Chapter 756 - "Super Sky-high Price"
Chapter 756 - "Super Sky-high Price"
Ainsley stroked the tiny pearl-like stone as big as her pinky finger on the red pillow before scanning her gaze over the excited guests.
"The base price is equal to a million dollars. The bidding shall start now."
Even after Ainsley said that, the guests were still too shocked to react.
Jake and others from the big guilds, even the head of the Walter Family, Evan Walter, were visibly shaken to the core.
They looked at Ainsley with wide eyes and beating hearts.
This child! How the heck did she find an Inheritance Stone?!
Doesn't she know that this kind of stone has only existed in legends, and one won't even see such a stone for a decade?
But now she suddenly auctioned such a precious stone! Is she an idiot? Why won't she use the stone for herself?
The elders in her family have brilliant abilities. They can at least give the ability to her or other young generations through the Inheritance Stone!
Even the five high-ranking families of Ainsley's close friends were dumbfounded.
They knew that their precious heirs made friends with this baby mafia boss, and that's why they're also friendly to the Sloan Family.
Anyway, the baby was proven to be a good influence on their kids. They didn't mind helping and protecting the Sloan Family, who wasn't a high-ranking family yet.
But they didn't think the baby would be so dumb as not to use the Inheritance Stone for her family!
Unless...she had more than one?
If these people could think like this, how come the rest of the big shots at the auction site couldn't see the truth?
More than one Inheritance Stone...this baby is hiding a great secret!
Some people have already started to think of malicious schemes to dig out the truth, but Ainsley's potential allies had already thought of a way to protect the baby.
Even if they wanted to know the secret, too, they believed that as long as they were good to Ainsley, they would naturally reap the same benefit.
At the same time, those watching the live auction were also astonished.
The big media had already published the shocking news of the Inheritance Stone's sudden appearance, instantly boosting the live auction's viewer by tenfold.
The broadcasting platform almost crashed from too much traffic rushing to them!
At the same time, the big bosses and powerful forces who didn't attend the auction were all stunned before hurriedly making plans or discussing things with their people.
We have to get this Inheritance Stone! And we have to invite the little baby to know whether she has more stones or not!
In that instant, the platform's special comment section for those who wanted to bid for the items was suddenly flooded with comments.
[The Luan Family bid the stone with a low-grade elixir worth five million dollars!]
[The Chane Family offers a legendary indestructible weapon worth ten million dollars!]
[The Bale Family– ]
[The Frain Family ??? ]
Countless verified accounts started to flood the comments, fighting fiercely to obtain the stone and their comments were announced to those on site every single second.
"The Delan Family offers their secret heirloom potion recipe worth 30 million dollars."
The staff at the auction hall announced the bids from the online bidding one by one as if wanting to taunt those on the site.
Of course, the moment the online bidders made a move, the guests on-site immediately started to bid fiercely.
"The Sela Family offers a baby Kraken worth 50 million dollars!"
A kraken is a legendary beast from another continent and is so rare that no humans have ever seen them.
The Kraken belongs to the underwater races, but now...one of the guests offered a precious baby kraken in exchange for the Inheritance Stone.
Fifty million dollars!
Oh, God!
However, the other guests didn't seem to be too affected, and one by one, they started to offer everything they had.
Even the elders at home didn't stop their leaders' actions of wanting to obtain the Inheritance Stone.
Even if their ability wasn't categorised as a mental-based ability, they had many older generations with a formidable mental-based ability.
If they could obtain the stone and let the younger generation inherit the ability before the elderly passed away, their family's line would continue to be strong for at least another four decades!
What's the use of a baby kraken who needs so much nurturing and resources compared to a stone that could let their family thrive for another forty or so years?
Realising the stone's value once more, the guests, both on-site and online, immediately wage war toward each other.
The price was soaring so fast that by now, the price had already reached five billion dollars.
God. Five billion!
Jake and the others had also bid for the stone, and by now, only some of the strongest, richest and most influential families in the entire country still bid for the stone.
After all, an item worth five billion dollars was hard to find, okay?
Not everyone could afford it, even when they had billion dollars at home or had countless 7-coloured energy crystals.
After all, Ainsley didn't need money or energy crystals anymore. What she wanted was naturally unique items that could help her family to remain powerful.
In the end, the price reached ten billion dollars and only Jake and the government's side were still fighting for the stone.
As the number one businessman in this country, Jake was naturally rich.
The government was also worthy of being the government. They're also rich thanks to the taxes collected years by year and the country's business.
However, in the end, the government did have a lot of money but lacked precious items worth that much money….
