Chapter 1710: Chapter 1741: Filthy Rich and Willful
Yang Chen had a smile on his lips, not expecting the other party to be so accommodating, giving him such an opportunity to show off his wealth.
As soon as he said those words, the cultivators in the entire venue were shocked beyond measure.
What did they just hear?
One hundred million!
The elder of the Wang Family was still playing in the range of twenty to thirty million, yet the mysterious youth on the second floor went straight to one hundred million, how could anyone compete with that?
That kind of wealth is equivalent to the entire assets of a medium-sized family, maybe even more.
“Young man, what did you say?”
In the Wang Family’s private box, the elder’s face showed astonishment, this figure seemed like a joke to him.
One hundred million in high-grade Rare Earth resources is equivalent to ten million in superb Rare Earth, who could possibly produce that much?
Even if the Wang Family wanted to take out that much at once, they would have to sell off some assets first.
“I said, I bid one hundred million.”
“Surely no one else will bid against me now, right?”
“I like to keep things swift.”
Yang Chen said plainly.
“Little brother, you can eat recklessly but can’t speak recklessly; this is an auction house, not child’s play, not just any price can be quoted.”
“Do you have the ability to just bid one hundred million?”
“Immortal Wang, shouldn’t we verify the funds in such a situation?”
In another private box on the second floor, someone spoke up, not expecting Yang Chen to actually produce one hundred million, treating this figure as a joke was to disrespect the auction house.
On stage, Immortal Wang’s face also slightly stiffened; she initially thought this young man was a wealthy scion, but now it seemed not only was the one hundred million bid in question, but the earlier price of ten million on the first auctioned item wasn’t that certain either.
Indeed, verification was needed; if there was intentional disruption affecting the auction, measures needed to be taken.
She discreetly glanced at a certain box on the second floor behind, receiving a nod from a silhouette within, and then spoke, “Please everyone, hold your peace. This truly isn’t a small figure; to ensure the authenticity of this auction and protect all cultivators’ interests, the auction house decides to verify the funds.”
“We’ll take a little of your time to have a discussion with this honored guest on the second floor.”
Immortal Wang lightly smiled, motioning for her staff, and a group of cultivators aggressively moved to the second floor; if that young man couldn’t produce resources or items worth one hundred million, they’d have to take action.
Inside the private box.
Li Xiaobai looked at Yang Chen, a bit nervous: “Senior brother, do you really have one hundred million?”
“What are you afraid of, is one hundred million really a lot? Once walking the Jianghu, I never spent money, being able to give out one hundred million this time is already being quite generous.”
Yang Chen was calm about it, facing the cold spits and mockery from other guests without any fear.
He quietly watched Immortal Wang bring a few elders with deep auras into the private room, and before they could speak, he gently raised a finger; in an instant, all the cultivators except for Li Xiaobai in the room had their knees give way and knelt on the ground.
Fear flashed in Immortal Wang’s eyes, the elder faces behind her were full of shock; their cultivation levels weren’t low, as the strong individuals looking after the auction from the Clan of the Heavenly Gods, they were all elder-level figures in the clan.
The lowest cultivation was in the Four Parts Observation Realm, and the leading elder even had a Half-Step Immortal God Realm cultivation, yet this kind of lineup faced the pressure from the young man before them and didn’t have an ounce of resistance.
This person’s strength absolutely surpassed the Immortal Gods Realm!
Perfectly suppressing them!
This was clearly not a wealthy scion from some great force, but surely a powerful cultivator disguised in the guise of a young person roaming the world.
“So, do you still question the financial power of my clan?”
Yang Chen looked at Immortal Wang and the others, his expression indifferent and asked.
Terror surged, pressing directly towards several people.
“No dare, who would have thought a senior was here, we were too blind to recognize the Mountain Tai; the senior’s skill is high and world-renowned, naturally wouldn’t break his word.”
“The auction continues, please don’t take offense, senior.”
Immortal Wang, sweating profusely, hurriedly spoke.
“This gentleman is from my family, he won’t be dwelling on it, I won’t give you a hard time either.”
“Host the auction well, you don’t need to worry about the money issues.”
Yang Chen slightly nodding to Li Xiaobai, coldly said.
“Yes, yes.”
“Understood, understood.”
Slightly bent over, several people hurriedly left the private box.
“The gentleman’s assets are clear, the auction continues. I must say, this gentleman is the wealthiest cultivator I have seen in recent years.”
“I hope this auction can form a good relationship, and there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.”
Immortal Wang spoke loudly, giving full face to Li Xiaobai and Yang Chen.
Through her words, not only did she indicate that producing one hundred million was easy, but also raised their perceived wealth to an unprecedented level.
No doubt, with a master surpassing the Immortal Gods Realm in charge, how could she hold back from praising them?
This could liken with the strength of the clan leader of the Heavenly Gods, willingly accompanies a young charge as a nanny, what kind of backing could that be?
Definitely not something these small clans in the Eastern Domain can rival, likely the cultivators are from outside.
“What!”
“No problem at all!”
“Which clan are they from, where did they pop up from?”
The elder of the Wang Family’s face was so dark it was nearly dripping water, the auction staff had only been inside for a few breaths before rushing out, extremely likely that a big figure was seated inside that box.
His words earlier had already deeply offended them.
“Go back, have the Great Elder come and visit, apologize to the young individual inside that box.”
“I spoke too harshly earlier, not suitable to appear; inform the Great Elder, definitely form a good relationship!”
The elder said firmly, he held a high position, indeed routinely arrogant, but he could tell right from wrong.
“Yes!”
Outside, the third hidden item of the auction continued.
The atmosphere became quite strange, not only were all bids cautious, even the bidding atmosphere itself turned incredibly calm, completely lacking the initial heat.
In the private box on the second floor, Li Xiaobai always felt his fourth senior brother was going to put him in a predicament.
This feeling became stronger when he was called “young master,” clearly having ulterior motives in inexplicably boosting his status.
In his memories, the fourth senior brother was charming, gentle, and suave, should not cause problems.
“I’ll take this one, one million.”
Yang Chen spoke again, once more quoting a million high price.
In an instant, silence fell, and no one continued to bid, everyone had an unspoken agreement to stop holding their bid cards.
From then on, all the auctioned items were swept into Yang Chen’s pockets.
The only sound in the auction hall came from that young man’s voice:
“I’ll bid one million.”
“Two million, I’m taking it.”
“Three million, wrap it up.”
“What, you’re bidding four million, well I’m bidding ten million.”
Occasionally someone encountered a favorite item and wanted to bid, but that devilish whisper made them very scared.
This master throws out millions without hesitation, it’s terrifying beyond belief, no way to auction properly.
If he felt they were intentionally raising prices, and blamed them for it, they would be in big trouble.
