Zhang Hao's voice was teasingly said, "I was just shouting randomly. As long as you add a little more, I wasn't planning to compete with you anymore. I didn't expect you to be so generous and add five hundred thousand at once. Then This Young Master won't compete with you anymore, I'll give it to you. Anyway, this Fire Cloud Sword is useless to me."
"Pfft!"
Wen Tailai was almost spitting blood from anger. He pointed at the private room where Zhang Hao was located and said with a trembling voice, "Ge Xia, you are going too far."
"Going too far? This Young Master doesn't think so. This Young Master is just bidding normally," Zhang Hao said with a lazy smile.
"Alright, this Fire Cloud Sword belongs to this Young Master," the Auctioneer declared with a final hammer strike.
A maid quickly handed the Fire Cloud Sword to Wen Tailai.
Although Wen Tailai successfully bid for this Fire Cloud Sword, for some reason, he didn't feel any joy in his heart. He gritted his teeth in hatred towards the person in Private Room 10. He was not a kind person and would not stand by idly when someone bullied him to his Face.
Wen Tailai muttered in confusion, "Strange, why do I feel so familiar with this person? I always feel like I've heard that voice somewhere before. He is definitely someone I know. But among the people I know, there's no such person at all."
Suddenly, a Face flashed in Wen Tailai's mind. This Face was precisely Zhang Hao.
Could it be him?
However, this thought was immediately dismissed by Wen Tailai as soon as it arose.
"Impossible. This person can enter Private Room 10, his status is extraordinary. How could it be that Kid?"
Although Wen Tailai denied this idea of his, this thought, once born, grew wildly in his heart, irrepressibly.
"No, think carefully. This voice really sounds like that Kid. Although that person deliberately changed his tone, if you listen carefully, you can still hear it completely," Wen Tailai mused.
However, although Wen Tailai thought so, he still couldn't be sure. After all, it was too unbelievable.
"Hmph, whether it's you or not, as long as you speak again, This Young Master will be able to tell," Wen Tailai muttered to himself.
The auction continued.
"This is the beast king fruit, from the extreme west. It is extremely rare! I believe many Martial Warriors present here have the habit of raising battle pets! This beast king fruit can accelerate the evolution of battle pets. Even Wang Beasts can benefit greatly from it. This time, ten beast king fruits are sold as a package. The starting price is one million lower grade crystal stones," the Auctioneer said, spitting.
"One million five hundred thousand!" a voice shouted.
"Two million!"
"Two million one hundred thousand..."
The price quickly soared. It soon surpassed two million five hundred thousand.
After all, the beast king fruit, which can accelerate the evolution of battle pets, is indeed a rare find. It's not something you can encounter just anywhere.
"Boss, I want the beast king fruit. I feel that as long as you give me the beast king fruit, Little Dragon can immediately advance to the Late Stage of Wang Beast," Little Dragon's voice was very urgent.
Not only Little Dragon, but even Little Black was jumping up and down in Zhang Hao's battle pet space, clearly also hoping to get this beast king fruit.
Zhang Hao's heart stirred, and he smiled, "Don't worry, this beast king fruit will definitely not get away."
The price had not yet reached its limit, and the competition was still ongoing.
"Two million seven hundred thousand lower grade crystal stones."
"This beast king fruit, I, Ancestor Han Bing, am determined to get it. I hope my fellow daoists will give me some Face," an Old Man with a Bald Eagle standing on his shoulder and a Face like a withered crane stood up and bowed to everyone.
"Ancestor Han Bing?"
Some of the competing VIPs present immediately fell silent. This Ancestor Han Bing was a ruthless individual. And he was extremely vengeful. If you offended him, it would definitely be a very troublesome matter.
The Auctioneer was immediately a little unhappy. However, Ancestor Han Bing did not violate the rules. The people from the auction house were also helpless. He wasn't using coercion or temptation, he was just asking for a favor. This didn't seem to violate the rules, although everyone knew what was going on.
Seeing that no one was bidding anymore, the Auctioneer immediately became anxious. He shouted, "This is the beast king fruit, a beast king fruit that can accelerate the advancement of battle pets. If you miss this village, you won't find this shop again..."
However, no matter how the Auctioneer shouted, the original bidding VIPs, after weighing the situation, all decided to give Ancestor Han Bing Face and stopped competing.
This beast king fruit was worth far more than this price. If it were sold to Ancestor Han Bing like this, it would be a great loss for the auction house. However, businesses have their principles. Even if they knew they would lose money, as long as Ancestor Han Bing obtained it through proper auction, the people from the business would have to accept it.
"Three million!" a lazy voice sounded.
"What? It's that mysterious person from Private VIP Room 10 again. Is that person not afraid of offending Ancestor Han Bing? Ancestor Han Bing is a mid-level Martial Grandmaster," a guest present said in surprise.
"What do you know? This person is a VIP who can enter a private room. How could he be afraid of some Ancestor Han Bing? The fact that he dares to bid proves that he is confident and fearless."
Ancestor Han Bing was also so angry that his eyes flashed with killing intent. He coldly asked the person in Private Room 10, "Ge Xia, are you really not going to give me, Ancestor Han Bing, any Face?"
Zhang Hao said disdainfully to Ancestor Han Bing, "This Young Master doesn't know Ge Xia. Why should I give you Face?"
"Good... very good... I, Ancestor Han Bing, admit defeat!"
Ancestor Han Bing did not bid again. Clearly, three million crystal stones exceeded his bottom line. Or perhaps he had other plans.
Soon, the ten beast king fruits were brought to the private room where Zhang Hao was located. The ten beast king fruits were quickly divided between Little Black and Little Dragon. Each beast got five beast king fruits.
After consuming the beast king fruits, Little Black and Little Dragon immediately fell into a deep sleep. Zhang Hao was also very much looking forward to seeing how much the two beasts would grow when he saw them again.
Zhang Hao, however, did not know that at this moment, Wen Tailai had discovered his identity.
"Damn it, so it really was you!" a sinister look appeared on Wen Tailai's Face.
Through analyzing Zhang Hao's voice, Wen Tailai had confirmed that the person in Private Room 10 was Zhang Hao, and he was extremely certain.
The only thing that confused Wen Tailai was how Zhang Hao was qualified to enter Private Room 10. One must know that in Haoxian City, only the Sect Leader of Hao Xian Sect or the heads of various professional branches, such as the Alchemist branch or the Artifact Forger branch, were qualified to enter private rooms.
"Hmph, Kid, no matter how you got into the private room, I, Wen Tailai, will not make it easy for you," Wen Tailai muttered to himself.
Wen Tailai watched Ancestor Han Bing's figure leaving the auction house, his heart stirred, and a cold smile appeared on his Face. He said, "Hmph hmph, Kid, do you think hiding your voice makes it seamless? However, if Ancestor Han Bing finds out that the person who snatched his beast king fruit was you, I wonder how Ancestor Han Bing will deal with you? I, Wen Tailai, am really looking forward to it!"
