karen Milton, quickly discerned his strategy, “This Treasure Sword is being sold by the Ouyang senior. He’s doing this to quickly drive the price up to the maximum!”

Otherwise, if these businessmen were to only increase their bids by a few million each time, the auction of these smaller items alone could last several hours.

As expected, once Greg Jensen raised it to eighty million, fewer people continued bidding, and the sword was eventually sold for ninety-seven million.

“Senior, not bad at all. Your first item has sold for nearly a billion. As long as you keep up with these high prices, by the time everything is sold, you’ll make at least ten or twenty billion more!”

Karen Milton clapped her hands excitedly at the result.

However, Greg Jensen shook his head, “No, the surprise is still to come. Just with these hundred-plus items, the gain is not substantial. But there is one item, heh, as soon as I present it, it is certain that its popularity will not be less than Snow Wave Mountain’s!”

“Ah? What… what is it?” Zoey Milton looked at him in astonishment.

Even Karen Milton couldn’t figure out what item could possibly rival Snow Wave Mountain in popularity.

After all, despite the frenzied bidding for various treasures, people were actually there for Snow Wave Mountain, with hardly any item able to replace the status of the land title deed!

Greg Jensen said with a smile, “Don’t worry, you’ll find out when the time comes!”

In the meantime, the auction continued at a fever pitch, with precious treasures being brought out one after the other and prices climbing steadily. The atmosphere in the venue had reached a boiling point.

In just two hours, over one hundred and seventy auction items were sold off, leaving only the last two or three bottles of Elixir, causing many businessmen who were nearly dozing in the hall to rub their eyes and perk up a bit.

Because in a short while, the auction was going to get to the main event–the bidding for the Snow Wave Mountain land title deeds.

No matter who ended up buying it, it was destined to affect the entire commercial landscape of Octavia. With Wren Webb and the Williams Family as the leading local powers, one side was bound to fall.

At this moment, in VIP Room No. 0501.

“Mr. Brandon Grant, the accounts are clear. The total of these over one hundred and fifty treasures has accumulated sales of over 530 billion! In other words, they have gone to great lengths just to raise that much money, which shouldn’t have too much of an impact on us!”

“Hmm, that’s good! However, just to be safe, continue to find people to invest in our stocks. With things as they are, even an extra billion could provide us with more security.”

“Yes, sir!”

In VIP Room No. 0503.

Members of the Williams Family and the financial moguls from Krautopia were seated together, sipping champagne, eating steak, their expressions nonchalant.

“Haha, I thought there would be more of a spectacle. It wasted over two hours of my time, and only managed to recuperate over 500 billion. Such a trivial sum cannot even begin to bridge the gap between these incompetents and us!”

“Yes, Mr. Greg, with our powerful alliance, and the support of a dozen more companies below us, taking over Snow Wave Mountain is a done deal. Hmph, I want to see what Wren Webb has up her sleeve to play with us!”

“Wren Webb? That nobody is not even in our league. Williams, this time our true opponent isn’t Wren Webb, but rather the consortium led by the Liberty Alliance; their prepared funds might match ours.”

“You… rest assured, following Greg’s instructions, I’ve sold everything the family could liquidate and have over a hundred billion in cash on the card. This time, no matter what, we must buy up all the land rights!”

VIP Room No. 0502.

“Miss Lolita, you… you shouldn’t have bought all that junk. While these treasures may be rare, our goal is Snow Wave Mountain! Spending so much unnecessary money, it will be troublesome if we do not have enough when the time comes!”

An elder grumbled unhappily. They were representing the consortium from the Liberty Alliance at the auction, initially planning to lie low until the end and then go all out with their funds against these financial tycoons to secure Snow Wave Mountain in one fell swoop.

Yet unexpectedly, Miss Lolita seemed to want everything, spending hundreds of billions along the way.

“Psh, what’s there to be so surprised about? Grandpa Bruce, this amount of money won’t make much of a difference anyway. Besides, if it really comes to that, we can just bring in those people from Cherrywood. Haven’t they always wanted to cooperate with us?”

Lolita pouted, “I’m at the pinnacle of level seven right now; I need to prepare more weapons and elixirs, right!”

“But… that’s not the point, the leader’s intention was for us to secure a hundred percent of the rights… Sigh! To be on the safe side, I better make a call and check!”

Bruce smiled wryly, clearly not daring to take on this responsibility, and decided he could only call the Liberty Alliance to inquire whether they needed additional people to get involved under such circumstances.

…

While discussions in the various VIP Rooms were abuzz.

In the executive office of the Ulysses Auction House, an almost transparent figure quietly pushed open the door.

“Who’s there? Who is it!”

The commotion soon caught the attention of the auction house’s senior leadership.

They were all level seven powerhouses, with extraordinary senses, and immediately noticed that semi-transparent shadow approaching them, becoming instantly alert.

“Heh… no need to worry about who I am. I need you guys to auction something for me on the spot, and I want payment in full now!” the person said, with a suppressed voice, cutting straight to the chase.

The leader furrowed his brow and said, “What… what do you want to sell, and how much are you asking for?”

“I’ll let you have a bit of a bargain, just three hundred billion!”
