But Ashley seemed to really like this necklace.
And Ferris, being wealthy and not wanting others to compete with Ashley, directly offered eight million.
Everyone was shocked by Ferris treating money like dirt and his indulgence of Ashley, and began discussing among themselves.
Sure enough.
Once the eight million bid was out, no one else bid.
Ashley successfully acquired the necklace.
Cynthia was extremely envious, gritting her teeth: “Why her!”
Before I could respond, a new round of bidding began.
After some time, the auction reached its middle phase and displayed a blood moon incense burner.
That was exactly the auction item I wanted!
This incense burner was crafted from ten–thousand–year–old black rock and blood vine, with naturally formed patterns–there was no second piece like it on the narket.
When special spiritual incense was lit in it, it could ward off nightmares and calm souls, bringing great benefits to elderly werewolves.
Ashley raised her paddle again.
he incense burner’s starting price was five million.
omeone quickly bid: “Six million.”
raised my paddle: “Seven million.”
it first, Ashley really hadn’t noticed me.
ince my voice rang out, Ashley recognized it.
he turned around and our eyes met.
shley’s face showed no particular expression. She quickly turned back around proudly and raised her paddle: “Ten million.”
learing this, my heart immediately sank.
shley had recognized my voice–I didn’t believe Ferris hadn’t recognized it too.
ut he didn’t turn around.
ynthia directly cursed: “Damn! She’s competing again!”
it this moment, a male voice interrupted: “Fifteen million.”
looked toward the sound..
I was a very young man with exceptionally handsome features.
That’s Blaze Montclair, Alpha of the Blood Shadow Pack.”
ynthia told me.
1 nodded.
Ashley seemed to hesitate, looking toward Ferris.
It was then that I suddenly remembered her grandmother also had a passion for collecting these auction items.
Ferris nodded, and Ashley raised her paddle again: “Eighteen million.”
Blaze smiled: “Twenty million.”
Ashley hesitated more, leaning toward Ferris, seemingly telling him she didn’t want it anymore.
But Ferris shook his head, telling her to continue bidding. He even turned around and gave me a brief, indifferent glance.
My heart kept sinking.
Ferris was doing this on purpose–he wanted to retaliate against my recent “rebellion.”
really didn’t have much money on hand. For this auction, my initial budget was within thirty million.
Ashley raised her paddle again: “Twenty–three million.”
Blaze’s voice rang out again: “Twenty–five million.”
After speaking, he loudly said to Ferris: “Alpha Ferris, the elders at home love this kind of thing. Could you back off?”
erris looked over with a polite smile: “Sorry, I also have an elder at home who likes it.”
heir conversation didn’t avoid others.
ynthia and I naturally heard it too.
he vase was being bought for Ashley’s family member, yet Ferris referred to them as his own family’s elder, showing he already considered her family as his
- WN.
his was truly worlds apart from his attitude toward my family.
Blaze: “Twenty–eight million.”
raised my paddle: “Thirty million.”
had spoken twice in succession after him, and my voice was clear, gentle, and very pleasant to hear.
learing this, Blaze looked over.
When he saw me, he was stunned for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and smiled.
seeing him look over, I nodded politely in response.
ust then, Ashley continued to raise her paddle: “Forty million.”
I had no mind to pay attention to Blaze anymore. Hearing this, my hands clenched into fists.
At this moment, Blaze spoke again: “Forty–three million.”
I quickly followed: “Forty–five million.”
Ashley: “Fifty million.”
Thunder!
My mind exploded all at once.
