"One million gold soul coins for the Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone!"
As soon as Huo Yuhao spoke, he raised the price of the Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone to one million gold soul coins. Hearing this price, both Bei Bei and the young man who had previously bid gave up.
The Golden Radiance Soul Bone's value was about one million gold soul coins. Although it had the pure bloodline of the Bright Dragon Clan, making it extremely rare, neither of them had enough money to bid for it.
Dai Yueheng found himself in a difficult position. He didn't want to give up this soul bone, as even in the Duke's Mansion, such high-quality soul bones were rare treasures. However, Huo Yuhao was clearly determined to compete with him. Although Dai Yueheng didn't know where Huo Yuhao got so much money, he knew that no one dared to bid recklessly in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
If someone bid and didn't pay, the pavilion would directly contact Shrek Academy to impose the highest penalty on the student, leaving a lifelong stain. If the person wasn't from Shrek Academy, they would have to crawl out of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. Shrek Academy wasn't kind-hearted; anyone who dared to mess with it would pay the price.
"Everyone, I'm not here for anything else today, just to vent my anger. I have no intention of targeting anyone else. As long as Dai Yueheng bids, I'll follow. Dai Yueheng, do you dare to gamble with me?" Huo Yuhao said coldly.
Dai Yueheng's face changed instantly. Given his brother Dai Huabin's previous encounter, he didn't dare to gamble with Huo Yuhao. Moreover, if he spent all one and a half million gold soul coins in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, he would face significant trouble.
One and a half million gold soul coins could arm a heavy cavalry regiment of tens of thousands, including their horses, to the teeth. If converted to provisions, this money could even determine the outcome of a small war. Dai Yueheng had taken this money from the family funds with his mother's tacit consent. Spending eight hundred thousand might still be concealed through some means, but one and a half million would definitely attract the attention of the Xingluo Royal Family.
In such a sensitive position, it would become a classic drama.
Star Luo Royal Family: Where did the one and a half million go?
White Tiger Duke's Mansion: Bought a soul bone!
Star Luo Royal Family: Where's the soul bone?
White Tiger Duke's Mansion: Absorbed it!
In the end, the Star Luo Empire would either reluctantly let it go but harbor resentment, or Dai Yueheng would be stuck in a never-ending cycle of trying to prove he bought and absorbed a soul bone.
"Huo Yuhao, you win! I didn't expect a powerless orphan like you to have such wealth. No wonder you can stay at a hotel in Shrek City every day." Dai Yueheng said, pretending to be playful.
Huo Yuhao had exposed his wealth at the auction, and Dai Huabin had intentionally pointed out that Huo Yuhao had no background and didn't live in Shrek Academy. This was to let everyone at the auction know. In such a mixed crowd, there might be a few ruthless individuals who would cause trouble for Huo Yuhao. Dai Yueheng wouldn't mind seeing Huo Yuhao in trouble.
However, he didn't know that Huo Yuhao, even without his powerful allies, wasn't afraid of assassinations. His powerful bodyguard, Yu Tao, and the protective Haishen's Light, along with the vigilant Dragon God Douluo Mu En, were his safeguards.
"It's fine. I have no ties and won't lose my family's legacy." Huo Yuhao shrugged.
"You!" Dai Yueheng gritted his teeth.
The Star Luo Empire's upheaval had left the White Tiger Family forever scarred. Though they held a hereditary dukedom, it was still a vassal position, subject to control. Huo Yuhao's sharp words directly struck this sore spot, making Dai Yueheng's eyes red with anger. He now understood why Dai Huabin had risked his life against Huo Yuhao. This kid was indeed skilled at provoking people.
"Guest number 333 bids one million gold soul coins. Any higher bids? If not, this item belongs to him!"
Jiang Nannan's voice trembled. One million gold soul coins was an astronomical amount for someone from a commoner background.
"Dai Yueheng, if you don't have the money to buy this soul bone, I can help you." Huo Yuhao smiled.
"Oh? You'd help me?" Dai Yueheng asked, caught off guard.
"Yes, I'm well-connected with the moneylenders in Shrek City. I can help you take a high-interest loan under the Duke's name. And don't worry about repayment; your father will cover it. Once you get used to it, you'll get the hang of it!"
Dai Yueheng was so enraged that he almost fainted. Meanwhile, Jiang Nannan's gavel fell, and the Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone was officially Huo Yuhao's.
After paying the one million gold soul coins, Huo Yuhao didn't return to his original seat. Instead, he searched the auction hall and found two familiar faces.
"I can feel that this soul bone suits me, but the money from my fathers isn't enough, and I can't ask the sect for more!"
"Don't be sad, Wang Dong. If you want, I can ask Huo Yuhao if he's willing to sell it to you at a higher price?"
Wang Dong sat in the corner, looking dejected. Xiao Xiao comforted her, seemingly consoling but actually taking advantage of the situation.
"Do you want this Golden Radiance Left Arm Bone?" Huo Yuhao suddenly asked.
Hearing his voice, Wang Dong looked up, her eyes gleaming with desire for the soul bone.
"If you call me 'brother,' I can give it to you. Of course, you have to repay me with interest." Huo Yuhao chuckled.
Wang Dong blushed but her desire for the soul bone overcame her embarrassment.
"Brother!"
"Why are you calling me brother?"
"I want that soul bone!"
"Say it all together!"
"Brother, I want that soul bone. I want your big soul bone!"
