The tension in the auction room was palpable. Some backed out from bidding. Tian Shi wouldn't be so stupid to buy everything, right? While some were fearless. They were only bidding, what could his highness do to them? Pretended bidding was illegal only if they were the sellers of the items.
"Going once, going twice, sold to number thirty-two!" The fall of the hammer constituted a sale of a valuable jewel.
The Bidder number thirty-two opened his mouth wide. When he saw how Tian Shi was about to raise the stake, he automatically raised his number card too; his hand started to sweat, he didn't need that thing, "Hey, I saw Tian Shi raising her hand sooner!"
"Hm?" Bing Shi looked his way, congratulating his win with a smile, "Ah, Tian Shi saw how much sir desired the item, so I refrained from bidding. Congratulation. But if my assumptions were wrong, I'd gladly take it in sir' stead."
