Chapter 1308: Chapter 1307: Boom Robbery Jiang Fan was surprised, he hadn’t expected the Jewelry King, an authority in the jewelry community, to actually start bidding. And to jump from twenty million to fifty million in one go! This suggested that the jade pendant was no ordinary piece. He was about to continue bidding. However, at that moment, Xiao Ya spoke up, "I bid one billion!" Jiang Fan: ??? What’s going on, President Xiao Ya, actually wanting to spend a billion to snap up this jade pendant? Before he could finish being surprised, another person spoke out. It was Wu Ming. He shouted, "Two billion!" Followed by He Sihai placing his bid. "Three billion!" Then other major players followed suit and placed their bids. "Four billion!" "Five billion!" "..." Jiang Fan was completely numb. He really hadn’t expected that this jade pendant could provoke such a fierce rush amongst these heavyweights. As one of the Capital Eight Young Masters, he naturally had considerable wealth. But after all, he wasn’t the helm of the Jiang Family. He was just a Young Master. Compared with real clan leaders like Wu Ming, He Sihai, and Xiao Ya, he stood no chance. For him to spend billions to auction a pendant, he simply couldn’t produce that much cash at once. Moreover, with the way the bidding was going, a few billion wouldn’t be enough to take it. "What’s the deal with this pendant, anyway? Does it have some unique features that make Xiao Ya, Wu Ming, He Sihai, the Jewelry King and others vie for it so eagerly...?" Jiang Fan didn’t understand. Feng Shanshan and Sherry exchanged glances. Then Feng Shanshan said, "It seems the person who crafted this pendant is truly a top-tier jade master." "A pendant that can fetch such an astronomical price. I wonder who crafted it." Sherry was also full of admiration; today was truly an eye-opener for her. Meanwhile, the price of that jade pendant continued to skyrocket. The Jewelry King shouted, "I bid ten billion!" The price had reached ten billion. But clearly, the bidding showed no signs of stopping. He Sihai shouted, "Fifteen billion!" Bidding up a billion at a time seemed too troublesome. So, he increased his bid by five billion at once. The others quickly followed. Xiao Ya bid, "Twenty billion!" Wu Ming bid, "Twenty-five billion!" "It seems they also know that this is a spiritual device capable of averting disaster," the Jewelry King sighed. It really was going to cost a lot to take it down. But thinking about the effects of that pendant, which was a spiritual device, he didn’t want to just hand it over to someone else. So, he bid again, "Thirty billion!" But immediately, the price was driven up again. "Thirty-five billion." "Forty billion!" "Forty-five billion!" "Fifty billion!" "..." The price had reached a staggering fifty billion. Those who were in the dark were all perplexed; a jade article had fetched a sky-high price of fifty billion, an unprecedented event in the history of jewelry auctions. "What’s going on? Although the pendant is made of Imperial Green glass type jade, it shouldn’t command such a high price, should it? Fifty billion, that’s simply a sky-high price!" "But these are billionaires, and they aren’t fools, are they? Since they dare to offer such a price, it shows that this pendant really is extraordinary!" "But I really can’t see what makes it worth that price!" "..." Everyone discussed it, unable to comprehend why a pendant could be worth fifty billion. Jiang Fan was also stunned. Even as a Young Master from a Wealthy Family like himself, he had never seen such a spectacle. He had thought about bidding for it to give to Tang Mu. But he really wasn’t up to it! Six billion, where could he possibly find that amount? This trip to Demon City had indeed been a blow to him. Originally, he wanted to top the charts for Tang Mu, but then an account called ’Lin Bei’ appeared and directly rewarded Tang Mu with 20.2 billion. That loose change alone was comparable to him. Now, he wanted to acquire the highlight of the Jewelry Exhibition to give to Tang Mu. But he couldn’t afford it! Fifty billion, he would have to sell all his shares in the family clan to possibly make a bid. But, of course, he wasn’t a fool. Naturally, he wouldn’t do that! "Sixty billion!" In the end, the pendant was won by the Jewelry King for sixty billion! That was also the highest price the Jewelry King had internally pre-estimated. If it went any higher, even he couldn’t bear it. However, Xiao Ya, Wu Ming, He Sihai and the others had also reached their limit. They too gave up at that moment. In the end, the pendant was sold for the astronomical price of sixty billion. Seeing this, the Jewelry King finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although it cost sixty billion to acquire it, despite the high price, in the end, he got it. So, he was still quite happy. Having bought the pendant, the entire Jewelry Exhibition came to a complete end. He returned to the VIP seat, where Xiao Ya, Wu Ming, He Sihai, and others congratulated him, raising their fists respectfully: "Boss Dong, congratulations. In the end, it was you who bought the pendant." "Hahaha..." The Jewelry King Dong Tiancheng smiled lightly and then asked, "It seems you too know the extraordinary qualities of this pendant?" "Of course, we all know who crafted this pendant. We know who endowed it with its unique efficacy," said He Sihai at that moment. "Oh?" Hearing this, the faces of the Jewelry King Dong Tiancheng and Master Salong changed. Master Salong couldn’t help but lower his voice and ask, "May I know who this prestigious person is, who crafted this Jade Amulet Pendant?" "This is a spiritual device, after all, with the ability to avert disasters!" Xiao Ya, Wu Ming, and He Sihai didn’t keep it from them. Wu Ming replied, "It’s none other than Master Lin!" "Hisss~~~" Hearing it was Master Lin, both the Jewelry King Dong Tiancheng and Master Salong involuntarily inhaled sharply. They were extremely shocked. "This Master Lin is truly a rare genius. Now I’m even more eager to meet him," said the Jewelry King Dong Tiancheng. Master Salong also muttered, "Such a person is like a true god. Later, I must meet him with all due respect!" The two were full of admiration, their reverence for Master Lin reaching its peak.
