nThe atmosphere in the bar had been completely ignited.
nMany people treated it as an opportunity to win the lottery.
nAfter all, the possibility of hatching a purple quality battle beast was practically zero!
nMany people had never even seen a purple quality Battle Beast hatching throughout their entire lives.
nSome people began to recall their time in high school. It was the only time in their life that they had caught a glimpse of the noble purple glow of rare beasts. Even then, it was extremely rare, as only a select few geniuses had possessed them.
nSo, would the Beast Egg in Locke’s hands create such a miracle?
nNo one was willing to believe it.
nInstead, more people had seen it as an opportunity.
nIt was a chance to get three magic beast eggs for free.
nThat was equivalent to 3 million coins!
nHowever, therein lies the problem. People who had such thoughts were usually customers who did not possess the money in the first place.
nAfter all, how capable could people who take easy opportunities be!
nTherefore, in Locke’s eyes, these people were just fodder to make up the numbers.
nIt was also because of this that everyone was excited, as they hoped to have a chance in the auction.
nGerardo did not leave the bar.
nHe had enough money on hand.
nGerardo was the last person that Taylor contacted. He had a lot of money. All he lacked was luck.
nIn Gerardo’s opinion, if his luck had been any better, he would have lived in the inner city.
nThere was no need to mingle with this group of people.
nLoitering in such a shabby bar.
nHowever, this was the night where his luck would change!
nA purple quality Battle Beast would allow him to smoothly enter the inner city and live there.
nIf not, he would receive 3 million coins for free!
nIt was not a figure to be scoffed at.
nTime passed.
nSoon, an hour had gone by.
nMany people had already returned to the bar.
nThe bar became even more lively, and the night had reached its peak!
nLocke stood on the stage again.
nAfter making a simple introduction, Locke began the final auction of the night.
nAfter laying the groundwork throughout the entire day, Locke intended to obtain the biggest harvest in the final deal!
nHe had planned for everything.
nHe had already fulfilled his expectations ahead of time.
nSo, what surprise would this final segment bring him?
nPurple quality Battle Beasts were meaningless to him. They were far less practical than money. In fact, as long as he had the money, Locke would be able to buy the materials needed to hatch his rose gold Battle Beasts.
nThis was his chance to obtain those funds.
nAfter taking a look at Taylor, and nodding at her, he began to speak.
n“Thank you for your support tonight. This is the highlight of the night. This will be our last auction. So everyone, please seize the opportunity!”
n“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
n“If it’s not purple, then it’s a free gift of three Beast Eggs!”
n“If it’s purple, then the highest bidder will get it!”
n“Are you ready, guys?”
nLocke’s enthusiastic words had riled up the crowd below, and the atmosphere had become lively.
nEveryone was carrying a bag in their hands, and there were huge amounts of money in them!
nSome people were here for a purple-quality battle beast!
nWhereas some had borrowed a lot of money all for the sake of earning the 3 million federal coins!
nWith that…
nThe auction officially had begun!
n“The lowest bid is 8 million! Let us now begin the auction!”
nVery quickly, there were people below the stage hiking up the price!
nSince it was a bid for a purple quality Battle Beast, the price rose rapidly without any pause.
n“12 million federal coins!”
n“I bid 15 million federal coins!”
n“15.8 million federal coins!”
nGerardo had also joined the fray.
n“18 million federal coins!”
nIn this area, there was not a single person who did not recognize this unlucky rich man!
nSeeing Gerardo make a bid, the crowd did not show him any respect and began to raise their bids one after another.
nNormally, they would not disobey Gerardo, but this was an auction, and it was also an opportunity to make a fortune, so there was no need to give him any respect.
nAt the same time, if they did not seize the opportunity, the gap between them and Gerardo would only grow bigger and bigger!
nTherefore, no one showed any mercy and bade!
n“19 million!”
nGerardo’s price was quickly overtaken.
nGerardo in no hurry. It was still early, and he still had more than enough money.
nInstead, he was curious to see if these people had as much wealth as him!
nA purple quality Battle Beast was what he wanted the most!
nTherefore, he would spare no expense to purchase it.
nBefore long, the price had reached a terrifying 23 million federal coins.
nMoreover, it did not show any signs of slowing down.
n“23.5 million!”
n“23.8 million!”
nHowever, the increment was becoming smaller and smaller. It seemed that many had reached their limits.
nAt this moment, Gerardo could not help but make another bid.
n“25 million!” Gerardo raised his hand and calmly stated a number!
nA wave of gasps could be heard.
nThis price was extremely high!
nIf they were to calculate it, a purple quality Battle Beast would be worth around this price.
nWithout a doubt, Gerardo had bid the right price.
nHowever, this was a battle of attrition. Of course, no one would show mercy.
nAn old man who was sitting in the corner made a bid, “I bid 26 million!”
nGerardo made another bid as well. “27 million!”
n“27.5 million!”
n“29 million!”
nAs expected, Gerardo would not back down. He directly raised the price to 29 million!
nThis was already beyond the price of a purple quality Battle Beast.
nHowever, the atmosphere was heated. He could not be easily stopped.
nOn the other side, the bearded man immediately called out the price, “30 million! This is my last bid. If you want to follow, then feel free to do so!”
nUpon hearing the bearded man’s bid, everyone in the bar gasped.
nThere were many factors, however, the main reason was because most were unable to afford that much.
nAfter all, most of the capital that the people brought was money that they had borrowed from others.
nThis was beyond the limits of many people.
nAs one of the richest person in the area, Gerardo was not one to squander money on trivial things.
nHowever, this opportunity was too important to him.
nIn his eyes, the Beast Egg before him was an actual purple Battle Beast!
nTherefore, Gerardo did not hesitate.
n“33 million!” A faint voice sounded.
n
nGerardo had made his bid.
nLocke looked at the scene in front of him and grinned.
nThe current situation seemed to have exceeded his expectations!
nThe price might go even higher.
nAfter all, there were already people in the audience who were planning to cooperate and bid for the Beast Egg!
nThose who did not have that enough money were already joining forces.
nThen the price would go even higher!
nIt was a never-ending stream of high bids!
nIt was exactly what Locke wanted!
