Chapter 1039 Buying Spree
“Ladies and gentlemen, I would first like to thank you for attending the auction. The items on the block today are extremely valuable, for I have discovered them from a ship sunk a thousand years ago. If there’s anything you fancy, you have to act fast before it’s too late!”
Holding the microphone in his hand, Freddy declared excitedly, “And now, let the auction begin!”
Just as he finished, a crystal vase as tall as a person was brought on stage.
The moment he laid eyes on it, Walter’s face lit up.
After a round of intense bidding, he won the bid for the vase at fifty million.
Subsequently, Walter couldn’t control his excitement as he continued to bid for the subsequent items with a vengeance.
After buying up more than ten items, Walter wasn’t satisfied at all. In fact, both his eyes had turned red.
It felt as if that was the most enjoyable auction he had ever attended.
After a while, Walter’s behavior began attracting everyone’s attention. Although all of them were rich, it was the first time they saw someone bid so indiscriminately. In fact, even Skylar was dumbstruck by what he saw.
Meanwhile, Freddy, who was sitting in the front row, couldn’t resist turning around and giving Walter an indiscernible look.
“Grandpa, it’s time to stop, as you have already spent a lot. In fact, you have finished all the money Kai gave you.”
Realizing that everyone was staring at them, Lizbeth quickly gave Walter’s sleeve a tug.
Jolted back to his senses by Lizbeth’s reminder, Walter explained awkwardly, “I just got carried away after seeing so many antiques. Don’t worry. I’ll stop now.”
“Lizbeth, since your grandpa is enjoying himself, you should let him buy till his heart’s content, as antiques retrieved from the ocean are hard to come by. Besides, I still have some money with me,” William added with a chuckle.
