The merchant now wished he could slap himself twice. Why did he show up at this spot for nothing?
Now he could only pin his hopes on the young man, âKid, arenât you going to increase the bid? Just one cent more, and the stars and the sea will be all yours!â
The young man didnât speak, bowing his head and focusing on his math problems.
The auctioneer continues: âOne million one hundred and three thousand â¦â
Before the auctioneer even finished speaking, he was once again aggressively interrupted by the merchant who was now breaking out in a cold sweat.
It is said that a wealthy owner of the Diamond of Misfortune spent his fortunes dry, while he himself was bitten to death by wild dogs in the wilderness!
It is said that a publisher, another unfortunate owner of the Diamond, lost his eight-year-old son in a car accident, started drinking heavily, eventually lost his health and his publishing business. Then, his daughter died of an overdose of sleeping pills and his granddaughter died of alcohol and drug poisoning!
It is said that a merchant, who once owned the Diamond, drowned with his whole family!
It is said that another owner of the Diamond fatally fell off a cliff together with his entire family in a car accidentâ¦
The more he thought about it, the more the merchant sweated. He almost foresaw that if the diamond was sold to him, he and his entire family would meet with a tragic fate. How could he possibly want such an item?
âMiss Carp, I offer you one million two hundred thousand, can you raise the bid once more?â
Ye Xingguang shook her head.
âIâll offer you two million, just raise the bid one more time, please. I believe as the Carp Girl, you must be incredibly lucky and can become the end of this misfortune, ushering in a new era of stars and sea. But I am definitely not destined for this, and if you bid on it, you would be saving my whole family.â
Ye Xingguang raised an eyebrow: âWhy should I save your family? I am not the Virgin Mary?â
The wealthy merchant: âIâll give you three million, will you raise the bid again?â
Ye Xingguang: âIâll think about it.â
But after contemplating it, she shook her head.
From the expression on Ye Xingguangâs face, it looked like there was still room for negotiation. The merchant, hoping against hope, said: âMiss Ye, how much would make you raise the bid, just name your price. As long as you speak, I promise I wonât even blink, Iâll definitely make it happen.â
Light sparked in the depths of Ye Xingguangâs eyes: âI want the Light of Good Fortune. If you can win that for me, Iâll raise the bidding.â@@novelbin@@
At this statement, Xia Yanyan, who had been watching the drama unfold, narrowed her haughty eyes. What a sneaky little White Lotus! Going in circles, she was actually vying for the Light of Good Fortune with her!
The merchant looked stunned for a moment before nodding with no hesitation, âFine, Iâll win the Light of Good Fortune for you!â
Compared to a family massacre about to happen, whatâs the Light of Good Fortune?
Ye Xingguang raised an eyebrow, âJust saying it doesnât make it true. How can I trust that you wonât go back on your word?â
The merchant thumped his chest saying, âI, Su Maochang have been in business all my life, always delivering on my promises. I promise you that if I pledged to win the Light of Good Fortune for you, I would do it even if it means losing everything I own. Everyone here can be my witnesses. If I canât keep my words today, may my mansion crumble! If anyone here would like to witness this, I would appreciate your support.â
âBrother Su, Iâll be your witness.â Someone who knew Su Maochang spoke.
âSaving a life is greater than building a seven-tiered pagoda; Iâll also be your witness.â
âCount me in.â
âAnd me.â
