Considering the selling rate for other items, the starting price of four million would eventually be raised t o fifteen million. Though most people who participated in the auction came from a wealthy background,
four million was still a considerable amount and the majority of them did not feel that the wild Panax wa s worth its price.
Leon straightened his back in excitement when he noticed the lack of interest around the hall, as his ch ance of obtaining the Panax would be higher with fewer competitors.
âFour million and seven hundred thousand!â
âSix million!
âNine million!â
Some members of certain families had their eyes on the wild Panax and soon the price went up to twel ve million.
âFifteen million!â Leon raised his number plate.
Most of the other competitors knew that fifteen million was considered a rather high price for Panax and all contemplated if they should give up.
âFifteen million, going once! Going twice,â Jared announced calmly.
The estimated selling price for the wild Panax was written as fifteen million on the dialog and Jared was content with the price Leon offered. However, he could not recognize Leon from any of the families in Seacove City and was surprised that he managed to bid with such a large amount of money
without batting an eye.
The hammer in Jaredâs hand was about to fall and Leonâs heart raced as he prayed that everything we nt smoothly.
In the next moment, a voice echoed throughout the hall.
âTwentyâtwo million!â A young man raised the number plate in his hand.
Leon froze and turned his head in shock.
The man was in his thirties and though he looked exceptionally handsome, he was as pale as a ghost.
The two bodyguards that stood behind the man caught Leonâs attention as they oozed intimidating pow er and it was not hard to tell that they were skilled martial artists.
âItâs him! Quinton Hunt, the eldest son of the Hunts! Thatâs one of the three most powerful families here
in Seacove City!â.
The crowd stirred as many guests recognized the man. There were a few people who contemplated if they should bid for
the Panax, but all gave up once Quinton joined the bidding as they did not wish to cross the Hunts.
âThirty million!â Cynthiaâs expression darkened as she raised her number plate.
âInteresting!â Quinton turned to glare at Leon and Cynthia.
As the daughter of the almighty Shears, Cynthia was always spoiled and did not waver. She fearlessly re Perhaps Cynthia was simply too beautiful, so Quinton did not seem provoked and simply chuckled in am plate calmly again. âFortyâfive million!â
âFortyâfive million? As expected of the eldest son of the Hunts!â
âYeah! Itâs crazy to think that a piece of useless Panax would cost up to fortyâfive million. Rich people are insane!â
Everyone around Quinton gasped in awe when they heard the price Quinton offered.
