Part 3
Although he hadn’t seen much of the world, he wasn’t stupid. These people were so fanatical about bidding for this rabbit; their motives were definitely impure. Once taken away by someone with malicious intent, he could guess the outcome just by thinking about it.
The rabbit before him was not only a half-beast like him but also a rabbit, even the fur color was the same.
Seeing the other party made him think of himself.
But at this moment, the bid had reached fifteen million and was clearly still soaring. To really win it would likely cost a considerable sum.
Although his account had all of the old man’s wealth, the old man had instructed before leaving that it was because his uncle refused to accept it, so he should hold onto it for now.
So the star coins in this account were actually still his uncle’s.
If he wanted to spend them, he definitely needed his uncle’s permission.
Hearing Young Master Bai’s words, Ning Yunyi didn’t look at him, still gazing quietly ahead. “Bid. I’ll make up the money for you later.”
“Eh?” Young Master Bai was stunned. “No need, no need, originally this…”
Ning Yunyi stopped him from continuing. “Bid for him first.”
Clearly, judging by the current situation, some people hadn’t even started bidding yet. It was unknown how high it would go.
Mu Jiayi listened to the ever-increasing bids, pursing his lips with mixed feelings. He had thought a half-beast would be valuable, but he didn’t expect it to be this high. Especially this one; it was ridiculously high.
Starting at ten million, it was now shouted up to twenty million star coins.
Zong Ling beside him hadn’t even started bidding yet. The final figure would definitely be astounding.
Elias hadn’t expected these people to scramble for him like crazy. Looking down, he mocked them by baring his rabbit teeth, feeling an urge to destroy everything along with himself.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t. If he didn’t obediently get sold, they would do everything to find their hideout and capture his little brother and bring him here.
That child was only a few years old; how dare they?
Elias had regretted countless times being a half-beast. Hiding since childhood, he thought he had finally hidden until adulthood and could earn money to support his little brother, but he was targeted because of this appearance.
Moreover… there was a big secret in his family that absolutely could not be known.
Absolutely not.
Ning Yunyi watched in confusion as the rabbit, who was just baring its claws and looking ready to fight for its life, suddenly drooped its head, as if resigned to fate.
“I bid twenty-five million star coins.” Suddenly, Zong Ling’s voice rang out, carrying an air of finality.
Those who intended to continue raising the price saw it was Young Master Zong speaking and had to forcefully swallow the price on the tip of their tongues.
Damn, how did we forget this Zong family member was here too? A pity about this work of art.
But half-beasts weren’t limited to just this one. Offending the Zong family would mean plucking hair from a tiger’s head; they wouldn’t live long.
The manager was beaming as he listened to the price go higher and higher. Suddenly, after a voice spoke, no one else opened their mouth.
The manager glanced over, saw it was Zong Ling, and his heart went cold halfway.
But he obviously dared not offend the Zong family either, so he planned to accept it.
Just then, a young, brash voice rang out. “I bid twenty-six million!”
Not only the manager, but others also gasped and looked over. Good heavens, who has such guts to dare offend the Zong family?
Result… it was a stranger.
But sitting next to him was the young master of the Hao family. Could it be Young Master Hao wanted to fight with Young Master Zong?
Zong Ling looked unhappily at the stranger who spoke, looking down on him with disdain. A stranger—either not from the prestigious circle of Area A, or a reckless youth from Area F.
Zong Ling didn’t flinch, continuing, “Twenty-seven million.”
Young Master Bai had his uncle’s instructions; how could he yield? “Twenty-eight million.”
The manager beamed again. Good heavens, there really is a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. As long as it wasn’t their South City offending the Zong family, it was fine.
Continuing to rise, only their South City would profit steadily.
Zong Ling laughed in anger, saying directly, “Thirty million star coins.” Where did this idiot come from? I’m not short on money, but is this blockhead doing this on purpose?
Young Master Bai glared at Zong Ling. “Thirty-one million.” Wuwu my old man’s star coins ah, this Zong family guy spends money like he doesn’t want his life.
Zong Ling took a breath, suddenly looking at Hao Yan who hadn’t spoken. “Young Master Hao, are you insisting on fighting me?”
Hao Yan touched his nose. “Don’t, I’m not interested in this. It’s purely Mr. Little Bai who took a fancy to it. Young Master Zong might as well help fulfill a beauty’s wish.”
Zong Ling looked over in surprise. If it was really the Hao family, he could still say a thing or two, but where did this person pop out from?
Young Master Bai saw Zong Ling looking over, patted his chest, rolled his eyes, thinking continuing to bid up would only benefit the Underground City. He crossed his legs and said bluntly, “I’ve taken a fancy to this rabbit. I just happened to inherit my old man’s family business recently, so I really don’t lack money. This whatever Young Master Zong, feel free to name your price; I’m not afraid. However, I’m spending the family business I inherited myself. I wonder if Young Master Zong, spending tens of millions of star coins at once, has told the old man at home? If he asks later… oh my, Young Master Zong won’t be whipped later, right?”
The crowd went numb listening to this reckless youth speak so bluntly. Fine, we said who was so bold; sure enough, it’s someone who doesn’t know how powerful the Zong family is.
Zong Ling almost couldn’t keep a straight face, but it was obvious this person intended to fight him to the end.
He had really intended to win it at first, but now he calmed down.
Although he didn’t lack money, taking out tens of millions at once really… had to be weighed.
Seeing this, Mu Jiayi inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, yet was unwilling. But thinking of this half-beast’s face, he still spoke up. “Usually, an ordinary half-beast, even with S-level spiritual power, is only worth over ten million star coins.”
Now this was obviously too expensive.
Zong Ling gave him a deep look, but listened and didn’t raise the price further.
But interrupted by Zong Ling like this, plus Young Master Bai’s heroic words, the people present felt after the impulse passed that spending two or three times the price wasn’t worth it.
Plus, not knowing the background of this “rich” reckless youth, but being able to take out so many star coins, obviously wasn’t necessarily someone to offend.
Thus, Young Master Bai finally won this last auction with thirty-one million.
The manager hadn’t expected the final item today to fall into the hands of a stranger. When swiping the card to pay the star coins, the manager wanted to inquire about Young Master Bai’s identity but was dealt with by Young Master Bai’s noble indifference and ignored.
In his heart, he was wailing. Wuwuwu thirty-something million ah, enough to eat how many skewers and how much braised pork!
He didn’t feel it when shouting, but when swiping the card and seeing the account balance drop instantly, he felt the pain.
The manager wasn’t annoyed either. After all, someone who could swipe tens of millions without hesitation was either powerful or rich. Neither could be offended.
