At this time, Elijah’s assistant carefully dug a handful of incense with a golden spoon before he lit it up Soon, the white smoke slowly filled up the auction hall and it was very refreshing. When Jonah saw this, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have this. He had read about them and their powers. He knew that this just might be what would help him to get a grip of his negative imbalance and control it from overwhelming him. He nodded before he turned to Jerry and said “This is indeed the authentic whiteflame candle made out of priune bark. It is almost impossible to find this kind of incense nowadays. I want you to make a bid for it” The auctioneer knocked the gavel twice before he said, “The starting price for this incense is one million dollars and the price increase for each bid is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars” The incense burner was indeed exquisitely made and it was a rare collectible. Therefore, the auction price was very reasonable. Luckily, there were not so
Jerry was concerned at this point. There was no need for a show of force, if Jonah continued this way, it wouldn’t be long until his identity got revealed. So he stood up before he told Jonah “Jonah forget it. there’s no point bidding for it, that’s not what we came for. I’ve called Don Petro and in a few minutes he’ll be here with his men”Jonah simply smiled before he said “That’s good Jerry, but just you sit back and look at how I’m going to play with him. Capturing Kent is not the only reason I’m here. I’m going to show him he holds no power or wealth next to me”After that, Jonah raised his hand and said “Fifteen million dollars!”Everyone in the auction hall was dumbfounded at this time. The other party was bidding for eight million dollars and he had actually bid for the necklace at fifteen million dollars? Was he insane?At this time, Kent was also dumbfounded. Having been a frequent bidder at different auctions, he knew that Jonah was not playing by the rules. Since his
After making the announcement, the assistant came over to Jonah with a wireless credit card machine in her hand as she said “Mr Smith, please pay with your card now”Everyone was staring at Jonah at this moment, some thinking he would not be able to pay for the pearl necklace. Kent sneered before he said “Jonah, what’s the problem? Why don’t you try swiping your card now? I’d like to see how you can afford to pay fifteen million dollars!”Deep down, he knew fifteen million dollars was just chicken change to his nephew, however he knew if he pressured him, and tried to expose him as the president of Grindel Enterprise, Jonah might feel reluctant to make the payment.Everyone else was just as curious to see how things would turn out. Since, Jonah was so confident in his bid for the pearl necklace, would he really be able to pay for it?Jonah smiled before he took out his black card from his pocket and swiped it on the credit card machine immediately.There was no password needed
Even though Kent was slowly becoming famous in Eldredge and had to maintain his status, he was not willing to pay ten times the price for something. Therefore he started hesitating. Should he follow in Jonah’s bid or was this just part of his grand scheme to get him to spend his money? If he followed in Jonah’s bid, he would be throwing away more than ten million dollars away for just a bladeHowever, if he refused to follow, then Jonah and everyone else would make fun of him and conclude that he was just pretending. That would certainly cost him his status and deny him of any claims to the Grindel Enterprise company. Therefore, Kent gritted his teeth before he blurted out, “I will pay twenty million dollars for the blade!”The crowd of people could not help but exclaim in excitement. This had soon become a very entertaining show for them. Kent had added another ten million dollars on top of Jonah’s bid.It seemed after all that he was up for the challenge!Upon seeing his u
About an hour later, the auction was finally approaching its end. During this time, Ket did not bid for any other item because he was afraid that Jonah would outbid him again. Instead, he sat there, seeming very calculative of what Jonah’s motives were and what his next move might be.At this time, several helpers struggled to push a trolley up on stage. It seemed though there was a huge item of interest inside the trolley. Jonah held his breath as he looked at the stage. He could feel a strong and mysterious auraAt this time, a strange man who was sitting on the next table was also staring directly at the trolley and rubbing his hands expectantly. He seemed he was also interested in the item. This was the final treasureHowever, as soon as the auctioneer Elijah unveiled the curtain covering the treasure, everyone in the auction hall sighed in disappointment. It turned out that there was a big and swampy weed attached to it placed inside the trolley. At this time, there wa
Moreover, everyone was silent at this time as it seemed like no one else dared to bid against him.He was indeed the best conman. Who would not give up anything for the great and reputable Andrew Wiggins?It seemed as though he had gotten a good deal for just fifteen million dollars that he didn’t even spend from his pocket. However, much to everyone’s shock, a faint voice suddenly sounded again.“I will pay thirty million dollars for it!”As soon as this voice rang out, everyone was quiet again. The shock was so intense, it mummified everyone as they could only gaze in wonder At this point, everyone was staring at the bidder in shock. It was him again! It was the young man who was dressed in ordinary and casual clothing. At first glance, there was nothing extraordinary about him at all. However, this same man won in two neck to neck bids against Kent Moreover, he simply swiped his black card and paid for his purchase on the spot. He was really awesome. However, no one w
However, Jonah could see right through his intentions. Therefore, he said contemptuously “Stop talking nonsense Andrew, like I said no one owns any right to this dandelion. I’m also interested in it, and if you cannot afford to pay the price I’m bidding for it, you can back out of the bid!” Things were getting out of hand again! Once again, everyone would know who meant business and who was just trying to show off at the end of this bid. But so far, they could see that Andrew was not sure of his stance. It was insane! This young man, Jonah had actually asked Andrew to back out of the bid… That was a big blow to the face. Andrew had a cold expression on his face but in order to save money, he continued speaking in a gentle tone. “I really like this dandelion. Can you give me face and just let me have it?” Seeing how persistent he was, Jonah decided to indulge him and find out what he really wanted to use it for. He knew he was lying about the thing he said about his family memb
“Alright then young man, I will advise you not to be so arrogant otherwise you’d be the one to suffer in the end. I am not looking down on you, but are you sure you can afford to pay seventy million dollars?” “You should really sit with this question and make the right decision at the end of it” “Like I said, I’m not threatening you, I’m just simply telling you what will happen if a no good loser son-in-law like you dares continue with this absurdity and go up against me” Jonah’s face was very cold as he replied “That’s just the thing Mr Wiggins, you don’t have to worry if I have enough money, where it’s coming from or if I can afford to pay the money. That’s none of your business, except you’re chicken and truly just like your side kick here, you’re trying to find desperate measures to discredit me and keep this item for yourself. If you want to fight against me, then you should continue bidding. Otherwise, you should just shut your mouth and back out right now” Andrew was fuming
