Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“By the way, I realized I haven’t introduced myself yet. Hello, I’m Jardins,
Jardins Charles!”
With a friendly smile, the girl reached out her hand, evidently expecting a handshake from Luo Feng.
Luo Feng gave her outstretched hand, dotted with pastry crumbs, a disapproving glance before grudgingly accepting the handshake.
“Why are you seeking my company when your father is here too? Shouldn’t you be with him?” Luo Feng pointed out, directing his gaze towards a nearby booth.
“Your father’s booth is close by, and it even has a better view.”
“I’d rather not.”
Jardins slouched on the table, her previously beaming smile vanishing instantly at the mention of Charles. In its place was a look of clear irritation:
“He’s so stuck in his ways, always engrossed in his business, oblivious to my mother and me. I don’t like him, and I don’t want to spend my time with him!”
As Jardins vented her frustrations, Luo Feng observed her closely, realizing that she was likely in the throes of teenage rebellion.
Feeling a sense of resignation, Luo Feng turned his attention away from her and towards the auction stage.
The bidding war for the estate was nearing its climax.
The three bidders were red-faced and heated, on the brink of hurling insults. However, the public setting dictated that they had to maintain a certain level of decorum.
Ultimately, Charles secured the estate for a hefty seventy million. “Ladies and gentlemen, our next item is quite special.”
With these words, the auctioneer unveiled a box shrouded in red cloth.
Even though the contents were hidden by the cloth, everyone present knew that this was the final item of today’s auction.
Every eye was glued to this last item. Luo Feng’s heart pounded in his chest as he fixed his gaze on the box.
Under the system’s scan, there was an enormous red dot in front.
This red dot was larger than any Luo Feng had ever seen!
Without a shadow of a doubt, this item was the star attraction of today’s auction – the Sheep Head!
The majority of the audience couldn’t afford this final item, but they had chosen to stay until the end just to witness who would emerge victorious.
Almost everyone’s eyes were riveted on the box covered with the red cloth.
Spotting the audience’s eager anticipation, the auctioneer satisfyingly lifted a small corner of the cloth.
No glint of gold was revealed, nothing at all.
Everyone strained their eyes, trying to glimpse something through that tiny corner.
Despite the fact that neither the people in the hall nor in the booths could see anything, each one created their own vision, convincing themselves they were staring at the Sheep Head!
A flurry of excited chatter filled the hall as everyone speculated about the Sheep Head, which remained unseen.
Seeing the crowd’s fervor, the auctioneer finally cleared his throat:
“I assume those who’ve waited until now already know what this final item is?” “Yes, this final item is the much-rumored Sheep Head!”
“To tell you the truth, I’ve never seen the Sheep Head before either. I’m aware everyone here is interested in it and wishes to take this treasure home.”
“But regretfully, there can only be one owner of such a treasure. I wonder who among us today will be the fortunate one to take it home!”
No sooner had the auctioneer finished speaking than he swiftly whisked away the red cloth!
All spotlights immediately converged on the Sheep Head.
Although the Sheep Head itself was not particularly ostentatious, the auctioneer’s theatrics and the spotlight transformed it into an object of awe.
Upon seeing the Sheep Head, Luo Feng’s fists clenched.
He was determined to take it home today!
Despite his determination, Luo Feng didn’t rush to bid. After all, it was futile to draw attention to himself when the object of everyone’s interest was this item.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the starting price for this Sheep Head today is 50 million dollars! If any of you are interested, please feel free to place your bids now! ”
Hearing the starting price of fifty million, the attendees collectively gasped.
Just earlier, the estate had been sold for a mere seventy million, and that was its final price.
Yet the Sheep Head had a starting price of fifty million?
Although the crowd was taken aback, this place was certainly not lacking wealthy individuals.
“55 million!”
“56 million!”
“60 million!”
“62 million!”
The bidding had just commenced, and the price had already soared past sixty million.
Luo Feng sat quietly in his booth.
“Huh? Aren’t you here for the Sheep Head? Why haven’t you bid yet?” Jardins asked, her voice laced with confusion.
He didn’t want to waste words; he merely needed to make a decisive bid at the end.
“No rush. We’ll wait until the price stabilizes,” Luo Feng responded.
As he spoke, the clamor from outside gradually subsided.
Finally, the price stabilized at 65 million..
