Chapter 268: Calculation

The Ziyun Auction House at night was as lively as ever. An auction was held here every night, and it was currently auction time.

"This is a teacup used by a Martial Emperor. Although it is made of ordinary materials, it was used by a Martial Emperor. It must be imbued with the Martial Emperor's Martial Dao. The starting price is five hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!"

A woman on the auction stage smiled charmingly and said.

"Six hundred!" Looking at the woman on the stage, a fat man shouted loudly.

Hearing the bid, the woman smiled at the fat man, and the fat man immediately became excited.

"Seven hundred!" An old man shouted in a deep voice.

"Eight hundred!" The fat man was not to be outdone.

In the end, this teacup was won by the fat man.

"This is a rare precious sword forged by Great Master Ouyang. According to our tests, it cuts through iron like butter. Martial Artists who use swords, don't miss out!

The auction starts now, one thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!"

The woman pulled back a red cloth, revealing a precious sword. She touched the blade and said loudly.

"One thousand five hundred!"

A man's voice came from a private booth, "Our Zhang Family will take it for one thousand five hundred!"

"Two thousand! The Zhang Family is nothing. If you have Spirit Stones, buy it; if not, get lost. Stop using the Zhang Family's name to pressure people." Another domineering man's voice came from a different booth.

"Three thousand!" The man from the Zhang Family shouted.

"Five thousand! The Zhang Family is nothing more than this!" The domineering man laughed.

Hearing this sharp exchange, the audience below all began to watch the excitement.

The Zhang Family and the Qu Family were the most powerful in Chenyang City. They were delighted to see the Zhang Family suffer a setback.

"Six thousand! The Zhang Family is richer than you. If you have the guts, state your name!" the Zhang Family man shouted.

The domineering man shouted, "Is six thousand a big deal? It seems the Zhang Family has completely declined, being so stingy with bids for an item.

What's the point of adding one thousand at a time! I bid eight thousand!"

"Ten thousand!" Hearing the man's mockery, the Zhang Family man immediately shouted, "How dare you insult our Zhang Family! If you have the guts, state your name; if not, stop your yapping here."

"I'm not like your Zhang Family. I came here to spend Spirit Stones, not to show off my Family. If you're capable, compete with Spirit Stones; if not, go home and drink your mother's milk! I bid twenty thousand Spirit Stones!"

The domineering man's words were enough to kill someone with anger.

Twenty thousand Spirit Stones completely exceeded the value of that sword. Now, it was no longer about fighting for the sword, but more about fighting for Face.

"Thirty thousand Spirit Stones!" the Zhang Family man said, exasperated.

"Good, the Zhang Family is truly domineering!" A mocking compliment came from the booth, and then there was no further sound.

"Ah!" the Zhang Family man roared. How could he not know he had been played? That voice just now didn't want to fight for the sharp sword at all, nor did they necessarily have a grudge against the Zhang Family; they were just坑ing him for his Spirit Stones.

Immediately, the Zhang Family man led several people and walked toward that booth in a rage.

"What do you want to do?" A Middle-aged Man stood at the door, blocking the Zhang Family man and speaking.

This Middle-aged Man was a Manager of the Ziyun Auction House.

"What do I want?" the Zhang Family man said. "This person tricked me out of Spirit Stones. Of course I'm going to take him down!"

"The Ziyun Auction House does not allow fighting, and he was merely bidding, which did not violate the Rules.

I should also congratulate you on obtaining the treasure!" The Middle-aged Man waved his hand, and a maid brought out the precious sword.

"You… you…" Seeing the scene before him, the Zhang Family man also realized that the person inside this booth was in league with the Qu Family.

In fact, it was the Qu Family that was calculating against him.
