Still, at the moment Eric's attention wasn't on the great fortune that he was making tonight, but on the situation outside at the Auction.
"Is there some problem between the Mu and Long Families!?"
At the start, both current Masters of the Long and Mu Families were best friends, and there was great cooperation between the two big families.
Even if they didn't publicly declare their selves as the rulers of the capital no one dared to actually go against them.
It became a great love triangle, as both of them started vying and courting her to the best of their abilities, even making an agreement to accept their loss.
That was the spark that caused the rift between the two families, and even today they are great enemies to each other, despite not destroying appearances towards one another!"
"I don't think that there will be much excitement brother-in-law, this bid is over!"
"Well, after that night, the Long Family has always lowered their head and accepted defeat in front of the Mu Family!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter the second there was the turn of the third, which was a new rivalry between the Long and Mu Families, as the Mu Family took the third bottle for another 250 million dollars.
The Long, Ling, and Cui Families had yet to get their hands on a bottle of these pills, but the situation was even weirder as there was no representative for the Cui Family.
To think that the Cui Family Head would actually lose such a great opportunity for his family, just due to his selfish and personal reasons.
As for the reason why Cui Xie wasn't getting in the bid, they all thought that he didn't have the necessary funds and backup.
For that reason, it looked like the two last bottles of pills would go for the Long and Ling Families, the biggest question was for how much.
At this point in time, just as the hostess was about to announce the winner from a 2nd rate family, the Cao Family Master finally made his move,
As the Master of one of the big families of the capital, no one doubted his funds, so they all thought that this fourth bottle was going to him as well.
Knowing that the Cao Family wouldn't allow him to take this bottle of pills cheaply due to what happened earlier, the Ling Family Master was thinking of using one of his affiliated families to buy the bottle for him.
With this, he wouldn't be able to depend on the 2nd rate family anymore, as they didn't have the balls to actually face the Cao Family.
With those thoughts in mind, he couldn't help but type his bid!
"Hehe~! You finally couldn't bear it any longer could you!? Damn bastard!"
'201 million dollars!'
'301 million dollars!'
'401 million dollars!'
"One! Two! Three! Congratulations to the Cao Family for buying the fourth bottle of pills!"
"Master Cao is a truly resourceful and rich man, fully stunning this brother! Congratulations Master Cao!"
He had just wasted 1 billion dollars on some pills that would help a few of his people get better achievements in strength in a short time.
The only thing that could make him happy at this moment, was the fact that he hadn't allowed the Ling Family to grab any bottle until now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs he was thinking like that, the fifth bottle's auction started, and he was fully concentrated on the Ling Family.
Surprising the one that entered the race this time wasn't the Cao Family, but the Mu Family, who made a bid of 200 million dollars.
The Mu Family Master even went as far as to thank all the other families for their magnanimity and graciousness, and especially the Long Family.
Still, this marked the end of the Auction for this time, and people could finally leave the premises.
Of course, before these guys could even stand up from their spot, the Ling Family Master asked a question that made everyone open their ears quickly.
"I am afraid that we are unable to provide you with this information everyone! We can only relay to you the person who acted as the middleman for us.
The whole venue immediately turned their faces and attention towards the direction of the best VIP room, as they were wishing they had x-ray vision to see what was going on.
Even though it was a bit overwhelming and shocking, the crowd all lined up in front of the VIP room and knocked on it. New chapters are published on novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt
