29: Warehouse No. 3, a hidden treasure
Seeing that it was something good, Qin Yun began to feel conflicted.
It seemed Brother Wu Ying was determined to win this container.
If he competed with Brother Wu Ying, his disguise would likely be seen through.
If his identity was exposed, having completely offended Brother Wu Ying in the last auction, he would likely be in quite a bit of trouble.
Given Brother Wu Ying's pettiness and the many thugs he had under him, Qin Yun feared it would be difficult to leave this place.
Qin Yun looked at the container currently being auctioned again.
The items inside were even better than the gold nugget; no matter what, he didn't want to give it up.
"Just bid with confidence, don't be afraid of Brother Wu Ying. I'll handle it when the auction ends," Julia suggested.
Sensing Qin Yun's conflict, Julia stood on her tiptoes and whispered in his ear.
Time was tight, and there was no time to ask why, so Qin Yun decided to trust Julia.
"Fifteen thousand!"
After Brother Wu Ying scared off some people with a price of ten thousand dollars, he was observing those competing with him.
Seeing that not many people were interested and that those bidding weren't very wealthy Treasure Hunters, he felt quite smug.
Just as Brother Wu Ying was feeling happy, he heard a familiar voice.
Turning his head, he discovered that the one bidding was that heavily wrapped mysterious person who had bought the gold nugget.
He immediately had a bad premonition.
His biggest rival in this competition might be this person.
Brother Wu Ying stared intently at the man and raised the price loudly.
"Sixteen thousand!"
Unmoved, Qin Yun directly added another thousand.
Seeing the two of them raising prices without hesitation, the surrounding Treasure Hunters gave up one after another.
The price was already high, and seeing the momentum of the two, they would likely keep raising it; there was no need to become their cannon fodder.
When the price reached twenty thousand, Brother Wu Ying felt that all of this was very familiar.
Wasn't this the same scene as the auction for Jackson's warehouse?
This mysterious person's voice and build were also extremely similar to Qin Yun's.
In an instant, he realized that this mysterious fellow was Qin Yun!
Thinking of the grudge between them, especially Jackson's Dance Costumes and manuscript...
The fury in his eyes was about to erupt; he wished he could kill this loathsome fellow, Qin Yun.
"Twenty-one thousand!"
This time, no matter what, he couldn't let Qin Yun snatch this warehouse away.
Qin Yun saw Brother Wu Ying suddenly become furious and understood that his identity had been exposed.
However, he didn't care too much. Since he was exposed, he would just go all out.
This kind of two-person bidding war was a contest of momentum.
If one showed even a hint of discouragement, the other side would sense an opportunity and keep raising the price.
He could guess the general value of the items in the warehouse, so every bid he made was without hesitation, firm and decisive!
Brother Wu Ying was filled with rage, and his bidding was like fighting a mortal enemy.
Gnashing his teeth with a deep-seated anger, he wouldn't be satisfied until he had his revenge.
When the bid reached fifty thousand, neither of them gave up, still raising the price rapidly. The people around them were completely stunned.
"What on earth is going on? Why are Brother Wu Ying and the mysterious man fighting over this?"
"Could there be something good in the warehouse? It doesn't look like it, though."
"Exactly, there's a musty smell coming from the warehouse. Even if there are valuable things, they'd be ruined. Why are those two bidding so fiercely?"
"The price has reached fifty thousand. If the things inside are all ruined, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
"Regardless, we've got a good show to watch. This kind of clash between titans is rare."
"I want to see what exactly is in that warehouse that's worth such desperate bidding from these two."
...The Auctioneer was very happy to see this situation and kept fanning the flames, encouraging the two to compete.
Amidst the rising bids, everyone on the field could see the temper of the two.
They were completely relentless, looking as if they wanted to swallow each other whole.
When the price reached seventy thousand dollars, the watching Treasure Hunters became somewhat numb to the price.
This isn't a war, why get so angry?
Brother Wu Ying's companions saw his face flush red, his eyes wide open and staring at his opponent without blinking. Clearly, he had lost all reason, blinded by rage.
One of them tapped Brother Wu Ying's shoulder, and seeing no reaction, pulled hard on his arm.
He saw Brother Wu Ying shake his head, his eyes filled with a blank daze.
This further confirmed his judgment.
Brother Wu Ying had indeed lost his mind. Luckily he was there, otherwise Brother Wu Ying would have suffered a huge loss.
"Brother Wu Ying, what is going on with you? Don't let hatred blind you. This warehouse can't be worth this much, right?"
That man had already planned that after saving Brother Wu Ying so much money, he would have Brother Wu Ying treat him to an all-night full-service package after the auction.
Being pulled out of the bidding state by his companion, Brother Wu Ying was temporarily confused about the situation.
His mind kept alternating between his hatred and how much the warehouse was worth.
When the Host asked if he wanted to raise the bid, Brother Wu Ying didn't react in time.
Ultimately, the third warehouse was bought by Qin Yun for seventy thousand dollars.
It wasn't until the Auctioneer announced that the warehouse belonged to Qin Yun that Brother Wu Ying finally reacted.
Clenching his fists, he roared at the sky.
"Ah, damn it! You all deserve to die!"
Brother Wu Ying was extremely resentful. It was all because of this blind fool who couldn't read the situation and talked nonsense!
He had caused him to waste another good opportunity.
And the opponent was that kid, Qin Yun!
He began to wonder if Qin Yun was his nemesis.
Why was it that every Warehouse Auction went poorly after meeting Qin Yun?
Even when he had obtained information beforehand, he would lose to Qin Yun for various reasons.
Soon, rage filled his entire brain again.
I won't accept this!
I want revenge!
I'm going to kill this kid!
The companion felt a chill in his heart as he saw the murderous intent in Brother Wu Ying's eyes.
What is going on?
Did I do something wrong?
Everyone found Brother Wu Ying's unwilling appearance very strange. It was just a warehouse, right?
They didn't even know what was inside, so what was there to be so angry about?
Qin Yun watched Brother Wu Ying's impotent rage.
Since Brother Wu Ying had guessed his identity, there was no longer any need to hide.
He took off his mask and hat, looking at Brother Wu Ying with a calm face.
Seeing Qin Yun reveal his true face, Brother Wu Ying became even angrier.
He wished he could tear that handsome face apart with his own hands!
Qin Yun had caused quite a stir in the treasure hunting world recently, especially after the news of Jackson's Dance Costumes and manuscript exploded online.
Many Treasure Hunters across the country had taken notice of Qin Yun.
Seeing Qin Yun remove his disguise, many people recognized him as the recently famous Eastern Kid.
The entire scene erupted in cheers and excitement.
"My God, why is the Eastern Kid here?"
"No wonder he bought the first warehouse; he must have known there was good stuff inside all along!"
"Losing to a monster like the Eastern Kid, it's not an unfair defeat. How can a person compare to a monster like that?"
"If only I had recognized the Eastern Kid earlier. If I had, I would have raised the price for the first warehouse no matter what!"
"Yeah, this guy is amazing. Not a single warehouse he's picked has lost money, and they all have good stuff inside. It's always a huge profit!"
"I wonder what kind of good stuff will be in this warehouse. He won't make another fortune, will he?"
...Many people felt deep regret in their hearts for missing such a good opportunity.
If they had recognized him earlier, they would have fought for it no matter what!
Hearing everyone's compliments for Qin Yun, Brother Wu Ying almost died of anger.
Glory and money—all of this should have belonged to him. Why did it have to be snatched away by Qin Yun?
His legs went weak, and if his companion hadn't been quick, he would have fallen to the ground.
However, at this moment, everyone was discussing Qin Yun and staring at the container; no one saw Brother Wu Ying's pathetic state.
After paying the cash, Qin Yun had the Staff Member open the warehouse directly.
Once the warehouse was opened, everyone on the field looked in together, curious about what was inside.
