Chapter 1135: 1132
“Without strength, you simply have no strength—stop posing as a wise man!”
A word of consolation, a provocation!
With her decision made, Jessica Wright said coldly, “My business is none of your concern!”
That was her response to Oliver Walker!
While Oliver Walker himself wanted to continue persuading her, Jessica Wright had already called out her bid.
“Two billion five hundred million!”
“Three billion!”
“Three billion five hundred million!”
The next moment, the auction had entered an intense phase!
Watching the big screen, Andy Carter smirked, “The timing is about right now!”
In his earpiece, having received the message, Frank Carter also put away his playful attitude and then struck the gavel in his hand.
Jessica Wright and Vivian Li also stopped bidding in an instant!
At this time, what was the purpose of striking the gavel?
Only Oliver Walker, not yet blinded by money, retained a last shred of rationality.
He never cared about money in the first place.
He knew a conspiracy was unfolding!
The following events would surely be the real highlight, wouldn’t they?
“As my young master said, there’s no great point in continuing the bidding!”
“After all, my young master isn’t lacking in funds!”
In Frank Carter’s eyes shone an astute light; he was even more eager to know what game the young master truly intended to play!
Because even he was in the dark!
Which made him all the more curious!
“What do you mean?”
Vivian Li’s face turned green with rage, “So, we’re not auctioning anymore?”
“Are you toying with the Li family?”
Her teeth itched with hatred!
She was practically fuming with anger!
Bear in mind, she had the strength, and every increase in her bid proved that the value of the Spirit Gathering Grass was immeasurable in terms of money.
So naturally, she was unhappy when the other party called a stop to the bidding!
Jessica Wright didn’t speak, but she also exuded a thick aura of murderous intent!
She must obtain the Spirit Gathering Grass!
After all, this auction was stirred up by her directing Lucas Davis to penetrate the ancient martial arts world—how could she let others benefit?
If the other party was unwilling to auction, the ninjas prepared outside were ready to act!
If it came down to it, she would initiate a massacre!
“Damn it!”
“What’s this all about?”
“Nonsense!”
“We must auction—halting it midway is against martial arts world rules!”
The crowd was outraged; the martial arts masters felt toyed with—are they to tolerate this?
“No!”
“No, no!”
Frank Carter shook his head repeatedly: “My young master means that since everyone present is deeply interested in the Spirit Gathering Grass…”
“So, it will be up to fate to decide who shall obtain the Spirit Gathering Grass!”
“My young master would rather let those destined receive this gift from the heavens!”
After another bout of nonsense, silence fell upon the room again!
Because he had captured everyone’s psyche—everyone wanted to acquire the Spirit Gathering Grass, but many lacked the strength and finances to compete.
But now that it came down to luck, things became interesting.
It was as if they all had gained another opportunity!
“What exactly do you mean?”
Vivian Li exploded in rage, screaming—understandably upset, for if not for this twist, the Spirit Gathering Grass would have ended up either with her or with Jessica Wright.
But now it was all down to luck, which was utter nonsense!
Likewise, Jessica Wright’s expression was not pleasant!
Backed by their own power, no one wanted to depend on the whims of fate!
Only Oliver Walker had guessed a little…
Anthony Carter’s tricks were just too malevolent!
A bloodbath tonight was unavoidable!
“Clap, clap, clap…”
In response to the questioning, Frank Carter did not answer, but instead began clapping his hands; soon after, hundreds of waiters entered the scene in an orderly fashion, each holding an opaque red wooden box.
This caused all the martial artists present to stand up, wondering…
