“Now I know why Zyaire was in such a hurry to leave. He must have gone to the auction. The thousand-year-old snow lotus is extremely rare. Plenty of people will fight for it!” Zeke said.
“Let's go to the auction too.” Jared was filled with excitement.
If he could get his hands on the thousandyear-old snow lotus, his skills would be significantly elevated.
Zeke nodded and took Jared to the auction.
The auction was held on the outskirts of Yeringham, inside a classically designed building with a circular arch.
The outside of the building was filled with luxury cars that were usually not there. Evidently, many people had rushed over just for the thousand-year-old snow lotus.
When they arrived at the entrance, the staff immediately recognized Zeke. He handed Zeke a bidding paddle and informed respectfully, “Mr. Griffin, the deposit this time is a hundred million.” “What?” Zeke was stunned. “Isn't it usually ten million? Why did it increase to a hundred million?”
“Mr. Griffin, today is special. I'm sure you're aware that a thousand-year-old snow lotus has been put on the block. Hence, the deposit has been increased to stop anyone who's not serious,” the staff explained.
Zeke's expression drastically changed, as he didn't have a hundred million on him.
“Let me put it up,” Jared volunteered when he realized that Zeke might not have so much money on him.
After paying the deposit, Jared received a paddle, and they proceeded to the auction hall.
The usually quiet hall was now bustling with crowds. Everyone important in Yeringham was there. Even Zyaire was seated in front, chatting softly with someone.
At the sight of Zeke and the others, Zyaire was briefly stunned. Nevertheless, he
nodded at them with a smile in an effort to greet them.
After they settled into their seats, Jared and company quietly waited for the thousand-year-old snow lotus to be brought out.
