Smith thought everyone was going to be dispirited when they heard the starting price of the Blue Origin Spirit Fruit but to his surprise, different people kept raising their bid till the price got to 150 million dollars. Smith was merely observing the situation before he would raise his bid board. He wanted to end it once and make sure no one dared to bid more than him. The arrogant man who bought the Red Ox Head artifact for fifty million dollars grunted coldly and spoke up with a hoarse tone. “250 million dollars,” he said and everyone kept quiet. Although 250 million seemed to be small in the eyes of the arrogant man who was cladded in violet clothes, such a hefty amount wasn't small to others. The Blue Origin Spirit Fruit was worth more than that but none of them were willing to pay such an amount to buy the Blue Origin Spirit Fruit since the two Grand Grand auction ancient items hadn't been brought up to the stage yet. They felt the Blue Origin Spirit Fruit was inferior to
Everyone in the hall stared at him enviously as soon as the host, Mr. Peter, finished his statement. His voice was filled with respect as he spoke. There was only one reason for that. It was because the supposed ordinary man turned out to be a very rich person. “How do you intend to pay sir? Cash or transfer?” The host, Mr. Peter, asked in a calm tone as he turned to Smith, who had a blank expression on his face. No one could tell whether he was happy or not. Everyone was shocked when they saw that someone was willing to spend over 1 billion dollars despite knowing that the two Grand ancient items were yet to be brought up to the stage. Some of them thought he was being arrogant and didn't care about the two Grand ancient items that will soon be brought to the stage. However, Smith wasn't moved by any of that. It wasn't because he was proud or arrogant. It was because mere 1 billion dollars meant nothing to him. In fact, 900 billion wasn't worth mentioning in his face because his
What!At first they were all shocked to find out that the Golden Sky Bank's manager would come to the Red Vile Auction and delivered the 1 billion dollars just as the ordinary looking man, Mr. Smith, had said but they were even more shocked when they saw that the manager of the Golden Sky Bank, who used to be arrogant and cold, took the initiative to greet him.Even the host of the Red Vile Auction house, Mr. Peter did not dare get offended because the manager of the bank left without waiting for his response after dropping the briefcase that was filled with money. It was one billion dollars precisely. The Golden Sky Bank was the best bank in the country. Only the elites and rich families or individuals in the company could save their money there.“How is this possible?” “Not only did the manager bring the cash of one billion dollars but he also took the initiative to greet him.”“The man waved his hand as though the manager of the Golden Sky Bank was not worth being mentioned in hi
“My name is Smith.”They were not surprised that he didn't mention his surname. Some people said it was because he didn't want others to know his identity.“The first Grand item that will be brought to the stage is a cultivation book,” Mr. Peter spoke into the pack. Apart from Smith, everyone was disappointed. “An ordinary cultivation book?”“To think that I didn't use my money because I wanted either of those Grand items.”“I didn't know that it was an ordinary cultivation book.”“The reputation of the Red Vile Auction house would spoil once the words of what happened here today spread out.”Mr. Peter slammed his hand on the table and spoke into the mics. “The Red Vile Auction house wouldn't stoop so low to sell you low quality cultivation books because the Red Vile Auction house's reputation matters.”“The cultivation book is one of a kind that is extremely hard to come by. It's a cultivation book that is filled with different martial skills that are different from the one you've
What! She froze on a spot as soon as she heard his cold voice that broke every silver lining of hope in her. He looked up and stared at her with a contemptuous smile on his face. With the look of her face, she could tell that he was aware that she'd been watching him silently. She thought it was a coincidence when she noticed his presence and saw everything that he'd done. His action even made her wonder if the rumor or speculation about Smith being the underdog of the Edward's family. She felt everything she'd heard about him was far-fetched. Smith, on the other hand, nodded his head in satisfaction when he noticed the look on her face. Her expression was grave because she didn't believe that he would be able to notice her easily despite the presence of the people who were more than two hundred people. It was indeed funny how she thought he wouldn't be able to locate her easily. Earlier when he was outside the Red Vile Auction house, he learned that the people who bring the ancie
Just as Mr. Peter had requested, she was beaten to the extent that she could barely move a limb. She staggered to and fro with her head filled with blood and bruises. Her clothes were stained with her blood. “Scram!” One of the guards said after getting the approval of the host, Mr. Peter. Ava stared at Smith for a while before staggering out of the auction house in a wretched and sorry state. Even if she got outside, no one would be able to recognize her as the same popular person who they used to look up to. Their so-called celebrity was being beaten to a pulp by the guards of the Red Vile Auction house and nothing would happen. “I hope you're not dissatisfied with the Red Auction house, Sir,” the host, Mr. Peter, said demandingly with his voice filled with respect. “Is there any reason why I should be?” Smith asked and shook his head negatively. Smith left a good impression in the hearts of almost everyone present in the auction house after he uttered that statement. Some of
They stared at Smith in shock for a while as though they couldn't understand what he meant by that statement. How could they? Was there anyone who doesn't know about the existence of DAO cultivators? Even if there were some people who didn't know, they belonged to those ignorant people from a low tier family that doesn't know or acknowledge the existence of DAO cultivators. They didn't believe that someone like Smith who seemed to have an extraordinary and mysterious background doesn't know about the existence of DAO cultivators. “Did I ask the wrong question?” He asked in a low tone as he turned to the Hall Master, who was staring at him strangely. The Hall Master found it indeed strange. How could the person he wanted to get closer with and curry favor from don't have an idea of who DAO cultivators are?Could this Young Master be playing a prank on us? Or perhap, he's trying to test our intelligence,’ the Hall Master thought to himself since that was the only plausible excuse he
“I dare not say such a thing,” the Hall Master quickly spoke up in fright when he noticed the look on Smith's face.Naturally, he wasn't scared of Smith. He was only scared of the mysterious background that he had. It was something that he could only look up to. A powerhouse or mysterious family that could make the manager of the Golden Sky Bank wasn't an ordinary family. That was a family that he couldn't be trifled with. “You don't need to feel that. I understand,” Smith said in a calm tone and stood up from the chair. He was deep in thought. He couldn't help but feel something strange and mysterious about his father. It didn't take up to five years before his father rose to the top that he was widely acknowledged as the Emperor. Not only was he widely acknowledged as the Emperor but his father also managed to amass a trillion dollars worth of assets under his name. He had a lot of assets scattered across the world. With his father's connection as the Emperor, it wouldn't take hi
