Chapter 889
No wonder Ruby had told her before that the auction for the Green Velvet might not be held for a month in time. It would probably take a few months, but this time, it was suddenly put up for auction.
Old Master Lou’s body couldn’t be dragged on any longer. Old Master Lou hastily ended his speech and switched to the host to introduce tonight’s auction item.
“Everyone, there’s a booklet of items on your right…”
Melody Fox casually picked up the booklet and glanced at it.
The auction items tonight were indeed extraordinary. The lowest bid was 200 thousand dollar bracelets.
Melody Fox quickly noticed an antique thumb ring. The emerald green color was exceptionally beautiful. It was a true imperial green, and the carving technique was very high.
However, what Melody Fox noticed was not the ring itself, but that it came from Pearly Antiques.
Pearly Antiques was something that Ken Swanson had always wanted to take back.
Melody Fox did not hesitate at all. He pointed at the thumb ring in the manual and whispered to Spencer, “In a while, you’ll be in charge of bidding for this thumb ring. No matter how high the price is, you have to win it.”
Spencer used to work for Ken Swanson, so he naturally knew why Melody Fox wanted to bid for this ring.
He nodded solemnly. “Don’t worry, leave it to me.”
Melody Fox grunted and continued flipping through the manual. Soon, he reached the column that introduced the Green Velvet.
The Green Velvet was a synthetic pill. The size of the particles was only one size smaller than a table tennis ball. It was used to crush powder and flush it.
Moreover, the production method of the Green Velvet was similar to that of ancient emperors refining immortality medicine. It was also refined using a pill furnace, and the success rate was extremely low.
According to Melody Fox’s knowledge, the Green Velvet required countless rare and precious herbs ingredients to be refined. The low success rate of the ingredients and materials directly led to the high price. Ordinary people would never be able to afford even half a pill in their entire lives. It was an “immortal pill” that only belonged to rich people.
However, just like what Fox had said when she was chatting with Jian Huan previously, ordinary illnesses did not need the Green Velvet medicine.
Many people bought the Green Velvet for the sake of collecting or buying it before selling it at a higher price to earn the difference.
A few minutes later, the auction officially began.
The first item was an antique night pearl. It was said to have come from the tomb of a certain empress dowager from a certain dynasty.
To Melody Fox’s surprise, many people raised signs to bid for this Night Pearl.
However, from the looks of it, many people were not here just for the Green Velvet.
Soon, it reached the thumb ring that Melody Fox had his eyes on.
Spencer kept raising his sign. Finally, after calling out a price of 6200 thousand dollars, there were no more competitors. After bidding, a customer in the second row could not help but turn to look at them.
After their gazes met, the person kindly reminded them, Gentlemen, the highest price of this thumb ring on the market is 4200 thousand dollars. You’ve suffered a loss…”
Melody Fox smiled and said without changing his expression, “Thank you for the reminder. This is my father’s beloved item. I will bid for it even if it’s an additional zero.”
“I see.”
When the other party heard this, he stopped persuading and turned his head back.
Melody Fox was about to lean back in his chair when he felt a gaze staring at him from behind.
She subconsciously turned around and met Ken Swanson’s gaze.
Ken Swanson was actually sitting right behind her!
Melody Fox’s eyes suddenly widened. A line of words floated above his head: What Fox?
Ken Swanson did not answer. Instead, he mouthed three words, “Good daughter.”
Damn, pervert!
‘You called me Dad yourself.’
-Then you’re also a damn pervert!
The two of them mouthed to each other. It was Spencer who reminded her in a low voice, “Miss Fox. The next item is the Green Velvet.”
Melody Fox came back to his senses and glared at Ken Swanson before turning around.
However, she also discovered that as long as Ken Swanson appeared, Fox seemed to have pressed the acceleration button.
It was probably because of the sentence “their Happy moment is always short-lived” that he felt that the time had become faster.
Different players finally played.
The etiquette lady in a cheongsam walked onto the stage with a tray.
On the tray was a box made of sandalwood.
After the box was opened, a brown pill was revealed to everyone.
“Tsk tsk, seeing is better than hearing. So this is the Green Velvet.”
“It looks a little like the Blood Palace’s Pursuing Fruit Pill. It looks about the same size.”
“If only it was the same as the Blood Palace’s Blood Purge Pill. You could buy an entire box for less than 20 dollars.”
“Hehe, if it’s as you said, then those who bought it back to collect will cry to death. I remember that the Green Velvet from the last auction sold for 12 million dollars, right?”
“If I remember correctly, it’s indeed 12 million dollars. This thing is like a house. Those who really need it can’t wait to buy it for one dollar. They don’t need it for the first time, but they have a lot. They can’t wait to get a hundred times more expensive every day.”
“Isn’t it?”
As soon as the Green Velvet appeared, the crowd immediately started discussing.
Those who did not plan to shoot the Green Velvet also joined the discussion.
Without a doubt, the Green Velvet was the most eye-catching item tonight.
However, it was over millions of dollars after all. There were probably not many people who would really bid.
Sure enough, just as Melody Fox had guessed after the host called out the starting bid of one thousand dollars million, only six or seven signs raised the price.
Melody Fox did not raise her card. She just sat there and waited.
“12 million dollars.”
Jian Huan directly called out the previous transaction price.
This action directly dissuaded two of them.
“6,200 thousand dollars.”
“63200 thousand dollars.”
Jian Huan raised her card again. “14 million dollars!”
With this bid, two more people put down their bidding signs.
“76200 thousand dollars!”
Jian Huan raised her sign again.
“16 million dollars.”
The venue fell silent.
The price of 16 million dollars could be considered to have broken through the new high of 46,467,775,907. If she really bought 16 million dollars, it would probably be very difficult to recover her capital.
Fox, Melody Fox finally raised the sign in her hand.
“18 million dollars.”
Jian Huan turned around. When their eyes met, Jian Huan shouted again, “20 million dollars.”
“20 million dollars!!!” Everyone exclaimed.
The guest who had reminded Melody Fox to lose money turned around again and kindly reminded her, “Young lady, 20 million dollars can’t be reimbursed. Don’t bid anymore.” As soon as they finished speaking, Melody Fox raised her card again. “20 million dollars4 million dollars.”
Even Jian Huan revealed a shocked expression.
She thought that 20 million dollars Melody Fox would give up at most, but she did not expect…
However, Jian Huan did not panic at all. No matter how much she shouted, in the end, she paid 4,646,775,905 dollars in advance.
This was the so-called internal decision.
Thinking of this, Jian Huan leisurely raised his card again and said, “4,628,304,532,660,000.”
The crowd was in an uproar.
“Are these two people crazy? They actually called out such a high price…”
“46,467,775,905 people will be so happy. They’re really stupid and rich.”
“We’re all young girls. Let’s, not steam steamed buns and work hard!”
Everyone quickly found the reason they thought it was: the two girls were fighting.
Their goal was not the Green Velvet medicine at all, but to suppress each other.
It was exciting.
