Chapter 107 On the verge of breaking out

Chapter 108: On the verge of breaking out

After finishing the Cruel Cigar, I walked towards the auction house, shaking my numb arms, and I couldn't help but sigh. The price of using the Barrett is a bit high. My body has become smaller, and the powerful recoil of the armor-piercing bullets is a bit too much for me to bear. It seems that I have to strengthen my physical exercise again when I have time. Even though my physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people, if I meet a real top killer, I will be in trouble.

"Mr. Mingya, where are you?" Just as I was walking back, a pleasant voice sounded in my ears. It was Ningxue's voice, and she was talking to me using Shoulang's headphones.

"What's wrong?" Hearing Ningxue's somewhat anxious voice, I couldn't help but quicken my pace. I had only been away for a short while, it couldn't be such a coincidence that something really happened, right?

"The boss seems to be in some trouble." Ningxue said with some concern.

"Trouble? Hunshang took action?!" I was surprised. Taking action now? No, the auction hasn't ended yet. Besides, if he took action in front of so many security guards, no matter how strong Hunshang was, he wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.

"No, it was the Red Snake King that made the move." Ning Xue said softly. "Just now, the auction started in the western inland area, with a reserve price of 100 billion, but before the boss could bid, the Red Snake King called out a price of 150 billion. The boss is a little undecided now, so he can only raise the price little by little, waiting for your arrival."

"Hiss... Looks like the snake figured it out." I frowned as I analyzed as I walked. "What's the price?"

"The boss just said 163 billion. And the Red Snake has already raised it to 180 billion."

"Tsk, a tug-of-war?" I sneered. "Tell Skinny Wolf to just say 200 billion."

"But... won't we have enough money to get the last piece of land?" Ning Xue wondered.
"It's okay, shout!"

"I understand. I'll tell the boss right away." Ningxue put Shoulang's headphones on the sofa, walked slowly to Shoulang and conveyed my words to him exactly as they were.

"Two hundred billion? Then we only have one hundred and fifty billion left. What should we do with the next piece of land?" Skinny Wolf frowned.

"Mr. Mingya didn't explain anything, he just asked us to call out this price." Ningxue looked at Shoulang nervously. After all, Ningxue couldn't afford such a decisive thing.

"...Okay, let's fight." Skinny Wolf let out a long breath, raised his hand, and shouted out his price. "Two hundred billion!"

"Hey, has the old fox finally made up his mind?" The red-banded king snake licked the corner of his mouth and said bloodthirstily. "Two hundred and thirty billion!"

"Chi, you have to be careful. Our funds cannot support you to ask for too high a price." Hunshang said stiffly beside Akano Yuichi.

"Hey, don't worry, that old fox will soon spit out all the money. By then, naturally no one will compete with us for the core area." Akano Yuichi laughed wantonly. As expected, the skinny wolf quickly called out his price.

"Two hundred and forty billion."

"Wow, you have a lot of money, Skinny Wolf!" The Scarlet Snake shouted at Skinny Wolf. "I don't know where you got so much money from, but I won't let you get what you want. Two hundred and fifty billion!"

"...Damn it." At this time, sweat had already appeared on Skinny Wolf's head. 250 billion, to be honest, he no longer had the strength to compete. Although he still had 300 billion, he would not be able to take the last piece of land anyway. Gritting his teeth, Skinny Wolf decided to take over this inland area first. So Skinny Wolf raised his hand again and prepared to shout out his price.

"Two thousand six hundred..."

Snapped...

Before the skinny wolf could raise his hand completely, a tender arm grabbed his wrist.

"Mr. Mingya?" Seeing the pale golden color beside him, Shoulang felt relieved. Although he had the final say here, he was using someone else's money after all. It was much better to have Mingya come forward than to do it himself.

"Pass." I didn't say anything else, just uttered a word softly.

"Huh? Pass?" Skinny Wolf was surprised.

"Ah, give up." I let go of the hand that was holding the skinny wolf and looked coldly at the Red-Snake King Snake and Hunshang in the opposite stands.

"Why?" Skinny Wolf was puzzled.

"I'll tell you later. Give it up first."

"...I understand." After saying that, Skinny Wolf slowly sat down, saying nothing, waiting for the host's decision.

"Two hundred and fifty billion three times! Deal!"

"What?!" After the MC's hammer fell, the Red Snake's face was filled with shock. He called out such a high price in order to make Skinny Wolf cough up all his assets. If Skinny Wolf really wanted to swallow up the two plots of land behind, he would have at least 300 billion in funds. So the Red Snake was betting that Skinny Wolf would continue to bid after he called out the price this time. However, all this was stopped by a child with pale golden hair. 250 billion is also a considerable sum for the Red Snake. After spending this money, he only had less than 200 billion in funds left.

"Where did you come from, you little bastard, to ruin my good deeds!" Akano Yuichi looked at me angrily, as if he wanted to tear me apart alive.

"Hmph, a clown." I shook my head in disdain and sat down on the sofa.

"you!"

"Calm down, my brother." Hunshang held back the furious Akano Yuichi. "Chi, that kid is not simple." "What did you say?!" The red-banded king snake looked at Hunshang in surprise.

"When he looked at us, I could clearly feel the pressure."

"No way? That's just a child!" said the Red-banded King Snake in disbelief.

"Although I don't feel threatened by that child, I can't be mistaken for the aura of a master." Hunshang stared at the pale golden color, and the murderous aura around him emanated unconsciously.

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

"Ladies and gentlemen, this auction has entered its final stage. The reserve price for the last core area will exceed 150 billion. Those who think they are unable to attend the auction can leave first. Our passenger ship is already on standby at the port. As a thank you for participating in this auction, we have prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone on board. Please come and join us. The final auction will be held in one hour. Please be prepared." At this moment, the person speaking on the stage was not the emcee of the auction just now, but another man. Although he was also wearing the emcee's clothes, it was obvious that I saw a hint of hostility in his eyes. Needless to say, this man must be a minion of the black forces under the government. He now announced the reserve price of the last core area and told irrelevant people that they could leave, which proved that there might be bloodshed in the subsequent auction.

"Axue." I said expressionlessly, glancing at the new emcee standing on the stage.

"Mr. Mingya." Ningxue responded.

"This thing is for you." I took out something similar to a remote control from my arms and handed it to Ningxue.

"This is not..." Ningxue looked at the thing in her hand puzzledly.

"Use it when the time is right." I gave Ningxue a trusting look. "My life is in your hands."

“...Yes!” Facing my gaze, Ningxue’s eyes were full of determination.

"Come on, Skinny Wolf, let's go get the last piece of the puzzle together." I stood up with an evil smile.

"Everything is up to you, Mr. Mingya." The thin wolf also stood up. He didn't ask me the reason, because he knew that the resources in the hands of the last enemy were not enough to compete with him for the last piece of land. He also knew that the next thing would probably have to be resolved by force.

After the host finished speaking, the participants began to leave one after another. The black forces all knew the rules. Those who did not have enough money to deliver food would naturally leave first, and most of the serious participants also left because of insufficient funds. Of course, there were also some fools who wanted to stay and watch the final battle, but the government is the government after all. They quickly sent bodyguards to persuade these fools to leave. After nearly half an hour of evacuation, finally, except for the skinny wolf and the red snake king, there were only a few fearless black forces in the auction, ready to wait for an opportunity to get a share of the next battle.

"Well, the last piece of land is about to be auctioned, and the rest of you know the rules, so I won't waste any more words." The emcee smiled contemptuously and pressed the button at hand. Layers of thick protective shields rose up, probably to take precautions against possible emergencies that might occur later.

"Core area. One hundred and sixty billion. The auction begins now!" With the fall of the emcee's hammer, the auction of the last piece of land officially began. However, the beginning was short and the end was quick.

"One hundred and eighty billion!"

"Two hundred billion!"

"..."

After the two bids, the whole audience was silent. It was not because they were shocked by the high price, but because no one present had expected that what should have been a thrilling tug-of-war would end in such a simple way.

One hundred and eighty billion was what the Red Snake shouted out. That was all the assets he had left after buying the previous territory. Although he still had a lot of land assets in the Kansai region, it was basically impossible for him to raise another sum of money in a short period of time. As for the two hundred billion, you don't need to think about it to know that I shouted it out. I can only sneer at the Red Snake's behavior of throwing away watermelons to pick up sesame seeds. Want to test my waters? You must first have a boat that won't capsize!

Two hundred billion became the highest price without any replacement. The MC didn't bother to call out the number of times and just made the final decision. Looking at the distorted face of the Red Snake, I couldn't help but laugh. Soon, the last contract fell into the hands of the thin wolf, and the next step was the land transfer. The so-called land transfer is naturally a transaction unique to us black forces. Of course, the formal contract still needs to be signed, so no matter who transfers it to whom, it will pass through the hands of the MC who has been protected by layers of protection.

"Shoulang, you are really ruthless. You have occupied six of the nine areas. You can be proud of it!" At the other end of the stands, the red snake looked at Shoulang with a ferocious face.

"Well... it's just normal. I originally wanted to take them all in, but there were always some people who got in the way, so I've only achieved this little bit of success." The Skinny Wolf had a helpless expression on his face, and the Red Snake King Snake was so angry that its eyes almost popped out.

"Yo. From the sound of your voice, you're going to eat this all?"

"Tsk, why do you think I didn't care about the two plots of land falling into other people's hands?" Shoulang shrugged. Just now, two people under his command had already left here with the contract. Shoulang didn't want any more accidents to happen since it was a done deal. Anyway, the two plots of land didn't need to be transferred, and he kept them until now for the purpose of taking the last piece of land to deal with the Red Snake King. Otherwise, he would have left with the people and the land contract.

"Stop making me laugh, stop talking nonsense and spit out the last piece of land quickly!" roared the Red-Snake King Snake.

"Sure, exchange it with the land you have." The thin wolf smiled contemptuously, looking indifferent.

"You!" The Red Snake King was extremely angry. He had bought the land at a price of 250 billion. If he exchanged it like this, he would lose a lot.

"Chi...you decide." The murderous aura around Hunshang on the side continued to surge, as if as long as Akano Yuichi gave the order, he would transform into a prehistoric beast.

"... Bastard." Sparks of anger flashed in the eyes of the Red Snake King. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he fiercely ordered Hun Shang. "Kill him!"

"Yes! Boss!" After receiving the order, Hunshang suddenly burst out with murderous intent, and a military grenade was thrown over by Hunshang with force.

"Get down!" I yelled at Ning Xue as I watched the grenade fly towards me, and at the same time I threw down the thin wolf sitting next to me. At the moment of throwing myself down, I pressed the detonator of the button bomb in my hand.

boom! boom! boom! ! !
Suddenly, the sound of explosions resounded throughout the auction house. The battle was about to begin!
