53: Just by my name

The new round of bidding began again.

“Eleven hundred million.”

“Fifteen hundred million.”

“Sixteen hundred million.”

...

...

“Two thousand million.”

The price began to climb rapidly, causing those in the audience to tremble slightly.

What kind of divine big shot fight was this?

Two thousand million just to buy an uncertain beast egg?

They didn't even know what could hatch from this egg; it was simply a huge gamble.

“How good would it be if I had these two thousand million?”

“Who wouldn't say that? Now I just want to know who the big shots in these two private rooms are.”

“The situation is a bit serious now; they won't start fighting, will they?”

“They really might start fighting. After all, the bidding between the two sides is too intense, and no one wants to lose face.”

“I'm leaving first. If a fight breaks out, please don't let it involve me.”

Some people hurriedly left the audience, not daring to stay.

However, some people remained to watch the excitement, wanting to see how things would unfold.

The bidding was still intense, and the Young Master from Qinglong City was starting to falter.

His father had more than one son, and the family's resources were limited; he couldn't possibly support only him!

“Boss Zhao, setting aside other matters for now, you should at least confirm whether the other party can come up with so much money, right?”

“If it ends up being unsold, it won't be good for your entire auction house. You should confirm whether the other party can provide these funds, and then I'll continue bidding.”

The Young Master from Qinglong City was so angry that his teeth were itching.

The other side really wasn't giving him any face, directly adding one hundred million after another, simply treating money like dirt.

How could he know that Su Bai had no shortage of money now, not even a little?

His money couldn't even buy beast materials; keeping it was useless.

“This indeed needs to be confirmed. Should I go now?”

As soon as he said this, Boss Zhao immediately understood the Young Master's meaning.

“Go quickly and confirm it. Don't let it end up unsold, that would be troublesome.”

Upon hearing this, the Young Master from Qinglong City breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly.

This was a full two thousand million star coins; even for him to produce it would be difficult, and his family would not allow him to waste resources.

“Please wait a moment, everyone. The auction will be suspended.”

The woman standing on the stage smiled slightly after hearing the voice in her earpiece and spoke softly.

“How slow. If you don't have money, don't come to an auction. What are you pretending to be a big shot for?”

A cold voice suddenly rang out from the microphone, sending a chill down everyone's spines.

This was no longer just a slap in the face; it was a blatant, repeated slap, showing absolutely no respect.

“Is he looking for death?”

The Young Master from Qinglong City gripped the teacup in front of him, then smashed it on the ground, his expression exceptionally grim.

“Young Master, there are always some people who, relying on a few stinking coins, don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. You don't need to bother with such people.”

Upon hearing this, the old servant chuckled and quickly soothed his Young Master's emotions.

Boss Zhao naturally heard the voice from the microphone. He hurriedly ran into the room in front of him, a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

“Come in?”

“What new trick are you playing?”

Su Bai frowned, glancing towards the doorway.

“Little brother, I still advise you, the other party is the Young Master of Qinglong City. We common folk can't afford to offend him, so let's just drop it.”

“If you really have money, I'll pick out two other beast eggs that you're particularly satisfied with later. How does that sound?”

Boss Zhao walked up to Su Bai and spoke earnestly.

“Oh, and then?”

“I thought the entire Meteor Empire belonged to their family.”

“Just tell me what you're here for; no need to beat around the bush.”

Su Bai glanced at him, not caring at all.

“It's like this: you've bid two thousand million star coins. According to our auction house's custom, we need to verify your assets to see if you can afford such a large sum?”

Boss Zhao had figured it out; neither of these two great figures was easy to offend, so it was better for him not to get involved in their affairs.

“No problem!”

“My name is Su Bai, the Bai of Su Bai. My name should be worth two thousand million star coins, right?”

Su Bai sneered and immediately said.

Su Bai!

As soon as he said this, a cold sweat broke out on Boss Zhao's forehead.

Who in the Meteor Empire didn't know Su Bai's name now, unless that person was a complete idiot?

“Enough, enough, absolutely enough.”

Boss Zhao nodded repeatedly and said softly.

Su Bai lacking money? What kind of joke was that?

He was the number one prodigy in the country, the future star of the entire empire.

“Remember, don't tell that Young Master my identity. You should know very well what to say.”

Su Bai hated people who used their power to oppress others, and he was determined to get this beast.

“Understood, understood.”

Boss Zhao heard this, turned, and left the room directly.

“Old Su, you're really too pretentious.”

“That's truly domineering! We've been together for so long, how come I've never seen such a formidable side of you?”

Sun Kai, standing by, directly gave Su Bai a thumbs up, a hint of approval in his eyes.

“Of course.”

Su Bai smiled, not caring about the Young Master from Qinglong City at all.

Even if he was the Qinglong City Lord, what then?

Could he withstand the Nine Extremes Aurora?

“What?”

“Then keep bidding for me! I refuse to believe I can't outbid him.”

The Young Master from Qinglong City continued to bid, and the final price broke through to five thousand million.

“Old Gao, let's go.”

Having been defeated by money, the Young Master from Qinglong City angrily walked out of the private room, his face exceptionally grim.

Boss Zhao took a deep breath and could only escort the person out of the Beast Hall.

“He won! The big shot in the D-character private room won!”

“That was damn exciting! Five thousand million star coins, I've never even seen that much.”

“It's terrifying! When did such a rich tycoon appear in our Qinglong City?”

“Unimaginable, truly unimaginable.”

The crowd in the audience was still somewhat unsatisfied, discussing animatedly.

After Su Bai paid, the beast egg was finally his.

“Mr. Old Su, I still need to remind you that this Young Master of Qinglong City is quite petty. I suggest you be careful, or else I can escort you out.”

Boss Zhao looked at Su Bai, his eyes filled with respect.

“No need. I'll go out myself. I want to see what this Young City Lord intends to do. In broad daylight, under a clear sky, does he really intend to rob me?”

Upon hearing this, Su Bai didn't care in the slightest. He took the pet egg and walked out towards the Beast Hall, clearly provoking them.
