Free Web NovelChapter 28: Chapter 28: $1 billion
The party was still going on, Vivi and I parted ways without being detected.
Jumping into the cool swimming pool, many girls under the water were holding wine glasses.
A high-end apartment is truly different from a normal one. People with status will take good care of themselves, which is why I have not seen any ugly woman in this apartment building.
I decided to leave the party. Returning home, I saw a shipping box at the door.
A bit surprised by this speed, I carried the box inside the house. Opening the box, there were a lot of things inside.
After preparing for a while, I put on a charcoal black suit, wore black shoes, had a gold watch on my wrist, and wore glasses on my head. Looking into the mirror, I saw that I was extremely handsome.
Truly interesting.
The next morning.
I woke up early to prepare my things, still not seeing Bochi anywhere. I guessed she had not returned from the party yet.
Going down to the apartment gate, a supercar stopped right in front of me. Stepping out was a guy with blonde hair.
That was Glow, he wore a suit even better-looking than mine. Glow showed an amused attitude towards me as wearing a suit suited me quite well.
"You look good, get in the car."
Sitting in the low-gasp supercar, Glow drove very fast.
"How is it? Is this speed good?"
I was excited and thrilled.
"Haha, good. Speed up."
Glow shifted the lever, the car accelerated and sped on the road.
"Very good."
"Meeting each other for the first time today, I will let you open your eyes, haha."
I hit the seat with excitement, pointing my finger forward.
"Quickly cut off that car ahead."
A moment later, our car was stopped for speeding. But Glow gave money to the police and successfully left.
Stopping the car at a large glass house, there were many supercars around. Glow and I stepped out of the car.
"Hey? Where did you buy this car? I want to buy one too."
Glow clapped his hand on my shoulder.
"Leave it for another day, coming here today to watch the auction is more fun. Making acquaintances with many people."
Walking into the door, I followed Glow. He took out an invitation card and handed it to a large security guard.
Stepping deeper inside, there were a lot of people here.
A man walked over to Glow and shook his hand.
"Hello Mr. Glow, still doing well?"
"Still doing well." Glow immediately shook hands.
Seeing the man looking over at Hugo. Glow immediately introduced.
"This is Hugo, my friend. His strength is also monstrous, haha."
I extended my hand to shake hands with this man.
"Hello."
"I am Wevpor...." The man handed out a business card.
I immediately took the business card.
"Nice to meet you."
Glow and I walked to our seats. Around us, there were many people wearing luxurious outfits, with a lot of expensive jewelry on their bodies.
Suddenly a girl sat down next to me, she had slightly curly black hair, wearing a short black dress, revealing her long white legs. Her shirt was unbuttoned, revealing a seductive cleavage and a jade necklace.
I immediately realized, next to most of the people here, there was one empty seat. In other words, the empty seat was for guests to bring along their relatives.
Truly, everyone here was rich and took good care of themselves. The girl sitting next to me was indeed very beautiful.
The large clock high above pointed to 11 o’clock. A bell rang, the stage lights in front went out.
Then a large spotlight shone towards the middle of the stage. A man wearing a suit and holding a microphone stood there.
"Warm greetings to our dear guests. Thank you everyone for not minding the long distance to come here."
"Today we will have the largest and most valuable amount of antiques ever."
The stage lights shone towards the large table. Two girls wearing sexy bunny outfits, fishnet stockings, bunny ears,... were extremely beautiful.
The two of them brought up a large ceramic vase with ancient patterns.
"To open today’s event. We will start with an extremely rare item, excavated at the corner of King Drez’s tomb 4000 years ago."
"It will have a starting price of 1,000 dollars."
Glow nudged his shoulder toward me, tilting his chin toward the stage.
"Any interest?"
I shook my head.
"No."
"But do you want any item here?"
Glow gave a thumb up.
"Yes, give me a hand later."
I had anticipated this, but was not too afraid. With an unlimited money black card, I could buy everything.
"Okay."
Around us, many people raised their placards with their seat numbers and shouted prices.
After reaching item number 3.
It was a gold sword with gemstones around it, emitting light.
"This is a gold sword from the ancient tomb of a village, suspected that someone buried treasure there in the past. It is 4000 years old."
"It has a 99% accuracy of the legendary sword-smith recorded in the books."
Glow immediately raised the placard.
"4,000 dollars."
The shouting of prices was extremely loud.
After a while, the price of the gold sword had reached 50,000 dollars.
"100,000 dollars." Some old man shouted loudly.
Glow clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"What a damn old man."
"200,000 dollars."
The price of the gold sword was pushed very high.
I did not know what use this sword had either. But right now it was already 700,000 dollars.
What the hell would someone bring that sword home for anyway?
Glow shouted a big price: "1,000,000 dollars."
But there was still someone behind shouting a bigger price.
Glow had a very annoyed expression, turning to me.
"Do you bring much money? Lend it to me."
I gave a thumb up.
"Don’t worry, enough for you to take this sword."
I took the seat number placard from Glow’s hand. Raising it high and shouting the price: "10,000,000 dollars."
Everyone went silent for a moment, jumping from 1,000,000 dollars to 10,000,000 dollars. Truly crazy.
The man holding the microphone shouted loudly and banged the gavel down on the table.
"Ohh, it is 10,000,000 dollars. Is anyone bidding higher?"
"10,000,000 dollars for the first time."
Glow’s two eyes also opened wide.
"You are playing too big, Hugo."
I gave a thumb up.
"I told you I would get it for you, then you will definitely have it. But what do you take it for?"
Glow punched my shoulder.
"Good one. I take this sword to give to my lover’s father, he has a habit of collecting precious swords."
No one bid higher. The sword was directly purchased.
Sitting and watching the auction, Glow suddenly saw a painting stitched from spider silk from a long time ago.
"Oh, that painting is so beautiful."
I stroked my chin, feeling that I should also please this guy.
"You find it beautiful?"
Glow nodded.
"Yes, truly beautiful."
I immediately raised the placard.
"20,000,000 dollars."
Glow’s two eyes opened wide in shock as he turned to me. He did not expect me to play that big, as well as having underestimated me.
"Are you crazy, Hugo? It is not that high."
I gave a thumb up again.
"Consider it that out of the group, only you invited me to the event. I will gift it to you."
Glow felt scared and hugged his body.
"Don’t tell me you like boys?"
I immediately punched Glow a few times on his head.
"Are you crazy? I am a real man."
Glow was joyful.
"Haha, then it’s good."
The girl next to us heard the whole conversation. She showed disdain because she thought I had just joined the wealthy circle and was showing off myself.
When reaching the end of the auction. An item made everyone open their eyes wide to look because it was very beautiful.
"Introducing the main item of today. The autumn leaf artwork of a former soldier commander when he was old."
"This artwork was made from the teeth of those whom that commander had defeated."
I looked at the artwork. It looked like an old ancient tree, sculpted extremely meticulously.
"The starting price is 1,000,000 dollars."
Quickly the price increased very high.
"Do you believe I will take it?" I turned to ask Glow.
Glow was also startled.
"Do you have enough money? It is very expensive. Surely someone will bid higher than you, wait and see."
Simply understood, the assets of businessmen are calculated based on the value of what he owns.
So even though Glow’s value was large. But the cash he currently had was certainly little.
The price was blown up to 500,000,000 dollars.
Everyone was stunned because a billionaire had shouted it out. Meanwhile, the previous price was just 100,000,000 dollars.
I smiled lightly, raising the placard.
"1 billion dollars."
The whole surroundings were confused, astonished, whispering, and silent. They only thought I was a kid proving himself here when raising the high price earlier. But actually had nothing.
And now they had to re-evaluate. This young person was truly rich, and extremely rich.
Most billionaires here had a net worth of about 10 billion or more. Taking out 1 billion dollars was exactly cutting their flesh. Surely I would win.
As for that billionaire, even though his assets were large. But he was not certain to spend more.
Glow held his head in shock.
"After all, what the hell do you do to be able to spend that much money?"
I smirked and did not answer.
The sound of the gavel rang for the first time.
"Too terrible, 1 billion dollars for the autumn leaf artwork."
"1 billion dollars for the first time."
No one bid more. The next sound of the gavel rang but still there was no one.
The third sound of the gavel. Still silence, after about 1 minute.
The man holding the microphone shouted loudly.
"The 1 billion dollar artwork will go to guest number 35. A crazy number."
I sat there, hundreds of eyes were looking at me with full of suspicion, fear, and confusion.
They did not know who I was, but I possessed such strong strength. 1 billion dollars had made all the billionaires here go silent.
Not knowing who I was, they would not be able to know whether I was targeting them or not. That was exactly the most fearful point when not knowing information about dangerous guys.
The girl next to me seemed also very surprised, but her attitude was quite calm.
Glow looked around, seeing many such eyes also felt scared.
"You are the center of attention now, Hugo. Everyone is looking at you."
I smiled confidently.
"I know."
