Chapter 984: The Misfortune Pearl
One question still lingered in his mind: just how much money did the Blue Gold Tree clan actually have? They had already spent so much earlier, yet still had the capacity to offer ninety thousand this time? To dare participate in the bidding meant that he definitely had the funds. No one would dare bluff with all the Emperors watching. Not even a city lord could afford such a scandal.
"Ninety-one thousand amethystine coins, going once." Perhaps sensing Xu An'yu was about to lose it, the Celestial Fox Demon Emperor quickly began the final countdown.
At that moment, in VIP Room Three, the leaders of the phoenix race exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat odd. Naturally, they knew how crucial the Light Sprite was to the dragon race and had no intention of letting Xu An'yu win her so easily. In fact, they had been prepared to intervene the moment bidding began, even if only to interfere.
But they quickly realized they couldn't even participate.
They had already secured quite a few valuable items earlier in the auction, and the entire phoenix race's reserves amounted to just 90,000 amethystine coins. In other words, Xu An'yu's final bid already exceeded all they had left. Of course, they also believed that after this purchase, the dragons would have no strength left to compete for the final three auction items.
To think they'd spend 91,000 for this... That was a number they had never even dared imagine. Yet the Blue Gold Tree clan had forced it out! Their goodwill toward the Blue Gold Tree clan increased significantly—provided, of course, that the latter didn't try to compete with them for the following items.
"Ninety-one thousand amethystine coins, going twice!"
"Ninety-one thousand amethystine coins, going thrice... sold! Congratulations to VIP Room Ten!"
Only when the gavel fell did Xu An'yu finally relax, letting out a long breath as he collapsed back into his seat. His chest heaved visibly, and the red in his eyes gradually faded.
"Big Brother, once this auction ends, let me kill that bastard," the Fire Dragon King snarled.
