Chapter 289 Are You Surprised

Damian scowled as anger rose in him like a tide.

He was the oldest disciple of the Mountain of the Beasts and the most renowned geomancer in the country, yet time and time again, Alex had provoked him. But what he couldn’t stand the most was the fact that Alex did not have a single ounce of respect for him.

He’s asking for trouble!

Everyone at the scene were scared out of their wits.

Who the hell is he?

Why is he being so disrespectful to Mr. Kline?Does he have a death wish?

Mr. Kline is definitely going to murder him!

Despite his anger, Damian kept his cool so that he could get his hands on the artifact.

Keeping his eyes fixed on Alex, he grinned and said, “We did have a tiny misunderstanding at the entrance just now, but I’m sure it’s not serious enough to warrant retribution, am I right?”

Damian had budgeted twenty–seven million for the Monoceros bone, but looking at Alex’s bid, he might have to fork out forty or even fifty million to secure the bone.

The only thing he could conclude about Alex from his bid was that he had a screw loose somewhere.

Although Damian did not have a problem with spending such a huge amount of money, he had earned those riches with his own hard work.

He was not going to spend it all on a tiny piece of bone.

As such, he forced himself to stay calm so that he could convince Alex to retract his bid.

I’ll wreck him once I get my hands on that bone!

“Alright, that’s enough nonsense from you.” Alex sneered. He glanced at Damian arrogantly and continued, “This is an auction, and auctions have rules. If you don’t have the money, then get out of here!”

The crowd had once again gone into a state of hysteria.

Whoa!

He’s telling Mr. Kline to get out?

How audacious of him!

Damian glared at him coldly as he tried to keep his temper in check. “I really want this bone. Can’t you be nice for once?”

“Be nice? Do I even know you? Who’s going to be nice to me then?” Alex sneered.

He crossed his arms across his chest. “Since when does broke rascals like you are allowed here?”

Take that, you old geezer! That’s for threatening me at the entrance earlier.

I’m getting that bone no matter what!

Considering the sheer amount of mana that bone was holding, the last thing Alex wanted was for it to fall into someone else’s hands.

Damian grew ashen from anger and humiliation.

Alex looked like he was in his mid–twenties, which would make him even younger than his own disciples‘ kids

Damian dropped his gentlemanly mask and spat, “My, my! I never knew someone could be so stupidly disrespectful! Fine then, let’s make it a fair match! Whoever bids the higher price wins!”

I would like to see just how much you’re able to fork out for this Monoceros bone!

With that. Damian turned to the auctioneer and yelled, “Fifty million!”

The members of the crowd hollered in excitement.

As the competition slowly turned into a bet, the tension in the room mounted with each passing second.

The rules were simple: whoever makes the highest bid wins the bet.

Damian figured that small increments would only prolong their suffering, so he decided to throw out a frighteningly high bid just to scare Alex off. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Everyone turned to Alex, eager to see his reaction.

The bone would have cost at most thirty to forty million, making the crowd wonder if Alex would bother‘ to keep up.

However, Alex looked completely unfazed.

“A hundred million!”

He doubled the price!

The crowd roared in surprise.

The bidding price of the bone increased exponentially in a matter of minutes, making it somewhat legendary.

“Stop acting like you’re rich, Alex Jefferson!” Desmond yelled. “Aren’t you just a live–in son–in–law?”

Alex chuckled. “Haven’t you considered the fact that I am indeed rich, Desmond? You see this card here? It belongs to your family, gifted to me by your uncle Stefan. Are you surprised yet?”
