Tina blushed when she heard Soar's words. She did not dare to say anything else.
Ricky, on the other hand, called out his bid without hesitation, "Twenty thousand!"
Right after he finished yelling out his bid, everyone turned their heads to look at his room. All the people became curious about who it was that dared to bid. The owner of that voice must be bold and rich! He directly increased the price by ten thousand gold coins!
"Are those the same three people who just had a fight with the young master of the Golden Leopard Valley?" a warrior asked. He had seen the chaos that had happened earlier.
"Really?"
"Yes, I'm sure of that. They are rich enough to book a room on the third floor!
I'm starting to become curious as to whether the young master of the Golden Leopard Valley will compete with them!"
"Is that the bastard I had trouble with?" the young master asked in a cold voice from another private room. At first, he was busy molesting the maid, but when he heard the familiar voice, he immediately recognized it.
"Yes, young master," the old man replied.
"I know it's him! Call out our price!" the young master ordered.
"My young master, we are here in order to win the two specific treasures. The more we spend on other treasures, the less likely we are going to get what we want. Once we have one thousand gold coins less, maybe we will be unable to finish our task,"
the old man explained patiently. He did not think it was a wise idea to bid for something they did not want.
"I know what you mean, but I'm not that foolish," the young master replied. "The reason I want you to call out the bid is because I want that bastard to pay more for it. I never wanted to waste my gold coins on that broken Devil-suppressing Jade."
"I'm glad that you know what I mean and don't want to waste money," the old man said as a smile crept onto his lips.
He was more than pleased to hear those words from his young master. That proved that the young master was not completely blind at least. As a member of the Golden Leopard Valley, he was happy to have a smart and reasonable young master.
"Thirty thousand!" the young master called out.
"Hey, did you hear that? I was right! I knew that the young master of the Golden Leopard Valley would not let his enemies go that easily!" someone said. The throng began to whisper again upon hearing the young master's bid increase.
"Well, who will win this treasure? I'm quite looking forward to the final result,"
some warriors said in an expectant tone as they stared toward the two privates rooms. They were demi-immortals, so they were not fools. They believed that Ricky knew the young master was being difficult with him on purpose.
Vito did not care what the issue between the two bidders was. He grew excited as soon as he heard someone take part in the bidding.
His fat cheeks shivered a bit as a smile appeared on his face again.
"Ricky, did you hear that correctly? It seems that the other bidder is that man who messed with us earlier," Soar said.
"Yes, I heard his voice too. He seems to be determined to find fault with us," Ricky said.
"Ricky, let's just give up! I know that the Devil-suppressing Jade is extremely precious. Now that the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce has decided to sell it, I'm sure it must be severely damaged. It might be useless anyway. I don't want you to waste money on it," Tina suggested.
"That man will never let us win the bidding so easily. He will surely raise the price if we bid again. We are going to waste a large amount of money if we fall into his trap."
"Yes, I understand that. How about this? I will continue to bid a few more times. If he doesn't give up, I will stop it and let him win the item," Ricky replied as he nodded.
"Forty thousand gold coins!" he then called out again before Soar and Tina could make an objection.
"Fifty thousand!" the young master said again without thinking twice upon hearing Ricky's voice.
"Sixty thousand!" Ricky called out again as he squinted his eyes in determination. Deep inside his mind, he decided that, if the young master continued to compete with him, he would give up.
He would find a chance to take the Devil-suppressing Jade from him, either way!
