The small powers are just here for the fun.

Seeing how their luck turns out, maybe they’ll get a bargain or something.

Today, the underground auction house had heard early that all the major families were gathering at their auction house.

The Kingsleys Family and the Davidson Family go without saying.

Both families are relatively active in Inderia.

Especially the Kingsleys Family.

They are extremely keen to show up at auction venues and similar occasions.

Although the Davidson Family doesn’t come every time, they often visit the underground auction house.

Only the Moore Family has been in seclusion for almost 20 years, rarely showing their faces. This time, Kenzie Nabours actually came in person.

Needless to say, other well-informed people in the auction house heard about it and speculated on what Kenzie Nabours was interested in this time.

Even the auction house staff were curious about what item attracted so many big shots to participate in the auction this time.

Soon, the auction started.

Whether in Beijing, the Illegal Zone, or Inderia, auctions everywhere, regardless of their size, follow a similar format.

It’s always a professional auctioneer presenting the collection, followed by bidding rounds, with the highest bidder winning the collection.

The underground auction house in Inderia started with some relatively common collections, like diamonds, jewelry, and antiques.

Almost no one in the private rooms participated in the bidding.

It was just some small powers below participating in the auction, offering low prices just for fun, to liven up the atmosphere.

Everyone thought the guests in the main private rooms of the underground auction house would wait until the final pieces were on display before making a move.

After all, it was often the case before that these big shots wouldn’t participate in the bidding for the smaller items. Only when the final exquisite pieces came out did they start bidding, otherwise, they remained silent.

Who would have thought this time would be an exception!

The auction reached the fifth round, which is the collection Amadeus Yancey mentioned from a small family—the Flesh Ganoderma.

After the Flesh Ganoderma was brought out, the auctioneer routinely introduced it to everyone and then started the auction.

"The starting price for this Flesh Ganoderma is 2 million, with each raise having to be more than 100,000," the auctioneer first announced the base price and rules.

Then the bidding began below.

"2.1 million." A round-faced man casually called out a price.

"2.2 million."

Then a woman in her forties casually raised her auction number, adding 100,000.

Since the Flesh Ganoderma is similar to diamonds and antiques, in the eyes of the people in Inderia, it’s something better than nothing.

Most of the participants in the auction were raising prices with the mentality of buying and keeping it just in case it becomes useful.

The prices offered by everyone were not high.

The auctioneer mentioned a raise of 100,000 each time, and most people just added 100,000 to the existing price.

The attitude was very much like if they got it, they got it; if not, it didn’t matter.

"2.7 million."

"3 million."

As the price gradually rose to 3 million, the number of people raising their placard dwindled, and many began to think that bidding higher wasn’t worthwhile anymore.

...

In the private room, Kenzie Nabours was closely watching the bidding outside, noticing the number of people bidding was gradually decreasing, a sign of closing the deal.

He felt a tightness in his chest, turned around, and looked at the girl with some urgency and a little confusion: "Nathalie, why haven’t you bid yet?"

Before the auction began, Nathalie Quinlan had told him to leave the matter of buying the Flesh Ganoderma to herself, and Kenzie Nabours trusted her completely.
