"Who? Twenty million? Are you crazy?"
Hearing someone shout out that this rusty bronze alchemy furnace was auctioned at a high price of 20 million, everyone in the audience exclaimed and turned to look at the back row...
Under the dim light, I saw that the person shouting the high price was a young man, Liao Jie who had appeared at the door of Chen Hao's house before!
There was also a man sitting next to him wearing a black robe and a hood with his head lowered. His appearance could not be seen clearly and he looked particularly mysterious!
Gabriel Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the mysterious man beside Liao Jie, sensing a Yin Malevolent Qi from him!
It can be inferred from this that this person is practicing evil arts with Yin Malevolent Qi, otherwise he would not have such strong Yin Malevolent Qi in his body.
"Twenty million times...!"
As the host shouted, Chen Hao reacted, looked away, raised his hand and shouted again: "Thirty million!"
"I'll go, 30 million..."
Such a high price made the whole audience exclaim. Some people whispered: "Is this pretty boy crazy? Or is he just raising the price randomly because Miss Ye is rich?"
"Forty million!"
As a result, Liao Jie called out the price again.
Now everyone in the audience was in a frenzy.
Because this bronze alchemy furnace looks rusty, apart from its good craftsmanship and for viewing purposes, it has no value. It is worth only a few million at most.
But they didn't know how important this cauldron alchemy furnace was to Chen Hao!
But Liao Jie shouted 40 million, which made him raise his eyebrows, because 30 million was Gabriel Chen limit.
Previously, because of gambling with Selena Su, he won 28 million, as well as the 10 million to treat Aries Lin's father, plus the 8 million to Grandpa Selena Su Caiyun to treat the disease, the total of the eight million given by the other party was only Forty-six million.
The ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and Polygonum multiflorum he just bought cost 18 million, so if he raised the price again, he would have no money.
"Fifty million!"
Celeste Ye, who was sitting next to her, seemed to notice something strange about Gabriel Chen. She knew that he had no money, but also knew that he was bound to get the bronze alchemy furnace, so she raised her hand and raised the price.
"Oh my god, Miss Ye actually helped him get 50 million!"
The whole audience was shocked. They glared at Gabriel Chen with all kinds of jealous and hateful eyes. Some people expressed their grief and said: "How can this pretty boy be so virtuous and capable..."
Liao Jie, who was sitting in the back, did not expect that the price would be 50 million, so he whispered to the mysterious person next to him and shouted again: "60 million!"
"Seventy million!"
Celeste Ye said nothing, raised her sign and shouted.
The whole place was silent.
Liao Jie glared at Gabriel Chen, gritted his teeth and shouted again: "Eighty million!"
"One hundred million!"
Celeste Ye sign again and shouted 100 million.
"hiss…"
The whole audience took a breath, and some people shook their heads and sighed.
She didn't say it, but in her heart she thought it was idiotic and stupid for Celeste Ye to spend 100 million to buy this rusty bronze for a pretty boy.
Even Liao Jie had a heavy face, and after muttering to the mysterious man next to him, he reluctantly stopped bidding.
"Once a hundred million, twice a hundred million, three times a hundred million..."
Snapped!
"Congratulations to Miss Ye for taking this bronze vessel..."
This thrilling high-price scene ended with the host banging the gavel.
The auction was still going on, but Gabriel Chen had already gotten up and left with Celeste Ye and the others.
Under the jealous and hateful eyes of everyone, the three of them went to the backstage to handle the transaction procedures...
"I will return the money to you as soon as possible."
After completing the formalities, Gabriel Chen held three wooden boxes, which were the medicinal materials he took.
Because the bronze cauldron was heavy, people from the auction house would personally escort it to the door.
"No, just think of it as a gift from me."
Celeste Ye smiled and shook her head. To her, one hundred million was just a small amount of money.
"This gift is too big, I can't accept it."
Gabriel Chen went out with them and said, "I will find a way to pay you back as soon as possible..."
Celeste Ye stopped and said, "Why can't you accept it? Do you really hate me that much?"
Gabriel Chen Hao paused, turned to look at her, shook his head slightly and said, "Miss Ye, you misunderstood, I don't hate you."
"But the relationship between you and me is just that of a patient and a doctor. So, please don't think too much about it!"
Celeste Ye beautiful eyes filled with tears at these words, she pursed her red lips and stared at him with a faint look...
"Dr. Chen, what you said is so hurtful."
Laura couldn't stand it and said angrily: "My eldest Young Lady is sincere to you, but you say such heartless words. You really think you are that wealthy Young Master..."
"Laura, shut up!"
Celeste Ye quickly scolded Laura. She suppressed the disappointment in her heart, put on a smile again on her pretty face, and said to Gabriel Chen: "It's okay, I won't think too much about it. If you want to pay back the money, just pay it back."
Seeing her attitude, Gabriel Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't say anything and followed Celeste Ye out of the auction hall...
However, at the gate, Liao Jie and the mysterious man had already come out.
Gabriel Chen stopped when he saw this, knowing that the other party was waiting for him.
Celeste Ye frowned, her intuition telling her that these two people were not good people...
"You guys get in the car first."
As Gabriel Chen said, he took the initiative to greet Liao Jie and the mysterious man who came over...
Celeste Ye, who had not gotten into the car, raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but look worried...
"Boy, you can rely on the Young Lady of the Ye Ye Family to compete with us for the alchemy cauldron at the auction."
Liao Jie's eyes were cold, and his mouth was full of ridicule: "No wonder everyone says you are a pretty boy, haha, you really deserve your reputation."
Gabriel Chen's face was expressionless, but his eyes were always focused on the mysterious man in black robes next to Liao Jie, with a hood covering half of his face. He said calmly: "If you are just paying lip service, then don't mess with me."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. The mysterious man laughed strangely and said, "Gabriel Chen, right? I didn't expect that such a young talent would appear in the small Linhai City. It's not simple."
Seeing the other party speaking, Gabriel Chen stopped, turned around, looked at him and said, "If I guess correctly, you are the Zuo Messenger of the Ghost King Sect?"
"hehe…"
This man raised his head and took off the hood of his head, revealing a thin face. He was probably in his fifties, with no eyebrows, sunken eye sockets, and a pair of sharp and sinister eyes that made people shudder.
He looked evil, had a mustache, and grinned with dark teeth, and said, "It seems like you are really not afraid of our Ghost King Sect!"
"Why be afraid?"
Although the other party exuded a powerful aura, Gabriel Chen was as steady as a mountain and looked into the Zuo envoy's sharp eyes without any fear.
"oh?"
The Zuo envoy was surprised and said with a smile: "So, your sect is very strong and you are not under my Ghost King Sect?"
"Haha, tell me quickly who your master is and what his sect is?"
Gabriel Chen shook his head: "I don't have a master or a disciple!"
"Without a backer, why are you pretending to be cool?" Liao Jie mocked disdainfully.
"Only by myself!"
Gabriel Chen turned his eyes and said calmly to Liao Jie.
However, a domineering aura swept towards Liao Jie like a huge wave. His expression changed on the spot, and he took a few steps back uncontrollably. He looked at Gabriel Chen in amazement...
"What a strong aura!"
Zuo Zhishi's old face also showed a look of surprise. He looked at Gabriel Chen with all his eyes and said, "At such a young age, you have such a strong aura. It seems that you are indeed a talent."
"Let's do this. Our Ghost King Sect is recruiting talents. If you are willing to give me the alchemy cauldron, I can be your recommender and let you join our Ghost King Sect and put you in good use."
"As for the matter between Samuel Wang and that Betty Yu, I can forget about it. What do you think?"
Gabriel Chen face was expressionless, he didn't expect them to come here again.
"Why don't you agree quickly?"
Liao Jie glared and said: "My master is willing to recruit you into our Ghost King Sect, but your ancestral graves are already smoking, why are you still hesitant?"
Immediately, Gabriel Chen chuckled lightly and said, "Thank you for looking after me, but for an evil sect like your Ghost King Sect that does all kinds of evil, I have no interest in associating with you."
These words made Master Zuo, Liao Jie, and their disciples' expressions darken, and they said, "So, you are determined to be an enemy of our Ghost King Sect?"
"Young man, I advise you to think clearly. Facing our Ghost King Sect alone is like an ant facing the sky. You will only end up dead!"
Gabriel Chen chuckled disdainfully and said, "Whether I die or not is not up to you."
"At least you're not qualified yet!"
After saying that, Gabriel Chen turned towards Celeste Ye who was waiting over there, and took them away.
"That's crazy!"
Liao Jie's face was full of anger and he said: "Master, we must not let this arrogant guy go."
Zuo Zhishi's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't expect that this kid would refuse, which made him extremely angry.
Immediately I thought that Gabriel Chen was on the list of contestants in the Linhai City Tiger List Update Contest!
Messenger Zuo said viciously: "In a few days, there will be the preliminaries for the Linhai City Dragon and Tiger Ranking Ranking Competition. Then I will personally step on him under my feet and repent...!"
