Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment

Chapter 1883: Was It a Coincidence?

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

John Lee took the initiative to smile and said, “There’s an old saying in our Dragon Country. A gentleman has the beauty of helping others. Since Young Master Argyll Hanson has also taken a fancy to this jade Buddha, I’ll give up!”

As he spoke, he bowed in the direction of Argyll Hanson.

Seeing this, all the elites present laughed.

No one felt that John Lee had anything to be ashamed of. After all, if they were in his shoes, they wouldn’t offend Argyll Hanson, the Third Young Master of Fog City, for a jade Buddha.

However, in the face of John Lee’s goodwill.

Argyll Hanson acted as if he did not hear him and did not say anything.@@novelbin@@

John Lee was a little embarrassed.

The expressions of some elites became even more subtle.

The auctioneer smiled wryly.

However, the auction price of this jade Buddha had long exceeded his expectations, so he did not feel too much pressure. Even so, the auctioneer still dutifully made the final inquiry.

“Guest number three has offered 5.05 million. Any higher bids?”

“Looks like there’s no higher price!”

“5.05 million going once!” The auctioneer laughed when he saw that no one answered. “5.05 million going twice!” “5.05 million going three times!”

“Bang!”

“Deal!”

“Congratulations to distinguished guest number three for winning this high-grade Hetian Jade Buddha for 5.05 million. A staff member will contact you later to hand it over!”

“Next!”

“Let’s continue the auction!”

“The next collection, the Jun Porcelain of the Song Dynasty of the Dragon Country…”

Following the auctioneer’s words, a few attendants brought up a few more items. It had to be said that the Cohen Auction House was indeed very thoughtful, and the items they brought up were all the best of the best.

Soon, the auction had passed the second half.

As an elite bid 980,000 for an ancient Egyptian ox god sculpture, all the elites present stared at the small cart pushed up behind the auctioneer.

At this moment, the cart was covered in red silk.

Seeing this, the auctioneer laughed.

“Everyone is impatient!”

“Alright then!”

The auctioneer nodded at the attendant behind him and smiled. “We will now bring out our second peerless item of the day. It is a crystal skull from the ancient Mayan civilization!”

As the auctioneer spoke, an attendant pulled off the red silk.

A jade-green crystal skull appeared in front of everyone.

At this moment, a beam of light shone down. Under the light, the crystal skull emitted a dazzling light.

There was a hint of mystery in the brilliance.

For a moment, everyone was mesmerized.

“Everyone!”

“Let the auction begin!”

“A jade-green crystal skull from the ancient Mayans. It’s said that it belonged to the last Mayan high priest. The auction will begin now. The starting price is 3.5 million Sun Never Setting pounds. Each bid increase must be no less than 500,000!”

“Bang!”

As the auctioneer finished speaking.

“3.6 million!”

“3.65 million!”

“3.8 million!”

In the blink of an eye, four or five elites had raised their placards. This skull was a rare jade green color, which was very valuable for collectors. Moreover, this skull also had a sense of mystery.

For the nobles of Sun Never Sets, this kind of thing was simply a natural topic to brag about at daily gatherings.

Soon, the price of the crystal skull exceeded four million Sun Never Setting pounds!

At this moment, John Lee stood up again, raised his placard high, and shouted, “I bid 6 million!” Then, John Lee said with a smile. “I really like this thing.”

Hearing this offer.

The elites at the scene looked at each other.

Six million was too high. This skull was worth five million Sun Never Setting pounds at most. Of course, the price wasn’t a problem. They were more concerned about whether it was worth it to offend John Lee, who was sitting in the fifth seat.

Up until now, they still hadn’t figured out John Lee’s background.

“Guest number five has bid 6 million!”

Unlike the other elites, the auctioneer was all smiles when he heard the bid of six million, which was far beyond his expectations. His voice was raised several octaves. “Is there a higher bid from the guests present?!”

“Anyone else?”

“Everyone, this is a rare jade-green crystal skull!”

“Six million going once!”

“Six million going twice!”

“Everyone!”

“Are you really going to give up?”

The auctioneer raised his hammer and asked again. John Lee was in a pose, ready to leave a deep impression on the elites present. He had to make sure that the six million was not wasted.

However, at this moment.

Argyll Hanson’s voice came from VIP Room 3 again. “6.05 million!”

Boom!

Hearing this voice.

The auctioneer was stunned.

The elites at the scene immediately exploded.

“What!?”

“Young Master Argyll Hanson has made his move again. He has made a minimum bid increase on No. 5’s bid just like before. Could it be that Young Master Argyll Hanson is dissatisfied with VIP No. 5?!”

“Maybe it’s a coincidence!”

“Coincidence?! Do you believe your own words?”
