The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210 The Proposal Ring
The crowd at the auction was cheering at Zachary, "Raise your paddle! Keep it going!"

Zachary was completely taken aback.

He only wanted to spend a little money on a diamond ring for fun, yet it had turned into such a huge spectacle.

Eighty million for a ring that was only worth five million? He wasn't insane!

Feeling bitter from the crowd's taunts, Zachary faced a tough decision. The shouts for him to increase his bid grew louder around him.

Seeing his hesitation, Alice shoved him and urged, "Zachary, keep bidding!"

He felt as if he had swallowed something unpleasant and was deeply conflicted. If he kept bidding, he would look foolish!

It was clear that Robin wanted to inflate the price of the ring. He couldn't let that jerk outsmart him!

"Are you going to bid or not?" Alice was growing impatient, feeling the pressure from the crowd's stares.

With a pained look, Zachary replied, "Alice, bidding 80 million for this ring is ridiculous! If you want it, we can just go to a jewelry store tomorrow."

"Oh, so you're worried about money for a proposal ring? How silly!" Ruby mocked him, speaking with a biting tone.

Zachary was ready to snap back but held his tongue because Ruby was the heiress of the Brookhaven Martial Alliance.

Alice looked shocked and turned to Zachary, anger in her eyes.

"Zachary, have you been pretending the whole time? You're hesitating over a proposal ring!

"More importantly, are you really going to let Robin win because of this? Doesn't that embarrass you? How can I ever face the upper class in Harmonfield again?

"You've ruined my reputation! If you don't keep bidding, we're done!"

"Alice, you're misunderstanding. I didn't mean it like that."

Zachary tried to explain, but when he saw Alice ignoring him, he gritted his teeth and yelled, "One hundred million!"

He hoped that would be enough to deter Robin from bidding again.

As soon as Zachary announced that price, the room fell silent, followed by gasps.

That was indeed an outrageous amount for the ring.

Everyone thought Robin wouldn't raise the bid anymore.

"Two hundred million!"

Before Alice could celebrate, Robin, who had been lounging in his chair with his eyes closed, suddenly shouted his bid.

The auction house went silent once more.

The way rich people thought was truly unpredictable!

Zachary was left speechless.

After a moment to gather his thoughts, he murmured, "Alice, we can't compete with this crazy guy anymore. It's insane to buy something worth five million for 200 million!"

Alice hesitated as well. She glanced at Robin in the VIP Zone, feeling a surge of anger.

What right did that no-name scammer have to challenge her?

"Zachary, let's raise the price again!" Alice insisted. "Since Robin is trying to play games with us, let's outsmart him. We should go higher!"

"Raise the price again?" Zachary flinched, feeling as if she had pierced his heart.

Alice leaned in closer and whispered in his ear, "Let's make our bid higher this time!

"And no matter how high he goes, we won't follow him! Let's see how he reacts. Two hundred million? He'll regret it in the end!"

Zachary laughed at her enthusiasm. "Okay, Alice, let's go with your plan! Let's catch him off guard!"

With that, he lifted the paddle and called out, "Two hundred and fifty million!"

The auction hall erupted in excitement. The wealth of the rich truly seemed like just a number!

A simple diamond ring had skyrocketed from five million to 250 million in under five minutes!

Those two were giving it their all!

The auction was heating up, starting with a bang.

After a moment of surprise, people began to wonder who would finally claim the Blossom Rain ring.

"Do you think the guy in the VIP Zone will bid again?"

"It's already at 250 million, bidding more would be crazy."

"Poverty limits your imagination. They have no grasp of real money! I bet he'll bid again!"

...

"Two hundred and fifty million, once!" the auctioneer exclaimed excitedly. The entire room went quiet.

Zachary and Alice wore smug looks on their faces. They watched Robin in the VIP Zone, anticipating his next move.

They thought they could make him regret his decision!

"Two hundred and fifty million, twice!"

The auctioneer's enthusiastic voice filled the silent space, raising the tension among everyone present.

Zachary and Alice's hearts raced, almost bursting from their chests. But as the auctioneer's voice faded, they realized they hadn't seen Robin raise his paddle to bid again.
