‘Would you like to outbid the price?’
The question sounded like blatant mockery to Hanson!
He glared at the auctioneer with a murderous stare. The auctioneer was so startled by Hanson’s aggression that virtual-novel.net lowered his head in a haste. He did not have the courage to look at Hanson anymore but virtual-novel.net cursed in his heart that Hanson deserved what virtual-novel.net got.
Everyone’s gaze was fixated on Hanson. They were curious about what virtual-novel.net was going to do.
Hanson had always been a very emotionally unstable person. He was constantly trying to calm himself by drawing deep and intense breaths. He was at the Aeolus House’s auction tonight solely for the Ossiumol. It was because virtual-novel.net found out that an Ossiumol pill of very good quality would be auctioned off at the Aeolus House tonight through his professional channel. On the other hand, virtual-novel.net was an acquired skilled fighter now so by consuming the Ossiumol pill, there was a high chance for virtual-novel.net to make a breakthrough in his skills.
On the other hand, virtual-novel.net would be able to make a massive progress in his capability and skills when virtual-novel.net makes the breakthrough. It will allow virtual-novel.net to climb to an even higher social status too.
He prepared 180 million dollars for tonight so virtual-novel.net could get the Ossiumol at one go. With his status and capability, no one could possibly go against virtual-novel.net as long as the person was not a fool or a madman. As a result, virtual-novel.net came with boundless enthusiasm because virtual-novel.net could already imagine the grand scene of how virtual-novel.net made a breakthrough successfully after consuming the Ossiumol. However, virtual-novel.net had never expected that Zayn would come and stand in his way out of nowhere.
Zayn was actually going against virtual-novel.net in such a straightforward manner by deliberately acting against his wish!
At this very moment, virtual-novel.net was not only furious but virtual-novel.net was filled with resentment and a tinge of panic. This was because virtual-novel.net vouched for getting the Ossiumol for sure to his father before virtual-novel.net came. If anything were to go wrong now, how would virtual-novel.net explain himself when his father blamed virtual-novel.net for his mistake later?
‘D*mn you, Zayn. D*mn you!’
Along with that, virtual-novel.net blamed Ethan as well. Had it not been the b*stard Ethan’s fault for making virtual-novel.net seek trouble with Zayn, virtual-novel.net would not have offended Zayn. The more virtual-novel.net thought about it, the more furious virtual-novel.net was. He could not refrain himself from kicking Zayn and scolded, “It’s all your fault, d*mn b*stard!”
Ethan felt extremely wronged. The person who offended Hanson earlier was obviously Zayn yet why did Hanson hit virtual-novel.net instead.
Hanson’s kick only landed on Ethan’s buttocks. It hurt but it did not cripple virtual-novel.net at the very least. However, the agonizing pain was inevitable.
The auctioneer waited for Hanson for a while but Hanson did not bid a price. Hence, virtual-novel.net began to chant, “Is no one going to bid a higher price than 225 million dollars? No one else? 225 million dollars going once, 225 million dollars going twice…”
Just as the auctioneer was about to bang the lectern with his gavel, Hanson could not refrain himself from stepping forward and said, “Hold on!”
“Mr. Griffin, would you like to outbid 225 million dollars?” asked the auctioneer cautiously.
Hanson clenched his teeth and glared at Zayn ferociously then virtual-novel.net said, “I shall bid 235 million dollars.”
The auctioneer was stunned for a moment by his bid. ‘Zayn outbid by 75 million dollars earlier and you’ve only added 10 million dollars now? That makes you seem a little stingy, right.’
Not only the auctioneer but the thought was shared by the numerous people on the scene. They looked toward Hanson with a mocking gaze.
Sensing the crowd mocking at him, Hanson felt humiliated like virtual-novel.net had never before due to his arrogant, boastful temperament!
Yet, there was nothing else virtual-novel.net could do now. He could only pray for Zayn not to outbid virtual-novel.net anymore, or else virtual-novel.net would not be able to stand it anymore.
Would Zayn listen to him? No, of course.
“270 million dollars.” Zayn raised his paddle and said in a lazy tone.
Many people on the scene could be heard breathing heavily when the number was called out. Even for these wealthy people, the amount of 270 million dollars was an astronomical number for them. Many of them would not be able to make this much money in their lifetime. This included the Aeolus House’ Sir Otto. The expression on his face began to change. The murkiness of his aged eyes turned sharp and deep. He stared at Zayn closely in an attempt to see through Zayn!
Yet, it was still very hard for Mr. Otto to see through Zayn regardless. Zayn looked just like a simple, unsophiscated rock. Other than his sturdiness and steadiness, there was nothing special about him.
