The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 1173
“This is a piece of useless antique and is probably worth just a few million dollars, yet you’ve placed the starting price at forty–three million dollars. That’s daylight robbery!” everyone was outraged to hear this. They all knew that this dirty, rustypiece of the mirror did not look at all like it harnessed vast powers within, and thus was not treasure at all!
Besides, the mirror was already with the Powells for a few days now, and ifit were truly treasure, the Powells would never have auctioned it!
Therefore, it was highly unlikely for the Mirror of Aegis to be a piece of priceless treasure!
However, at the same time, there was no guarantee at all, and since most treasures fell into different hands throughout the ages, one could not be entirely sure that an ancient relic did not possess hidden secrets at all.
Therefore, since the Mirror of Aegis was indeed an ancient relic, there was a small–but not negligible- chance that this could indeed be a priceless treasure!
“Forty–three million and eight hundred thousand dollars!”
“Fifty–seven million dollars!”
“Fifty–eight million dollars!”
People began to shout out their offers. They were all just trying their luck, but as time went on and the price gradually was raised to about 85 million dollars, the auctioneers gradually gave up.
After all, the probability of the mirror being a real piece of treasure was too small, and its steep price could not justify the minuscule chances at all.
None of them were idiots!
“One hundred million dollars!” Quinton declared, raising his sign..
“A hundred and fifteen million!” Tim shouted, joining in.
“Since the Hunts and the Durkans have decided to join in, there’s no way us Geoffreys won’t join in the fun! I’m offering a hundred and forty–three million dollars!” A man in his late twenties shouted from a corner of the right side of the room, raising his sign.
The Hunts, the Durkans, and the Geoffreys were the three major families in Seacove City.
The man who shouted this offer was none other than William Geoffrey, the heir of the Geoffrey fortune.
“Oh no!” seeing that all three of the major families joined in and were raising the price, Leon could not help feeling even more panicked.
Now that he recognized the Mirror of Aegis as his ancestor’s treasure, there was no way he could allow it to fall into the wrong hands!
He wanted to join in the auction too, but he did not have the money to do so!
He came to Seacove City toget the Snow Lotus and prepared 130 million dollars from Elegante Group’s funding for it, with no extra m
Besides, Elegante Group was only worth about 650 million dollars, yet he already took out 130 million frfunding–this was already the most he could stretch.
Even if he prepared for this auction beforehand, there was no way he could outbid the three major famil
All of a sudden, an idea popped into his head.
“Hey, Iris, yesterday I asked you to help me gather two hundred and eighty–seven million dollars fromYoung Group–how is it coming along?” Leon asked expectantly, casting his gaze on Iris.novelbin
Two days ago, he acquired Wright Group, and even though he gave the Wrights a Pure Energy Pillin return, its value was still a far cry from the Wright Group’s entire assets.
Therefore, Leon specifically requested Iris to gather 287 million dollars from the Youngs in preparation to
