Chapter 438 Auction trap (15)

After cursing me for a bit, the eldest prince realized that none of this mattered if I didn't react.

After all, he had heard about what the king had done after learning that this Count Zwein had been offended...

So he couldn't do anything in public no matter how enraged he was.

The only thing that he could do now was...

The eldest prince took a deep breath before turning back to the auctioneer and saying in a deep voice, "Three hundred and fifty thousand gold coins."

Since he couldn't convince him, then he would crush him with money.

That was the only way to end this with him getting what he wanted.

But the eldest prince didn't jump up another hundred thousand this time.

That was because...he couldn't afford it. He needed to save as much as he could since there were other things that he needed to do with his money.

But this time...it was him to be pressured.

I knew that the eldest prince would have a limit and it seemed that he was getting close to that limit which was why he was slowing down his bid.

Since that was the case, then I would use my bid to pressure him.

After all, it wasn't my money in the first place.

The auctioneer quickly recovered and was about to give the three count as fast as he could. He wanted to end this auction and send the eldest prince off before they suffered the consequences of his rage.

But before he could...

"Four hundred thousand gold coins."

My voice slowly rang out through the auction hall once more and they looked up at my VVIP room in shock.

Before this, I had only ever raised the price by a thousand gold coins.

But now I was going toe to toe with the eldest prince in terms of bids.

The eldest prince turned to look in my direction with a bewildered look, almost as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and turned to the auctioneer to say, "I wish to raise a formal complaint! I don't believe that this person actually has the ability to provide these funds and is just causing trouble! I wish to confirm whether this person can actually afford such a bid or I will be raising a formal complaint against the auction house!"

The auctioneer was taken aback when he heard this, but he revealed a look like he believed what the eldest prince was saying.

He didn't know anything about the guest in the VVIP room making the bid, but he couldn't help finding it suspicious that they were able to make such bids.

So the auctioneer was about to see if he could find out the truth about this.

After all, if he could stop this person, that would appease the eldest prince.

But before he could say anything, he suddenly knitted his brows.

It was almost as if there was someone invisible talking to him that made him stop in his steps.

He knitted his brows before mouthing something before knitting his brows even more.

The eldest prince saw that the auctioneer wasn't saying anything, so he gave a cough and said, "I said that I wish to raise a formal complaint."

The auctioneer had an ugly expression on his face as he looked up to the eldest prince and said, "I'm sorry, but we cannot accept your formal complaint. We have already checked the assets of the guest in the VVIP room and they are more than capable of paying this amount. So we will be accepting their bids."

The eldest prince deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.

He had thought that since he couldn't suppress Zwein, he would just suppress the auction house.

But to his surprise, the auction house didn't back him up at all and instead took Zwein's side.

This didn't make any sense at all!

Why would they do that?

In the end, the eldest prince didn't lose his temper with the auction house.

He knew who was behind the auction house and no matter how enraged he was, he wouldn't lose his calm at a time like this.

Even if he had all the courage in the world, he wouldn't actually do anything to the auction house since he couldn't afford the consequences.

The eldest prince just gritted his teeth and said, "Four hundred and fifty..."

Before he could even finish, I was already cutting him off.

"Five hundred thousand gold coins."

The eldest prince tightly clenched his fists when he heard this and it almost seemed like his eyes were filled with flames of rage.

He looked like he was about to pop a blood vessel with the amount of rage that he was feeling, but he had no choice but to force this anger down.

He looked over at my room, but I just ignored him as I remained sitting there.

The eldest prince tried one more time as he said, "Do you know who you're messing with?"

"Does it look like I care?"

That was my only response to this. nOve-1b-1n

The eldest prince had the strangest look on his face since he never thought that I would respond this way.

His entire body shook as he stood there, but the look on his face made it clear that he didn't know what to do.

Or rather, it could be said that he really didn't have any more options.

"Five hundred and one thousand..."

"Six hundred thousand gold coins."

I said, cutting him off once more.

Our positions had completely changed now.

He was the one that was raising by a thousand and I was the one raising by a hundred thousand.

The eldest prince once more looked at the auctioneer, but the auctioneer also ignored him.

So the eldest prince had no choice but to clench his teeth and turn around, disappearing back into his VVIP room.

With that, the bid came to a close.
