Chapter 2958
Chapter 2958: Billionaire Li
Tranquility engulfed the auction house . No one dared to speak loudly; a few even tried to breathe quietly .
After all, the wife of a progenitor in Luminous Master has joined in . Her status was simply matchless .
Most people would just give up right now . There was no point in antagonizing her and creating animosity with a progenitor .
Moreover, if Li Qiye were to quit now, this was akin to doing Creek King a favor - a move described as smartly rowing the boat along with the current .
Most importantly, not a single person would mock him for giving up at this crucial moment . In fact, being a competitor against her was already an honor . Giving up wasn’t a big deal at all .
“Don’t pursue this any further . ” One kind big shot told Li Qiye .
All could see that Li Qiye had no lack of money, meaning that he had no lack of treasures . Therefore, there was no need for him to bid on this sword . Why not do a favor for Creek King and drop a potential problem?
Everyone watched with bated breath, waiting to see what this madman would do .
“Her Majesty bid 110,000,000 . ” The auctioneer smiled at Li Qiye with ripples in her eyes like the autumn waves: “Young Noble Li, there are better items later on waiting for you . ”
Her voice was as soft as water and enchanting enough to make even bones go weak . She naturally hoped that he would give up as well, hence her comment .
Of course, the auction house wanted to make money but they also wanted to build a good relationship with someone as wealthy as Li Qiye . She felt that it would be better for him to not antagonize Creek King .
“I will bid later if they’re good items . ” Li Qiye smiled and casually tossed chips at the auctioneer .
“Rustle . ” Loud noises fell down, nearly covering the auctioneer completely .
“What? That has to be a few dozen million!” The crowd became astounded .
These chips were used in Arrogance Enterprise . Since the enterprise had stores everywhere, one could treat the chips as a form of currency .
Someone took a quick count and realized that these chips were worth a few dozen million!
Moreover, this was only a casual tip . Even the strongest and wealthiest emperor wouldn’t be so generous .
She stood there like a wooden chicken . She has worked in the auction house for decades now and still didn’t make as much as the tip today .
“Thank you, Young Noble . ” She regained her sanity and bowed to show her gratitude .
“1,000,000,000 . ” Li Qiye then stated his bid in a carefree manner .
The crowd exploded into a furor once more .
“Another bid of one billion! This guy is insane! That’s enough money to drown someone to death!” All eyes were on him .
He didn’t give up and actually raised it to one billion, completely overwhelming Creek King’s previous bid .
“These are progenitorial stones we’re talking about…” One murmured .
“One billion progenitorial stones, what…?” Many became stupefied .
Progenitorial stones were prohibitively rare . Spending so much for an ancestral sword wasn’t worth it .
This amount was beyond the wealth of numerous systems . Only a few would be able to produce this sum, albeit with great difficulty . Only progenitors themselves would be able to do so .
“1,000,000,000…” The auctioneer's hand shook violently, nearly dropping her gavel .
“Going once…” She needed to hold it with both hands now, feeling extremely nervous . Her legs were trembling as well .
“Sold for 1,000,000,000!” She finally smashed the gavel, ending this auction .
When this experienced auctioneer let go of her gavel, her hands were still trembling . Emotions still got the best of her .
Flying Sword Marvel watched the sword being delivered to Li Qiye while shaking, not because of Li Qiye’s huge bid but just from pure indignation .
Her supreme self has never been subjected to such humiliation before, not to mention that she was completely powerless before the power of money .
This was even more humiliating than if she were to lose a fight to him!
People took a deep breath, fully aware that Li Qiye had slapped three people in one go - Flying Sword Marvel, Creek King, and Luminous Master .
“Sir, I feel inadequate before your bold showing . ” Creek King’s voice came from above, full of sentiments .
“It’s just pocket change, can’t reach the apex . ” Li Qiye casually replied .
Creek King could only sigh and stopped talking . She wasn’t angry at all . Her self-control was superior compared to Flying Sword Marvel .
Meanwhile, the audience had a weak smile on their face . One billion progenitorial stones were considered pocket change?
This might be the most domineering statement they have ever heard . Only progenitors could say this without being laughed at .
Strangely enough, they didn’t think he was boasting after his repeated display of wealth . In fact, he was probably holding back, not being as ostentatious as can be .
They were completely convinced by his financial prowess at this point .
“Sigh, Boss, you must be rich beyond imagination . ” Tang Ben became a fan: “I am a country bumpkin in comparison while you’re the richest in the city . I bow before you . ” He lowered his head after saying this .
People didn’t know how to feel about Tang Ben . They were certainly annoyed at his bravado but he was being quite cute right now, easily accepting defeat .
“Billionaire Li lives up to his title . ” Someone else said, liking this title even more .
Only Flying Sword Marvel remained furious . She glared at Li Qiye; her cold eyes containing a faint hint of murderous intention . It was impossible for her to let this go .
Next, the auction house sent out more items of the progenitorial level - a scripture, holy items, and rare artifacts… The crowd certainly broadened their horizon .
The competition was fierce . The buyers who were aiming for these items were on edge the entire time, afraid that Billionaire Li would suddenly join the fray .
They knew better than to compete against him at this point . Fortunately, he didn’t bother looking at these items, clearly not interested .
