Jack was going crazy!
He was well-known in his own city and all over the country. Everyone here today respected him with all their hearts but this young kid was actually so arrogant towards him. He had even tried to trample all over him several times already. This was really annoying!
What was even worse was that he actually dared to scold him!
He must have a death wish! 5
The people present at the auction were also shocked a t this time. 1
Who was this young man? Who gave him the courage t o challenge and scold Jack? Was he already tired of living? Jack was a Feng Shui master who had more than ten thousand ways to kill him without involving any blood at all! 6
However, even though Jack was very furious, he remained calm and composed as he wanted to get the clam at a lower price. Therefore, he still maintained his demeanor before he smiled and said, "My friend, I know that we've both had a misunderstanding before the auction earlier but this is a little too much. If you are bidding against me just because of that slight misunderstanding, that would be too revengeful,
right?" 4
Jack was preparing to take home the clam at fifteen million dollars. He knew that if he went straight into a heads on confrontation with Charlie, the next bid will definitely exceed thirty million dollars.
He did not want to spend so much money today!
Therefore, he swallowed and waited with the hopes that Charlie would withdraw his bid.
He would settle the score with him as soon as he bought the clam over for fifteen million dollars!
Charlie could see right through his intentions.
Therefore, he said contemptuously, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm also interested in this clam. If you cannot afford to pay the price I'm asking for, you can back out of the bid!" 2
Things were getting out of hand again!
Oh my!
This young man had actually asked Jack to back out 0 f the bid... 3
That was a little too much, right? 1
Jack had a cold expression on his face but in order to save money, he continued speaking in a gentle tone. "I really like this clam. Can you give me face and just let me have it?" 1
