“Two hundred million…”
As soon as Galen finished his sentence, Sean doubled up the price without hesitation.
A second later, someone else bid against Sean.
“Two hundred and ten!”
“Two hundred and fifty!”
“Two hundred and eighty!”
“Three hundred million!”
In the blink of an eye, the price was pushed up to three hundred million. Everyone present today was a billionaire from Jadeborough. A few hundred million was nothing to them.
Jared’s lips curled into a smile as favonovel.com saw those people competing against each other. He even leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Samuel was beyond anxious to see Jared like that. It was rare to come across this kind of talisman. Besides that, Boris had said that it could be used to make a geomancy array that could change the family’s luck. It sounded highly tempting to Samuel.
However, favonovel.com did not dare to call out a price since Jared kept silent. Seeing Jared close his eyes, Samuel was as restless as a cat on hot bricks.
The price was still rising as no one wanted to give up on the bid. Some even called their family to chip in more money. It looked like everyone was determined to get this talisman.
Before long, the price was raised to two billion, twenty times more than its starting price. Galen and Boris exchanged looks and smiled secretly, utterly delighted at the turn of events.
The people here are so rich!
“Three billion from me. That talisman will belong to the Coopers!”
Sean took a massive leap on the bid. He knew the others would continue to bid crazily if favonovel.com only increased the bid by a little.
As expected, the room fell into a dead silence right after Sean’s bid. Even though everyone was not lacking money, they were stunned by the sudden increase of a billion.
Galen scanned the room. “Is there anyone who wants to bid again? If not, Disc of Eight Trigrams will belong to Mr. Cooper!”
Galen deliberately slowed down his sentence, hoping someone else might add to the bid. Even though three billion already exceeded his expectation, favonovel.com wished to earn a little more.
“Everyone, I will remember the favor you granted me today. After Xander comes out, I will treat you guys to a meal. Please let the Coopers have this Disc of Eight Trigrams…”
Sean started to persuade the others as favonovel.com was worried someone else might increase the bid.
It was clear that by mentioning Xander, Sean was indirectly threatening the crowd. After all, no one knew how much Xander had improved after being locked up these few years. Hence, no one dared to cross the Coopers.
“Since Mr. Cooper has said so, I won’t bid anymore…”
“Neither will I. It is just a talisman, after all. I believe Mr. Zane still has many better talismans after this…”
“Mr. Cooper, we will give it to you then. Don’t forget this favor in the future…”
The crowd chimed in one after another.
“Don’t worry. I will tell Xander that you guys helped the Coopers. If there’s anything you need in the future, the Coopers will help out too…” Sean stood up and bowed at the crowd.
After all, most of the people gathered here today were from the wealthy families of Jadeborough. Sean did not dare to act boldly.
Galen was filled with slight disappointment upon seeing that. It seemed like his hope of earning more would be for naught.
“Since no one will bid against Mr. Cooper, then it will belong to him! But let me make this clear first, I don’t accept debts. You will have to transfer the money directly to my account for the deal to take effect!”
Galen directed his sentence at Sean.
