“The next item is a hundred-year-old Blood Ganoderma! Blood Ganoderma is already rare, but this specific one is a hundred years old. It is truly a one-of-a-kind treasure. Even if you aren’t familiar with medicine, simply boiling it will release its powerful medicinal properties. At the very least, it will guarantee the person who drinks it good health. It can even lengthen a person’s longevity. These are only its fundamental properties. If anyone here understands medicine, you will definitely appreciate this hundred-year-old Blood Ganoderma. I won’t explain further! The starting price is two billion! Each bid must increase by no less than a hundred million,” Grace announced loudly.
As soon as these words were spoken, shocked murmurs arose from the crowd.
Even if it was a Blood Ganoderma that could guarantee good health and extend one’s lifespan, a starting bid of two billion was still considered excessively high.
Therefore, there weren’t many people willing to bid on the item. Alex felt overjoyed upon seeing the situation. The fewer the people bidding, the better it was for him.
He looked toward the two elderly men. At the moment, they were engaged in a serious conversation, seemingly astonished by the exorbitant starting bid.
Alex had no intention of giving them any time to consider. If they were given the opportunity to consider, it would only mean more competitors for him.
He made up his mind and raised his bidding paddle. “I’ll take it for five billion!”
Many people had already given up bidding for the Blood Ganoderma at the price of two billion, so they didn’t expect someone to suddenly bid five billion, instantly increasing the price by three billion. It was more than doubling the starting bid!
The two elderly men, who were initially planning to bid, were astonished upon hearing someone bidding five billion for the Blood Ganoderma.
Their sect leader only gave them five billion. They had already thought that one billion for a Blood Ganoderma was already an exorbitant price, and they had planned to use the remaining money to buy medicinal herbs to enhance their strength.
Now that the price had been raised to five billion, the two elderly men hesitated. Wouldn’t it mean that the price will only continue to increase?
Not only would they fail to make any profits, but they would also have to pay out of their pockets to cover the loss. They didn’t even want to consider this matter any further.
“Five billion to buy a Blood Ganoderma? Is this brat trying to cause trouble?”
“He’s really seeking death if he dares to cause trouble in this auction. The person hosting this auction is a powerful figure. We’re in for a good show!”
“Hey! Brat, if you can’t come up with that much money after randomly raising the bid, it’s as good as courting death! Are you sure about this?” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Even Garett, who was beside Alex, looked at the latter with a strange expression. This seemingly ordinary man didn’t even have an invitation to this auction. If it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t even be able to enter. Does he
really have five billion?
If Alex really couldn’t come up with the money, even he wouldn’t be able to save the former.
Upon thinking this, Garett reminded him, “Alex, although the Blood Ganoderma is precious, it’s not worth five billion. Why don’t you reconsider? While it hasn’t been auctioned off yet, I can explain the situation to the staff. Perhaps the host will redo the auction of the Blood Ganoderma in consideration of me without troubling you.”
Alex knew Garett was thinking on his behalf, and his impression improved even more.
Alex smiled calmly and replied, “Thank you, Mr. Greaves. Since I dare to bid this amount, I can afford it.”
“Five billion, once! Five billion, twice! Five billion, sold!” The gavel fell, ending the bid. The Blood Ganoderma belonged to Alex now.
