Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1471 - 1468: The Intensifying Bidding War

The bidding price has now reached six billion. Ordinary Ancient Martial Artists have no part in this climax auction anymore; both the Yuwen Family and the Situ Family are already bidding.

"Ten billion!" A woman’s voice gracefully echoed out, making Lin Tian’s eyes twitch. Isn’t this voice Aunt Wang’s? This "Heroine" indeed bids aggressively, ten billion at once. Her boldness surpasses many men.

"Miss Wang, you truly exemplify the saying that women can rival men in courage. Ten billion at once, the Yun Family sure is wealthy." A middle-aged man from the Situ Family stepped out, with a faint smile on his face.

The first half of his sentence sounded agreeable, but the latter part made Lin Tian frown. It was obviously mocking, implying she used Yun Family’s money after marrying into a secular world.

Lin Tian knew that if the Situ Family wanted the Meteorite Heart, Wang Wanxi, being a daughter-in-law of the Yun Family, was a formidable opponent. The Situ Family’s middle-aged man deliberately provoked Wang Wanxi because the Yun Family is wealthier.

Their aim was to prevent Wang Wanxi from using the Yun Family’s money. Others heard the Situ Family’s intent too, but remained silent.

"Situ Ming, if you want the Meteorite Heart, be a man and bid properly. Why resort to petty tricks?" Wang Wanxi looked towards Situ Family’s box, speaking with dignity.

"Did my Uncle Ming say anything wrong? If you have the ability, your Wang Family should not use Yun Family’s money," Situ Ruoling couldn’t help but shout loudly, seemingly still harboring anger in her heart, her words were more direct than Situ Ming’s.

However, when she said this, many frowned slightly, not due to her harsh words, but because it was ill-mannered for a junior to interrupt.

Wang Wanxi didn’t even glance at Situ Ruoling and did not respond to her, simply gazing lightly at Situ Ming, making Situ Ming slightly embarrassed by others’ reactions.

He waved his hand at Situ Ruoling, sternly saying, "Step back, this isn’t a place for you to speak." Situ Ruoling snorted, glaring around, but retreated two steps.

After disciplining the junior, Situ Ming spoke again, "The young one was ignorant, sorry for making you laugh. However, I want to ask Miss Wang, why would the Wang Family compete with us for the Meteorite Heart when you already have the Lifeless Sword?"

"The Situ Family also has the Broken Water Sword, why do you covet the Meteorite Heart?" Wang Wanxi retorted.

"Broken Water is somewhat inferior to Lifeless, Purple Lightning, and Qingshuang. This isn’t a secret; everyone knows. Thus, the Situ Family has more compelling reasons to acquire the Meteorite Heart," Situ Ming replied uncompromisingly.

Lin Tian looked at this middle-aged man’s fake smile, shook his head, thinking a proper auction has turned into a debate.

"So talkative, increase by one million," Lin Tian said to Xing Shan beside him.

Xing Shan was engrossed in the drama outside when suddenly Lin Tian asked to raise the price, he didn’t react promptly but shouted, "So talkative, increase by one million!"

This straightforward man almost verbatim repeated Lin Tian’s words, his loud voice and arrogant tone left Ancient Martial Artists and prestigious families astounded.

This guy had no clue; he finished shouting and only then remembered he hadn’t rung the bell, so he rang it again, finally realizing, and asked, "Senior, what was the bidding price just now? Is it enough to increase by one million?"

Lin Tian was dumbfounded by this honest fool. How had he survived until now? Lin Tian sighed helplessly, replying, "Ten billion, Wang Family just bid ten billion."

"Ten billion? They must be really rich, although they bid ten billion, we increased only by one million, it’s indeed a bit low..." Xing Shan muttered to himself, suddenly realizing something, his face changed with shock, "What, ten billion? So... so we bid ten billion and one million?"

Lin Tian watched his startled expression with a face filled with dark lines, shaking his head, he asked helplessly, "What do you think?"

Xing Shan rubbed his hands nervously, "Then... does Senior have that much money?"

"I don’t know," Lin Tian replied directly.

"Don’t know?" This time Xing Shan was dumbfounded, he glanced outside the window and whispered, "Senior, should we sneak away? If no one else bids, how can we come up with ten billion and one million?" He understood Lin Tian’s words as having no money.

"What are you afraid of, stand firm," Lin Tian didn’t bother explaining, responding directly.

At this moment, everyone looked towards Lin Tian’s box. Daring to interrupt the "exchange" between two Ancient Martial Families, and adding one million to the bid, looked like nothing but causing trouble.

Situ Ming squinted his eyes, then cupped his fists towards the nameless box, saying, "Ling Pavilion Master, be cautious of someone causing trouble."

His words clearly targeted Lin Tian causing trouble. Actually, it wasn’t just Situ Ming who thought so, many shared this notion; increasing one million each time, wasn’t this stirring up trouble?

"No one dares to cause trouble at the auction, the auction continues," Ling Pavilion Master’s voice emerged from the nameless box, the words left Ancient Martial Artists slack-jawed.

Ling Pavilion Master surprisingly had no intention to pursue, acknowledging Lin Tian’s bid, several prestigious families exchanged glances, unanimously thinking of the same thing: the masked man’s identity isn’t simple.

"Ten billion and one million, is there any higher bid?" Ling Xiao announced, reminding everyone, if no one bids, I’ll initiate the countdown.

Now, various families had no time to ponder over Lin Tian, the masked man, focusing back on the auction. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Twelve billion!"

Following this small episode, a new sky-high price appeared, everyone looked, it came from the Yuwen Family’s box, but surprisingly wasn’t a Yuwen Family member, it was Li Wenfeng, people’s expressions turned more peculiar, the Yuwen Family and its son-in-law seemed at odds.

Situ Ming’s expression couldn’t remain relaxed anymore, with both Yun and Li Families involved, this auction became rather elusive. Honestly, he couldn’t fathom, the Meteorite Heart can’t be measured by money, why Qingshuang Pavilion would agree to auction it.

To overrate it, it’s priceless; to undervalue it, just an indestructible stone, worthless.

However, the real reason didn’t matter anymore; more crucial was, indeed, the Situ Family needed the Meteorite Heart, just as he said, they needed something that could rival Purple Lightning Qingshuang.

"Thirteen billion!" Situ Ming forwent any decorum, coldly and directly called the price.

Thirteen billion made Lin Tian smile internally, these Ancient Martial Families were indeed wealthy. Previously he only heard about it, now he sees and hears it firsthand.

"Fifteen billion." Wang Wanxi was even more straightforward, directly increasing by two billion.

Situ Ming’s eyelid twitched, thinking Wang Wanxi was as crazy as her father.
