Chapter 860
Spoiled by the President
The four of them stood in the hall talking for a while longer before the second half of the auction started. That was when they entered the arena again.
After everyone had sat down, they announced the start of the auction.
The items in the second half of the auction were naturally much more precious and valuable than those in the first half.
There were paintings by ancient masters, imperial jade seals that had been lost for thousands of years, and scepters used by European royalty.
In short, there was an endless stream of all kinds of rare and exotic treasures.
Perhaps because it was almost time for the last and most valuable treasure, at this time, everyone became much more cautious.
All of them no longer focused their attention on the previous items. They just held their breaths and quietly waited for the last treasure to appear.
Massimo, of course, had also heard about this last treasure and had a rough feeling that Vickie and Gregory also had the same opinion as himself, so he even mocked it.
He turned back to Quincy and said, "I think all that about people rising from the dead and immortality is a lie. If people were to really live forever, wonât that make them old monsters?"
Quincy looked at him with a smile and said, âIf being a monster makes you immortal, it doesn't matter. The point is to not be old, don't you want that?"
The smile on Massimo's face stiffened.
Immediately after, he shook his head repeatedly.
"I don't want to."
Quincy revealed a look of disbelief.
Massimo looked very resolute and said, "After all, thereâs only one piece of this treasure and it can only guarantee one person immortality. What's the point if Iâm the only one who can use it when everyone I know in this world is dead and I'm the only one left alive? The most important thing is...â
He paused and suddenly, in an incomparably serious and earnest tone, he said, "Without you, even if you give me another 10,000 years, I won't want to live."
Quincy was stunned.
It was as if her entire body was frozen.
She looked at him and neither of them spoke. Even though they were in such a dim environment, it was as if they could see a thousand words in each other's eyes.
Finally, she looked a little uncomfortable, then turned away and said, "Okay, thatâs enough."
If he said anymore, she was about to be moved and agree to date him.
Massimo did not know what she was thinking. He only thought that what he had just said was too sudden and straightforward to her, so he even whispered, "I'm sorry."
After a pause, he eventually did not give up and added, "But I really mean it."
Then, there was only silence and he no longer spoke.
Quincy did not say anything more either.
At this time, the previous bidding was nearly finished.
Finally, it was time for the last item which was much awaited by everyone, the Arcane Jade, to appear.
Vickie could feel that ever since the host started to introduce this last item, the crowd seemed to have suddenly become quiet. The atmosphere was so hushed that even a pin dropped on the ground could be heard.
Almost everyone was holding their breath while they waited for it to appear.
Finally, after the host finished his brief preliminaries, she announced the item.
"Please welcome our last item, the Arcane Jade, which is regarded as a rare treasure that can bring the dead back to life, to the stage!"
As the hostâs voice faded, the curtain on the side of the stage was pulled aside and two heavily armed staff members pushed a glass display cabinet up to the stage.
The glass display cabinet was 1.5 m tall, but the height was just nice for the seated audience to view.
In the middle of the glass display cabinet was a beautiful jade piece.
The jade was white, with a translucent crystal-like appearance. It was rectangle-shaped with a slight curvature and its thickness was only about 3 to 4 mm.
It was a small piece that was laid in the center, but it caught everyoneâs full attention.
The host began to introduce its origin and effects, but Vickie and Gregory immediately recognized that the piece of jade was the one that had caused the war between the Dragon Regiment and the Vermillion Bird Organization.
She would not have mistaken it!
That was because, in the beginning, the two organizations went to battle due to this small piece of jade, and in the end, the situation went out of control.
Vickie's eyes deepened and Gregory's face sank. Both of them then held up their numbers in unison.
"80 million!"
This bid was already the highest price of the night.
Even so, as soon as the bid was made, someone immediately followed suit and raised the price.
"85 million!"
"90 million!"
"95 million!"
Due to regulations, this treasure was very rare, and because of its unique effects, it was a treasure that almost everyone wanted to have.
Thus, the price increase was also relatively high, at least $5 million at every interval.
It was certainly not a low figure. It was considered a lot in a normal family, not to mention ordinary people, even for a wealthier family.
However, it was nothing in the eyes of these people present.
Thus, the bidding got even more intense.
Since Vickie and Gregory had placed their bids once in the beginning, they did not continue afterward.
Massimo was able to see that they wanted this treasure very much and was a little anxious when he saw that they did not continue bidding.
He even encouraged them from the side and said, "Why aren't you guys bidding? These old guys are so cold-hearted and ruthless. What if they really got it?"
The two of them just ignored him and looked pensive while they stared at the stage. At that time, the price had been increased to over $300 million, and at that price, many had already started to back out.
After all, the rumors were that it could bring back the dead.
Nevertheless, most of the people present were smart, so how could they not know that immortality and rising from the dead were just a figment of one's imagination?
In reality, the cells in the human body would gradually age as people got older, so how could it be true for humans to become immortal?
At first, everyone wanted to try and take a gamble at owning this treasure.
However, as the price kept increasing to even $500 million, many began to back off.
After all, it was fine to gamble for a precious treasure.
If the stakes were too high and the item was not that effective, then spending $500 million on a piece of jade was somewhat of a joke.
In the end, the price had reached 800 million and there were only two people left that were bidding.
One was Mr. Clinton, who had come to greet Gregory before, and the other was a blonde-haired blue-eyed foreigner.
Massimo was so anxious when he saw that Gregory and Vickie still had not made a move.
He was afraid that it would end up in the hands of Mr. Clinton and would then give the other party the satisfaction to boast in front of him again, so he said urgently, "Gregory, are you short of money? If you donât have enough, just tell me and I'll lend it to you. You can have as much as you want! Just f*cking take this baby down!"
Gregory just looked at him as if he was caring for a special needs person.
Massimo was dumbstruck.
Eventually, Quincy tugged on Massimoâs sleeve and said, "These two are still fighting. What's the hurry? When they've fought it out, Young Master Graham will naturally take action."
