In the bustling hall below, the crowd called out their bids with gusto. Upstairs in the ten private rooms, the bidding gradually began to heat up. But the style of those in the private rooms was more extravagant—when the bid for the national general’s seal reached 4 million, someone in private room No. 5 directly placed a hefty bid of 5 million through the bidding device in their room.

In the private room where Xu Fan was situated, Zhao Dong heard this bid of 5 million and felt a shock in his heart, he then remarked to Xu Fan, “Damn, such a piece of metal, and it’s actually reached the outrageous price of 5 million. The tycoons of Zhonghai City really are numerous!”

Xu Fan’s lips curled, but he remained silent.

Primarily because this bronze seal held no value to him, otherwise, not to mention 5 million, he could have afforded even 50 million.

It was only the first item up for auction with many more to come. Among the ten private rooms, only one had placed a bid so far. The tycoons in the remaining rooms were still silently observing, indicating that their targets weren’t set on this seal.

In private room No. 2, the young Master Qin Haowen relaxed with his legs crossed, indulging in the special service provided exclusively to esteemed guests in the private room—a service the average person couldn’t enjoy. If there weren’t others present in the room, Qin Haowen would have already showcased his man’s “unique skills” and thoroughly conquered this woman by now, but he could only settle for more regular services at the moment.

“Ha ha, just some scrap iron with a hole in it, yet those country bumpkins below are bidding so eagerly. They probably have no idea what the real highlight of this auction is!” Qin Haowen said disdainfully as he watched the crowd below.

“Young Master, it’s only because our Qin Family has such extensive connections that we were able to learn about the inside scoop of today’s auction early on. Those riff-raff below are merely here to make a fuss and add to the commotion. The true treasures, they don’t deserve to own!” Zhao Dong’s sidekick, Zhang Qiang, said with obsequious flattery.

“Ha ha, once I get my hands on the final treasure, our Qin Family will be able to look down on the entire Zhonghai. By then, that bitch Xu Yixue will have no choice but to obediently come to my bed!” Qin Haowen, looking at Xu Yixue in the middle of the hall, showed a strong desire to possess her.

“Ha ha, you’re right, Master. Once you’ve got the treasure, that sassy girl will have no chance of escaping from the palm of your hand,” Zhang Qiang pandered with another round of flattery.

“Ha ha ha ha ha…”

A string of wild laughter echoed from private room No. 2.

In the hall, Xu Yixue listened to the waves of bidding calls amongst the crowd and secretly marveled—although the bronze seal was precious, it didn’t seem to be worth millions. The fervor of the surrounding bidders just showed how high-caliber the auction was.

“Sister Yixue, should we also shout out a bid? We’ve come all this way, it would be a shame not to participate in the bidding, right?” Ye Xiaoning winked at Xu Yixue with mischievous intent.

“Xiao Ning, look at their bids, reaching into the millions so easily, almost the equivalent of our company’s monthly profits. If I had that kind of money, I would rather invest it to develop the company. What’s the use of having such a heavy piece of metal!” Xu Yixue pouted.

“Ha ha, I was just teasing you. If you really were going to buy, I might have had to stop you,” Ye Xiaoning stick out her tongue and said to Xu Yixue.

“Xiao Ning, let’s continue to watch and treat it as gaining some experience.”

“Alright!”

Two minutes later, the gilded bronze seal of the town-guarding general was finally bought by a real estate developer for six million. His eyes were brimming with joy, and since he wasn’t a collector but a businessman, he planned to use this bronze seal as a gift. As long as he could please the powerful official managing his projects, the six million spent was well worth it.

Such a majestic and authoritative seal was something that only a true person in power would appreciate.

When the first item on the auction went for a whopping six million, it immediately ignited everyone’s enthusiasm, and as soon as the front row developer had completed the procedures, the crowd turned towards the stage with fervent anticipation.

Although they had missed out on the first item, surely there would be something for them in the following lots—this was what many were thinking.

Another spotlight shone down, and the woman in the cheongsam stepped up again, holding a wooden tray.

Elder Wang took the tray from her, lifting the silk satin cover to reveal a pristine white porcelain wine pot before everyone’s eyes.

“Everyone, take a good look. This set of porcelain is from a Song Dynasty official kiln featuring a Nine-Dragon white porcelain pot. The body is coated in a white glaze with nine dragons painted onto it, and the handle is designed as a lifelike dragon. In ancient times, the concept of hierarchy was very strict, and except for the reigning emperor, no one dared to use items with dragon patterns or shapes—so I need not elaborate on who would have used this wine pot,” Elder Wang carefully examined the pure and jade-like wine pot, clicking his tongue in amazement.

“Wow, a wine pot used by emperors in the past! If I could drink from this pot, wouldn’t that be an imperial indulgence?”

“It really is a royal wine pot from the imperial palace. Look at the dragon patterns on the pot—so lifelike; they seem to shimmer under the lights.”

“This auction is just too awesome. We just had the general’s Treasured Seal, and now we have the emperor’s wine pot. The next couldn’t possibly be the Supreme Emperor’s Treasured Sword…”

There was a buzz of excited whispering among the crowd, all stunned by the sight of the wine pot.

“I don’t need to elaborate on the value of this wine pot, but its significance is truly astonishing. I’ve come across many Song Dynasty porcelains, but today’s piece is the most precious I’ve ever seen. So, if any of you are interested, get your bidding paddles ready. In a few days or perhaps even in a lifetime, you may never encounter such a meaningful treasure again,” Elder Wang hyped up the wine pot before pausing slightly and then, with a magnetic voice, announced to the audience below: “Song Dynasty imperial nine-dragon pattern white porcelain wine pot, starting bid five million!”

Upon hearing Elder Wang’s starting price, the crowd erupted into excitement, and a plump developer stood up from his chair, shouting towards the stage, “Five million five hundred thousand!”

“Dammit, sit down; you’re blocking my view! I bid six million!”

“I’ll stand if I want! I bid six million five hundred thousand!”

“Dammit, seven million here! Sit down now!”

“Eight million, and I’m not sitting down!”

“Ten million, you imbecile, now lie down!”
