Chapter 13 (1/2)

The auction soon began. The first item was the Heart of the Ocean.

After all, the auction needed a good start. The good items were placed at the front or the back.

The auctioneer didn’t say anything on the stage. They were all wealthy people and didn’t need the auctioneer to explain anything. It was a waste of everyone’s time.

“The first item to be auctioned is the Heart of the Ocean with a long history but it’s not the one on the Titanic. Don’t be scared.”

Laughter came from the auction area.

Everyone knew that the present diamond “Hope” weighs 45.52 Carats and had an extremely rare dark blue color. It is said that not only is it beautiful blue but it also seems to emit a vicious glow. This may be because, in its fog-like history, it is filled with peculiar and tragic experiences. It always brings an irresistible nightmare to its owner. Who would dare to buy it?

“The starting price is 100 million. Everyone, let’s see who will possess such a precious item today.”

Soon, the numbers on the monitor started rolling.

150 million. The number started to slow down and gradually froze.

A fat man with a large gem in his hand hugged his female companion and said intimately.

“Baby, this gem will soon be yours.”

His female companion was also very happy and said.

“Hubby, are you really willing to buy it for me? I like you so much!”

As he said that, she hugged the man and gave him a kiss. The fat man was also very happy. He had chased this woman for the sake of kissing her. When he thought of this, the man’s lower body felt hot. He wished he could have a big fight with this woman right here.

Suddenly, the number that should have been fixed began to roll. When it reached 160 million, the fat man’s expression started to turn ugly. He had brought 300 million this time not only for this treasure but also for an item that he had to obtain. If it was less than 150 million, he might not be able to obtain it. This matter was personally instructed by the Lord and he could not afford to lose it.

The fat man had no choice but to raise the bid by another one million. However, as soon as he raised the bid, someone else followed suit. This made him a little hesitant but the woman beside him kept saying good things, making him a little irritated. Then, he thought about how terrifying the Lord was.

He immediately stopped what he was doing. He knew that if he didn’t complete the mission given by that person, he would die an ugly death. Although this woman was very important, it was nothing compared to his life.

Weiss saw that the number had stopped at 160 million and nodded with satisfaction. It didn’t exceed his own budget, so he could still have 90 million left and he could also get one or two items.

The woman in red was a bit surprised. Did Weiss come to the auction for the Heart of the Ocean?

However, Weiss didn’t know what that woman was thinking, so he continued to look at the auction items.

The auctioneer continued to shout out the items for auction. The Qing Dynasty’s blue and white porcelain, ancient relics and even the armor from the Crusade were all useless items in Weiss’s eyes.

It wasn’t until the auctioneer came on stage with a golden scepter that Weiss suddenly realized.
