Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress - Chapter 243
Chapter 243: Unrest
Finally, the Yu Family bought that 10 bottles of potion for 500,000 smart coins.
The second last item was also 10 bottles of premium potions. This time, the Dugu Family bought it for 300,000 smart coins.
They had already given the Yu Family sufficient face for the first time. Naturally, they wouldn’t give up these 10 bottles of potion again. After all, after this auction, who knew when would be the next?
Such a mood continued till the last item of the auction appeared.
There was only 1 bottle of blood-red potion. This time, the host didn’t appear. Instead, it was the owner of the auction hall who almost hadn’t appeared at all in the past. Upon seeing his appearance, everyone couldn’t help but hold their breaths.
“This last item for the auction…”—he took a deep breath before speaking—”is a top-grade potion with 80% purity. It has already been tested by professionals and will start bidding at 100,000 smart coins!”
Right after he spoke, the people on level 1 all couldn’t help but stand up!
Top-grade potions were almost only legendary—how did it appear here today?
Now, even the people on level 2 weren’t calm.
At this point, the second elder—Dugu Xing—and the rest already couldn’t care less about Su Huiqing as everyone looked at that bottle of potion placed on the table harshly.
“We have to get it.” The second elder grabbed his fists ruthlessly. “Ji-An, contact the head of the family, tell him this information, and ask him to get people to bring more smart coins.”
Dugu Ji-An’s expression was also solemn. However, in comparison to the others’ astonishment, there was slightly less shock in his eyes.
Then, he contacted Dugu Heng as instructed.
Everyone in the Dugu Family knew that when it came to smart coins, the entire family had less than one Dugu Heng. Besides capabilities, this was also one of the reasons for the elders not daring to go face to face with Dugu Heng.
“The auction hall won’t make any mistakes. Where on earth did this top-grade potion come from?” The second elder had yet to sit down.
Dugu Xing suddenly spoke, “Unless it’s the Ye Family?”
“Impossible.” Dugu Ji-An shook his head, his eyes glowing dimly. “Based on my knowledge, the Ye Family patriarch is still in retreat. This potion maker… should be an unrelated party. After the auction, we should look for the owner of the auction hall.”
The second elder’s face turned solemn. He didn’t object to it; they must befriend someone who could cultivate a top-grade potion.
Such an instance almost happened to all the families. Every family’s in-charge almost gave the same instructions.
Su Huiqing touched her chin, happy to see such a scene. Only when these families start competing would she earn more.
Her phone vibrated, and she looked down at a message from Uncle Chen: “Collect money.”
Su Huiqing scanned it before pulling the chair and standing up with narrowed eyes. “It’s too boring. I’ll go back first.”
At a time like this, nobody bothered about her. Even Dugu Xing didn’t make any snide remarks about her.
Only Dugu Ji-An nodded slightly at her.
Su Huiqing smiled slightly before walking out of the room.
However, she didn’t head right outside. Instead, she avoided the surveillance of the auction hall, walked into a corner, received a backpack from Uncle Chen’s hands, pulled the zipper, and retrieved a red long robe as well as a silver mask.
Uncle Chen watched intently. The elegant Su Huiqing suddenly turned slightly evil. Her eyes were shining through the mask very brightly.
If Su Huiqing didn’t transform right before him, he definitely wouldn’t recognize that this was his Missy!
Right after she put on the mask, her whole aura changed. Her aura turned even more evil, cold, and glamorous.
The top-grade potion was finally bought by the Ye Family with 3.3 million smart coins.
Undoubtedly, in the entire International Association, no one was richer than the Ye Family. In the end, even the Dugu Family stopped fighting. Initially, the Ye Family could have bought it for 2 million smart coins. However, the final price was driven up by the Yu Family and the Ye Family.
3.3 million smart coins wasn’t a small sum even to the Ye Family.
However, the Ye Family didn’t feel any pain at all.
No one knew the value of a top-grade potion better than them; this was far better than a premium potion with 100% purity.
After the process, the owner of the auction hall stepped down.
He saw Su Huiqing sitting in the secret room. When he saw her get-up, he was violently shaken. Not daring to speak excessively, he merely bent over and passed a card to her. “Senior, after commission, there’s still 4 million smart coins inside.”
Su Huiqing received the card. She was all elegant as she intentionally deepened her voice until it was slightly hoarse. “Very good. In the future, the Su Corporation will continue cooperating with you.”
She didn’t intentionally mention it… that she was more than 10 years younger than the owner of the auction hall.
Senior it was, then. At least, it was more compelling.
Continue cooperating? The owner of the auction hall’s eyes lit up violently. He didn’t care about the Su Corporation as he spoke with a trembling voice, “It’s the honor of our auction hall. Senior, let me see you out.”
He followed behind Su Huiqing respectfully.
At this point, the auction had already ended.
Everyone had already made their exits concurrently. The group of people who had bid great items strolled out slowly, including those superfamilies.
Dugu Ji-An and the second elder walked in a line. Suddenly, Dugu Ji-An was stunned. He looked up in a direction. Following his gaze, everyone instinctively looked in that direction…
And also paused in their tracks slightly.
