My Ares Son-in-Law

As soon as Qin Mian finished speaking, someone immediately made a bid.

"Eleven million!"

"Twelve million!"

"Ten million!"

……

The price snowballed, growing faster and faster, and in less than five minutes, the number jumped to 20 million.

Huang Qiankun did not place a bid. He was waiting. In any case, bidding at the beginning was meaningless. He would just wait until the price reached a certain level before making the final decision.

He didn't believe that anyone here would dare to compete with him for the same thing.

On the other side, Xiao Chen was also in no hurry to bid. He was waiting as well. He was too lazy to bid and would just bid a high price to win it over. Anyway, he was determined to get this thing, and no one could compete with him.

A few more minutes passed, and the price of the blood coral had soared to twenty million. At this point, the bidding had noticeably decreased.

After about seven or eight seconds, someone tentatively called out, "Twenty-one million..."

The surroundings were quiet, and no one else bid.

Qin Mian stood on the stage, his gaze sweeping over the audience, his tone filled with anticipation: "Twenty-one million! Any higher bids? This is natural blood coral; such high-quality, perfect pieces are rare. Are you all sure you don't want to raise the price further?"

Thirty million.

Finally, a voice rang out.

Qin Mian suddenly looked in the direction from which the voice came, and it turned out to be Xiao Chen.

"This gentleman has offered thirty million. Thirty million! Is there any price higher than that?"

Everyone looked at Xiao Chen at this moment, probably thinking to themselves, how can this young man be so rich? That's thirty million, not thirty thousand or thirty thousand!

Yun Yuyan was also stunned. "Xiao Chen, you're going to scare me to death! Three thousand yuan! Even if you spent Chen Jianguo's money, this is still too outrageous. Is that thing really worth that much?"

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, if I think it's worth it, then it's worth it. It's only 30 million, not 300 billion."

Qin Xianglan glanced at Xiao Chen, her eyes filled with admiration. She understood Xiao Chen even better than Yun Yuyan. It seemed that there was nothing in this world that could stump Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen never backs down from what he wants because of the price.

"Thirty million? My God! That's outrageous!"

"Who is he? He spent a million to buy a piece of wood, three million to buy a gourd, and now he's trying to steal blood coral for thirty million?"

"Look, he's sitting with Miss Qin, they seem to have a special relationship."

"Could this be some reclusive big shot who's just come here for a visit?"

Hearing these comments and looking at Xiao Chen, Chen Shaocong's face darkened even more. Why? Xiao Chen was about the same age as him, so why could he get 30 million to bid on something?

Hateful!
He shouted again, "Xiao Chen! You dare to try and steal from Master Huang? Don't you know your own limitations? Do you even have 30 million? You're just making a fool of yourself!"

Xiao Chen turned his head and glanced at Chen Shaocong indifferently. "Someone was tough for a few seconds but then backed down. Now he's jumping around again. It's just embarrassing. Miss Qin knows better than you whether I have 30 million or not. You don't need to worry about it. Everyone competes fairly at the auction. Whoever has the money gets the items. Do you think you can break the rules?"

Chen Shaocong's face flushed red to his ears. He opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but the surrounding laughter was like needles pricking his face.

He couldn't utter a single word, and could only curl up in his seat, covering his ears like an ostrich. In truth, he wished he could disappear into the ground. It was so embarrassing!

"Is that guy crazy? You've helped his family twice already, and not only is he ungrateful, he's deliberately going against you. It's utterly inexplicable."

Yun Yuyan said somewhat unhappily.

"That's a fool. You expect him to be grateful? Forget it. I helped Chen Jianguo, not Chen Shaocong. This Chen Shaocong will ruin himself sooner or later. I can tell he's going to have some bloodshed soon."

Xiao Chen sneered.

Hearing this, Yun Yuyan felt relieved.

On the other hand, Huang Qiankun's expression was not so good; he didn't have that much money to bid on the blood coral.

He thought Xiao Chen would give him some face, but he didn't expect this guy to be so stubborn.

“Young man,” Huang Qiankun’s voice was as cold as ice, “I’ve already made it very clear: I, Huang Qiankun, am determined to have this. Are you deliberately going against me?”

Xiao Chen scoffed, "The auction rules are simple: highest bidder wins. If you have money, keep bidding. If you don't, sit down and shut up, don't block other people's way. Let money decide, don't talk about face. You have no face here! Just a charlatan from Hong Kong, daring to swagger around in the Western Region?"

He had long disliked Huang Qiankun, so he didn't give him any face when he spoke.

Huang Qiankun's face instantly turned ashen. He had been in the Western Region for so long, and no one had ever dared to speak to him like that. He never expected this kid to dare.

This is absolutely outrageous!
At that moment, the atmosphere in the entire auction became tense.

They were genuinely afraid that Huang Qiankun would turn against Xiao Chen here and start a fight.

After all, Huang Qiankun is a man who cares a lot about his reputation. He won't let this go so easily now that he's been humiliated.

Huang Qiankun stared intently at Xiao Chen for a while, but finally managed to suppress his anger.

This is, after all, the western region, not Hong Kong Island, so he wouldn't dare to act recklessly unless absolutely necessary. At least, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly in Wanbaoge.

So Huang Qiankun put on a smiling face: "Young brother, I spoke too hastily just now. It was a small misunderstanding, but it's all cleared up now. Could you do me the honor of letting me have this? I can give you a treasure that I personally blessed!"

"Stop talking nonsense. If you can't afford it, get out of here and don't waste my time. I wouldn't even take your junk for free. Do you really think it's something rare?"

Xiao Chen showed Huang Qiankun absolutely no respect.

"Holy crap, is this kid crazy? How dare he talk to Master Huang like that!"

"This really shows no respect whatsoever to the master!"

"This young man keeps saying that Master Huang is a charlatan and a fraud. Does he have some kind of grudge against Master Huang?"

"Who cares? It has nothing to do with us. When gods fight, we mortals can just watch the show."

……

Huang Qiankun took a long time to recover from his shock, then gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, fine. Very well. You've got guts, kid. Then continue. I want to see how much money a young man like you can come up with! Although I'm not a rich man, I have plenty of friends. Anyone here who's willing to lend me some money to acquire this blood coral will have three problems solved for them, and I'll give them three blessed treasures!"

His words immediately resonated with many people.

Normally, it's impossible to even get this master to come, but now is a great opportunity. (End of Chapter)
