The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 752 It's mine now!
Inside the old house, there were at least twenty or thirty people, each wearing a mask, sitting quietly in chairs, without making a sound.

Although there were many people, the room was completely silent, which made the scene seem somewhat eerie.

Wang Jun led Lin Chen to two empty seats and they sat down.

"Just wait."

Lin Chen nodded and sat quietly without saying a word.

Seven or eight more people arrived one after another. The black curtain on the wall in front was lifted, and a man wearing a mask walked out and went straight to the temporary auction stage in front.

"Everyone's almost here, so let's begin."

The man's voice was deep and authoritative, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a glint of shrewdness: "I will briefly describe each item and state the starting price. I will tell you the origin of items that I can, and I will remind you of that. Please do not ask about items that I cannot tell you. If you are willing to buy, you can raise the price; if you are not willing to buy, you can just watch the show. It's that simple."

"There aren't many items today, only twelve in total. Let's start with the first one."

"The first item is Ice Rainbow, a top-grade flying sword. Its original owner was Huo Binghong, the Snow Dance Fairy of the Liyue Sect. This flying sword is named after her. The starting price is one million spirit stones, and the increment is one hundred thousand spirit stones."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up. The black market was indeed selling good stuff, and the sellers were very straightforward, explaining the origins of the items in one breath.

Lin Chen didn't know what had become of the Snow Dance Fairy. His flying sword had ended up in the black market auction, but no matter what, if the flying sword were to be revealed to the world and be discovered by Huo Binghong or the Liyue Sect, there would definitely be some trouble.

The bidding and offers were endless.

It seems that although everyone knows there are risks, the sword is a good sword, and it still arouses everyone's demand.

After a fierce bidding war, Binghong was sold for 2.7 million spirit stones.

This price is quite high for a flying sword. Of course, the higher the quality, the more the value multiplies, which is normal.

A thousand soldiers are easy to find, but a good general is hard to come by; the same is true for flying swords and magical treasures.

Next, the men on stage took out auction items one after another, all of which were quite valuable, but their origins were obviously illegitimate.

All of these items were snapped up, and not a single item went unsold.

Lin Chen did not participate in the bidding. He did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble. Besides, apart from his defensive magic treasure being a little lacking, everything else he had was quite strong.

A dragon turtle pendant capable of withstanding three powerful attacks from a Nascent Soul cultivator; the incomparably sharp Three Provinces Sword; a Water-Fire Mirror that controls water and fire; a giant bell capable of withstanding Nascent Soul attacks; a black seal of unknown origin but with astonishing power…

"Next is the tenth item for auction, the Beast Taming Bag. I won't introduce this thing; those who want to buy it will definitely know what it is. The starting price is two million spirit stones, and the bidding increment is one hundred thousand spirit stones."

Lin Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. Holy crap, there really is a beast-taming bag!
Wang Jun's eyes lit up with joy. He also hoped that Lin Chen could buy the Beast Taming Bag, which would highlight his value and increase his chances of survival.

Through their conversations over the past two days, he had roughly figured out Lin Chen's personality. He had his own principles and wouldn't kill indiscriminately for profit, but he would show no mercy to his enemies, making him ruthless.

He believed that as long as he helped Lin Chen with his business and paid the ransom, Lin Chen would let him go. Wang Jun held up a sign.

"Two million one hundred thousand."

Lin Chen sat beside him, motionless.

It was agreed before we came that no matter the price, Wang Jun would just raise his paddle and make sure to buy it.

Not bad money!
Although Lin Chen also needed spirit stones to buy Xuan Tie Wu Jing and the corresponding medicinal materials, the Beast Taming Bag was the most urgent thing for him. With two Beast Taming Bags, he could carry two demonic beasts comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators with him, increasing his own safety.

Can you earn money back if you lose it?

Didn't you see that Wang Jun paid another 20 million spirit stones as ransom to save his life?

Although he experienced being sold during his trip to Fierce Lion City, he still made 28 million spirit stones and a beast-taming bag, which was almost like picking up money.

Wang Jun is a good person.

The price climbed rapidly to 4.5 million, and the number of bidders suddenly dwindled, as further bids would exceed the normal price.

"five million."

Wang Jun directly increased the price by 500,000, demonstrating his domineering determination to win.

"Five million and one million."

A cold, crisp voice rang out. Lin Chen turned his head. The person bidding was sitting about three meters away from Lin Chen. Judging from the voice and figure, it was a woman, and she wasn't very old.

Wang Jun continued bidding, and the woman kept up, quickly pushing the price above six million.

Lin Chen frowned.

Although he was willing to pay any price to get the Beast Taming Bag, he was still unhappy because he spent far more money than its value could be.

Only Wang Jun and the woman remained in the bidding, and neither side showed any intention of backing down.

"Six million and one million!"

"Six million two hundred thousand!"

Wang Jun raised the price again: "Six million five hundred thousand!"

The woman suddenly turned her head, her eyes sharp as knives, fixed on Wang Jun. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "I abstain."
