    Jack was losing his mind!


    He was a well-respected figure in his city and throughout the country. Everyone present today held him in high regard, yet this young kid was showing him nothing but arrogance. He had attempted to undermine Jack on several asions, which was incredibly frustrating!


    What made matters worse was that he actually had the audacity to scold him!


    This kid must have a death wish!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Those at the auction were equally stunned.


    Who was this young man, and what gave him the nerve to confront and chastise Jack? Was he truly tired of living? Jack was a Feng Shui master with countless methods to deal with someone like him without shedding a drop of blood!


    Despite Jack’s growing fury, he remained calm and collected, determined to acquire the m at a lower price. He managed to keep his cool and smiled as he said, “My friend, I understand that we’ve had some misunderstandings earlier today, but this seems a bit excessive. If you’re bidding against me solely because of that minor issue, wouldn’t that be a bit vengeful?”


    Jack had his sights set on securing the m for fifteen million dors. He recognized that engaging in a direct confrontation with Charlie would most likely push the next bid past thirty million dors.


    He didn’t want to spend that much money today!


    So, he held back and hoped that Charlie would reconsider his bid.


    He nned to settle the score with him after sessfully acquiring the m for fifteen million dors!


    Charlie, however, saw right through Jack’s intentions. With a sneer, he retorted, “Stop with the nonsense; I’m interested in this m too. If you can’t afford my asking price, then feel free to withdraw your bid!”


    Things were escting again!


    Oh my!


    This young man had actually dared to tell Jack to back out of the bidding…


    That was a bit much, wasn’t it?


    Jack wore a frosty expression, but in his effort to save money, he spoke gently again. “I really want this m. Can you please let me have it?”


    Charlie looked at him coolly before responding, “Why should I? Do I even know you?”


    Then, he added, “Hey, can you just let me know if you can afford to bid against me?”


    Jack’s expression turned sour. No one had ever dared to speak to him like that!


    Moreover, this kid couldn’t be more than twenty years old! He was even younger than all of Jack’s disciples and grandchildren!


    Jack’s annoyance bubbled over, and he dropped the pretense. “It’s shocking that someone would refuse to show respect to me, the esteemed Mr. Yaleman! Alright then. Since this is a fairpetition, let the highest bidder take the treasure home! I’m eager to see just how wealthy you really are and how you n to take this m from me!”


    With that, Jack raised his hand and dered, “Fifty million dors!”


    As soon as he made his bid, murmurs spread through the audience once again.


    It felt like the auction hall had transformed into a high-stakes gambling den, with the atmosphere bing increasingly electric.


    The rules were straightforward!


    It all came down to who had more cash!


    The one with the most money would reign supreme!


    Jack had a clear strategy in mind. He believed that if he engaged Charlie in a gradual bidding war, it would drag on indefinitely. Thus, he aimed to intimidate Charlie with a staggering bid that would leave him breathless. That’s why he called for fifty million dors right away, confident that Charlie wouldn’t be able to match it!


    But Charlie maintained a straight face before he responded, “One hundred million dors!”


    The auction price had doubled again!


    The tension in the auction hall was palpable.


    Within mere minutes, the price of the treasure had skyrocketed tenfold! This was a remarkable and unforgettable moment in auction history!<fneec3> Follow current nov?ls on findnovel</fneec3>


    At that moment, Adam couldn’t help but shout, “Charlie! Are you certain you have that kind of money, or are you just putting on a show?”


    Charlie couldn’t help but burst intoughter. “Yes, I have the funds right now. Why? Are you still skeptical? Let me rify— the ck card I’ve been using for all my purchases belongs to the Quinton family. Your uncle gave it to me. So, is this truly unexpected? Are you surprised?”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
