The auctioneer was stunned for a moment. This kind of situation is really rare at the auction site.
However, there are indeed such rules in the auction house, because there were cases where someone made random bids before, so the auctioneer stopped the auction and waited for the staff to verify the funds of Claire.
The staff kept lingering in front of the door of Claire's private room, not daring to open the door and go in.
It wasn't until the person in charge of the auction arrived that the staff breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure was no longer on them.
"What's going on? Does it take that long to verify funds?" the person in charge said with a bad look on his face.
The staff immediately handed over the information and whispered, "It shows that this is Lady Sophia's box. Although the person who came in is not her, the person who has the invitation from Lady Sophia must have a special relationship with her..."
The person in charge's eyes twitched, Sophia... That's a boss on the same level as the boss behind him. He doesn't seem worthy.
"What should I do?" the staff member asked.
The person in charge glared at the man, "What should we do?! Let's go, what should we do!"
"No more verification?"
"Verification is nothing. It's only 8 million. The money flowing out from Lady Sophia's fingers is more than this. Will the distinguished guest who comes with her invitation be short of this little money? If we go in to verify the funds, if we offend the big shot inside, it will be over. Let's leave quickly!"
The staff who stayed outside the door walked away without even entering, and then reported the results to the auctioneer.
After receiving the news, the auctioneer took a deep look in the direction of the box where Claire was located, then took a deep breath and shouted, "No problem, this distinguished guest has very abundant funds."
When Count Hawk heard this sentence again, his body seemed to have been drained of strength. He sat back on the sofa limply and murmured, "Could it be that the 7.38 million just was just to tease me? After giving me hope, I fell deeply into despair... Do big people like to play with others that much?"
"Eight and a half million!" Hawke shouted still unwilling to give up.
"Nine million!" Claire also shouted out.
The guests below were all stunned. Nine million, nine million, you can't spend it all in a lifetime!
They can still be considered superior if they can enter the auction, but with nine million Gold Coins, most of them may not earn that much money in their lifetime.
"Fuck! It's not like I haven't seen Life Potion auctioned before. Even this price is too outrageous."
"Yes, it's not like I haven't seen the previous ones. They all ended at about five million, which is almost double."
"Count Hawk I can understand offering so much money, but why is that person over there willing to offer so much money?"
"Who knows, maybe this little money is just fun in his eyes."
The people below were commenting, but little did they know that Claire's heart was bleeding. Damn it, he was in debt for more than 5 million yuan when he came out. After selling the minerals, his income was reduced by a large amount. Shane didn't know how long it would take to pay off the 3 million yuan.
Claire rubbed his face. He had suffered a huge loss, which had completely affected the development of Nafu City.
But things have progressed to this point. It would be a pity if you stopped and didn't buy it. Anyway, if you have a lot of debt, you don't have to worry.
"Ten million Gold Coins!" Count Hawk almost gritted his teeth and said this number. This is the largest amount he has ever obtained. If it is any more, he will not be able to make the decision.
"Ten million and ten thousand Gold Coins." Claire said calmly. He was not the one who took advantage of him and spent less money.
"You, you, you!" Count Hawk pointed at Claire and was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He quickly looked around himself, calculated the amount of the accessories he was wearing, and shouted loudly, "Ten million and twenty thousand Gold Coins!"
"Ten million and thirty thousand Gold Coins!"
Hawke covered his heart, "Ten million and forty thousand Gold Coins!"
"No matter how much money he pays, I will pay 10,000 Gold Coins more than him!" Claire also shouted.
"Ahem! You!" Count Hawk almost vomited blood on the spot.
"Both of you!" the auctioneer stopped them in time, "Every time the price increases, at least 100,000 Gold Coins."
"Ten million and one hundred thousand Gold Coins." Claire was the first to speak.
Hawke in the box opened his mouth, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, and dropped his hand pointing at Claire. After a while, he replied, "I gave up..."
On the other side, Claire, who won, was not happy, and even began to wonder whether it was worth it. After mortgaging the minerals, the development of Nafu City would have to stagnate for a long time at least, and what he got in exchange was a Cultivation Method that could not bring in profits quickly.
"It's bad, but you've already bought it, so don't think too much about it." Claire took a deep breath and comforted himself.
The auctioneer also looked back and forth between the two boxes. After confirming that Count Hawk would no longer bid, he slowly raised the auction hammer in his hand...
Claire also returned to the sofa and slumped in, waiting for the auction hammer to sound and the deal to be concluded.
"Fifteen million!" An inappropriate voice suddenly sounded.
Claire, who had just sat on the sofa, suddenly jumped up again, quickly walked to the glass and lay down on it, looking in the direction of the sound.
Although he felt it was not worth it just now, when someone suddenly stepped in, Claire still felt a sense of crisis in his heart. The potion he was about to get was intercepted by someone.
After confirming the direction, Claire was slightly startled. The person who made the sound was the auctioneer who spent more than five million to buy Willie Sword Saint's Sword. The box he was in was of the same level as Sophia's box.
"Who is that?" Claire turned to look at Shane and asked.
Shane was also a little dazed. He didn't expect that someone would spend fifteen million to buy this potion. He finally realized it after being pushed a few times by Claire.
He shook his head and said, "I can't tell right now. The voice sounds familiar but I can't remember it, but it must be a noble from the royal capital."
"Fuck!" Claire cursed, and it felt really uncomfortable to be cut off halfway.
"Do you still have money?" Shane asked.
"No, even if you mortgage the minerals, the total money won't reach fifteen million!" Claire spread his hands helplessly.
Shane patted Claire on the shoulder and comforted, "It's okay, at least you don't have to be in debt."
"I can only comfort myself like this." A rare melancholy appeared on Claire's face, "Sure enough, there are many rich people in the capital, and they can easily spend more than ten million without blinking an eye."
However, Claire is still a little unwilling in his heart. Human psychology is so strange. When he was about to win, he felt a little worthless, and now when he is about to lose, he feels unwilling.
When the auctioneer saw that there was no movement from Claire for a long time, he raised the auction mallet in his hand and was about to smash it on the wooden platform below with a smile on his face. He could earn a commission of more than 100,000 yuan from this transaction!
"Congratulations to this gentleman, you have won..."
"Wait!" Claire suddenly shouted, he was still unwilling to give in!
This roar almost made Shane on the side fall to the ground in shock, with a look of horror on his face. I have no problem with you calling me, but can you not be so sudden! My heart almost jumped out.
The auctioneer's hammer, which was about to fall, also stopped in mid-air. "What's wrong?"
"I have a treasure, let's see how much it's worth!"
