In fact, Vivian Li was just bluffing by increasing the starting bid, hoping to intimidate those behind her into giving up!
But the budget her company gave her was only ten billion…
“Miss Li, truly a financial powerhouse!”
Frank Carter said mockingly, “Anyone else bidding?”
The room fell silent!
And Vivian Li’s heart instantly rose to her throat!
Not nervous?
How could that be possible!
But sometimes, what you fear the most is exactly what happens!
Jessica Wright was the first to break the silence: “Six billion!”
The crowd was stunned when someone bid again!
Was someone really willing to risk everything for a single stalk of Spirit Gathering Grass?
But they were wrong, several billion in funds were nothing to the Li family or the Wright Company.
The key was whether the Spirit Gathering Grass was truly worth that price!
Vivian Li wanted it simply to improve her strength, but Jessica Wright wanted it for that man!
As for Oliver Walker wanting it, to say there was no personal motive would be false, but mostly it was because the pyramid was lacking a world-renowned powerhouse!
This led to such a passive position internationally, and to break out of this passive situation, his strength had to return to its peak state!
“Eight billion!”
Vivian Li’s hand was visibly trembling, and her voice deepened considerably.
However, without any hesitation, Jessica Wright immediately followed suit: “Nine billion!”
Vivian Li’s expression turned frosty, she did not continue to bid but instead glared furiously, “Jessica, are you deliberately opposing me?”
“I’ve said it, I must have this Spirit Gathering Grass!”
The conflict unfolded!
In reality, both women were not just representatives of their respective companies but also their respective nations.
Moreover, with the longstanding grudges between the Eastern Alliance and the Cosmic Nation, the relationship between the two could never be good. Whenever they clashed, it was like gunpowder igniting!
“Since it’s an auction, naturally the highest bidder wins!”
Jessica Wright said coldly, without any courtesy in her retort: “Since Miss Li must have it, then please make a bid!”
For her senior brother, she was willing to splurge once.
Even though she was a woman and unlikely to become the next successor of the Wright Company.
But her talent and powerful strength were something the Wright Company would not give up for just a dozen billion.
She understood her importance to the company all too well!
“You…”
Vivian Li, who had been at a disadvantage from the start, finally lost her composure: “Ten billion!”
She couldn’t swallow this pride!
She had to shout it out!
“Eleven billion!”
Jessica Wright didn’t even deign to look directly at Vivian Li, her bid was resolute!
As her words fell…
Vivian Li’s face had turned a purple hue!
In her eyes, there was an intensity as sharp as a blade, staring dead at the calm Jessica Wright like ancient deep waters!
Not wanting to lose face, but the company had only given her the authority for ten billion!
Once it exceeded that amount, the old-timers at the company would surely use this as leverage to impeach her from being the next successor!
So…
She was in a quandary!
“Oh my God!”
“Eleven billion!”
“Is their money not real money?”
“Such short-sightedness; the Wright Company and the Li family make more than this in a day!”
“It’s strange, the Martial God hasn’t made a bid!”
“Could it be that our pyramid’s treasure will be taken by a foreign woman?”
Indeed!
Oliver Walker had not made a bid!
Perhaps he was in the same situation as them, constrained by limited funds?
But at this price, it was indeed beyond what average people could fathom!
Therefore, even if they desired it, they could only give up reluctantly!
After all, to bid, one has to consider whether their own reserves are strong enough!
