Chapter 190 - 190: Human and Demon Hybrid?
After Xiao Chen placed his bid, Ji Yue was a little stunned.
Ji Yue never expected that someone would actually dare to raise the price.
At the same time, Ji Ruoyan also looked slightly surprised.
Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to offend the guests in Sky VIP Room Number 1.
And now, someone had actually done this just as the auction was about to end. It was obvious that the items on the auction stage were very important to the other party.
‘Could it be that the guy in Room 999 knows the location of the treasure that can be opened with the Bronze Key?
At that moment, a thought flashed across Ji Ruoyan’s mind.
“300,000.” Although she was thinking, Ji Ruoyan did not stop bidding. She immediately doubled the price.
Upon hearing the new bid from Sky VIP Room Number 1, Xiao Chen turned completely gloomy.
Because he did not have enough money on him at all, he started the next round of bidding.
“Elder Hai, I don’t have enough money on me. What should I do now?”
Xiao Chen had no choice but to seek help from the soul remnant of the sea dragon inside the ring.
Hearing Xiao Chen’s question, Elder Hai couldn’t help but fall silent. If he was at his peak, he naturally wouldn’t be so afraid.
However, his physical body was already destroyed and only a soul remnant was left of him. Although he could still unleash some power, it would at most affect enlightened Martial Grandmasters. It would not work if he wanted to fight head-on against a large faction like the Myriad Commerce Association.
“If there’s really no other way, give up!” In the end, Elder Hai’s slightly hoarse voice slowly sounded from the ring.
Upon hearing Elder Hai’s words, Xiao Chen could only clench his fists indignantly. Then, he stared fixedly at the Sky VIP Room Number 1.
Ji Yue could not help but heave a sigh of relief when she saw that the guest in Black VIP Room Number 999 did not continue bidding.
“300,000 going once, 300,000 going twice, 300,000 going thrice. Deal. Congratulations to the VIP in Sky Room Number 1 for winning this auction item.”
Seeing that no one continued to bid, Ji Yue deliberately sped up and completed three rounds of shouting, ending the bidding.
However, at this moment, many guests in the VIP rooms looked at Black VIP Room Number 999 strangely.
“Let’s go quickly. When you bid just now, you must have been targeted by many people. Let’s go back before the auction ends.”
Seeing that the Bronze Key could not be obtained through formal channels like an auction, the more experienced Elder Hai advised Xiao Chen.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else. With a dark expression, he quickly left the private room and left the Myriad Commerce Association.
After Ji Yue announced the end of the auction from the stage, she personally took the Bronze Key and went straight to Sky VIP Room Number 1.
Su Yu looked intrigued. After bidding for the Bronze key, Su Yu was prepared to see if he could crack the secret technique in the key and obtain the treasure map inside.
Looking at the situation now, it seemed that someone was also interested in this key. This was very interesting.
From Xiao Chen’s bid just now, many problems had already been exposed.
That was, the other party recognized the value of this key and thought that it was worth the risk of offending the esteemed guest of Sky VIP Room Number 1 to try bidding.
Then, when he realized that he could not bid for it, he directly chose to give up.
At this moment, someone knocked twice on the door of the private room.
“Come in,” Ji Ruoyan said softly when she heard the knocking.
Then, Ji Yue, who was holding an ancient wooden box, pushed open the door and entered Sky VIP Room Number 1.
“President, this is the Bronze key that Sir Su bought.” The moment she entered the private room, Ji Yue’s expression instantly became respectful. She was no longer as charming as she was on the auction stage.
“Which guest is in Black VIP Room Number 999?” Ji Ruoyan asked Ji Yue as she reached out to take the wooden box containing the Bronze key and handed it to Su Yu.
“The guest in that VIP Room is Xiao Chen. He’s the only son of Xiao Feng, King Yi of the Great Zhou Dynasty.”
Upon hearing the president’s question, Ji Yue immediately reported the other party’s identity.
“Do you know what kind of person this Xiao Chen is?” After receiving the Bronze Key from Ji Ruoyan, Su Yu asked curiously.
“This person is a little strange. Previously, he seemed to have always been known as a piece of trash. After being nurtured with a large amount of resources, his cultivation stopped at the Martial Warrior Realm and he could not advance any further.”
“Then, in the past year or two, his cultivation suddenly erupted with an astonishing speed and he directly crossed the Warrior realm and stepped into the General realm. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, he obtained the title of a genius.”
At this moment, a strange expression appeared on Ji Yue’s face.
If it were anyone else, Ji Yue might not have known. However, Ji Yue had a deep impression of someone like Xiao Chen who was once known as a good-for-nothing and then suddenly turned into a genius.
‘A person with great luck? Upon hearing Ji Yue’s description, Su Yu instantly thought of god’s favorite, also known as someone with great luck..
