The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky -
Chapter 519
Chapter 519
The pair left the hotel and drove to the auction that was held at the city center.
It was the largest auction in Seacove City and all neighboring cities, attracting countless wealthy families and collectors to gather for it.
By the time Leon and Cynthia arrived, the outdoor parking lot was filled with all luxurious brands of cars.
According to the protocol, Leon and Cynthia had to submit 300 thousand for deposit in exchange for a number plate and a dialog.
The number given to them was 1603 and it would be the number they used when they bid for objects; the dialog had all the information about the objects sold at the auction with the estimated prices written on their respective pages for the guests' convenience.
On the first floor of the building, over a thousand people took their seats, and apart from businessmen and collectors, there were also members of powerful families seen everywhere. Leon and Cynthia entered the event hall and found their seats.
Before they were a gigantic stage with countless security guards dressed in black to maintain orders. There were also a few young hostesses who went around to serve drinks and snacks. The auction started shortly after and a man in his forties stepped toward the stage confidently.
"Hello, everyone. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jared Powell and I am the person in charge of
before this auction. I hereby welcome all of you to the auction," The man proceeded to welcome the guests, signaling the hostesses to carry the items onto the stage to start the auction. There were all sorts of commodities from ancient paintings to artifacts of all prices but were all sold at three to four times higher than their starting prices in the end. Naturally, there were also rare commodities that did not catch any attention.
Leon came for the five-hundred-year-old Panax and was not interested in anything else, but Cynthia was rather excited and bought two antique porcelain vases as gifts for Benedict. Half-way through the auction, excitement reached its peak and Jared finally signaled the hostess to carry the Panax onto stage.
"The following item is a wild Panax that has grown for five hundred and thirty years. This is one of the three most valuable items in this auction and the starting price for this is four million dollars, which bid must carry the value of seven-hundred-thousand or above!" Jared said.
The crowd erupted into a discussion.
"Four million? That's so expensive!"
"Yeah! Does he take us for fools?"
Despite all the discussion, all the guests knew that wild Panax that grew for over five hundred years was a rare gem that could easily cost over four million. However, since it was merely a raw ingredient, it could only
be preserved as a trophy for most people as none of them knew how to use it.
