C275 Fighting with the Hegemon for Riches?
"What did you say!" Mrs. Nie immediately flew into a rage when she heard this. She did not think that this Loong Wei would actually reject her again and again. This was simply preposterous!
First was the Beauty Pill, and now it was this Jade Box. Loong Wei had opposed her again and again!
"Loong Wei, you better be smarter. There are some things that are not suitable for someone like you. You must understand the principle that a man who is not guilty of having a treasure will be punished for his crime!" Mrs. Nie warned him coldly.
"Then you can try it." Loong Wei could tell what Mrs. Nie meant. If he did not sell the Jade Box to her, the Nie Family was going to take it by force.
Perhaps other people would give in because of the Nie Family's power, but it was obvious that Loong Wei wouldn't take it.
"You!" Mrs. Nie was humiliated in front of everyone, and her face instantly turned livid with anger. Her willowy eyebrows stood up straight.
Loong Wei did not bother with this self-righteous woman and directly said to Half-immortal Liu. "Didn't you say that you have another divine weapon? Show me."
Only now did Half-immortal Liu recover from her shock. She wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and led Loong Wei out of the secret chamber.
Behind her, Mrs. Nie gritted her teeth and looked at Loong Wei's figure. "Fine, you have guts. Just you wait. I will let you know the consequences of offending the Nie Family! "
"Mr Loong, could that Jade Box be the legendary Ghost Gate?" Half-immortal Liu, who was walking in front, still had lingering fears.
"I don't know." Loong Wei shook his head.
"You, don't know?" Half-immortal Liu was confused when she heard what Loong Wei said. She said, "Legend has it that the Gates of Hell is a great secret treasure. It is said that it can open the Gates of Hell, including the Yin and Yang Realm."
"However, I only heard about it. As for whether it is true or not... But..."
"The gates of hell?" Loong Wei touched the name. He didn't know much about these mysterious things.
Half-immortal Liu soon brought Loong Wei to another exhibition hall. "Mr Loong, this is the auction hall. Those things are here. But... "
Half-immortal Liu blushed. " The divine weapons that I mentioned are mostly scrap metal. Most of them were unearthed from the ancient tomb. They might be of high cultural value. If you want to talk about practical use, then... "
Half-immortal Liu was worried that Loong Wei would not come, so she fabricated a set of nonsense about divine weapons. Now, she could only tell the truth.
Loong Wei looked at the embarrassed Half-immortal Liu and shook his head slightly. He didn't think that this old man would use any means to trick him into coming here.
"Forget it. It's fine to watch the auction." Since he was already here, he would just take a look.
The auction in the exhibition hall had already started a long time ago. Loong Wei found a seat at the back and sat down. Then, he heard Auctioneer's introduction on the stage, "The next auction item is a bronze sword from the Spring and Autumn Era. According to legend, it was forged by Master Swordsmith Ou Yezi!"
As they spoke, two women in qipao carried a long wooden box onto the stage.
Auctioneer opened the wooden box and a bronze sword that was mottled with rust suddenly appeared. The sword was rotten beyond recognition.
"Damn, this is the Spring and Autumn Sword?"
"Isn't this just a pile of scrap metal?"
There was a burst of ridicule coming from the auction stands.
Although Half-immortal Liu did not understand these auction items, seeing that this copper sword was already rotten to such an extent, it was simply impossible for someone to want it. Hence, she muttered to herself, "Already rotten to such an extent, who would want it, unless it is a madman!"
Loong Wei's eyes had been looking at the rotting sword. That's right, the bronze sword was indeed rotten to the core, but there was a solemn sword intent hidden within the sword body, and it was an exceptionally shocking secret!
"The base price of this Spring and Autumn Sword is 10 million! Each bid is one million, and the auction starts now!"
The crowd fell silent. No one raised their cards. This copper sword was so rotten, let alone appraising it! It was afraid that even the value of archaeological research would be lost... Who would spend ten million to buy such a trash home?
Auctioneer, who was on the stage, felt awkward. If the auction went viral, his commission would be greatly discounted.
At this moment, a powerful voice came from behind the auction stage, "Eleven million!"
Seeing that someone had finally raised his hand, he looked in Loong Wei's direction and said, "Two hundred and thirty-one, sir, bid eleven million. Is there any higher bid?"
Everyone looked back at the unfamiliar young man in the corner and shook their heads. "This guy must be full. He spent so much money to buy a piece of scrap metal. Silly people have a lot of money! "
"Mr Loong, you?" Half-immortal Liu was also slightly stunned. She did not understand why Loong Wei was interested in this scrap metal.
But just now, he had seen Loong Wei's extraordinary means. With a thought, could it be that there was some kind of secret behind this bronze sword?
Half-immortal Liu looked at the expressionless Loong Wei and her heart was in turmoil.
Seeing that no one else made a bid, Auctioneer called out a few more times. Is there any higher bid? Eleven million going once, eleven million going twice..."
As he spoke, Auctioneer raised the mallet in his hand and shouted. "Eleven million going thrice, done..."
Before he could finish, a woman's voice came from the door, "Twenty million!"
"Boom!"
The auction hall was in an uproar. Everyone stood up and looked at the entrance. They saw two women walking in, one in front and one behind.
The one in the lead was Mrs. Nie, who had an angry expression on her face. Behind her, there was also a female servant's flowerbed.
"Are you for real? Which idiot made the bid? 20 million? Is there something wrong with it?" A short and fat man sneered.
The person beside him quickly shouted, "Don't speak nonsense. You even dare to scold Mrs. Nie. You don't want to live anymore!"
"Which Mrs. Nie?" The short and fat man was stunned by his words, but he quickly reacted. "Could she be the wife of the patriarch of Nie Family, nie Xiongfei?"
"Nonsense! Besides her, who would dare to call her that?!" Everyone looked at the graceful Mrs. Nie, and their hearts were filled with confusion. Why was the dignified Mrs. Nie also interested in this piece of scrap metal?
However, Auctioneer who was on the stage was overjoyed. There was actually someone who was interested in this broken piece of metal once. This was a huge fortune from the heavens!
Loong Wei smiled faintly and raised his hand. "21 million."
Before Auctioneer could say anything, Mrs. Nie shouted again, "30 million!"
After saying that, she gave Loong Wei a contemptuous smile, as if to say that she wanted to fight with the Nie Family, but Loong Wei was still far from it.
The others also noticed some clues and started whispering to each other.
"Does Mrs. Nie have a conflict with that young man? Look at her behavior, it doesn't seem like she's here to auction, but more like she's here to fight!"
Everyone's eyes kept moving back and forth between Loong Wei and Mrs. Nie. They did not know what was going on.
Mrs. Nie smiled calmly and looked at Loong Wei who was sitting opposite of her. She provoked him. "I am determined to get this bronze sword. I don't believe that there is anyone in Guang Province who is richer than our Nie Family!"
It was obvious that Loong Wei's repeated rejection had infuriated this woman who thought highly of herself. She swore to herself that she would teach this Loong Wei a good lesson!
