The auction continued smoothly after the bidding war between Long Tian and Lin Fan. Over an hour had passed since the auction began.
Participants remained engrossed, spellbound by the premium and scarce items up for bidding.
The bid wars among participants heightened the thrill, culminating in a remarkable bid of 100 million Yuan for a magical weapon.
Throughout this period, Lin Fan chose to abstain from bidding, finding none of the items compelling.
Similarly, Long Tian refrained from bidding, recognizing Lin Fan's lack of interest in the auction items.
At this juncture, Su Dongzhu showcased a dagger with a blue color and a serrated back, adorned with a fiery motif.
Every gaze, including that of Long Tian's, fixated on the displayed dagger. He raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised by the dagger's appearance.
"Uncle Ling, that dagger feels familiar; I think I've encountered a similar one in the Long family's heritage collection," he comnted.
"Yeah, I recall seeing it too. If mory serves, it was exhibited among war spoils, but the color of this dagger differs from the one in the heritage room. Well, perhaps it harbors distinct powers," Ling Han responded.
Long Tian simply nodded. The dagger didn't particularly captivate him, given that he possessed more potent and suitable weapons, like the Darkblade.
However, he cast a glance at Lin Fan, aware that if Lin Fan decided to bid, he would follow suit.
anwhile, Su Dongzhu comnced the explanation, "This is a Fla and Ocean Dagger, or at least that's what the owner calls it. As for its effects, we've experinted with various thods, and it doesn't exhibit any magical properties. The starting bid is 1000 Yuan, and subsequent bids will increase by 1000 Yuan," he stated calmly, offering clear details.
Nurous individuals displayed interest, promptly raising their respective bidder numbers.
"10,000 Yuan."
"20,000 Yuan."
"25,000 Yuan."
"...."
Various bids resonated through the audience. The dagger's aesthetic allure captured the attention of many.
"31,000 Yuan."
The bidding ca to a halt at this amount, with no further participants signaling their interest.
In the regular seats, Lin Fan's smile widened. Through his Golden Eyes ability, the dagger emitted a distinctive golden aura!
Although the aura was subtler than that of the previous canvas, he couldn't simply overlook it.
He subtly observed Long Tian, who maintained his composure.
'He shouldn't be challenging again,' Lin Fan remarked silently.
His frustration lingered from losing the opportunity to acquire that canvas. This ti, he was determined not to lose.
"31,000 yuan, is this the final bid?" Su Dongzhu inquired.
In response, Lin Fan raised his hand, revealing the number 35, "32,000 yuan," he bid.
Su Dongzhu promptly shifted his gaze toward Lin Fan, "Oh, a bid from the young man with number 35. Any other bids?" he asked.
Lin Fan maintained his composure, though his heart quickened its pace. His eyes remained fixed on Long Tian, wishing that Long Tian wouldn't enter the bidding.
However, in that very mont, his heart pounded even faster, and his expression turned grim as Long Tian raised his hand.
"10 million Yuan," Long Tian bid, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Lin Fan gritted his teeth. It was clear; Long Tian was challenging him once again!
"Oh, an exceptional bid from the young master in the VIP section. It appears you have a keen appreciation for art," Su Dongzhu comnted, a genial smile adorning his face.
Long Tian responded with a simple smile.
anwhile, onlookers pondered why Long Tian placed such a high bid. However, those familiar with Long Tian's identity weren't surprised; several million was a negligible amount for soone of his stature.
Su Dongzhu, on the other hand, directed his gaze toward Lin Fan. "And you, young one, will you let go of the dagger to this young master?" he inquired.
Lin Fan remained silent, restraining his anger. Then, he took a deep breath and let it out.
'If you truly want to keep challenging , Long Tian, then I'll surpass you!' he vowed in his heart.
Xiao Jun suddenly tapped his shoulder. "Please, Brother Lin, don't get provoked, and let Long Tian win. I have a bad feeling about this," he earnestly said.
"Don't worry about it, Brother Xiao," Lin Fan responded, a grin spread across his face.
Then, he raised his hand high and declared, "50 million Yuan!" His voice cut through the atmosphere like a dagger.
A sudden silence enveloped the room as Lin Fan's words concluded. Subsequently, a collective expression of surprise etched on everyone present.
Long Tian was no exception; his raised eyebrows displayed surprise, not expecting Lin Fan to bid this high.
However, his expression returned to composed, and he grinned inwardly. He was beginning to understand this dynamic.
anwhile, Su Dongzhu couldn't contain his astonishnt. "50 million?! Are you sure? There's still ti to cancel," he inquired seriously.
"I'm a hundred percent sure," Lin Fan responded with a smirk.
Upon receiving this confirmation, Su Dongzhu declared, "Very well, an exceptionally high bid from the young man with number 35!" Then, he shifted his gaze to Long Tian, "And you, the young master. Will you release the dagger, or will you place another bid?" he inquired.
Everyone waiting for Long Tian's response. Previously, there was a bidding war that reached 15 million Yuan. This ti, many were eager to know if the bid war between Long Tian and Lin Fan would reach 100 million Yuan.
Long Tian, on the other hand, smiled. "Well, 50 million Yuan is a significant amount. Since my competitor has an affinity for the dagger, I'll let it go," he stated, his smile evolving into a grin.
This declaration disappointed many, as the prospect of further bidding wars between Lin Fan and Long Tian faded.
Su Dongzhu, quick to respond, remarked, "Oh, surprisingly, the charming young master concedes? Are you sure?" he inquired.
"I'm a hundred percent sure," Long Tian affird, a grin still present on his face.
"Then settled! 50 million Yuan remains with the young man numbered 35. Are there any other bids?" Su Dongzhu asked.
As his query lingered, Lin Fan's expression suddenly shifted to blank. Unexpectedly, Long Tian refrained from placing another bid!
His heart raced, panic evident in his expression. He scanned the surroundings, hoping for another bidder, but the atmosphere remained silent, with no one raising their hand.
"No more bids? Then settled! The young man numbered 35 is the winner with a bid of 50 million!" Su Dongzhu announced.
While so applauded, Lin Fan's expression turned utterly vacant, his body feeling limp.
50 million, the outco of a bank loan, his entire savings, spent on just a dagger.
Simultaneously, anger and frustration engulfed his heart. With eyes ablaze with rage, he glared at Long Tian. Surprisingly, Long Tian grinned with a touch of mockery.
Lin Fan gritted his teeth, flas of anger burning in his eyes.
'Long Tian! I will kill you!' he vowed in his heart.
