Even Dong Dedo on the stage couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy. The arguments below—including the squabble between the Wolf and Deer families—were of no concern to him. While these families were powerful and had their own ways, the Spirit Crane Chamber of Commerce had expanded far beyond the Luotian Mountains, and they dared not offend it. As the auction organizer and the master of ceremonies, Dong Dedo was naturally delighted by higher bids; the higher the price, the larger his commission. As the auctioneer, he received a cut from every single item sold.
Hearing the bid, Lu Mingze burst into loud laughter. "Hahahaha, Wolf Xianfeng, even if I don't participate, I don't think you're going to get this Green Lotus True Fire."
Wolf Xianfeng’s face had turned as dark as the bottom of an iron pot, and his fangs were involuntarily bared. Many in the hall were scanning the private boxes, trying to identify the source of the bid. Twenty-five million spirit stones was no small sum. However, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the private boxes offered a one-way view; those outside could not see inside. Every box was shielded by a formation that not only prevented prying eyes but could also erect a defensive barrier, capable of holding off an attack for at least a few moments until experts from the Spirit Crane Chamber of Commerce arrived.
