Chapter 140: Procrastinating
Chapter 140: Procrastinating
The reputation of the "Red Devil" was not small. He was actually put on the auction table by the Jin family. Many powerful people who participated in the auction started to think, if they could get hold of this person, wouldn't it be possible to greatly expand their underground business? For this reason, the auction immediately entered a climax as soon as it started...
When the price reached 600 million US dollars, Carrie and Elizabeth still did not react. Reddington on the stage could not help it and said directly: "Hey! Since it's an auction, I should be able to bid, right? 800 million, I'll buy myself!" When he said this, the scene was stunned. Even the auctioneer did not expect this. He had never encountered such a situation before!
At this moment, Earl King, who was sitting in a wheelchair next to the auction table and had his vocal cords removed due to laryngeal cancer and could only speak with artificial vocal cords, said: "NO, Mr. Red Devil, you are not qualified to buy yourself, you can only accept being bought by others!" When he said this, he laughed "ho ho", which sounded extremely weird, and many people frowned when they heard it.
Kerry in the audience said loudly: "Mr. Jin, what you said is not quite right! I remember that the Jin family's rule is that the one with the highest bid wins the auction, and there is no rule that the auctioneer cannot bid himself. What you said is against the ancestral precepts!"
Hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned - someone actually confronted the current head of the Jin family at the Jin family's auction? This has never happened before! Many people immediately began to look at Carrie standing next to Elizabeth, and found that this young man was really energetic! Many female tycoons had stars in their eyes.
The two contemporary brothers of the King family beside the auction table reacted differently. Taylor naturally agreed very much with Earl's statement and was very dissatisfied with Carrie at this time. Francis, on the other hand, felt that his father had gone too far. Wasn't this preventing his "goods" from being sold at a high price?
Kerry, who was sitting in the audience, didn't wait for Earl King, who was not very fluent in speaking, to speak again, and continued, "Well, we are all guests invited by the King family. No matter what new rules Mr. Earl sets, we can only obey them, right? So, Mr. Red Devil on the stage, I will help you bid, but you will pay after the success. Is that okay?"
"Of course no problem!" Reddington on the stage said immediately. He didn't know what Carrie was going to do at this time, but naturally he had to cooperate with her.
"OK!" Carrie said, "Then can the auction continue? I offer 801 million!" This price was a bit embarrassing.
Elizabeth, who was standing by, had already known that Carrie was going to cause trouble, and immediately followed up, "Since Richard is now representing Mr. Reddington, I will bid on behalf of Mr. Koskov: 802 million!"
There was an immediate roar at the scene, as these two consecutive prices were a direct slap in the face of the Jin family!
Earl, who was standing by the auction table, was a little annoyed. He waved his hand and said in a strange voice, "You two, I allowed you to participate in this auction. Are you going to blame our Jin family for doing this now?" "NO, NO, NO!" Carrie shook a finger and said, "Master Jin, everything is unreasonable. No matter why you allowed me to participate in this auction, I am eligible to bid when the auction starts, right? As for how to get the money after I win the bid, it seems that it is not something your Jin family should worry about, right?"
These words were very powerful and were directed at Earl King. After everyone in the hall burst into laughter, they all turned their attention to the three people from the King family...
Earl King was very angry, but in this situation, he naturally couldn't say no. He could only stare at his two sons, hoping that they could say something. However, Taylor, the next generation heir in his heart, was obviously not in the right state at this time, and no one knew what he was thinking; while Francis looked very happy, because the higher the price of Reddington's auction, the better his performance would be, and of course he would not object.
However, Old Earl certainly didn't give in for nothing. He immediately turned around and looked at one of the people in the audience, and gave him a fierce look...
Then, a guy in military uniform jumped out and shouted, "I'll give you 900 million!"
Kerry glanced at the guy and said in a voice that was not lowered at all: "Baby, who is this black-haired leader? Why does he listen to the old guy so much? Is he a illegitimate child?"
After everyone was stunned when they heard this, they immediately burst into laughter - the man who stepped forward to bid was a mercenary leader from West Africa named Yabari, a pure African native who was as dark as could be. To say that he was old Earl's illegitimate son was a slap in the face!
Not only did Earl King's face darken, but Yamari was also annoyed. Although his face was not dark, he was extremely angry. He had originally come to this auction on the orders of someone to capture his archenemy Reddington and kill him for revenge. Naturally, he was unwilling to be insulted at this time, but when he looked at Carrie fiercely, he was met with a cold gaze, the chill of which made him shiver uncontrollably, and he did not dare to curse at all!
"1000 million!" After Carrie retracted his gaze, he raised the beer in his hand and said, "I have a suggestion. The service of the auction is not up to standard. They even asked me, a customer, to bring my own drinks. This is a bit too much! Well, old man Earl, I'm talking to you. Don't pretend you didn't hear me. If you continue like this, you will ruin the reputation of your Jin family!" His current strategy is to take the initiative to provoke trouble, and see if this family can bear it! If you have the guts, use force and see who wins?
"Mr. Richard, don't go too far!" At this time, Taylor, who was feeling unhappy, spoke up - if Reddington's auction price was too high, then he would lose!
"Oh, this is the next generation of the family head Taylor!" Kerry said in surprise, "It's really better to see him than to hear about him. He is indeed the successor chosen by the old family! Don't worry, I bought the 'Red Devil' only because I have a reason to take revenge. Next, the painting will be auctioned by my partner, and it will naturally be a good price. It depends on whether you can afford it or not."
Taylor was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't know what to say; Francis' eyes next to him immediately became sharp! Earl King was sensitive and found something wrong - this situation felt a little out of control!
At this moment, with a series of loud noises, all the entrances to the underground hall were breached, and dozens of smoke bombs were thrown in. The scene was immediately filled with chaos and screams...
