The Legendary Man Chapter 435

Just Terrible

The beautiful woman in blue was none other than Sandra Haberly, the eldest daughter of the Haberly family.

She could sense that the tension between Room 0 and Room 9 was like a ticking time bomb. This was the first time she had gone on stage.

But with a few words, she had smoothed over this simmering conflict.

Since she could not offend both parties, she had to use this method to ensure that a fight did not break out.

The guest in Room 0 was the first to break the silence. “Since Room 9 wants the pendant so badly, I’m willing to let him have it.”

This only served to make Logan angry. He slammed a fist onto the table and said, “Who the hell does he think he is? He’ll let us have it? Do we need him to let us have it? We’re fighting for it fair and square because we have the means to. We’re not a goddamned charity case!”

“All right, calm down. There’s no need for a temper right now.” After hearing Logan’s tirade, Jonathan could feel an ache in his temples. “Logan, when can you get rid of this horrible temper? You can’t get riled up at every little thing! It has been years and you’ve not even changed!”

“Mr. Goldstein, I—” After hearing Jonathan chiding him, Logan went red in the face and tried to explain.

However, Jonathan cut him off, “That’s enough. Just drop it. As long as I get the pendant, that’s all that matters.”

“Yes, Mr. Goldstein,” replied Logan through clenched teeth. He was unwilling to even look at the screen.

When Sandra heard what the man in Room 0 said, she hurriedly declared, “Since it has come to this, then the dragon-patterned jade pendant is now sold to the guest in Room 9!”

Without wasting any time, Sandra immediately brought out the next item. “Our next lot is the star of the show, ladies and gentlemen! A meteorite from outer space! Nobody knows where it came from and what it does. The only thing we can be certain of is that this is the chunk of a meteorite that has been unofficially preserved.

“The starting price of this meteorite is ten million. Each subsequent bid cannot be lower than one million. With that, I declare this lot open for bidding!”

Sandra dared not stay on the topic of the dragon-patterned jade pendant. She knew very well that dwelling on the subject was more likely to stir the pot and start a fight if she were not careful.

If that erupted, it would be a fight that the auction house could not afford to have.

“Twenty million!”

Just as Sandra finished speaking, the man with the hoarse voice from Room 0 spoke again.

“Twenty million! The guest in Room 0 has bid twenty million. Do I hear offers for more?”

Sandra held onto the microphone and looked at the audience. Compared to the previous auctioneer, Sandra seemed to be in her element.

“Thirty million!”

Jonathan’s voice could then be heard calling out a greater figure from Room 9. The audience was stunned, and so was Sandra.

It seemed that another showdown was about to happen.

The audience thought that the guests in Room 0 and Room 9 had something against each other.

“The guests in Room 9 bid thirty million. Is there a bid higher than thirty million?” When Jonathan made his bid, Sandra was taken aback as well.

She never thought that Jonathan would confront the guest in Room 0 again.

“Fifty million!”

As soon as the guest in Room 0 opened their mouth, they offered fifty million as though it was chump change to them.
