Chapter 149 About to Explode with Anger!
Watching Lachlan muster up the courage to make his bid, Mason couldn't help but cringe. Little didanyone else know, Mason was well aware that this Suppressing Talisman was being sold byLachlan himself! It was a total scam and Mason's brother-in-law was playing with fire. He eitherplanned to swindle Summer or Kayden.
"42 million!" Summer called out again upon seeing Lachlan make his move.
"43 million! Ms. Willis, don't be ridiculous!" Lachlan gritted his teeth in frustration.
"44 million!"
"You don't have the funds for that kind of price tag, so shut it," Summer sneered.
"Fine then, you win," Lachlan seethed with anger and disappointment in his voice.
Kayden felt like he was on an emotional rollercoaster as he watched Lachlan sit back downdefeatedly while also eyeing Summer warily. Was this really the end of it? Could there possibly bemore?
"45 million!" Kayden, with a forced smile, spoke once more.
He was worried that even the 50 million dollars Isa had given him might not be enough...
If Lachlan came back, he would have to seek approval from Isa again.
"Brother-in-law, should we continue?"
At this moment, Mason, who was on the side, asked eagerly.
Watching Lachlan getting their comeuppance, he couldn't help but feel delighted.
"That's enough! Don't waste my own money." Lachlan chuckled and shook his head, feeling that itwas time to stop.
At this moment, the auctioneer on the stage shouted excitedly, "45 million once! Twice! Three times!Congratulations to the gentleman in number 22 for winning this Suppressing Talisman!!"
"Phew... This darn thing finally stopped!"
Kayden let out a sigh of relief.
The scene was now in an uproar...
No one could have expected that this poorly regarded talisman would fetch such a staggering price!
"It had a starting price of just 5 million, and it went for 45 million! It's almost ten times the baseprice!"
"Who consigned it for auction? They must be making a fortune!"
"Is number 22 a big sucker? Spent 45 million on this thing. Who even knows if it's authentic!"
The crowd was buzzing with discussions...
That beauty, looking at Kayden at this moment, seemed to have a strange illusion that the his headhad grown a size bigger.
"A bunch of idiots know nothing! This is a treasure that can kill Transmutation Force's later-stageexperts. It costs less than 50 million, it's simply value for money!" Listening to the discussionsaround him, Kayden blushed and cursed.
"Yes! That's right! You're so smart, Kayden!"
The beauty nodded reluctantly and complimented him insincerely.
Slap!
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Kayden slapped her in the face.
"Are you f*cking trying to insult me?"
...
At eleven o'clock in the morning, the morning session of the auction ended. Twenty minutes later,Lachlan walked out of the settlement office with a smile on his face.
As fate would have it, he saw Kayden hugging the beauty with several bodyguards by his sidecoming out from another room. The consignment and bidding settlement offices were not together.At this time, Suppressing Talisman was already in Kayden's hands.
Meeting Lachlan here face-to-face made Kayden sneer, "Willis, what are you doing here?" Thebeauty also mocked Lachlan, "That's right! Seems like you didn't get anything."
"Haha," Kayden Lachlan. "He should be grateful that he didn't win anything! I suspect this guydoesn't even have any money; he just came here to cause trouble. If he really won but couldn't payfor it... the Graham family would chop him up and feed him to dogs!"
Kayden burst into laughter at this remark.
At this moment Mason couldn't help but laugh when seeing how smugly happy Kayden looked,"Damn dude! You're killing me..."
Hearing these words made Kayden's expression darken instantly, "Mr. Lowe please watch yourmanners!" But Mason only laughed harder - this guy never stopped talking yet told others abouttheir manners…
Just then an employee from the Graham Family chased after them from inside one of rooms theyhad just left.
"Mr. Willis please wait!" said the Graham Family employee who caught up with them before handingover a golden card imprinted with large character "Graham".
"Mr. Willis," said the Graham Family employee respectfully while holding out their hand towardsLachlan. "This is our Golden VIP Card for our auctions at the Graham Family Auction House; whenparticipating in future auctions hosted by us, 3% will be deducted off your fees during biddingsettlements."
"This is a treatment that only guests who have made purchases totaling 40 million at the Grahamfamily auction can receive," the steward said politely.novelbin
The Graham family organized auctions, but it was not just about spending money. Guests who canprovide treasures will also be treated well. It was a mutually beneficial relationship.
"Okay, thank you!" Lachlan smiled and accepted it.
However, at this moment, Kayden suddenly yelled out loud, "What is this? Why does he also havethis card? This guy didn't buy anything, when did he spend 40 million?"
Just now when he settled his account, he also received such a golden VIP card. But his was boughtwith real money!
Why did this guy who hadn't bought anything get one too?
"Sir, please don't get excited! I said it's for guests whose total purchases reach 40 million! AlthoughMr. Willis didn't buy anything himself, he sold 45 million worth of items so of course he qualifies forthe card!" The Graham family steward explained to Kayden with a frown after being startled by hisoutburst.
"Sold... sold 45 million?" Kayden was confused upon hearing this number. It sounded familiar to himsomehow.
"Yes! That Suppressing Talisman was consigned by me for auction. How about that? Surprised ornot surprised?" Lachlan grinned mischievously and teased them both.
Mason couldn't help laughing and cursing, "Bullshit! Impossible! How could you sell thatSuppressing Talisman? If it really was you, then why did you bid on it yourself?"
Kayden widened his eyes and looked at the Graham family steward, "If that's true, then doesn't theGraham family care about this?"
The steward didn't know that Lachlan had bid on his own item as well but still smiled professionallyas she explained to Kayden, "Sir, we haven't set any rules prohibiting consignors from bidding ontheir own items in our auctions."
"If he really wins an item through bidding , then he still has to pay for it like everyone else; there'snothing wrong with doing so."
"Anyway no matter what happens, we'll still take our 20% commission."
Hearing these words made Kayden tremble and turn red in anger!
Feeling like his lungs were about to explode, Kayden couldn't believe he had just spent $45 millionon Lachlan's stuff. "Lachlan! You're freaking scamming me!" he yelled. "I... oh my god!" Kaydenstuttered in response.
Kayden felt a surge of anger and frustration, causing him to cough up blood. This was no joke - hewas literally sickened by the situation.
