Chapter 13 Holy Alliance Auction: The Battle for the Mysterious Stone Sphere!

"VIP number three! VIP number three has bid 15,000 gold coins!"

"My God! Five thousand more in one go! Is there any price higher?"

"Then...then it just looks like a slightly peculiar stone sphere! What's so special about it that it could make VIP number three react like this?!"

"Stop guessing. For some big shots, as long as it's unusual enough... that's enough!"

"..."

All eyes in the room instantly focused on the mysterious No. 3 VIP box.

Inside private room number seven.

The smiles on Lin Jialu and Long Haochen's faces froze instantly, as if blown by the cold winter wind.

"Fifteen thousand gold coins..." Lin Xin, a magician who prided himself on being knowledgeable and experienced, couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"Who is this important person sitting in VIP room number three? Why would they spend so much money on a piece of worthless rock of unknown purpose?"

He turned to look at Long Haochen and found that the calm and collected young man was staring intently at the stone ball, his eyes filled with an almost overflowing desire.

Lin Jialu's smile froze for only a moment before she quickly regained the gentleness and firmness befitting an older sister.

She patted Long Haochen on the shoulder and softly assured him, "Little brother, don't worry. Since you like this, I'll definitely help you get it!"

After saying that, she pressed a few buttons on the bidding device in front of her without hesitation.

hum-

The indicator light in front of VIP room number seven lit up, and a brand new price was displayed on the large screen in the center.

"Sixteen thousand!"

"The VIP in room number seven has bid 16,000 gold coins!" Xingxuan's voice on the stage grew sweeter; she knew the real show was just beginning.

As long as there is competition, even a single Tier 1 magic crystal can fetch a high price; that's the allure of auctions!
however.

She hadn't even finished speaking, not even a breath had passed.

The indicator light in VIP room number three lit up again, but the soft red light appeared so domineering to everyone at that moment.

The numbers on the screen jumped up and down crisply.

Twenty thousand!

"hiss--"

This time, not only in the lobby downstairs, but also in the other VIP boxes on the second floor, there were clear gasps.

It jumped directly from 16,000 to 20,000!
This is no longer a bidding process; it's clearly a declaration, a powerful declaration of determination to win.

"A madman! He's a complete madman!"

"Who exactly is in VIP room number three? When did such a wealthy and powerful person arrive at Amy City?"

"Twenty thousand gold coins for a stone... I don't understand, but I'm utterly shocked!"

"It would be great if I had 20,000 gold coins. I could use them to buy potions from the potion master and increase my total spiritual power!"

"Dude, you've got to be dreaming!"

Discussions surged like a tide.

The atmosphere in private room number seven was already heavy.

Lin Jialu stared at the glaring "20,000," gritted her teeth, and entered the price again.

"Twenty-one thousand!"

The response from VIP Box 3 was outrageously fast.

"Twenty-five thousand!"

"Twenty-six thousand!"

"Thirty thousand!"

……

With the near-frenzied bidding in rooms three and seven, the price of the mysterious stone sphere skyrocketed.

In less than a minute, the price was artificially inflated to a level that left everyone speechless.

Fifty thousand gold coins! When the number "fifty thousand" appeared on the big screen, the entire auction hall erupted in uproar.

Fifty thousand gold coins are enough to buy a decent manor in the most prosperous area of ​​Amy City, or enough to assemble a well-equipped squad of a hundred knights.

That's enough... for an ordinary family to live comfortably for several lifetimes!
Now, this huge sum of money is only for the sake of fighting over a slightly peculiar stone ball.

The host on stage, Xingxuan, had an excited flush on her cheeks, and she felt her heart was about to burst out of her chest.

Having worked at the Holy Alliance Auction House in Amy City for so many years, she had seen and auctioned far more expensive treasures.

But she had never hosted such a thrilling auction before.

"Fifty thousand! VIP number three has bid fifty thousand gold coins! Is there anyone bidding higher? This might be a priceless treasure that could change one's destiny!"

"VIP number seven, would you like to continue?" The host, Xingxuan, asked, her voice rising higher and louder with excitement.

Inside room number seven, Lin Jialu's finger hovered over the bidding device, but she hesitated to make a move.

Fine beads of sweat had already formed on her forehead.

"Jia... Sister Jialu." Long Haochen's voice trembled slightly; he couldn't bear it after all. "How about... we just give up?"

His heart was bleeding.

Fifty thousand gold coins—this number was so heavy for him that he could hardly breathe.

……

Meanwhile, inside private room number three.

"Li Hao!"

Wang Yuanyuan finally snapped out of her daze after a series of breathtaking bids. She sprang up from the sofa, grabbed Li Hao's hand that was about to press the bidding button again, and completely lost it.

"Are you crazy?! Fifty thousand gold coins! That's a stone ball of unknown use! You...you're absolutely infuriating!"

She felt as if someone was cutting her heart piece by piece with a knife, and the pain was excruciating.

Fifty thousand gold coins! That's fifty thousand gold coins!
They worked tirelessly, hunting demonic creatures in the demonic territory, risking their lives in the process.

A high-quality Tier 5 magic crystal would only fetch around two thousand gold coins at the auction house.

These 50,000 gold coins are more than all their previous gains combined!
now--

Li Hao casually spent this huge sum of money on a "broken stone".

Wang Yuanyuan felt that Li Hao's madness was even more terrifying than when she faced the seventh-tier Jacques Demon.

"You do not understand."

Li Hao shook his head, his expression remaining calm, as if he had just quoted five copper coins instead of fifty thousand gold coins.

He gently pushed Wang Yuanyuan's hand away and stared intently at the stone sphere on the auction stage.

"The contents of this stone sphere are priceless treasures, worth more than 500,000, even 500,000 or 1 million."

Li Hao's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable certainty.

Wang Yuanyuan was speechless, choked by his rambling manner, and could only pant heavily to the side.

His chest heaved violently, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door of the private room.

"Dong dong dong."

"Come in," Li Hao said calmly.

An auction house maid in a business suit entered, carrying an exquisite silver tray with a folded piece of paper on it.

The maid bowed respectfully and said softly, "Hello, Mr. Li."

"The VIP in room number seven asked me to present this note to you. I hope you will take a look."

"Oh?" Li Hao raised an eyebrow, gesturing for her to hand it over.

Wang Yuanyuan also curiously came over.

Li Hao unfolded the note, and saw a line of words written on it in a flamboyant style, conveying a sense of superiority.
