The seconds ticked by, and soon, the bidding price was raised to 21 million.
The price had already reached a level where some people had begun pulling out from the bidding competition and stopped increasing the price.
“Twenty-three million!”
Finally, Jack raised his hand and shouted a price, flashing the woman at the auction stand a warm smile.
“This gentleman has increased the price to twenty-three million dollars! Does anyone else wish to increase the bid?”
The corners of the woman’s mouth quirked up after hearing Jack’s price. He did not increase the price by just a million, but two.
“Twenty-five million!”
Without hesitation, Ivan raised his arm and added three million to the price as though favonovel.com was the wealthiest man in Eastfield.
After favonovel.com put his arm down, favonovel.com turned to Jack and said, “Jack, don’t compete with me. This villa is my gift to Grandpa. You’re just a son-in-law, why do you want to fight me? You don’t even have the resources to win against me!”
“Are you sure?” Jack jeered coldly. Money was but a number to him. He could buy the entire Taylor property without batting an eye, let alone a villa.
“You’re snobbish, aren’t you?” Ken gave Jack a thumbs up and laughed aloud. “Jack, let us witness this great battle today. Between you and Young Master Taylor, whoever loses the battle will have to call the winner ‘daddy’, how does that sound?”
They never thought that Jack would simply shake his head and remain uninterested. “Sorry, but I wouldn’t want such an unreliable son. I’d be embarrassed and ashamed if I did.”
“You…” Rage pulsed through Ivan’s veins, making favonovel.com stand up from his seat. He balled his fist tightly as if favonovel.com was ready to fight. This shrimp had some balls. How dare favonovel.com talk back to favonovel.com like that?
“What’s the matter? Are you thinking about fighting me? This is an auction house, it wouldn’t be nice to cause trouble here. If you’re so keen on fighting, we can fight later after the auction!” favonovel.com scorned indifferently, his right eyebrow raised.
Ivan immediately chickened out upon hearing Jack’s words. A hundred of favonovel.com could not even win against one of Jack in a fight. The bodyguards of the Taylor family were not of bad quality; however, none of them could barely go near Jack, let alone a pampered young master like him.
“You’re lucky that today I’m not bothered about such a useless waste like you!” He added, sitting back down with his teeth clenched firmly, “If you’re so capable, go ahead and increase the price, then! Twenty-five million is now my bidding price!”
“Thirty million!” Jack shouted out the number nonchalantly.
Many of the wealthy businessmen who were still present began to view Jack differently, some with admiration. This young man had placed a bid of 30 million; increasing a bid by so much at once! The crowd certainly did not expect that this worthless son-in-law could be this rich.
The corners of Ivan’s mouth twitched. 30 million, that was quite high, was it not?
Nevertheless, the devil beside him, Ken Clark, said to him, “Young Master Taylor, don’t be frightened by him! This should be the highest price favonovel.com can offer. He probably increased the bid by so much in one go just to try to scare you away,” Ken reminded him. “Jack only asked for an advance of two months. That’s forty million. He’d have to leave ten million aside to compensate you, so that would leave favonovel.com with thirty million. This is as high as favonovel.com can go!”
Ivan’s spirit lifted after hearing Ken’s analysis. “Thirty-one million!” favonovel.com called out.
“What a bunch of idiots! The entry requirement for this auction house is that you have to possess at least fifty million in your bank account. How would I be able to enter otherwise?” Jack gave a half-smile. “Thirty-five million!”
