Chapter 660: Chapter 687 Auction Ends (Two-in-One)
The first reaction from everyone, "Who is so extravagant!"
The second reaction from everyone, "Could it be to watch someone eat crap?"
As this thought flashed through their minds, they all turned to look at the source of the voice, surprised in their hearts,
"Itâs him?"
"Isnât he the one who guessed the stone at the beginning? Whatâs his name again?"
"Yeah, right, itâs Lin Xi!"
"He guessed it exactly right from the start, this guyâs an expert!"
"Yeah, yeah, this guy is definitely a super expert, I bet even the Stone King canât compare to him!"
"So heâs taken a fancy to this stone, does that mean..."
Instantly, almost everyoneâs eyes lit up, as if they guessed something.
On stage, Shangguan Nishangâs face looked much better, it seemed calling Lin Xi over wasnât just to cause trouble.
At this moment, she smiled and said, "One billion, anyone else wants to raise the bid?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ritian immediately shouted, "I..."
Lin Xi instinctively turned to glance at him, this chubby guy actually bid against him!
"Bro, I was just clearing my throat!" Zhao Ritian immediately grinned slyly at Lin Xi, chuckling,
"Donât misunderstand, I absolutely have no other intentions!"
Lin Xiâs identity didnât bother him, but his keen judgment did.
He didnât want to completely offend someone with such keen judgment over a mere stone.
Shangguan Hong snorted coldly, a disdainful look in his eyes.
But there were still some who were oblivious, or simply didnât care about Lin Xiâs judgment.
After all, for some of these people, betting on stones was just a hobby, and many of them lived abroad and didnât return home for years.
So someone started shouting, "One billion one hundred million!"
This person was the slightly irritable Mercenary Corps captain from before, who had initially been given a fierce glare by the elder on stage because of his rude tone.
As soon as he shouted, those who were ready to shout stopped abruptly, secretly glancing at Lin Xi to see his reaction.
If Lin Xi bid again, they would also consider vying for it.
After all, anything Lin Xi set his sights on, was definitely not some ordinary treasure!
After knowing that he hadnât bid at all from the beginning, they were curious why heâd bid now.
If he didnât bid, they would consider this carefully!
Lin Xi tapped his fingers on the small table, his face appearing calm like a still well.
In reality, if someone had been watching closely, they would have noticed a brief flash of coldness on his face.
The entire crowd was waiting for Lin Xi to speak, but to their disappointment, since the Mercenary Corps captain last spoke, he didnât utter a word.
The auction couldnât just wait, so at this time, Shangguan Nishang said, "Is there anyone still bidding? If so, please hurry!"
"Otherwise, Iâll have to hit the gavel."
Several people showed a look of confusion on their faces, struggling to decide whether to call out a bid or not!
After all, this was shouted by an expert, yet they couldnât figure out why the expert only bid once?
Zhao Ritian looked at Lin Xi at this moment, "Bro, youâre not bidding anymore?"
"If itâs a question of money, just tell me!"
Lin Xi hadnât even had time to respond when the Mercenary Corps captain in the front rowâs expression changed.
If Zhao Ritian was backing him, he really didnât dare to bid again, because everyone knew, this chubby guy wasnât short of money and very stubborn.
At this point, Lin Xi shook his head, "No need, just let him have it!"
Zhao Ritian still felt a bit reluctant, genuinely suspecting that there was something unusual about the stone, otherwise, why would Lin Xi bid on it?
So he probed, "Bro, if youâre not bidding, how about I take a shot?"
Itâs not that he wanted the item, most importantly, he wanted to please Lin Xi.
Their conversation wasnât quiet, so others could hear too.
Upon hearing Zhao Ritian say this, they listened even more attentively!
If Lin Xi agreed to let him bid, then the item was certainly extraordinary, if not, then it was probably ordinary.
The next moment, they heard Lin Xi say, "You donât need to bid either, I just wanted to see if someone would eat crap!"
Zhao Ritian, "..."
Except for the person who bet to livestream themselves eating crap and the Mercenary Corps captain, everyone else was, "..."
As for the person who bet to livestream themselves eating crap, after a few "ugh ugh ughs", he shrank his neck and said nothing further.
Yeah, playing dead!
After all, would he really eat crap? Of course not, he wasnât new to admitting defeat and acting shamelessly.
As for the current Mercenary Corps captain, it was as if he swallowed a mouthful of crap.
He always felt like now there was no difference between him and eating crap on a livestream, in fact, if he could retrieve that one billion one hundred million, heâd rather eat crap.
Unfortunately, the Shangguan family definitely wouldnât allow it!
"If no oneâs bidding, then one billion one hundred million going once!" Shangguan Nishang shouted at the crowd.
Those who were initially hesitant and struggling all looked at the Mercenary Corps captain with schadenfreude after hearing Lin Xiâs words.
Of course, they wouldnât bid anymore.
"One billion one hundred million going twice!"
Shangguan Nishang picked up the small gavel, glanced at the audience once more to make sure no one wanted to bid again, and then struck the table.
And announced, "One billion one hundred million going three times, sold!"
Although this price was only ten million more than the sellerâs reserve price, it was the smallest increase among the items auctioned tonight.
But avoiding passing through without selling was a satisfactory ending, and at the moment, she was quite pleased.
And with that, the auction officially came to an end.
As everyone was leaving, Shangguan Hong was taken away by an elder of the Shangguan family.
Shangguan Nishang was going to send Lin Xi back, but Lin Xi declined, saying he had other things to deal with.
In no time, the venue, once filled with people, was left with only a few staff members cleaning up.
As for who left the venue first, it was definitely Hou Yao, the boss from Mexico.
As soon as it ended, he left the venue as fast as possible.
What he didnât expect was that none of those who had been targeting him tried to stop him!
Originally, he thought the Shangguan family wouldnât let him leave the venue.
Once in the underground parking lot, he got into his car and noticed no one was following him.
"Could it be that his two subordinates didnât get exposed?"
When this crossed his mind, he denied it, thinking if they hadnât been exposed, then why was there no news from those two subordinates, it simply wasnât possible.
Moreover, the people of the Shangguan family wouldnât have marked him at the venue!
Anyway, whether someone was following or not, given his cautious nature, heâd return to Mexico as quickly as possible, lest anything unexpected happen.
His car drove away in under ten seconds, an elder on the stage looked in the direction he was leaving without any expression.
And immediately got into another car and followed him.
And just five seconds after this elder left, Wang Wudao came out from a spot with a look of puzzlement.
But he didnât dwell on it much and drove off in a car as well to catch up.
There was only one person who left neither in a hurry nor slowly, that was Zhao Ritian, who had begged for Lin Xiâs number and WeChat before leaving.
As soon as he left the venue, four special forces strongmen rushed up and protected him as he evacuated from the hotel.
However, just as he walked out, four or five desperadoes trailed after him.
As for Lin Xi, after leaving the venue and getting off the elevator, he took a light sniff and followed in a certain direction.
