Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Qin Shao Provokes Public Anger_1

The people in the hall recognized Qin Haowen, the young master of the Qin Family, but they simply lacked the strength to compete for the Blood Bodhi. Even if they weren’t trying to give face to the Qin Family, they had no means to join in the bidding.

As for those in the other private rooms, although they were aware of the Qin Family, the scale of their own powers was not smaller than that of the Qin Family’s, and they were not to the point of having to watch the Qin Family’s expressions.

Even though Qin Haowen openly revealed his identity at the auction in an aggressive manner, it had a very limited effect.

In private room number 3, the sister of the handsome brother and beautiful sister duo frowned prettily and said dismissively, “Tch, what’s so great about the Qin Family? Just a good-for-nothing young master. He really thinks his Qin Family can cover the sky with one hand in Zhonghai City. I, Miss Gu Xiaorui, will certainly not give him that face!”

After speaking, Gu Xiaorui pressed the bidding button and entered a price of 210 million, pressing down to submit it.

Elder Wang on the stage was originally made somewhat embarrassed by Qin Haowen’s arrogant behavior.

The auction was supposed to go to the highest bidder. Qin Haowen’s actions were a slight to Elder Wang Fangtong. Even though the Qin Family was indeed a wealthy family in Zhonghai City, they were far from being in a position where their word was law in Zhonghai City. Even if the Family Head of the Qin Family had come today, he would have to respectfully give face to Wang Fangtong. Yet this foolish Qin Haowen had such an outburst, clearly intended to cause trouble for Wang Fangtong.

Regrettably, Wang Fangtong did not need to get angry himself, for someone else had already relieved the siege for him. Although nearly no one in the hall raised the price, private room number 3, upon hearing Qin Haowen’s words, still increased their bid, unfazed. Clearly, the people in private room number 3 couldn’t care less about Qin Haowen.

At this moment, Elder Wang also smiled slightly and said into the microphone, “Private room number 3 has made a bid of 210 million. Is there any other boss willing to offer a higher price?”

Upon hearing the bid from private room number 3, the color of Qin Haowen’s face in private room number 2 immediately turned as red as a pig’s liver.

Elder Wang frowned upon seeing private room number 2 continue with their bid, thinking to himself that the Qin Family seemed set on obtaining the Blood Bodhi. He wondered if there were any other forces still interested in it.

Deep down, he was rather disgusted with Qin Haowen, this incompetent young master. His recent behavior had even more so caused dissatisfaction in Wang Fangtong, who was reluctant to let this once-in-a-millennium sacred medicine fall into the hands of a family he disliked.

As if answering the call in Wang Fangtong’s heart, before he even announced the price, the bid from Xu Fan came directly from private room number 8.

Private room number 8 has bid 250 million!

A glimmer of joy passed through Wang Fangtong’s eyes; Xu Fan had finally made his move, and with a hefty increase to 250 million.

Elder Wang also felt an increased fondness for Xu Fan. Now, he just hoped that the sacred medicine would be purchased by Xu Fan.

Xu Fan, within his private room, smiled slightly. He had witnessed Qin Haowen’s idiotic display and had simply ignored it. If this had occurred back in the Cultivation World, even Xu Fan, who had once reigned as the Five Directions Great Emperor across a million Heaven Domains, would still respectfully bid according to auction rules.

Regardless of what happened outside the auction house, where theft and robbery could occur, at least the rules would be upheld during the auction itself.

Qin Haowen’s lack of decorum would not only prevent the Qin Family from securing the item, but it would also anger those neutral powers that despised those who flaunt their power and bully others.

Sure enough, after hearing Xu Fan’s bid, Qin Haowen hurriedly raised the price to 260 million. However, as soon as he did, private room number 7 continued the bidding, raising the price to 270 million, seemingly just to antagonize him.

“Dammit! Are all the people at this auction complete idiots?!” Qin Haowen angrily smashed his wine glass, infuriated by the deliberate price bumps that nearly sent him into a rage.
