The elderly host was clearly a shrewd one as well. Knowing that many people had begun to take an interest, he smiled and explained, "This is the Tear of Love Necklace, undoubtedly one of the finest accessories. The starting bid is 5,000 Gold Coins. Let the bidding begin. It will go to the highest bidder—let's see who the lucky one is."
Although the starting price of 5,000 Gold Coins was not particularly high, someone immediately raised it to 6,000. Moreover, like those divine artifacts, the price continued to soar, only gradually settling down once it reached 11,000 Gold Coins. Though the Water Heart Necklace was beautiful, there was no need to spend so much gold on it. Besides, there might be even better accessories later on, so there was no reason to hang oneself from the same tree.
"Thirty thousand Gold Coins!" a voice suddenly called out.
The venue fell silent. The price had suddenly more than doubled, and everyone turned toward the source of the voice. It had come from VIP Room No. 1.
Thirty thousand Gold Coins far exceeded the necklace's actual value. Everyone merely sighed at how wealthy the bidder was; no one continued to raise the price.
The old man struck the auction hammer three times, smiling as he announced loudly to the entire auction hall, "Haha, this truly is unexpected! I never thought the Tear of Love Necklace could be sold for such a high price. I believe Master Li Yena can rest without regrets now. In that case, the Tear of Love Necklace belongs to the gentleman in VIP Room No. 1."
Now that the Tear of Love Necklace had found its owner, the auction hall fell quiet again. There were still many more items to be presented, and everyone was eagerly anticipating them.
