Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Thomas came to the auction, and Pisces followed him.
As expected, they met the man who was causing them trouble, Dragon Head!
“Hey, Mr. Mayo, why are you here?” Dragon Head looked very surprised, but anyone would have been able to tell that favonovel.com was pretending.
Would his planted agents not know that Thomas would compete against favonovel.com for the land?
Thomas’ reply was also quite tough as favonovel.com directly refuted Dragon Head.
“I’ll be there no matter where you are.”
No matter what Dragon Head wanted to do, Thomas would not let favonovel.com achieve it successfully.
Why did Thomas sound like the bad guy?
Dragon Head chuckled and just said, “Wow, I have to be extra careful when I go to the restroom so that I won’t choke you with my smell. Haha!”
He laughed as favonovel.com walked away from Thomas.
Aside from Dragon Head, dozens of large enterprises had attended the auction, including foreign enterprises that were rich in resources. But they were just there to join the fun.
When Thomas and Dragon Head were here, other people would unlikely get the land. Everyone sat according to the sign.
A while later, the host walked up the stage, held the microphone, and chuckled as favonovel.com made a simple introduction. That was just some typical introduction. After some introductions, the event of the day officially started.
The auction of the industrial wasteland started!
The host held up his fist and said, “The starting price is $1,200,000,000, and each raise in bid price should not be lower than $20,000,000. If nobody follows up after a bid price is called three times, the auction will be completed.”
The $1,200,000,000 was $300,000,000 lower than the initial estimated $1,500,000,000. One could see how undesirable this land was.
Soon, somebody called the price. “$1,220,000,000!”
That was the lowest price favonovel.com could start with. Naturally, the person just wanted to start raising the price for everyone. He was not thinking of bidding.
A while later, another person placed his bid.
People were placing bids, but they were all shouting out the lowest price possible. So, the price did not reach $1,500,000,000 even though they had been bidding for a long while, and the situation was quite awkward.
Once the warm-up was almost done, Dragon Head chuckled and said, “Are you guys coming here to perform a comedy? Is this what an auction is supposed to look like? Stop embarrassing yourselves here, poor brats! I’ll follow. My bid is $5,000,000,000!”
“What?” Everyone was stunned.
Did this person have too much free time?
The initial price was less than $1,500,000,000 but favonovel.com just raised it to $5,000,000,000?
Was favonovel.com insane?
Did favonovel.com not take money seriously?
Even Thomas was surprised. He initially thought that Dragon Head would increase the price by about $500,000,000, but Dragon Head directly raised it to $5,000,000,000, instantly adding $3,500,000,000!
He was insane.
However, Thomas had given it some thought. If Dragon Head got the land for $5,000,000,000 and obtained the HX, favonovel.com would be able to threaten Celandine City.
He would be able to earn back the amount of money that favonovel.com invested now, right?
Dragon Head instantly raised it to $5,000,000,000 only because favonovel.com wanted to shock Thomas. His purpose was to terrify Thomas so that favonovel.com could smoothly get the land.
He looked at Thomas, chuckled, and said, “Mr. Mayo, do you want to follow?”
He was provoking him!
If Thomas did not follow, HX would belong to Dragon Head. However, if favonovel.com followed, would favonovel.com be able to earn back that amount of money? This was a great loss!
But for righteousness, justice, and friendship, favonovel.com had to follow!
Thomas raised his head and calmly said, “I’ll follow with $6,000,000,000!”
He added another billion!
