When the price was announced, the whole audience was shocked. Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhuge Lan again, and exclamations and discussions arose one after another.

"Who is this? The people in the VIP area are actually starting to challenge us!"

one man exclaimed.

"Two million gold soul coins, this is not a small amount!"

The woman next to him sighed.

"I saw that the two of them seemed to have an argument at the beginning. I guess the two families must have had a quarrel."

Another man said.

At this time, the old man also said:

"It's a fight between the rich and powerful. It seems like there's no hope for an old man like me to get the Ocean Star Necklace."

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.

The woman also said:
"Now it's time to watch a good show, a fight between the rich and powerful."

At this time.

Tang Xu's face turned extremely ugly. He didn't expect that someone would dare to bid at this time.

He stared at Zhuge Lan, his eyes burning with anger.

"What do you mean? How dare you ruin my good thing!"

Tang Xu said through gritted teeth.

Zhuge Lan, however, looked indifferent and said:
"Auctions are supposed to be fair competition. If you can bid, why can't I?"

The host was extremely excited at this time, and his voice was trembling:
"Two million gold soul coins! Is there a higher bid?"

The butler beside Tang Xu also quickly moved closer to him and whispered:
"Master, this price is beyond our budget, how about..."

Tang Xu glared at the housekeeper fiercely:
"No! I must get this necklace."

He pressed the button again and shouted:

"Two million one million gold soul coins!"

Zhuge Lan did not hesitate and raised the price again:

"Two million and two hundred thousand gold soul coins!"

After he finished speaking, the entire auction hall was greeted with cheers.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense. Everyone looked at Tang Xu, waiting for his next move.

Tang Xu's face turned pale. He didn't expect Zhuge Lan to be so difficult to deal with.

"Two million three hundred thousand gold soul coins!"

Tang Xu almost shouted out the price.

These words aroused another round of cheers, and everyone looked at Zhuge Lan again.

The two of them have become the focus of this auction item. It is no longer a simple competition for the Star of the Sea necklace, but more like a fight for their personal honor.

Zhuge Lan pressed the button again, shook his handsome hair, and then posed in a victory pose and said:

"Two and a half million!"

Amid the deafening cheers in the auction hall, Tang Xu stamped his feet in anger. He said to Zhuge Lan viciously:
"You poor boy, do you know the strength of my White Elephant Family? If you piss me off, you'll be in trouble."

Zhuge Lan was not afraid at all:
"Tsk, so what about the White Elephant Family? I've never been afraid of them."

Tang Xu was so angry at Zhuge Lan's arrogant attitude that he gritted his teeth.

Seeing this, Tang Xu's housekeeper hurried forward to hold Tang Xu back. He whispered to comfort him:

"Master, don't bother with them. There's no need to ruin your mood because of them. The current price is far more than the value of this necklace. It's not worth bidding any further."

but.

Tang Xu had always been spoiled and pampered, so he had never been provoked like this.

He pressed the button again and shouted:

"Two million eight hundred thousand!"

Zhuge Lan frowned slightly and thought:

"This kid really dares to shout like that." Zhuge Lan looked at Dugu Bo, his eyes seemed to be asking him for advice.

Dugu Bo stroked his green beard and said calmly:
"Since Young Master Tang is so thoughtful and spends a lot of money to buy a necklace to please the beauty, it can be said that he is full of sincerity. We can't be an obstacle to him, right? We should have a heart to help others achieve their goals. Let's give this necklace to Young Master Tang!"

After hearing what Dugu Bo said, Zhuge Lan's eyes rolled and he then gave a wicked smile.

He deliberately raised his voice and shouted at Tang Xu:

"Hey, Mr. Tang, congratulations! You are rich and powerful, so this necklace belongs to you. I hope you can please the beauty with it. Don't let the beauty look down on you, that would be embarrassing."

Tang Xu's face darkened and he shouted angrily:
"Humph, poor boy, you think you can fight me?"

Zhuge Lan also spread his hands, showing a look of surrender, returned to his seat, picked up the snacks and started eating.

The host was also keeping his eyes closely on the development of the situation in the VIP area.

When he saw Zhuge Lan return to his seat, he understood what he meant.

The host drew everyone's attention back to the auction table and began to count down again. His voice was particularly loud in the silent auction hall:
"If no one raises the price again, I'll start counting down."

"Two million eight hundred thousand for once!"

"Two million eight hundred thousand twice!"

He paused for a moment, and after making sure that no one was raising the price, he shouted in a louder voice:

"One million, six hundred thousand three times! Deal! Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the Ocean Star Necklace!"

As the hammer in the host's hand fell heavily with a crisp sound, this fierce bidding finally came to an end.

There was huge applause throughout the auction hall.

“I didn’t expect that the competition would be so fierce for this first lot!”

A man said excitedly.

"That's right, the two people in the VIP area are really at odds with each other."

The man next to him responded.

"But this price is too high. Two million eight hundred thousand gold soul coins is enough for an ordinary person to spend in several lifetimes."

Another woman sighed.

"That's a fight between wealthy families. Let's just watch the excitement."

An old man shook his head and said.

"The person who took the photo of the necklace seems to be Tang Xu from the White Elephant Family. Tang Xu must have been so angry that he spent so much money on a necklace."

Another person analyzed.

"You can't say that. The White Elephant Family is rich. Maybe this little money is nothing to them."

Someone immediately retorted.

“This first lot is so exciting, the following lots will definitely be more exciting.”

Someone said expectantly.

"Yes, I hope to see more fights between the big families. That would be interesting."

echoed another.

at this time.

Tang Xu looked at the envious eyes cast towards him from the audience in the auction hall, with a smug look on his face.

He raised his chin slightly, his eyes full of pride, as if he had won an important victory.

At this time.

The etiquette lady held the exquisite box containing the Star of the Ocean necklace in her hands and walked towards the VIP area where Tang Xu was with elegant steps.

She was wearing a blue and white porcelain cheongsam, as if she had walked out of a classical painting.

The color of the cheongsam is like the elegant blue-green color of ancient blue-and-white porcelain, exuding a tranquil and mysterious atmosphere.

The fabric of the cheongsam is delicate and has a slight luster under the light.

The close-fitting cut perfectly outlines the graceful figure of the etiquette lady, with a slender waist that can be held in one hand. The slender legs are faintly visible in the slits, showing the feminine beauty and elegance... (End of this chapter)
