The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1173 Are you angry or not?

Lin Chen's eyes lit up. Good stuff!
The Divine Thunder Heavenly Locust Tree can only be formed in three stages: from the Transformation Stage to the True Self Stage, from the True Self Stage to the Great Demon Stage, and from the Great Demon Stage to transcend tribulation and ascend to immortality.

This piece of Divine Thunder Heavenly Locust Wood is a product of a tree demon that failed to advance to the True Self stage. Although its quality is not as good as that left behind after failing to transcend tribulation and ascend, it is still very good. After all, for tens of thousands of years, everyone has known that ascension inevitably leads to death.

"Divine Thunder Heavenly Locust Wood can be used for medicine and for refining weapons. It is a top-grade material. The starting bid is ten million spirit stones, and the minimum increment is five hundred thousand spirit stones."

"The auction begins."

No sooner had he finished speaking than people raised their paddles to bid, and there was more than one person doing so.

Good things are appreciated by many, and there is a high demand for them.

"Ten million!"

"Eleven million!"

"Fifteen million!"

"Twenty million!"

Prices skyrocketed, as if the price wasn't for spirit stones at all, but for stones that were free.

Lin Chen didn't rush to join in. In an auction, the highest bidder wins, and it doesn't matter whether you bid early or late.

Soon, the price climbed to fifty million, and the bidders shook their heads and gave up the bidding in despair.

Fifty million spirit stones is no small sum!

Only two bidders remained: an elderly man with white hair and a young man.

The white-haired old man had a sinister look on his face. He glanced at his competitor with a cold gaze, then raised his sign.

"Fifty-one million!"

The young man smiled slightly, his expression arrogant.

"Fifty-five million."

The young man displayed an air of certainty, and after calling out the price, his gaze fell on the white-haired old man's face, his eyes filled with provocation.

The white-haired old man turned his head, and their gazes collided in the air, as if exploding into countless sparks.

The white-haired old man's gaze was sharp and piercing, like a knife; the young man's gaze was arrogant and unyielding, meeting his challenge head-on.

A few seconds later, the white-haired old man turned his head and sat down in silence.

This is an auction house after all. Making threats here is just a sign of incompetence if you don't have enough money. Besides, those who dare to bid so aggressively can easily take out tens of millions of spirit stones. Who doesn't have some background and strength?
The young man watched the white-haired old man sit down, a slight smile playing on his lips, his expression one of smugness.

"Fifty-five million, once, is there a higher price?"

Lin Chen held up his sign: "Add 500,000."

All eyes in the room immediately turned to Lin Chen, their gazes filled with surprise.

There were even hidden buyers!

They've really kept their composure; they only made their move now.

The arrogant young man abruptly turned his head, his sharp gaze landing on Lin Chen, a hint of anger in his eyes. "You'll only make your move after I've defeated the other bidders?"

Are you using me as a stepping stone?
The young man raised his sign without hesitation: "Sixty million!"

After bidding, the young man looked at Lin Chen defiantly, as if he was determined to win.

Lin Chen ignored the young man's aggressive gaze and calmly raised the sign.

"Add fifty."

The gazes of everyone in the hall suddenly became somewhat subtle.

Although Lin Chen only added fifty, he added fifty to the base of the arrogant youth, which is 60.5 million!
The clouds are calm and the wind is gentle!

Young people these days are all richer and more willing to spend money than anyone else!

The arrogant young man coldly raised the price again, this time adding nine and a half million to round it up.

"Seventy million!"

Before the auctioneer could even turn his attention back, Lin Chen had already calmly raised his paddle again.

"Add fifty."

The gazes of everyone in the hall grew increasingly strange, especially those buyers who had lost the bidding earlier; they were now looking at the young man from Ochi with a hint of anticipation.

Weren't you being pretty arrogant just now, thinking you were rich? Well, you've bitten off more than you can chew, haven't you?
They don't care how much you raise the price, they'll just give you an extra 500,000.

Just ask if you are angry?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the arrogant young man lost face.

Losing an auction is perfectly normal, but his arrogant and overbearing behavior just now has made him look bad after being slapped in the face by Lin Chen's calm bid, naturally drawing attention and ridicule.

The arrogant young man wished he could just fly his sword over and stab that kid in the opposite direction.

Trying to take it from me? Are you out of your mind?
However, this is an auction hall, where all the major sects in the world are gathered. If anyone does something, they will probably become famous throughout the world.

The arrogant young man gritted his teeth and once again called out a high price.

"Eighty million!"

"Add fifty!"

Hearing Lin Chen's calm voice, the arrogant young man felt as if he had swallowed a fly.

Couldn't you have added more?

Adding fifty each time, are you kidding me?
People around were already laughing, and laughter is contagious; low chuckles and whispers filled the entire auction hall.

The arrogant young man's eyes were slightly red as he glared at Lin Chen and shouted loudly, "One hundred million!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall erupted in an uproar.

One hundred million spirit stones, that's an astronomical price!
