"The winner is the Li family with a bid of 527 million high-grade spirit stones." The auctioneer spoke with genuine enthusiasm. He didn't care particularly for the item or even the winners, but he was happy about the amount of money gained by the auction house while he was on stage.
On the other side, Li Huang couldn't really say he was happy. It was a fierce bidding war between him and a few other families, but he won it in the end. He wasn't sad about the final price, as it was still less than 600 million, the amount he thought it would go for. He was angry at himself for not figuring out the Xu family's ploy sooner.
