Chapter 324: We Accept Defeat
Everything went exactly as Daniel had predicted. After they placed a bid of nine Chaos Crystals, the hall fell silent for a moment.
Even the other participants didn’t dare say a word. They were just waiting to see whether Mr. Goat or Lady Phoenix would respond.
But none of them had high hopes — the current bid was 9 Chaos Crystals! That amount was already far beyond their reach, something they wouldn’t even dare to imagine having in their dreams.
"If no new bids are made in the next three seconds, Lady Rabbit will be the winner," the auctioneer on the stage said with a smile.
They had hoped to sell this weapon for 7 or 8 Chaos Crystals at best, but now their profit had already reached 9 — a massive success.
Everyone in the audience started counting in their heads, but before they could reach three, a voice came from one of the VIP rooms.
"10 Chaos Crystals."
Everyone held their breath again. That voice was familiar — it was Mr. Goat! He had bid again!
And it wasn’t just any bid. He had raised the amount by a whole Chaos Crystal — that alone caused a buzz to go through the crowd.
Keep in mind: everyone present was one of the wealthiest and most well-known people on the continent, and yet most of them couldn’t even afford a single Chaos Crystal.
It’s not like they didn’t own any at all, but Chaos Crystals were crucial for cultivation and breaking through to the next level.
If they used up even the few Crystals they had, they’d lose their only shot at advancing — no one was willing to take such a risk.
