At this moment, Lei Cheng was overjoyed. After all, when would he ever be able to shout like this?
On the other side, Mo Qiu was on the verge of tears. After this auction, their assassin organization would have to start from scratch again.
"It's already 20 million. Second Elder, do you still want to bid?" the subordinate of the Second Elder asked from the opposite box.
"No," the Second Elder said directly.
This time, he was calm. In fact, this was because he had already decided to snatch the cicada from the other party.
No matter how rich you are, I'll just snatch it from you! He sneered inwardly.
Seeing that the Second Elder was no longer speaking, the auctioneer made the final decision. "Alright, this cicada belongs to this gentleman over here."
This time, the auctioneer personally brought the cicada up to the stage.
After paying, the auctioneer said to Lin Long, "Sir, our auction house's president wishes to meet you. I wonder if you would agree?"
"No need," Lin Long rejected directly.
He wasn't interested at the moment.
Hearing this, the auctioneer's face twitched. One had to know that countless people in Mo Shi City wanted to meet their president. Who would have thought that this person would reject him just like that?
However, the other party was a tycoon. How would he dare to do anything? He squeezed out a smile and said, "Sorry for disturbing you."
After saying this, he left with his subordinate.
After the auctioneer left, Mo Qiu said, "Young Master, even I don't know who the owner of this auction house is."
"Young Master, I don't know either," Lei Cheng, who was beside him, said.
"Same here, Young Master," Luo Yuan agreed.
"You guys don't know?" Lin Long was somewhat surprised.
"The president of this auction house is really mysterious. I'm afraid that in the entire Mo Shi City, only the patriarch and a few others know who he is," Mo Qiu said.
"Is that so." Lin Long nodded.
However, he didn't feel regretful for his earlier rejection.
Next, the auction continued. After a while, the auctioneer took out a secret tome. This secret tome had a yellowish surface, as if it was an ancient artifact.
"This is a rare book of unknown origin. After our auction house's experts studied it, we found that it is incomplete. But even so, it still has its value. It gives people a feeling that if they can master it, they will be able to learn Rune Curses with half the effort in the future!" The auctioneer said.
"There's actually such a secret manual!"
"Even if it's incomplete, I'm still interested. If I can really comprehend it, wouldn't it be easier for me to learn runes and curses in the future?"
"I might be able to master the Winged Insect Curse Seal because of this secret manual!"
Upon hearing the auctioneer's words, the crowd began to discuss spiritedly. Clearly, the majority of them were interested in this Secret Manual.
"The starting price of this secret manual is five hundred thousand!" the auctioneer said again.
"It can't be, right? The starting price is so high?" The auctioneer's price immediately extinguished the fire in most people's hearts.
Even though the price was high, there were still many people bidding for it.
In a short period of time, the price had reached two million.
After a period of time, the bid had surprisingly reached four million. After that, the number of bidders dwindled, and only five people remained.
The Second Elder and Du Meng were still two of them. As for Linlong, he still did not make a sound.
"Four million. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?" the auctioneer shouted from below.
Just as he finished speaking, someone shouted again, "4.2 million!"
"4.5 million!" This time, it was the Second Elder's subordinate who called out.
"5 million!" The next moment, Du Haoran's voice was heard.
If he could obtain this secret manual, it was very likely that it would be easy for him to master the Rune Curse Seal and the Winged Insect Curse Seal. Therefore, Du Meng was naturally very interested.
In addition to the fact that he had failed to bid for the Golden Silk Cicada earlier, he now placed his hopes on this secret manual.
'Damn it, at least give me something, right?' Du Meng thought to himself.
He did not know that the Second Elder was thinking the same thing.
After a while, the price directly reached six million.
At that price, the three people who had been bidding with them earlier also became silent.
For a time, it became a competition between the Second Elder and Du Meng. However, everyone knew that Linlong would eventually join in.
However, to their surprise, when the bid reached $7,000,000, it wasn't Linlong who made the bid. Instead, it was another mysterious voice.
"Seven and a half million!" As soon as the voice rang out, the bid was immediately increased by five hundred thousand.
"That seems to be the First Elder!" Mo Qiu's expression changed when he heard that voice.
"First Elder?" Linlong asked doubtfully.
"It's the Mo Clan's First Elder," Mo Qiu said.
"It can't be the First Elder, right? This voice doesn't sound like it," Lei Cheng said doubtfully.
"Of course it's not his voice. It's the voice of one of his subordinates. I have only heard him speak once, but his voice left a deep impression on me," Mo Qiu said.
"If that's really the case, then there will really be a competition," Luo Yuan said.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Linlong asked.
"In terms of strength, wealth, and connections, the First Elder is far superior to the Second Elder. Look, after knowing that the First Elder is making a move, the Second Elder will definitely not dare to continue bidding," Mo Qiu said.
They had already noticed that the person in the opposite box was the Second Elder.
Indeed, after the First Elder spoke, the other box immediately fell silent.
"Since the First Elder is making a move, this secret manual will probably have that effect," Linlong said.
Naturally, he was even more interested in this secret manual.
"8 million!" Du Haoran shouted from below.
Neither he nor Du Meng could tell that it was the First Elder's voice, so they naturally bid higher.
However, the Second Elder was different. His expression was somewhat gloomy.
"Don't bid for this secret manual," he said to his subordinates.
"Why?" one of his subordinates asked doubtfully.
"Don't ask why, just withdraw," the Second Elder said.
His subordinates could only shut their mouths.
"10 million!" the First Elder's subordinates shouted again.
"11 million!" Du Haoran still followed closely. Knowing that the secret manual might have such an effect, he was unwilling to give up just like Du Meng.
"13 million!" The First Elder's subordinates directly increased the bid by 200.
"Damn it, where did all these rich people come from!" Du Meng could not help but curse when he heard this.
"Father, do you still want to increase?" Du Haoran could not help but ask.
"2 million more!" Du Meng said.
"Alright." Du Haoran nodded, then shouted, "15 million!"
Who would have thought that just as he finished speaking, the other side's voice sounded again. "17 million!"
"I'm not bidding anymore." Hearing this voice, Du Meng shook his head helplessly.
The other party was too domineering. He knew that if he continued to bid, the other party would definitely not hesitate to increase the bid.
At this moment, the only person who could compete with the person who suddenly appeared was the fellow opposite him. With this thought, Du Meng actually raised his head and looked towards Linlong's box.
"Lei Cheng, bid. Add 3 million more!" Linlong immediately said.
"Alright." Lei Cheng nodded, then shouted, "20 million!"
"As expected, he still made a move!"
"20 million right off the bat. Damn it, that's too awesome!"
Everyone sighed with emotion.
At this moment, in Linlong's box, Mo Qiu raised his hand, then frowned and said, "Young Master, I have something to say!"
"En, what is it?" Linlong asked.
"That's right. Our assassin organization probably does not have enough money to pay," Mo Qiu said.
At this moment, he looked as if he was relieved. After all, this way, their assassin organization would not be ravaged in the future.
Of course, what he said was the truth. Their assassin organization no longer had money to pay, and they were already penniless.
"Is that so? I thought it was something big," Linlong said.
F * ck, isn't this something big? How can they bid without money? Mo Qiu and the others' faces twitched.
At this moment, Linlong casually took out a few money cards and threw them towards Mo Qiu.
After catching the money cards, Mo Qiu could not help but ask, "Young Master, roughly how much is inside?"
Although there were a lot of money cards, he did not think that there would be much money inside.
"This … I have never seen it before, so I have no idea how much is inside. Take a look yourself. If it's not enough, I'll take more," Linlong said.
Take more? Does your family sell cards? Mo Qiu's face twitched.
Next, he used his mental energy to sense the cards. When he was done, his expression changed.
"Boss, is it not enough?" Luo Yuan could not help but ask.
"No." Mo Qiu shook his head.
"Then what is it?" Lei Cheng was confused.
"It's too much. There are more than 5,000 Yongzhou dollars inside," Mo Qiu said.
More than 5,000 Yongzhou dollars! Lei Cheng and Mo Qiu were both shocked.
It seemed like there was quite a lot of money in each of these cards.
When they thought of what Linlong said, they immediately understood that their young master was not someone who lacked money.
"More than 5,000? That's not too bad." Linlong nodded.
Honestly, he could not remember who these money cards belonged to. In any case, it was fine as long as there was money.
Hearing that there was so much money, Lei Cheng, who was in charge of bidding, was naturally excited. After all, he could just bid casually.
"23 million!" After a moment of silence, the person in the Great Elder's side immediately shouted.
"26 million!" Knowing that Linlong wanted that secret manual and that he was not lacking money, Lei Cheng did not hesitate.
"30 million!" Seemingly enraged by Lei Cheng's bid, a moment later, the Great Elder's side shouted.
The price had actually reached 30 million! Such a price naturally caused everyone present to suck in a breath of cold air.
Would this nouveau riche continue to follow? Such a thought appeared in everyone's mind.
Just as this thought appeared in their minds, Lei Cheng shouted. "33 million!"
"36 million!" The other party raised the price again.
"40 million!"
In the next moment, Lei Cheng's bid caused everyone's hearts to tremble.
"Damn it, it's already 40 million. Why does it sound like 400!" They all sighed.
In the Great Elder's private room, the subordinate in charge of bidding asked, "40 million. Great Elder, do you want to continue bidding?"
The Great Elder did not answer. Instead, he looked at Linlong's private room and frowned. "Where did this guy come from? How is he so rich?"
As Lei Cheng and Mo Qiu had deliberately changed their voices, he could not tell that he actually knew the person in the private room.
Seeing that the Great Elder did not answer, his subordinate hurriedly asked, "Great Elder, do you want to …"
"Continue?" The Great Elder, who had regained his senses, immediately said coldly.
"Forty-two million!" His subordinate hurriedly said.
At this moment, Linlong suddenly said, "Lei Cheng, just bid 50 million!"
F * ck, Young Master, even if you are rich, don't bid like this. Mo Qiu and Luo Yuan, who were beside him, wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads.
From their point of view, Linlong was basically using money to burn.
However, when they thought of Linlong's disdain for these money cards and the fact that he said he had more, they understood.
Only Lei Cheng shouted excitedly, "50 million!"
"F * ck, 50 million!"
"Are you a money maker?"
"I think this rich guy must have a money making machine at home. It doesn't cost him anything to make this money!"
Many people in the room said this.
"F * ck, this is too arrogant!" The Great Elder's expression changed, and he could not help but say this.
"Continue, add two hundred!" He immediately ordered.
"Fifty-two million!" His subordinate immediately said.
"55 million!" Lei Cheng did not back down.
The reason why he was so confident was naturally because Linlong took out a few more money cards. After Mo Qiu calculated, he found that there were another 50 million Yongzhou dollars.
Therefore, Lei Cheng naturally did not feel any pressure.
At this moment, Linlong seemed to understand something. The other places in the Yongzhou continent that he had been to before seemed to be richer than the Far West.
"F * ck, this is really not letting me live!" the Great Elder cursed inwardly.
"2 million more!" he immediately shouted.
His subordinates could clearly see that his hands were shaking when he said these words.
"57 million!" his subordinate, who was in charge of bidding, immediately shouted.
"60 million!" Lei Cheng immediately said.
60 million! Such a number had completely stunned the people in the room.
F * ck, who is this guy? How can he be so rich? Du Haoran could not help but curse inwardly.
"60 million, Great Elder, do you still want to follow?" the Great Elder's subordinate asked.
At this moment, the subordinate's voice was also trembling. He had never seen such a high bid before.
"Forget it. I'm not bidding anymore. Let him have it," the Great Elder said helplessly.
He came today for the secret book, but he did not expect to meet this rich guy.
If the other party only competed with him, it would be fine. However, the other party had slaughtered his way here.
"Investigate with all your strength. Find out who the other party is," the Great Elder ordered his subordinate.
"Great Elder, this is an auction house. It's a little troublesome," his subordinate immediately said.
"I don't care. In short, you have to find him for me. Otherwise, you can forget about your life! The Great Elder said coldly.
The subordinate was so scared that cold sweat appeared on his back. He immediately said yes. "Yes!"
