Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1375

Jeremy was frowning too. "What with the people from VIP Room One? They just engaged in a bidding war with me for that third-grade low-rank spiritual herb, but now they're keeping quiet over this third-grade medium-rank spiritual herb? Is it possible that they were never here for the spiritual herb in the first place?"

"Nine million dollars!"

The price had soared to nine million dollars after an intense bidding war among the people downstairs. The price was not expensive for most people, and one could say that it was far lower than the supposed market price.

Finally, Severin stood up with a smile and said, "Ten million dollars!" It was a jaw-dropping bid that was one million spiritual stones more than the previous bidder. Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard that huge increase in bidding.

"The person in VIP Room One has finally spoken, and he raised the bid to ten million! Shall we raise any further, sir?" One of the people who had participated in the bidding earlier immediately turned to seek his employer's advice after hearing Severin's bid.

The man next to him smiled bitterly. "Forget about it. He bid one million more than us, so he's clearly determined to win. We wouldn’t want to cause any trouble by making those in VIP Room One unhappy. Let them have it."

Many people shared the same view as that man, and no one else continued to make higher bids.

"Mister Severin Feuillet from VIP Room One has made a bid of ten million dollars. Would anyone else like to bid higher?" Caroline smiled and announced to everyone.

"Don't be impulsive, sir! You fell for his trick once already, and we can't continue to let ourselves be played like a fiddle again. Are you sure you're willing to suffer another bigger loss if he decides to concede to you after you make another outrageously high bid?" a bodyguard next to him reminded him immediately.

Jeremy's lips twitched a few times before he said to the bodyguard, "But this is a third-grade medium-rank spiritual herb! Its value is at least fifteen million to twenty million. He'll be getting a steal if I let him have it for eleven million. I'm not about to let him get it so easily!"

"So…" Severin smiled cheekily and looked tauntingly at the other party. "Shall we continue?"

"You think I'm scared of you?" Jeremy had never been that angry in his life. He gritted his teeth and said, "Twelve million dollars! This is a third-grade medium-rank spiritual herb, and I'm not making a loss here because it's worth that price."
