Rustling~
The audience was once again shocked. Four billion US dollars, this price set a new record for the highest price in auction history. Everyone couldn't help but draw a breath of cold air!
The crowd's eyes swept across the entire auction, eager to find out who offered such a high price. After all, four billion US dollars are worth more than two hundred million Huaxia currency, and only a few people in Huaxia could afford that amount of money!
"Four point one billion US dollars..."
At this mont, another loud shout rang out!
The price was once again raised by one billion, and the bidder seed to be from that VIP room with Su Yanyu's voice!
At this mont, the entire auction fell into dead silence. Everyone was afraid to even breathe loudly, as if worried about disrupting the mont when a miracle was about to happen!
"Four point two billion!"
The elder with the aged voice made another bid!
Lin Fan's face also showed a hint of surprise. That's over two hundred billion Huaxia currency, and the sheepskin scroll isn't useful to everyone. Many wealthy individuals wouldn't even bid such a high price!
"It seems Huaxia indeed has quite a few hidden noble families!"
Instead of panicking, Lin Fan's mouth curled up in an amused arc.
Huaxia, with its thousands of years of heritage, certainly hides many powerful factions. They just rarely show themselves. Much like Lin Fan's own sect, even he didn't know how much wealth they had. He only heard the old man ntion once that their sect had a massive vault!
The hidden sects are the most terrifying!
And with Lin Fan's keen hearing, he could clearly tell the aged voice was coming from the VIP room of the masked woman and the gray-robed elder who piqued his curiosity earlier!
"I wonder which sect they belong to!" Lin Fan mused.
"Four point five billion US dollars..."
Just when people thought the price had reached its peak, it suddenly jumped up by three billion!
Swish~
Lin Fan's eyes flashed, and he imdiately looked towards the source of the sound, seeing that the bidders were the three foreigners who had constantly caught his attention!
These three foreigners didn't have a VIP room, just sat in the ordinary seats below. Logically, most people here shouldn't have much power, but the sudden bid from these three foreigners startled everyone, instantly attracting the attention of all!
"It seems that everyone who can attend this auction cannot be underestimated!" Lin Fan lightly chuckled.
"Four point six billion US dollars..."
"Four point seven billion US dollars..."
"Four point nine five billion US dollars..."
"Five billion US dollars..."
In an instant, the three foreigners and the gray-robed elder engaged in an intense bidding war until the gray-robed elder called out "five billion US dollars," plunging the room into deathly silence, where a pin drop could be heard!
The female auctioneer on stage almost fainted, having her values and beliefs shattered repeatedly today.
"Five... five billion US dollars, is there... is there anyone who wants to offer a higher price?" The female auctioneer completely lost her composure, asking shakily.
Unfortunately, silence pervaded below...
"Since there's none, I will begin the countdown, five billion US dollars once, five billion US dollars twice, five billion US dollars thrice, sold! Congratulations to the guest in VIP room nine for acquiring this mysterious sheepskin scroll!"
The female auctioneer didn't hesitate, bringing down the gavel with a loud smile.
Whew whew whew~
And with these words, the entire audience let out a collective exhale, as the previous intense bidding had finally begun to ease their tense nerves!
Crunch~
At that mont, a sharp sound suddenly reached Lin Fan's ears. He hurried to look out the window and saw the masked woman and the gray-robed elder being the first to open their room door and walk out.
Shortly after, many billionaires also stood up. Among them, a few individuals who had attracted Lin Fan's attention left with a cold gleam in their eyes, fixating on the backs of the masked woman and the gray-robed elder.
"It seems many people want to use robbery to obtain the sheepskin scroll!"
Lin Fan thought for a mont and, after sitting for a while with Bai Weiwei and Lin Qianxiao in the VIP room until most of the crowd had dispersed, then got up together and left the VIP room!
As soon as Lin Fan walked out of the auction house, he saw the masked woman and the gray-robed elder getting into a car and leaving the place. Following closely, several cars started up, cautiously trailing behind!
"It seems many people are planning to rob them, Lin Fan, what should we do?" Bai Weiwei asked Lin Fan nervously.
"What are you afraid of? The real drama is just about to start!"
Lin Fan replied with a nonchalant smile, turning to Lin Qianxiao, "You take Weiwei back to the hotel, I'll be back soon!"
"Okay!" Lin Qianxiao imdiately nodded.
"No way! I am one of the people responsible for this mission, I want to go with you!" Bai Weiwei imdiately protested.
Lin Fan rolled his eyes helplessly. The attempt to seize the "sheepskin scroll" was bound to be more intense than the auction bidding, and Bai Weiwei, with her amateur martial skills, would just be a hindrance!
"You go back to the hotel obediently, don't create trouble for !" Lin Fan said.
"Hey! Who are you accusing of creating trouble, Lin, make yourself clear to !" Bai Weiwei put her hands on her waist, returning to her fierce deanor.
But Lin Fan had no ti to argue with her, taking big strides down the five-ter-long stairs, getting into the car, and imdiately following the masked woman and the gray-robed elder's car leisurely!
...
anwhile, inside the car of the masked woman, the driver quietly drove. The car was silent, with the masked woman not speaking and the gray-robed elder resting with his eyes closed, although his brows remained furrowed, knowing that the journey wouldn't be peaceful!
"Master Uncle, quite a few cars are following us behind!" the driver suddenly said.
After hearing this, the masked woman's delicate Willow Eyebrow furrowed involuntarily, quickly checking behind the car, and said, "Quick! Speed up!"
"Yes, Miss!"
The driver didn't dare hesitate, hurriedly increasing the car's speed!
At this mont, the gray-robed elder slowly opened his eyes, revealing a glimpse of profound wisdom and calmly handed the exquisite box containing the sheepskin scroll to the masked woman.
"Qingcheng! There will inevitably be a fierce battle ahead. If sothing unexpected happens, take the 'sheepskin scroll' and leave first. Make sure to deliver it safely to your father," the gray-robed elder said earnestly to the masked woman.
"Don't worry, Master Uncle. But what about you?" the masked woman asked with concern.
"Don't worry, I have a way. Escorting the 'sheepskin scroll' is the most important thing. Make sure you get it back to the sect safely!" the gray-robed elder said solemnly.
"Okay! I will do that!"
The masked woman was not overly sentintal, accepting the box resolutely and biting her lip.
Her na was "Qingcheng," the president of Huaxia Qingcheng International Group, and one of Lin Fan's won, Gu Qingcheng!
