Chapter 1655 – Relief In The Auction House
*****For a moment, the entire auction house fell so quiet that if someone who was completely deaf had walked through the doors right now, they might have assumed the massive hall was completely empty.Every cultivator and attendant froze.Even the A-rank powerhouses who had remained composed throughout the earlier chaos were momentarily stunned into silence.“I… I think my ears have started playing tricks on me,” a raspy voice finally emerged from somewhere in the crowd.Another person swallowed hard. “I… I couldn't have heard that correctly.”A third voice trembled with disbelief.“Did he… just raise the bid from $30 million to… $350 million?”The speaker sounded as though saying the number aloud might somehow make it less ridiculous.It didn't.“This is crazy!”The quiet disbelief rapidly transformed into an uproar.Voices erupted from every direction, overlapping one another until the auction house became deafening.The roar was so tremendous that the massive cruise ship itself se
Chapter 1654 – $350 Million Bid
*****At $150 million, the auction hall gradually fell quiet again.No one in the Upper Realm raised the bid.Not because the ring was worthless.Quite the opposite.The Nine-Petal Lotus Ring was extraordinarily valuable.But this was only the first item of the second phase.There were still more treasures waiting to appear, and no matter how useful the ring was, they couldn't exhaust hundreds of millions on a single item and then watch something even more valuable slip through their fingers.One by one, the representatives withdrew.Yet before doing so, they all looked toward Xavier.Those gazes were no longer merely mocking.They were cold, heavy, and filled with murderous intent.Xavier met none of them.He simply sat there calmly, as though spending $150 million at an auction were nothing more remarkable than ordering another cup of tea.The auctioneer looked around the hall, waited for another bid, and finally raised her voice.“$150 million going once.”No response.“Going twice
Chapter 1653 – The Number One Enemy
*****She studied him with the playful intensity of someone examining an unfamiliar piece on a chessboard, wondering what would happen if she pushed it a little further.“The only conclusion,” she continued slowly, “is that he is either a fool who doesn't know when to back down…”Her smile widened.“…or he has something he relies on.”Her subordinates exchanged cautious glances, each of them understanding exactly what was happening.They had served her for long enough to know that whenever their mistress became genuinely interested in something, peace usually became the first casualty.This level of curiosity was even more dangerous because the Demoness rarely became this intrigued without eventually turning her interest into entertainment.Their gazes slowly shifted toward Xavier, brimming with genuine pity.‘Blame yourself for catching the mistress’s interest.’Just as the subordinates were thinking this, the Demoness spoke again.“Little brother, are you really sure you want to bid
Chapter 1652 – The Demoness’s Intensified Interest
*****For a moment that felt like an eternity, the entire auction house fell into such profound silence that the faint sound of people swallowing could almost be heard.Hundreds of powerful cultivators stared toward the same direction, their expressions frozen somewhere between disbelief and outrage, as though the entire hall had collectively forgotten how to breathe.No one had expected this.Since Celestial Pearl began its auction… years ago, countless treasures had changed hands, enormous sums of money had been thrown around, and powerful figures had competed against one another. Yet a situation like this had never occurred before.No matter how audacious someone from the Lower Realm was, absolutely none of them had ever dared to openly wage a bidding war against the people of the Upper Realm.It was not merely reckless.It was practically the same as writing an invitation letter to your own funeral, sealing it with your blood, and personally delivering it to the executioner.The d
Chapter 1651 – Xavier’s Irritation
*****The Demoness accepted the document and casually flipped through the pages. At first, her expression remained indifferent. Then her eyes paused.A hint of surprise flashed across her beautiful face.That surprise quickly transformed into interest.Then amusement.By the time she finished reading, the corners of her lips had already curled upward.She slowly raised her eyes and glanced toward Xavier again. This time, there was a distinctly playful glint in them, as though she had just discovered something entertaining.“As far as I can tell,” she said leisurely, her voice carrying through the auction hall, “Riverton City is nothing more than a backwater city without a single A-rank fighter.”Silence descended.The words were simple, but their effect was anything but.The Demoness casually dropped the document onto the table and leaned back into the couch, looking completely satisfied with herself. She didn't explain further. She didn't need to.She simply watched Xavier with open
Chapter 1650 – The Demoness
*****Matthew stared at Xavier through the one-way window of his private room, his face strangely blank.For several seconds, he didn't move.It was as though his mind had encountered an unexpected wall and had no idea how to climb over it.‘An A-rank backer?’His fists slowly tightened.If that was true, then things had become considerably more complicated.The two B-rank bodyguards standing behind him exchanged a glance.Neither spoke, but both men released a quiet breath internally.What a ridiculous turn of events.Neither had anticipated this development.More importantly, both of them silently thanked whatever fortunate stars were still willing to watch over them.They had almost attacked earlier.If they had actually laid hands on Xavier and his companions, they might have already created an unnecessary conflict with the A-rank powerhouse backing Xavier.Even if that mysterious powerhouse eventually backed down after discovering that Matthew's father was also an A-rank fighter,
