The auction had been underway for over ten minutes when another national-treasure-level artifact appeared. It was, however, not the final one of the three Chinese national treasures. Consequently, Chen Xuan did not participate in the bidding.
This time, an unusually large number of people raised their hands to bid. The ordinary buyers, who had previously shown restraint, suddenly disregarded Mr. House’s massive wealth and began bidding directly against him. This caused Mr. House’s expression in the diamond box to darken. He knew that many of those bidding against him could not actually afford the item; they were simply engaging in malicious bidding. The mastermind behind all of this was, naturally, that Mr. Chen in the box opposite him.
The host, however, would not allow such rampant malicious bidding. He might have tolerated Chen Xuan—given his status as a top-ten member of the Dark Ranking and the specific instructions from Lord Heifa to hold off on settling scores with him—but who did the rest of the buyers think they were? How dare they oppose the organizers?
