A Staggering Number
Suddenly, a luxurious middle-aged gentleman stood up. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked extremely confident.
He raised the bidding card in his hand to the platform where the treasure map was located.” One million!”
Feng Luo frowned slightly, feeling worried.
This middle-aged gentleman had a strong aura. It was obvious that he did not intend to give up easily.
He knew that the competition in this auction would be extremely intense.
Following that, a few more bidders increased their bids one after another. The price kept rising, and soon, it reached a staggering figure.
Luo Feng’s heart was heavy. Their funds were limited, so they couldn’t raise the price at will. If they paid too much attention to it, it might arouse suspicion.
“Five million! “The middle-aged gentleman raised his bidding card again, his voice firm.
Luo Feng pondered for a moment. They had to make a move at the last moment. Otherwise, it was very likely that other bidders would discover their interest in the treasure map.
At this moment, he noticed a young woman in a black suit. Her eyes were very calm, as if she had already calculated the entire situation.
“Six million! “Luo Feng finally decided to make a move, but his voice wasn’t loud.
The middle-aged gentleman and the young woman’s eyes immediately fell on Feng Luo. They were obviously curious about this new bidder.
Feng Luo pretended not to care and continued to look at the auction stage, but he was extremely nervous.
The following bidding became unusually intense. Feng Luo persisted and kept raising the price, but the middle-aged gentleman and young woman didn’t seem to back down.
The situation was in a deadlock, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.
“Ten million! ” The middle-aged gentleman finally raised his bidding card. His voice carried a hint of unquestionable determination.
Luo Feng knew that if this continued, they would not be able to win.
He turned to look at Zhao Jiang and Liang Zihan, signaling them to get ready.
Zhao Jiang nodded and said softly,” I’m ready.’”‘
Liang Zihan also made an affirmative gesture.
Feng Luo decided to make a final gamble. He raised his bidding card and said firmly and powerfully,” 15 million!”
For a moment, the entire auction hall fell silent. Everyone looked at Luo Feng with their mouths agape.
The middle-aged gentleman and the young woman looked incredulous, as if they had not expected someone to bid at such a high price.
The auctioneer was also stunned on the spot. After a long while, he came back to his senses and announced,” 15 million! Someone has bid 15 million!”
Luo Feng secretly rejoiced in his heart. This was their final trump card. If they failed this auction, they would completely lose that precious treasure map.
At the same time, he knew that the current situation was very dangerous. The members of the Universal Guard were very likely to have sensed their existence.
The young woman finally reacted and smiled coldly.” 16 million!”
Luo Feng’s heart sank to the bottom. They had already reached their limit. It would be risky to raise the price again.
He took a deep breath and looked up at the treasure map, praying that he would succeed.
“16 million, someone bids 16 million! “The auctioneer announced.
Luo Feng’s eyes were as firm as iron. He knew that this moment would decide everything.
He looked at Zhao Jiang and Liang Zihan. Their eyes were filled with anticipation and determination.
“17 million! “Luo Feng raised the bid for the last time. His voice resounded throughout the entire auction hall like thunder.
The young woman frowned, clearly not expecting Luo Feng to be so tenacious.
The middle-aged gentleman was silent for a moment before he finally put down his bidding card, indicating that he would withdraw from the competition.
Feng Luo was delighted, but he could not let his guard down. He knew that this was only the first step.
The young woman snorted coldly and put down her bidding card. However, her gaze was still locked on Luo Feng, as if she had developed a strong interest in him.
The auctioneer knocked on the gavel.” 17 million. This treasure map is sold to this gentleman!”
Feng Luo heaved a sigh of relief, but he knew that the next mission was the most important. They had to ensure the safety of the treasure map and leave this auction as soon as possible.
The young woman approached Feng Luo. Her gaze was still sharp.”
Congratulations. This treasure map must be of special value to you.’”‘
Luo Feng smiled.” Thank you.”
Liang Zihan and Zhao Jiang also walked over. They carefully put away the treasure map and prepared to leave quickly.
After the auction ended, Luo Feng, Zhao Jiang, and Liang Zihan immediately found a quiet corner and sat down to discuss their next plan.
Luo Feng had mixed feelings. Although they had successfully obtained the first half of the treasure map, this was only the beginning.
He knew that solving the mystery of the treasure map would be a huge challenge, and they had to be vigilant at all times, because there might be more competitors tracking their whereabouts.
Zhao Jiang tried to use humor to ease the atmosphere. He smiled and said,”
This auction is really thrilling. Feng Luo, you’re simply a natural auctioneer!”
Luo Feng smiled.” Actually, I’m a little worried too. After all, our funds are limited and we almost failed.”
Liang Zihan said seriously,” The most important thing now is to protect the treasure map. We can’t let others find out that we have the complete map.”
