Chapter 223: Chapter 223: The Show-stopping Little Tomato?_1

The atmosphere in the hall seemed to have solidified, becoming deathly still; even the sound of breathing in the air could be heard.

The crowd in the hall stretched their necks in curiosity to see the crystal box in Wang Fangtong’s hands. Guests in the back rows, unable to see, excitedly stood up.

Even the ten private rooms upstairs were filled with a sense of gravity.

Xu Fan, at this moment, also sensed something about the contents of the box. His gaze sharpened, his eyes fixed on the screen like a hawk eyeing a rabbit on the prairie.

In the other private rooms, Qin Haowen in Room 2 had pressed his face against the room’s screen, his expression full of greed, staring unblinkingly at Elder Wang’s hand as he slowly lifted the Shu Brocade.

“Dammit, the final treasure has finally come. This time, I, Qin Haowen, must get my hands on this treasure. Then, the Qin Family will skyrocket to wealth!” Qin Haowen boasted.

Next door, in Room 3, sat a young man and woman, both striking in appearance. The man had a noble look between his handsome features, whereas the woman was even more beautiful.

She was around 1.68 meters tall, slim, but with curves in all the right places. She wore a SpongeBob T-shirt that perfectly accentuated her figure, and under her white shorts, a pair of legs as straight as pencils, nearly irresistible at a glance.

She had her hair tied in a fresh ponytail, which gave her a youthful and vibrant look, her features bearing a resemblance to the man beside her.

“Brother, our target is finally about to appear; I’m so excited,” the girl said as she patted her ample chest, her voice conveying her excitement to the man beside her.

“There’s no shortage of tycoons here today, looks like there will be a fierce competition,” the man mused, not as excited as the girl, but rather with a worried frown.

“Hehe, yes, we should focus all our efforts on winning this treasure first!”

In the other private rooms, everyone also showed great interest in the final highlight of the auction.

Now, almost all eyes in the hall were focused on what Wang Fangtong held in her hands on the stage.

Wang Fangtong did not disappoint, and slowly lifted the Shu Brocade from atop the crystal box.

After the Shu Brocade was lifted, the object inside the crystal box finally came into view for everyone.

A small, fiery red fruit lay quietly within the crystal box, seemingly emanating a rainbow-colored glow. It was unclear if the light was a result of the lighting or if it was the fruit itself emitting the radiance.

The audience in the hall showed a hint of disappointment upon seeing the object inside the crystal box.

“What is this, a little tomato?”

“Isn’t today’s auction for antiques? Why are they auctioning off fruit now?”

“Does this little tomato have something special that sets it apart from ordinary ones? Why do I see a rainbow-colored glow around this little tomato? Could it be that I’ve developed farsightedness, or am I hallucinating?”

“Damn it, I see the rainbow glow too. Am I hallucinating as well?”

“That can’t be right, it must be the lighting!”

“Bullshit, I’m a professional lighting technician, and I can tell. This effect is definitely not caused by the lighting; it’s the little tomato itself that’s emitting the glow!”
