Chapter 861 Who Would Dare?
Queeny gave her an admiring look.
“Martha, you're the smart one.”
Irvin was speechless.
He felt more or less unwanted.
But, despite his gripes, he was reassured by the knowledge that Felix was not really giving up, but
would wait until the final showdown.
Soon, the foreigner began to fail.
He sighed helplessly, shook his head in despair, turned to Mr. Clemen with a shrug, and gave up.
Mr. Clemen’s face lit up.
Perhaps Mr. Clemen had gambled everything on this occasion, so he was the highest bidder, if not the
richest.
In the end, the Celestial Book, with its initial biding price of $80 million, was forced to reach $1.5 billion
by him and the foreigner.
At the same time, the hostess looked at the scene in complete silence and smiled, “Mr. Clemen is
offering 1.5 billion. Is there anyone here who wants to raise his bid again?”
There was no answer.
So she started to announce, “1.5 billion first!”
“1.5 billion Second!”
“1.5 billion sold to…!”
“Two billion!”
Her words were suddenly interrupted by a low, strong voice.
The hostess immediately looked at the source of the sound, only to find that it was the young man
sitting in the front row who had not made a sound since the first bid.
In fact, she had already noticed Felix. Because she was not from the community, she did not know him.
But because of his good looks and extraordinary grace, she could not help noticing him from the
moment he entered the room.
At the beginning, when the Celestial Book came out, he made a bid. She had expected him to bid a
second time, but he remained silent.
The hostess felt sorry, thinking that this person was probably not very rich, so he would stop so early,
not competing with these people.
But she didn’t expect him to bid at the end!
The hostess laughed, “The gentleman from Number three is now bidding two billion dollars! Will © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
anyone bid more than $2 billion?”
As soon as Felix spoke, Mr. Clemen broke out in a cold sweat.
It was Felix Bissel!
The head of Dragon Club, heir to the Bissel family.
He thought he could not compete with Felix with his money. But now that he had bid that much, and
Felix was just starting to raise his bid. What else could he do?
Was he really going to give up?
There was a struggle in Mr. Clemen's eyes.
Today he was determined to get Celestial Book one way or another.
So when he got there, he looked around and saw that most of them were a threat to him, but if he really
wanted it, he still had a chance.
Only when he met Felix did his certainty break.
For he knew that no matter how useful it was to Felix, no one else would get hold of it if he liked it.
So, just before the start of the second half, he stopped by to check on him.
At the time, Felix didn't say he wanted that, and he was relieved.
He didn't know he was coming for that too!
What should he do?
Mr. Clemen was almost constantly wiping sweat from his face, looking very anxious.
Irvin turned around with a smile and said, “Mr. Clemen, are you okay?”
Mr. Clemen looked more anxious.
But for $2 billion, he didn't dare bid more.
And even if he did, who knew if Felix would have continued to compete with him?
No one knew how much Felix's wealth was, but it had been calculated that all the richest businessmen
in the land, including the Collins family, the richest family in the area, would be no match for him.
And he was just a businessman who lived off the Collins family.
Finally, Mr. Clemen just smiled stiffly and said, “If Mr. Bissel likes it, I can't take it away from him, so go
ahead.”
Irvin raised his eyebrows, surprised to see him back down so quickly.
Feeling bored, he grunted and turned his head.
The hostess saw this and began to announce.
“Two billion dollars. Anyone else want to bid more?”
There was a silence.
Who would dare take what Felix wanted?
The hostess saw this and said, “Two billion dollars first!”
“Two billion dollars second!”
“Two billion dollars last chance! Sold!”
The hammer banged down and the deal was done.
Because this was the last lot, the end of the sale means that today’s auction had come to a successful
conclusion.
After the hostess announced her thanks, the lights came on in the hall and everyone got up and
headed out.
Outside, Felix was immediately greeted with congratulations.
There were many people who didn’t mean what they said, but on such an occasion, no one would
mind.
Felix greeted them one by one with a faint smile on his face. On closer inspection, he was not as happy
as they had expected him to be about acquiring the treasure.
They did not know why, but they dared not speculate. After congratulating him, they left.
The last one to come out was the pale Mr. Clemen.
Mr. Clemen was a cousin on Irvin’s mother’s side. The two families actually had some disagreements,
but for some reasons, he always relied on the Collins Family to make money.
When selecting the next successor of the Collins Family, Mr. Clemen, as the cousin of Irvin's mother,
supported another cousin of his, so Irvin didn't like him very much.
At this moment, he saw him come out with a dejected look on his face, he immediately stepped forward
to tease him, “Why are you unhappy, cousin? Come on, you didn't get the treasure, but you saved $2
billion! It would take years for you to make that kind of money out of my family.”
Mr. Clemen looked up and gave him a cold stare.
He said coldly, “Instead of staying in the company, you are here with a woman at this time. Does your
father know about it?”
Irvin was stunned.
His bright smile froze on his face.
After a while, he sneered, “Yeah, I was hanging out at work, but you're not much better. Tut! Live
forever? Would it be fun to live forever depending on other people like your family?”
“How dare you!”
Mr. Clemen got angry.
Fortunately, Martha was still sensible. They were, after all, related, and he was Irvin's elder. If they got
into a fight in public, Irvin would be punished when he got home.
