Chapter 424: Buying Everything (End of Volume 5)

"44 million, then." Old Mo was still calm and collected. But deep inside, his organs were hurting. This bastard from the other edge of the room keeps on bidding, increasing the price of the lotus! As someone who loved money to the bottom of his heart, he felt like he was bleeding internally and suffering from all kinds of damages.

"You..." Young Master Zhou was angered more. He looked like a wild beast with bloodshot eyes. He was looking at the room number 10 as if he wanted to pierce the people there in thousand pieces, "50 million! No one's going to take it from me!"

Everyone sucked a mouthful of air. The young master of Zhou clan had actually bidded 50 million purple stones! Just how rich his family was to have such money?

The butler looked at the young master with pained expression. He knew that his master had been driven mad by the other party, thus he wouldn't step away from this humiliation. The problem now was, 50 million was the very limit that the young master could bid. After all, that was exactly half of how much money his family had. The ancestors had told him that he could use this maximum money if worse came to worst. But if it's possible, they didn't want him to spend so much.

Luckily, Young Master Zhou didn't win the previous bids a while ago. So, he could maximize his bid to this lotus this time.

Young Master Zhou also didn't want to spend this much. However, he had no choice either. The other party kept on provoking him ever since. If not for the iron rule of this auction house of 'it's forbidden to flaunt your background here to threaten', he would have done so many times now.

"51 million." Old Mo still said casually, as if the matter wasn't worth mentioning.

Everyone was surprised. They thought that 50 million would be the maximum bid. However, the mysterious person from room number 10 had actually increased the bid by a million!

"Bastard..." Young Master Zhou almost ripped his teeth in frustration. "Since you don't want to back off easily, I will add my personal money here."

"Young Master Zhou, please don't." The butler tried to stop him, "This lotus isn't the only one in this world, I can personally confirm this. So why will you spend even your money to this?"

"I don't care if there's another lotus outside. What's important is this lotus was already in front of me and just one step away from having it. Why should I go with your words? To wait until my grandmother couldn't hold on anymore? No, I'm not willing." Young Master Zhou laughed coldly. He might be an arrogant and wicked person but he was truly filial in his family. His eyes flashed with determination and bid, "55 million!"

No matter what, he would try to get this item!

The bunny host was scared shitless. The actual price of the lotus was actually just more or less 30 million purple stones. Yet, the amount almost doubled once again! Goodness, just how much would he get from this deal? After this, he could just quit and live the rest of his life in luxury!

"I can see that you aren't going to step down unless you see despair." Old Mo could more or less why the young master was determined. But he shook his head and said, "However, this item is meant to be ours from the very start. Let me, this honorable one, give you a taste of despair. 70 million."

Hearing these words, everyone was silenced that even a small drop of water could be heard. No one dared to make any sound. In fact, even the young master looked blankly as if he suffered a terrifying shock.

Old Mo had actually raised the bid by 15 million in one breath! Just how rich and extravagant he was to do this? This was the most powerful deal the Horus had ever had!

Young Master Zhou didn't say anything as he looked so weak. He stood up and left the room without anyone noticing. He was arrogant, but he knew how to admit defeat whenever. He knew that this kind of person wasn't someone he could offend. Thus, there's no thoughts of revenge or whatsoever against the other party.

"70... mi... million... Going once, going twice!" "The bunny host stuttered due to extreme shock. But he immediately composed himself and shouted with elation, "The Forelotus is now Master Haozen's possession for 70 million purple stones. Truly a tycoon of the business world!"

No one knew who was Master Haozen. They racked their brains yet they couldn't find anything. Of course, it was expected. Because Haozen was the family name of Old Mo and only a very few knew this. He was well known in the world as Minister Mo! The bunny host had actually hid Old Mo's identity in purpose. After all, his identity was too eye catching that if anyone knew who Old Mo was, they would surely pack Old Mo's space like busy bees.

"Here is your lotus, Minister Mo." The owner of the Horus Auction personally came forward and said, "We are very much honored that you give us face by following our rules."

If Old Mo just declared his identity as the Minister of the famous top powerhouse LD Sect, who would dare to compete with him in this bidding? The LD Sect was recognized as the most powerful and the guardian of this world, so the members of this sect could bask in praise and songs wherever they go. But the Horus requested a favor to hide his identity in order for a fair bidding.

"That's okay." Old Mo nodded and said, "Little Mei, get that lotus and immediately enter your space to cultivate."

Little Mei didn't waste time and immediately entered her personal space. She wanted to become stronger as soon as possible.

Her Big Brother Jin could only give them a single boost in power per person. After that, they would need rely to themselves. After all, if they kept on depending Jin Rou's power to increase their strength, they wouldn't have any chances to stabilize and strengthen their foundation.

Old Mo talked a few more times with the owner and he immediately departed.

He looked at the red sky as of now, and the figure of his young master flashed into his mind. For some reason, he felt heavy and lonely at the same time.
