#390 - Chapter 389: The Great Enemy
After the appraisal by the Underworld, the total value of these twenty-seven Xuan artifacts is fifty-seven stars!
Is Takahashi芽生 crazy? To just throw out twenty-seven Xuan artifacts like that?
Didn't see it coming, this old thing loves his grandson so much!
Twenty-seven Xuan artifacts, even with the Takahashi Conglomerate's wealth, they must be feeling the pain!
Indeed, as people said, Takahashi芽生 and the others are indeed feeling a great deal of pain. The ones they carry with them are all Xuan artifacts of considerable value. To take out twenty-seven at once, anyone would feel the pain.
Standing on the stage, King Yama exclaimed: "Twenty-seven Xuan artifacts, fifty-seven stars, truly astonishing!"
Inside the private room, Takahashi芽生 pretended to be calm and said: "King Yama, since no one is bidding, then quickly finalize it, everyone's time is precious!"
"Okay, since no one is adding more…"
"Wait!"
A loud voice suddenly rang out.
Takahashi芽生, who was about to relax, heard this and her heart jumped back into her throat, her pupils trembling slightly: "They're not going to add another ten, are they!"
King Yama asked expectantly: "Guest in private room number 12, are you adding more Xuan artifacts?"
"I...I..." Li Chenqiu stammered, unable to say a complete sentence for a long time, seemingly very conflicted.
Just then, a strange and weak voice came from private room number 12.
"Enough, don't add any more, I'm not worth you treating me like this!"
"Let go of me, whether I'm worth it isn't up to you to decide, I must get this Life-Extending Fruit!"
"If you do this, the higher-ups won't..."
"I'll add three more Xuan artifacts!!!" Li Chenqiu said almost screaming.
"No!!!"
Buzz—
Three strangely shaped "Xuan artifacts" were projected into the air.
King Yama shouted loudly: "Good! The guest in private room number 12 is truly generous, please wait a moment, the appraisal results will be out soon!"
"Thank you for your trouble," Li Chenqiu said quite politely.
At the same time, in private room number 3, where the Takahashi Conglomerate was located.
Clang!
The sound of a cup shattering echoed in the private room.
Pieces of debris stained with tea fell to the ground, and the sound of "crack crack" bone friction came from under the black-robed man's cloak.
The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became extremely oppressive.
Takahashi芽生 and the others, who wanted to speak, swallowed the words that had reached their lips upon seeing this.
Takahashi Haishi secretly glanced at the black-robed man, and complained in his heart: "You dog thing, what are you angry about? It's all our Xuan artifacts that are being spent, and you're getting angry!"
The black-robed man urged anxiously: "Add more! Each of you contribute one Xuan artifact, this shill won't add any more!"
"Sir, don't lose your mind, this auction is like gambling..."
"Didn't you hear me telling you to add more, this person is already at the end of his rope!"
Forced to do so, Takahashi芽生 finally bit the bullet and shouted out the words to add four more Xuan artifacts, successfully winning the titles of "Loves his grandson like his life", "Brain is broken", and "Wasteful old man", becoming the center of attention for a while!
After forcing the Takahashi Conglomerate to thirty-one Xuan artifacts, Li Chenqiu stopped speaking. One shouldn't be too ruthless in life, after all, even a cornered dog will jump over the wall, let alone a person?
Inside private room number 12, Xiang Nanzhi, sitting on the sofa, laughed heartily, pointing in the direction of private room number 3 and said: "These idiots actually followed, I'm dying of laughter, hahaha!"
"Thirty-one Xuan artifacts, this mission should be considered complete," Li Chenqiu nodded in satisfaction.
Xiang Nanzhi put her hand on his shoulder and said: "You're too ruthless!"
Li Chenqiu asked in confusion: "Where am I ruthless? Didn't you say they had at least thirty Xuan artifacts? I took the lowest value, how is that ruthless?"
Xiang Nanzhi said in surprise: "Didn't see it coming, you're not only ruthless, but also thick-skinned!"
While the two were talking, King Yama began to introduce the next auction item.
"This auction item is quite special, and the special thing about it is related to the previous auction item."
Hearing this, everyone became energetic. An auction item related to the previous Life-Extending Fruit, could it also be some kind of fruit with special abilities?
King Yama didn't keep them in suspense and directly said: "The next auction item, comes from the same tree as the previous Life-Extending Fruit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another Life-Extending Fruit slowly fell from the air.
"Ah, another one?"
"Then what was the Life-Extending Fruit that the Takahashi Conglomerate spent thirty-one Xuan artifacts to bid on just now?"
"Consider them rich."
Not only were the audience shocked, but Li Chenqiu and Xiang Nanzhi were also shocked.
Xiang Nanzhi said in surprise: "How is there another one?"
Li Chenqiu said with a grim face: "Damn, if I had known, I wouldn't have raised the price so high. We can only bid on this one, otherwise the identity of the shill will be too obvious."
Xiang Nanzhi nodded in agreement.
Just as Li Chenqiu was brewing his emotions and preparing to bid, the voice of the Northern Yin Emperor rang in his ear.
"You don't need to raise the price later, just watch, we've already earned enough."
Li Chenqiu was slightly stunned, and nodded silently at the air.
Just then, King Yama, standing on the auction stage, shouted at private room number 12: "Guest in private room number 12, how many Xuan artifacts will you add this time?"
Under everyone's curious gaze, Li Chenqiu smiled slightly awkwardly: "Uh... I suddenly feel that it's not worth exchanging Xuan artifacts for the Life-Extending Fruit, so I won't add any more."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent. As long as they weren't fools, they all understood the truth.
Private room number 12 was a shill hired by the Underworld!
Instantly, everyone looked at private room number 3 in unison.
At this time, inside private room number 3, it was frighteningly quiet, and even the buzzing of mosquitoes was particularly harsh.
None of the five people spoke, and they all sat quietly in place. At this time, they finally realized what they were—big suckers!
And still the widely known big suckers!
"Damn Underworld, it's fine to scam us, but to deliberately point it out, it's too much of a disregard for our Takahashi Conglomerate!" Takahashi Haishi clenched his fists and shouted in a suppressed voice.
"The matter has already happened, what's the use of you being angry again?" Takahashi芽生 smiled helplessly, turned his head to look at the auction stage: "Two Xuan artifacts, I want this Life-Extending Fruit."
King Yama on the stage smiled slightly: "Guest in private room number 3, the starting price for this auction item is eight stars. If the Xuan artifacts you take out are not very precious, then add a little more!"
Without Li Chenqiu's obstruction, Takahashi芽生 easily bid for this Life-Extending Fruit.
However, this was just the beginning. Without exception, the subsequent auction items were all Life-Extending Fruits that had previously been auctioned for thirty-one Xuan artifacts.
These Life-Extending Fruits were basically all auctioned off by the Takahashi Conglomerate, after all, the black-robed man wasn't the only one with a broken arm, and the price they paid was forty-six Xuan artifacts.
Five of which were borrowed from the Ito Conglomerate by shamelessly asking.
After the Life-Extending Fruits, they were basically some more ordinary Xuan artifacts, which didn't cause a sensation.
Time passed by minute by minute, the auction was coming to an end, and at the same time, the real auction items were getting closer and closer to the auction stage...
