194: Other strong bidders

"Oh, so that's how it is!"

After clarifying the doubts in his heart, Arthur couldn't help but tease:

"Since the Dawn Merchant Guild also wants it, there won't be one of your people among the bidders later, will there?"

Avril didn't respond to this, but her silence was the best answer.

On the auction stage, after the auctioneer Lorraine finished introducing the Mirror Breaking Grass, he announced the start of the auction:

"The Mirror Breaking Grass that gives birth to a Greater Spirit, starting bid one hundred million gold coins! Bidding begins!"

"One billion gold coins!"

Suddenly, a domineering voice came from the box number four to Arthur's right!

Raising the price tenfold to one billion caught everyone present off guard.

This move also showed that the bidder was determined to win the Mirror Breaking Grass.

"VIP number four bids one billion!"

Auctioneer Lorraine was also stunned by this generous bid, but from his excited shouts, it was clear that there was more surprise!

It was known that if Lorraine auctioned something off and the price exceeded a certain expectation, he would receive a commission.

Seeing how popular the Mirror Breaking Grass was, Lorraine was naturally excited.

Most people were stunned by box number four's bid of one billion, and even Arthur curiously glanced to his right.

Yes, just curious.

Because Arthur, possessing dragon blood and the Instillation function, didn't lack means to improve his strength, so he didn't want the Mirror Breaking Grass and had no other emotions.

"Avril, do you know who is in box number four?"

"He is the current First Prince of the Heine Kingdom, Felipe da Silva. His Cultivation talent is exceptionally outstanding, and he Breakthrough to Earth Knight at only twenty-nine years old.

He is deeply loved by the royal Old Ancestor, a Legendary Expert, and it's almost certain that he will be the next king of the Heine Kingdom.

He just turned thirty this year. There should be two reasons why he wants to bid for the Mirror Breaking Grass.

One is to prepare for his Breakthrough to Sky Knight, and the other is to Cultivate some trusted subordinates."

Hearing this, Arthur also began to ponder information about the Heine Kingdom in his mind!

The Heine Kingdom is among the top tier of kingdoms. Not only does the royal family have a terrifying eight Legendary Experts, but even two ducal families within the country each have one Legendary Expert!

It can be said to be terrifying!

Of course, it's terrifying for other kingdoms, but for Arthur, it's a piece of cake.

Arthur quickly reviewed this information in his mind and then dismissed it.

At the same time, he understood that the answer to this question made him owe Avril a favor.

After all, they were both guests, and Avril casually revealing information about other guests, if exposed, would damage the merchant guild's reputation.

Both were intelligent people. Avril was willing to risk damaging her reputation to befriend Arthur, and Arthur didn't mind owing this small favor!

Inside the auction hall.

Although First Prince Felipe of the Heine Kingdom's bid of one billion gold coins was shocking, the temptation of the Mirror Breaking Grass was considerable, and soon someone else made a bid:

"One billion one hundred million gold coins!"

"One billion one hundred million gold coins!"

Facing the bids from others, Felipe didn't back down and directly added ninety million gold coins, making it a round one billion one hundred million!

The other party only added ten million, while Felipe directly added ninety million; this was clearly an Aura of overwhelming dominance!

However, those who dared to follow up were clearly not cowards, and that person quickly responded:

"One billion two hundred million gold coins! Let's see if you'll add another one hundred million!"

"What if I add another one hundred million? Not only will I add one hundred million, but I'll add two hundred million! One billion four hundred million gold coins!"

As soon as these words were spoken, most people in the auction house couldn't help but gasp.

The price of the Mirror Breaking Grass had actually reached one billion four hundred million gold coins, which was already higher than the one billion three hundred million of the Legendary Greatsword at the beginning!

It was currently the highest-priced item in this auction, and judging by the situation, there was still room for it to rise.

For a time, everyone began to wonder what price the Mirror Breaking Grass could reach!

In the auction house.

The bidding price for the Mirror Breaking Grass was still rising, and there were even more than two people bidding!

The price quickly reached one billion six hundred million gold coins!

It was at this point that even the previously arrogant First Prince Felipe no longer added one hundred million gold coins at a time, at most adding ten million gold coins at once!

Everyone had a scale in their hearts; this Mirror Breaking Grass was worth about one billion five hundred million gold coins, and one billion six hundred million gold coins was already an inflated price!

After a while longer!

"One billion seven hundred twenty million gold coins!"

"One billion seven hundred twenty-five million gold coins!"

By now, only Felipe and the other person who had been competing from the start remained.

In box number four.

Having overheard Arthur and Avril's previous conversation, the curious Doria couldn't help but ask:

"Sister Avril, is the person still competing with Felipe from your merchant guild?"

"Of course not. Although our merchant guild wanted the Mirror Breaking Grass, the current price has far exceeded our expectations, and the guild stopped bidding long ago!"

"Then who is the other person? How can they be so rich?"

"This person is named Roshaun Mackenzie. Speaking of which, you all have a slight connection with him."

"What connection?"

Karona, who had been listening for a long time, asked curiously, wondering why this unknown Legendary Expert had a connection with the Lionheart Kingdom.

Seeing Doria and the others' curious gazes, Avril didn't keep them in suspense and continued:

"Roshaun Mackenzie is one of the Legendary Experts of the Lia Kingdom!"

"Lia Kingdom... Oh, I know!"

The Lionheart Merchant Guild has a branch established in the Lia Kingdom!"

Compared to the carefree Doria, Karona was more knowledgeable about the development of kingdoms, so she knew the locations of the various branches of the Lionheart Merchant Guild.

"So that's the connection!"

Hearing that this was the only connection, Doria's excitement immediately subsided!

...While the people in the box were talking, the auction for the Mirror Breaking Grass outside gradually came to an end!

"One billion seven hundred fifty-three million gold coins, going once! Any more bids?"

"One billion seven hundred fifty-three million gold coins, going twice!"

"Three times!"

"Sold!

Congratulations to the VIP in box number two for successfully bidding on the Mirror Breaking Grass!"

As Lorraine excitedly brought down the gavel, the fate of the Mirror Breaking Grass was finally decided!

"I didn't expect it to be the person in box number two who won!"

"Yeah, I also didn't expect box number four to be so imposing earlier, adding hundreds of millions of gold coins at a time, but in the end, they couldn't keep up!"

...Regarding this result, everyone in the auction house expressed their surprise.

In box number four.

A man who looked only in his early twenties, his face somewhat distorted, couldn't help but curse angrily:

"Damn, damn, damn! If it weren't for something else I absolutely must have later, how could I not be able to afford a mere one billion seven hundred billion gold coins!"

Felipe was furious at this moment, especially after hearing the discussions of the crowd, he felt a great loss of face.
