Chapter 1445

“Mister Wolf, please believe me. This jade carving is not some amazing treasure. Please stop bidding any further, you might end up with it.”

Leon shook his head. His expression was incredibly serious.

“You!”

“Mister Wolf, can you please stop causing trouble?!”

“A treasure with such a strong attribute like this is incredibly important to me. No matter how expensive it is, I have to secure it!” Raphael complained unhappily.

It was obvious that Leon’s constant meddling already thoroughly angered him!

If he did not see Leon as a friend, he would probably have blown up at Leon right on the spot!

“Mister Westwood, please calm down. Just think about it. If this jade carving is something that amazing, why would the Black Gorilla auction it off?” Leon deliberately lowered his voice.

“That-”

Those words were like a shout in Raphael’s head that immediately woke him up.

It was just like Leon said. Earlier, the Black Gorilla was the one to activate the jade carving. It caused everyone to believe that the carving was a Mystical Dragon Jade even more!

Since the Black Gorilla knew that the jade was a valuable treasure that could help the training of a martial artist, it would not be hard for the Black Gorilla to just take it for himself. The underworld prioritized strength all the time. There was no reason for him to auction off something so amazing!

Not only that, something as valuable and rare as the Mystical Dragon Jade would at least be properly marketed even if it was going to be auctioned off at the black market. They would want to attract more attention so it would be bid at an even higher price!

Yet, at that moment, he just got the news in the morning, and the black market started the auction in the afternoon. It was as if they were worried that too many people would be there!

It was all just too strange!

“Mister Wolf, do you mean that this could be a scam?” Raphael’s eyes widened in realization.

“I can’t exactly be certain,” Leon said calmly, not answering it straight.

However, he knew very well that, if this was a scam, then it would be related to the Black Gorilla!

It was even possible that everything was planned by the Black Gorilla!

After all, the man was a vicious figure in the underworld. It was not like the man had a shining reputation. It would be no surprise for him to try and make a fortune with such means!

“That-” Raphael’s face darkened at that.

After Leon’s reminder and the various things that happened, he felt increasingly certain that this could be a scam!

“Mister Wolf, I’ll believe you for now. I hope you’re just speaking nonsense.”

On the other side, while Leon and Raphael were discussing things in private, Seth and the others were continuing to bid.

“I’m bidding one hundred and eighty–six million!”

“One hundred and ninety–five million!”

“I’ll bid two hundred million!”

All of the men there somehow pulled the price up to 200 million!

It was obvious that most of them were already at their limits!

“I’m going to get this carving! I’ll bid two hundred and fifteen million!” Seth said coldly. An impressive aura was around him as he looked down on everyone else.
