Chapter 298 We Are Rich[2]



"Didn\'t he concede because he didn\'t have enough Mana stones? How come he has so many now?"

"It\'s easy. He must have thought that the egg wasn\'t worth that much."

"That\'s right. However, why isn\'t he sitting on the second floor if he is so wealthy?"

"Maybe he is a cheapskate and doesn\'t want to spend extra stones?"

"I don\'t think he has so many Mana stones and is only trying to show off to us."

"Tsk, if that\'s true, he is just playing with his life. You should know the auction house has a rule that no one shall make empty bids, or they will be killed without mercy."

While everyone was in discussion, Jack frowned and raised the bid, "2 million!"

Everyone quietened down immediately and shifted their attention to the upper floors once again.

For a while, no one raised the bid.

In their room, Leticia\'s heart was beating faster and faster while her palms were clenched into fists as she mumbled, "Someone raise it a little more. Raise it..."

Although Max, Rima and Belen tried to remain composed, the excitement was palpable on their faces.

Just when Siana was about to ask whether anyone was willing to raise the bid, the guest in room 5\'s voice sounded, "2.2 Million!"

Jack smiled when he heard him raising it by a mere 200,000 and thought, \'It seems the guest in room number 5 is approaching her limit.\'

"2.5 Million!"

Just as he was thinking this, the black figure from the auction hall made another bid, attracting everyone\'s attention.

Jack\'s expression darkened by a few notches when he heard the bid. He was told to try to win the spell in less than 3 Million stones, and he had thought that since the price was very slow, it meant most of the people present were near their limit, and he could successfully buy it in less than 3 million.

However, with this bid, he wasn\'t so sure any longer. He then turned to look at Janice, who also wore a slightly troubled expression.

Just as he was about to say something, his expression froze as another bid sounded.

"3 Million!"

"Woah! It is someone from room number 3. It\'s the first time they made a bid in this auction, right?"

"It seems the guests on the third floor are even richer than those on the second floor."

"Yeah. It seems so. Did you notice there wasn\'t any ripple in the voice just now as if 3 Million Mana stones are worth much in his eyes, unlike those from the second floor whose voice seems strained a little whenever they make a bid?"

In room number 12, Gene asked curiously, "Grandma, why are they bidding so much for it? No matter how strong, it\'s only a non-elemental spell, right?"

"Little Gene, you forget that it\'s the rural area we are in. The strongest forces here only have one or two grade-four spells and only a handful of top-tier grade three, most of which are non-elemental ones which are many times weaker than the elemental spell.

Moreover, because of the lack of resources here, many people can\'t awaken an element even after reaching the three-star realm. So, a strong non-elemental spell is what they dream of.

So, now that they are given a chance to acquire a spell that\'s as strong as a top-tier grade elemental spell, they naturally are willing to go all out for it. " The old lady explained.

"Oh!" Gene nodded in understanding, and then a worried look appeared on her face, and she thought, \'Doesn\'t that mean my progress would be slower here?\'

The old lady noticed this and smiled, "Don\'t worry. I won\'t let this affect you."

"Okay, grandma." Gene nodded and didn\'t ask how she was going to do it because she believed in her and knew that she must have thought of some plan.

In room number 23, Jack\'s expression was ugly. \'It seems I can\'t compete for the spirit fruits now.\' He then gritted his teeth and made the bid, "3.5 million!"

In room number 3, a beautiful woman in golden robes who looked to be in her mid-twenties was sitting with two old women standing behind her. One seemed cold and aloof, while the other one seemed warm and amiable.

When Jack raised the bid, she smiled lightly, "He should be from the Dalton family, right?"

"Yes, milady." The amiable old lady replied respectfully.

"They are really as wealthy as the rumours say. It seems I can\'t buy this spell with him bidding against me." The golden-robed woman said.

"Milady, do you need me to lend you my Mana stones?" The old lady asked.

"No, it\'s fine. Since I can\'t buy it from the Mana stones I have, it means it isn\'t meant to be mine." The golden-robed woman replied.

The old lady hesitated a little when she heard this before saying, "Milady, if her majesty finds out that you let it go, she will be angry."

Hearing this, the golden-robed woman\'s expression turned cold for a fleeting moment. She then said calmly, "It\'s fine."

The old lady kept quiet when she saw her reaction.

"4 million!" Just then, the black-clad man in the auction hall made another bid.

Jack\'s eyes glinted with murderous light when he looked toward the black-clad man. He then shouted angrily, "4.5 Million!"

Sitting beside him, Janice\'s troubled expression vanished the moment Jack made his bid as she sighed inwardly, \'I can only compete for the spirit fruits now.\'

Sitting in the back seats of the auction hall, the black-clad person glanced toward Jack\'s room and then shook his head in disappointment.

Jack, whose eyes were fixated on him, felt relieved when he saw this. However, just then, another voice sounded, and his face went pale.

The guest from room number 5, who had been silent for a while now, spoke again, "5 Million!"

In room number 2, Max and company had ecstatic expressions. Leticia couldn\'t hold it in and shouted, "We are rich!"
