Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1376

Severin smirked as if he did not take Jeremy's words seriously. He smiled and raised the bid by three million. "Then I'll bid fifteen million dollars! The ball is in your court now! Don't let me down."

"This is no time to be impulsive, sir. He's obviously setting you up! It will no longer be worth the price if you raise the bid beyond fifteen million dollars," the bodyguard had to remind Jeremy again.

Although Jeremy was very upset, he could only grit his teeth in anger. He eventually smiled at Severin and said, "Hehe, did you think you could set me up? You just want me to keep raising the price so you can cop out at the last minute. I'm not an idiot. I won't enter a bidding war with you. You can take that herb for fifteen million dollars. I don't need that many spiritual herbs. I am from a first-class family anyway."

"You're right! We can't let him fool us again!" the bodyguards echoed Jeremy's sentiment and buttered him up.

"That's fifteen million from Mister Severin! Does anyone else want to make a bid?" Caroline announced. When she confirmed that no one else was interested in making any further bids, she said, "Fifteen million! Going once… going twice… and sold for fifteen million dollars to Mister Severin from VIP Room one!"

She then struck her gavel and declared that Severin won the bid for that spiritual herb.

Jeremy no longer dared to enter a bidding war with Severin after being humiliated like that. He acted as if he was above their trickery and decided not to participate in any of the bidding. When those in the audience below saw that Severin had made a bid, they gave up as well and avoided trying to outbid Severin.

Caroline felt a little speechless as she presided over the auction. After all, the prices of these spiritual herbs were beyond their expected target—it was rare for such herbs to be auctioned off at relatively low prices. It was a rather unprecedented situation, and one that she could do nothing about.

"I believe the person in VIP Room one is an alchemist. He's not interested in any of the second-grade spiritual herbs, and he never bids for combat techniques or weapons. He seems to be aiming for third-grade spiritual herbs, or spiritual herbs that can be used for alchemy." The old man in VIP Room Three had a bad feeling after making those observations.
