Chapter 864: Chapter 864 Heavy Bomb Chapter 864: Chapter 864 Heavy Bomb “Hiss!!”

Several top executives heard this and immediately gasped in surprise, wondering if this guy had come to rob them. What could possibly sell for such an exorbitant price? Three hundred billion right off the bat!?

They knew the estimated value of Snow Wave Mountain was only around five to six hundred billion. What he was about to bring out was supposedly worth half of Snow Wave Mountain–was this a joke?

One of the main persons in charge, named Tom Palmer, swallowed hard, calming the shock in his heart, and asked,
“S-Sir, are you sure you’re not just teasing us? Since you want us to auction your treasure on short notice, why not show yourself?”

The others nodded in agreement. In their view, they wouldn’t dare spend so much money if they hadn’t even seen the person’s face.

However, the semi-transparent figure shook his head, “No, I have remained invisible precisely to avoid revealing my identity! As for whether what I’m selling is worth this money, you’ll know once you see it!”

With that, he took out a treasure box from his pocket and slowly opened it in front of everyone.

The crowd’s eyes widened as they stared unblinkingly at the contents of the box, all of them stunned into silence for a moment.

“Is this… could this be…”

“Correct! It’s exactly what you think it is. Now you understand why it’s not convenient for me to show myself, right?”

“Understood, so you… you really intend to sell it through our auction?”

“Indeed! And I want cash, anonymous cards are also fine! Additionally, if word of my appearance gets out from your mouths, hmph! Don’t blame me for not being courteous then!”

“You… Sir, rest assured! Our auction house has always kept our clients’ privacy! No matter who asks, we won’t tell!”

…

A quarter-hour later.

As the last few treasures were auctioned off, the atmosphere in the auction house instantly peaked.

The major financial powers were all watching the screen closely, paying full attention.

Because what was coming next was Snow Wave Mountain, something they must secure for themselves.

But at that moment, on screen, a middle-aged man appeared, carefully holding a box and whispering something to the dazzling woman next to him before hurrying off.

The dazzling woman’s eyebrows knit together in apparent surprise, but being a professional host, she quickly regained her composure and apologized to the screen,
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m terribly sorry, but it seems we have to auction one more item on short notice!”

As soon as she said this, the entire place couldn’t help but grumble:
“What the heck, will it ever end? We’ve already wasted over two hours, and now you’re adding something else on a whim?”

“As far as I know, there’s no rule about adding items last-minute at auction houses. Hurry up and auction off the land rights for Snow Wave Mountain, we don’t have all day to play with you!”

“Julius, get your boss on the line, I’m going to report your auction house!”

“Claiming to be Octavia’s largest and most professional auction venue, you’re far behind our great Cherrywood auction houses!”

Clearly, the last-minute auction item had instantly sparked dissatisfaction among the crowd; they felt it was clearly a mockery and an attempt to squeeze more money out of them.

The dazzling woman, hearing these voices, could only open the treasure box with a forced smile, saying,
“Our house indeed has never added auction items at the last minute in the past, but please trust us, this time the treasure won’t disappoint everyone!

Because… this is the Soul-snatching Flower, a treasure that once caused a sensation in the Dark Golden Triangle and was sought after by militaries, rumored to allow a Superpowered Person to grasp an additional random Special Ability!”

Boom!!

As these words were spoken, a metaphorical bomb was dropped in the middle of the room, exploding in everyone’s hearts.

“Nani?! Is it really the Soul-snatching Flower? The Soul-snatching Flower?!”

“My God, am I hearing this right? Wasn’t the research on the Soul-snatching Flower lost?”

“Who could possibly be selling it? If they’re willing to sell one, they must have many more, right?”

“I suspect the research on the Soul-snatching Flower never halted, it must be in the hands of some people!”

“This won’t do! I must get it, this is even more tempting than the wealth Snow Wave Mountain could bring!”

Suddenly, every major financial conglomerate and family, as well as Superpowered Persons from all over, buzzed with excitement. The appearance of the Soul-snatching Flower made them consider abandoning their pursuit of Snow Wave Mountain to some extent.

They knew they had to choose one over the other; buying the Soul-snatching Flower meant they wouldn’t have enough money left to bid for the land deeds of Snow Wave Mountain.

At this moment, in VIP Room 0504.

Seeing the appearance of the Soul-snatching Flower, Karen Milton and her sister instinctively looked at Greg Jensen:
“Senior, is… is this the trump card you were talking about?!”

“Once this item surfaces, it will inevitably attract a lot of attention, perhaps even lead to investigations towards you!”

Fifteen minutes ago, Greg Jensen went out with an excuse; they assumed he had gone to the restroom. But now, connecting the dots, it became clear: he must have handed over the Soul-snatching Flower to the auction house.

In response, Greg Jensen smiled and waved his hand nonchalantly, “No, my identity will absolutely not be exposed!”

Perhaps, he had planned this from the start, and only by selling a Soul-snatching Flower could he gather enough money.

As for his cover being blown or being investigated… that was virtually impossible!

On one hand, he chose to hand over the item mid-auction specifically to prevent the upper echelon of the auction house from remembering his face.

On the other hand, during the exchange, he donned a Concealed Battle Robe, making his figure almost invisible, so even if they wanted to, they couldn’t recall his appearance.

Of course, to be safe, before leaving, he discreetly used his Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes to take control of several high-level officials.

By doing so, even if the Liberty Alliance or other major countries put pressure on the auction house later, those high-level individuals would never speak of the exchange process.

Moreover, the money he received was stored on an anonymous bank card, effectively blocking any route the investigators might take.

“Ladies and gentlemen, let’s now officially start bidding for this Soul-snatching Flower, with a starting bid of three hundred billion and each increase must be no less than five million!”

Soon, as the glamorous lady spelled out the rules, the entire auction house erupted into chaos, with wealthy individuals from different rooms crazily raising their bids.

In less than a minute, the price soared to over three hundred sixty billion.

Greg Jensen led the bidding rhythm, repeatedly raising his bidder card, and loudly pushed the price to four hundred billion.

Despite the extravagant price, the obsession with the Soul-snatching Flower wasn’t quenched, and the price continued to rise occasionally.

For whoever obtained this flower would randomly acquire a Special Ability, substantially enhancing their own power.

“Ouyang Senior, the price has stopped moving!”

“Hiss, who would’ve thought, a Soul-snatching Flower could fetch such an outrageous price!”
