Chapter 310: Beauty No. 1
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The current bid for Beauty No. 10 had already quintupled from 300,000 to 1.5 million dollars. It was indeed quite an enormous amount.
Many of the people in the auction hall actually just wanted to buy a beautiful woman and use her as a plaything, but 1.5 million dollars was too expensive in their opinion.
Besides, she was only the first beauty put up for auction, and there were many more to co. Everyone felt that it wouldn’t make sense to spend so much money on a woman when they haven’t seen the others yet.
So almost everyone gave up and stopped bidding.
“1.5 million dollars, going once!
“1.5 million dollars, going twice!
“1.5 million dollars, going thrice! Sold! Congratulations, Mr. Gray. You have successfully bought Beauty No. 10!”
Symbolic applause filled the air in the hall, but many were looking at Lucas with bizarre gazes, as if mocking him for being a wealthy but foolish dimwit.
Lena, beside Lucas, also looked at him in extre disbelief. “You actually spent 1.5 million dollars on a beauty! Cheyenne will definitely be upset with you when she finds out! But that’s not the point. What are you going to do to her now that you’ve bought her? Is she going to be your kept mistress?”
Lucas smiled faintly. “So, are you going to tell Cheyenne about this?”
“Uh...” Lena was stumped after hearing Lucas’s righteous tone.
Logically speaking, Lena was Cheyenne’s best friend, and now that Lucas had spent so much money to buy a woman, she naturally should tell Cheyenne about it.
But if she really told Cheyenne about it, it would definitely spark a conflict and a heated argunt between Lucas and Cheyenne. Worse still, it might even affect their family, which was sothing that Lena didn’t want to see. What should I do? Should I tell Cheyenne?
While she was feeling conflicted, another beauty, Beauty No. 9, was pushed onto the auction stage, once again sparking a commotion among the guests.
The reason being was that Beauty No. 9 was much more beautiful than Beauty No. 10.
It seed that the beauties to be auctioned were arranged in ascending order in terms of their beauty and figures. Each beauty was prettier than the one auctioned before her.
In that case, there should be eight more beauties to be put on display.
“The starting bid for Beauty No. 9 is 300,000 dollars, and the minimum bid incrent is 15,000 dollars. Bidding starts now!” the emcee once again exclaid. The starting bid was the sa as that for Beauty No. 10, but the bidding was even more intense.
“450,000!”
“620,000!”
“700,000!”
...
“1.2 million!”
“1.5 million!”
When the bid price went above a million dollars, Lucas once again bid 1.5 million dollars.
Everyone once again looked at Lucas, this ti with even more displeasure in their gazes.
He had just bought one beauty, but he actually continued to bid for the second one too!
He seed to be depriving others of a chance to bid for the beauties.
Of course, the emcee on the stage seed extrely excited. Since it was an auction, the rule of highest bidder wins naturally applied. To them, it would definitely be better if there were more guests like Lucas who generously offered high prices!
Only when there was fierce competition would the bids go higher. As the auctioneer, they would then be able to make a greater profit!
Because the price Lucas offered was too high, no one placed any more bids after him, and he similarly bought Beauty No. 9.
At this mont, Lena glared at Lucas with a hostile gaze.
“Lucas, you actually bought a second girl! What are you trying to do? Are you trying to be like so of the rich and famous who like having orgies?” Lena questioned angrily.
Lucas looked at Lena speechlessly. Do I seem like such a person?
But the auction was still in progress, so he couldn’t explain much to her at this point. He decided to keep mum and ignore Lena, who glowered at him furiously before turning to the side.
Sitting on the other side of Lucas, Bruce looked at him with various emotions in his gaze.
Bruce was well aware that Lucas was a morally upright person who would never touch anything related to the vices. And in fact, he even abhorred them to the extent that he barred Bruce from operating any vice-related businesses.
Therefore, he knew that Lucas definitely didn’t spend three million dollars so far on those two won for the sake of doing business with the Kingstons.
Next, as Bruce guessed, Lucas not only bought the first two girls, but he bought the next seven put up for auction as well.
There were only ten beauties for auction in total, and Lucas had already bought nine of them!
This made countless people who failed to win any exasperated.
During the process, there were also so who were enraged and tried to raise the price to snatch a beauty from Lucas.
But he kept offering a much higher price than each bid they placed, which far exceeded their limit.
After so ti, they had no choice but to give up despite being reluctant to do so.
There was nothing else they could do. They were just as hopeless!
In terms of family assets, they did not necessarily have less than Lucas. But during an auction, what mattered was liquid assets! No one could beat Lucas in this aspect.
Lucas had a Black Diamond Card that entitled him to withdraw five billion dollars from any bank. Who would dare to compete with him in terms of the amount of cash they had on hand?
At this point, Lena finally discovered that sothing was amiss. Regardless of how lascivious Lucas was, it didn’t quite make sense for him to buy nine girls at once.
Wouldn’t he be afraid of ruining his...? Lena blushed at the thought, but she was relieved too.
Amid the bizarre tension that arose due to the indignation of many guests, the auction progressed towards its end.
“Next, let us welco the final beauty of the night, Beauty No. 1!”
As the emcee exclaid loudly, the last glass display case, similarly covered with satin, was slowly pushed toward the middle of the auction stage.
As the emcee introduced the details and asurents of Beauty No. 1, the red satin slowly slipped onto the ground, revealing the ravishing beauty who was gorgeous and ethereal like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world!
Lucas suddenly narrowed his eyes with a cold and nacing gaze.
The ‘auction item’ in the last display case was naturally Lucas’s target, Grace!
Unlike during the previous two occasions where Lucas had t Grace, she was not barefaced and dressed plainly this ti. Grace, now placed in a glass display case like an object for sale, had obviously been dolled up ticulously.
She had exquisite makeup on her face that, coupled with her stunning features, made her look like a classic beauty who walked straight out of a painting. With a flustered and timid look on her face, she looked just like a princess in distress at this mont, and she imdiately aroused the desire of all the n present!
“The starting bid for our final beauty, Beauty No. 1, is 1.5 million dollars! The minimum bid incrent is 80,000 dollars. The bidding starts now!”
