The Legendary Man novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87 Respect

“A hundred and ten million!”

Just when everyone was still in shock at the starting bid, someone from the private rooms on the second floor had already increased it.

“A hundred and twenty million!”

It was followed by another bid from one of the private rooms.

“A hundred and thirty million!”

“A hundred and fifty million!”

In a blink of an eye, the lavender jade figurine’s price escalated to a hundred and fifty million.

All in less than a minute.

Subconsciously, those in the grand hall began to look toward the second floor.

It was then they realized the truly wealthy were all seated in the private rooms there.

Inside room number six, Jonathan had lit a cigarette and was scrutinizing the figurine.

Just from its color alone, one can tell that it’s made from premium quality imperial jade. Also, since it’s sculpted by Roscoe, its value is beyond measurable.

When Jonathan was still a live-in son-in-law at the Smith residence, he had already heard of Roscoe and knew that he was the nation’s greatest carver.

The figurine seems to make a good present for Josephine’s annual party, doesn’t it?

Finally, Jonathan, who was largely bored throughout, had taken interest in one of the items. He called out over his microphone, “Two hundred million!”

Two hundred million?

The entire hall fell silent the moment they heard his bid.

Even though everyone in the private rooms was filthy rich, they had only made ten million increments. However, Jonathan shocked everyone by jumping fifty million right away.

“Our distinguished guest from room number six has bid two hundred million. Does anyone else have a higher bid?” The moment she heard the bid, Luna turned to look at room number six by reflex.

She could recognize Jonathan’s voice from over the speakers.

“Two hundred and ten million!” Just when Jonathan announced his bid, someone had already beaten it.

“Two hundred and fifty million,” Jonathan calmly countered.

He had made a huge increment of forty million again.

The moment he finished, the crowd went wild.

They had never seen anyone splurge with such recklessness before.

Despite it being tens of millions, Jonathan made it sound like it was just some small change.

“Our guest from room number six has increased his bid to two hundred and fifty million!” Even Luna was shocked when she heard Jonathan up his offer.

Evidently, she had not expected Jonathan to be so generous in his bidding.

“Two hundred and fifty million! Is there anyone willing to make a higher bid?” Luna’s voice was already trembling.

After all, she would receive a commission for all the items that were sold at the auction.

The higher the price they were sold at, the higher her commission was.

“Two hundred and sixty million!” It was the same voice that competed with Jonathan earlier. However, one could hear him gritting his teeth when he announced his bid.

“Three hundred million!”

Jonathan didn’t want to waste any time.
