Chapter 460 - 0462: Beyond Measure
To confirm his speculation, he decided to win the auction for the wooden fish.
Chu Ge bid three hundred thousand, and after waiting for a long while without anyone following up, the auctioneer turned back to look at the person in charge with an inquiring look as to whether to finalize the price. This three hundred thousand was historically low for their auction house, breaking records even. She wondered what the leader was thinking, bringing a wooden fish to auction.
The person in charge nodded at the auctioneer, signaling her to quickly move on to the next item.
The auctioneer received the order, picked up the microphone, and was just about to finalize the bid, when suddenly a voice with awkward Chinese shouted, "Four hundred thousand!"
One could tell immediately that the person was a foreigner. Among those present, the only foreigners were the Japanese sitting in Box No. 3, and the voice had come from there.
Everyone at the venue was shocked; someone was actually willing to compete for this inconspicuous wooden fish!
Seeing that someone followed up, the auctioneer was naturally overjoyed. She quickly grabbed the microphone and asked the audience, "Someone has bid four hundred thousand, is there anyone willing to follow up with a higher bid?"
Inside Box No.3, Yamamoto Buki was somewhat puzzled and asked, "It’s just an ordinary wooden fish, why are you following up with a bid?"
"This is an order from above."
"What bullshit order? Our main purpose this time is for that secret manual. Four hundred thousand might be a small sum, but how can you waste it competing with that kid at this critical moment, big brother?"
