Chapter 1540 - Competing with Shark Crown Prince
Meanwhile, in chamber number five, a glint of ambition sparked in Shark Crown Prince’s fierce eyes. With a flip of his palm, a palm-sized remnant map also appeared in his hand.
“Indeed, they’re parts of a whole!”
After comparing the two, his eyes shone brightly as he looked at the remnant map below, determined to obtain it at all costs.
“With these two pieces... perhaps I can finally deduce the treasure’s secrets!"
As Fairy Yao gave her introduction, the auction hall buzzed with eager chatter. Remnant treasure maps appearing at auctions weren’t rare. What was rare was actually collecting all the fragments and uncovering the treasure.
Someone asked, “Fairy Yao, is there only one map piece?”
Fairy Yao smiled and replied, “If we had more, would we have put it up for auction?”
Her immediate response drew a wave of laughter from the crowd.
Everyone understood that if you owned several map fragments, you could cross-reference and possibly even pinpoint the hidden hoard’s location. Who on earth would auction them off instead of seizing the chance for themselves?
Suddenly, Shark Crown Prince’s voice boomed as he said, "Enough chit-chat, Fairy Yao! Time to get serious. Let’s start the bidding!"
Though his bluntness irked many, none dared challenge him openly. Only figures like Young Master Hai Long or Qi Dong possessed the strength and stature to oppose Shark Crown Prince; for most, crossing him meant courting disaster.
Fairy Yao smiled and announced the base price, “Sure. The bid will start at 10 thousand immortal stones!”
