Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment

Chapter 1884: What Is Going On?

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At this moment, even the slowest elite reacted.

The first time was a coincidence!

Could it be a coincidence that it happened twice?

When John Lee took the initiative to express goodwill, Argyll Hanson ignored him.

Although he didn’t directly express his malice toward John Lee, Argyll Hanson’s hint was too obvious.

For a moment, many elites distanced themselves from John Lee.

Even those celebrities who had wanted to spend thousands of pounds to befriend John Lee because he was sitting in the fifth seat had given up.

In Fog City.

In the Sun Never Sets Empire.

After offending someone on the level of Argyll Hanson, it could be said that John Lee’s future here would be difficult.

“Gulp!”

John Lee was stunned.

Logically speaking, he had just arrived in Sun Never Sets and did not know Argyll Hanson at all, let alone offend him. There should not be any conflict at all.

Moreover, based on his understanding, Argyll Hanson, Anjou Prince, and the other noble offspring were all about rules and self-restraint. They couldn’t suppress him for no reason.

What was the situation now?

Could it be…

Was it because he was too high-profile and flamboyant that Argyll Hanson did not like him?

John Lee felt as if he had been enlightened.

After all, they were the second generation of aristocrats. What they cared about the most was their reputation. If he were to be so high-profile here today, wouldn’t he be stealing their limelight?

Thinking of this, John Lee, who seemed to have found the right direction, put away his placard and smiled humbly in Argyll Hanson’s direction. “Since you like it, Young Master Argyll Hanson, I’ll give up.”

After saying that, John Lee quickly returned to his seat.

However, Argyll Hanson still has not said anything.

This undoubtedly confirmed the guesses of the elites present.

As for John Lee, his thoughts were wandering.

He thought he understood why Argyll Hanson was targeting him, so he decided to change his strategy.

The first two times, he had already demonstrated his wealth to the celebrities present.

Next.

He planned to only bid for ordinary collections so as not to steal the limelight from Argyll Hanson and the others.

“Guest number three bids 6.05 million Sun Never Setting pounds!”

The auctioneer’s expression remained the same. He continued to shout loudly. “May I know if there are any higher bids?!”

“6.05 million going once! 6.05 million going twice! 6.05 million going three times!”

“Bang!”

The auctioneer knocked the hammer down and smiled at Argyll Hanson, who was in VIP Room 3. “Congratulations, distinguished VIP in Room 3, for winning this skull crystal for 6.05 million. A staff member will contact you later to hand it over!”

This item’s auction ended.

The attendant brought over another item.

This was a bronze mirror from the Edo period of Japan. The starting price was 200,000. John Lee wanted to raise his placard, but he thought about it and put it down.

He was worried that Argyll Hanson would misunderstand if he followed suit.

Hence.

The bronze mirror was sold for 270,000 yuan.

The bronze mirror was removed.

Another item was sent up.

“This is a Brahma Divine Form from India,” the auctioneer introduced. “It was originally worshipped by a southern tribe. A few years ago, the tribe leader brought it out.”

“According to the research.”

“This wooden statue has been worshipped by the tribe for more than 300 years. The statue is 1.4 feet tall and weighs 7.3 pounds. It was carved from a whole piece of lobular rosewood. The craftsmanship is exquisite and vivid. The details are rich and the statue is solemn.”

“The starting price is two million Sun Never Setting pounds. Each increase in bid must not be lower than ten thousand. Starting now…”

“2.01 million!”

“2.03 million!”@@novelbin@@

“2.04 million!”

“…”

Hearing the bids, John Lee hesitated for a moment and then stood up. However, halfway through, he felt that it was too conspicuous, so he simply sat back down.

Then, he quietly raised his placard.

“2.1 million!”

John Lee didn’t even dare to raise the price. He only added 20,000 to the previous bidder’s price.

After bidding, he secretly glanced in the direction of Argyll Hanson.

In fact.

When everyone saw John Lee’s bid.

The elites present stopped bidding.

They looked in the direction of Argyll Hanson’s private room.

They were also waiting for Argyll Hanson’s reaction.

If Argyll Hanson didn’t care, it meant that he wasn’t deliberately targeting John Lee, and there was no deep hatred between the two of them.

However, if Argyll Hanson attacked again, then it would be as they thought.

Just as everyone was thinking this, Argyll Hanson’s lazy voice came from the second floor.
