My Ares Son-in-Law

Qin Lingling frowned slightly, lowered her voice, and said with a hint of caution and reminder: "Mr. Xiao, according to our previous estimates, the market value of this item is at most around 100 million."

"You really intend to film this?"

"This price is already quite high, and there may be more bidders afterward, so the risk is not small."

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, a resolute light flashing in his deep eyes.

Without much thought, he said in a calm yet firm tone, "Just name one hundred million."

"If anyone else follows, I'll add another hundred million. If someone else follows, I'll keep adding. I don't set a limit here!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap, exploding in Qin Lingling's ears.

"No upper limit?!"

Qin Lingling stared wide-eyed at Xiao Chen in disbelief. Even though she was used to seeing big storms and had experienced countless huge transactions, she was stunned by this crazy bid that was completely contrary to market rules and almost lost her composure.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something more, but in the end she swallowed her words back.

Although she knew Xiao Chen was rich, and that he had spent lavishly on antiques at auctions before, not caring about the price at all.

But this time it's different, and money shouldn't be spent like this!
She had carefully examined the "Bracelet of Vows" before. From a professional point of view, apart from its extremely high artistic value and the aura of a master's posthumous work, it did not have any special energy fluctuations and was just an extremely beautiful ordinary piece of jewelry.

Why would Xiao Chen bid so recklessly, regardless of the cost?
What are the reasons and considerations behind this?

Qin Lingling was filled with doubt, but looking at Xiao Chen's determined eyes, she knew that there was no point in saying anything more, so she could only nod silently and prepare to quote a price according to his requirements.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the auction hall was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, and the competition for the "Bracelet of Oath" was nearing its end.

The initial flurry of bids gradually subsided, leaving only the last two buyers locked in a fierce battle.

One of the wealthy bidders, who offered 98 million, was sitting upright with a furrowed brow and a hint of hesitation and composure in his eyes.

He lowered his head slightly, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, as if he were silently weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

After all, once the price exceeds 100 million, the return on investment for this "Oath Bracelet" becomes questionable.

For a shrewd businessman like him, every penny must be spent wisely, and he must never blindly follow trends.

The chief auctioneer, dressed in a sharp tailcoat, stood on the auction stage, his posture upright and his spirits high.

His voice was high-pitched and passionate, like a bugle call on the battlefield, echoing in the auction hall: "Ninety-eight million! The first time!"

"Is there any lady or gentleman who would offer a higher price?"

His gaze, like a searchlight, swept across the faces of the entire audience, not missing a single potential bidder.

"Ninety-eight million! The second time!"

The auctioneer shouted again, his voice filled with anticipation and excitement.

The spoiled brat who offered 98 million was sitting with his legs crossed, leaning back in his chair, his face beaming with barely suppressed smugness.

His lips curled up uncontrollably, forming a triumphant smile, as if the "Bracelet of Oath" was already his.

He knew very well that his bottom line was 100 million; as long as the price didn't exceed that, he was confident he could acquire this treasure. In his view, the vast majority of people present who thought the "Oath Bracelet" was merely a top-tier piece of jewelry art were completely mistaken!

He learned through special channels that the bracelet seemed to be related to a secret past of the God of War's wife.

Once this past event is revealed, the value of this bracelet will be immeasurable.

At this moment, Zhou Keying also looked at the smug playboy with complicated emotions. Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes showed both resentment and helplessness.

She had made up her mind that no matter who won the "Bracelet of Vows" in the end, she would do everything in her power to buy it back from them at all costs.

This bracelet is not just a precious item to her; it carries an unforgettable emotion and memory deep in her heart.

The chief auctioneer surveyed the room, and seeing no one respond, a resolute look appeared on his face as he prepared to bring down the gavel.

He slowly raised the small golden hammer in his hand, which gleamed brightly under the lights, as if it were about to strike the final blow of this auction.

"Ninety-eight million! The first..."

Before he could finish speaking, his voice was interrupted by a sudden sound.

Just then, a clear and calm female voice suddenly rang out, like a lightning bolt across the night sky, instantly breaking the tense atmosphere in the auction hall: "I bid one hundred million."

The sound wasn't loud, but it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

The eyes of the entire audience instantly turned to the source of the sound, all wanting to see who had made a move at this crucial moment.

"One hundred million?!"

This exclamation, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploded in the already tense auction hall.

"boom!"

In an instant, the entire auction hall erupted into a frenzy, like a pot of boiling oil.

The hall, which was originally so quiet that only the auctioneer's voice could be heard, was now filled with noise, exclamations, and discussions, like a sudden storm.

Everyone gasped, the chill running down their throats and into their hearts, making them shiver involuntarily.

The crowd looked around in disbelief, their eyes filled with shock and curiosity, like a flock of startled birds trying to find the crazy buyer in the chaotic crowd.

Their minds raced, their eyes scanning every corner, muttering incessantly, "Who? Who's so bold as to offer a hundred million for this unfinished masterpiece?"

In their eyes, the "Bracelet of Vows" is nothing more than an unfinished posthumous work. Although it has certain artistic value and the aura of a master, the offer of 100 million is far beyond the normal scope of collection.

This isn't collecting; this is downright burning money!
Many people couldn't help but think to themselves, "Is this person out of their mind? Is it worth spending so much money on something like this?"

Zhou Keying was lost in her own thoughts when she heard the word "one hundred million." She suddenly covered her mouth with her hand, her beautiful eyes widening like two dazzling gems, filled with extreme shock and disbelief.

His eyes held both astonishment at the high price and curiosity about the mysterious buyer.

She almost cried out in surprise, but thankfully she covered her mouth with her hand in time to prevent the sound from bursting out of her throat. (End of this chapter)
