President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 860

The four of them stood in the hall and talked for a while. Soon, at the start of the second half, a crowd of people entered the room again.

They were exactly where they were before. After everyone had sat down, the auction was declared started.

The items in second half were naturally much more valuable than those of the first.

There were paintings by ancient masters, jade seals that had been lost for thousands of years, and scepters used by European royalty.

In short, there were all kinds of rare treasures.

But perhaps with the last rare treasure was getting closer and closer, this time, everyone has become a lot of caution.

But perhaps as the last of the great treasures drew nearer, everyone became more cautious.

Everyone was no longer looking at the items in front of them. They were all holding their breath, quietly waiting for the last treasure to appear.

Irvin, of course, had heard of this last treasure. He probably thought Queeny and Felix were on the same side and joked with them.

Then he turned to Martha and said, “I feel like it’s a lie to bring the dead back to life and live forever. If we were to live forever for thousands of years, wouldn't we be an old monster?”

Martha gave him a half-smile. “If being an old monster means being immortal, then it doesn't matter. The point is immortal, don't you want to be immortal?”

The smile on Irvin’s face froze.

Then he shook his head quickly.

“No.”

Martha looked incredulous.

But Irvin looked very serious and said, “After all, there is only one copy of this treasure, which means that only one person can live forever. If I do use it, and everyone I know in the world dies, then I'm the only one left alive, what’s the point? The most important thing is…”

He paused for a moment, then said, with the utmost seriousness and seriousness, “Without you, I wouldn't want to live for another 10,000 years.”

Martha's expression froze.

She seemed to freeze.

She looked at him, and neither of them said anything. In such a dark environment, they seemed to see thousands of words from each other's eyes.

Finally, she turned awkwardly and said, “Stop it.”

If he continued, she would be moved to acquiesce to his advances.

Irvin didn't know what she was thinking. He just thought he had offended her and whispered, “I’m sorry.”

After a pause, he added, “But I mean it.”

Then he fell silent and said no more.

Martha also said nothing more.

The lot was nearly sold by the time.

And here came the last one. The Celestial Book, that everyone had been waiting for, was about to appear.

Queeny could tell that from the moment the host introduced the last item, the room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Almost everyone was waiting for it with bated breath.

Finally, after the host finished a simple introduction, she announced, “Please welcome our last piece of auction, known as the priceless treasure, the Celestial Book, which can bring the dead back to life!"

As her voice fell, the curtain on the side of the stage was pulled back. Two fully armed workers came up, pushing a glass display case.

The glass showcase was but a meter and a half high, and the height just reaches the line of sight position of people sitting, so as to facilitate people’s viewing.

In the middle of the glass showcase, there was a piece of crystal jade.
