ang Defu. He pressed the answer button and said, "Uncle Defu, is something the matter"Wang Defu said, "Xiao Fan, I really regret not listening to you yesterday. Now we've caused a big trouble, our cap...The auction ended, Ye Bufan paid the auction price, and then took the fragment of the picture.

I held it carefully in my hand, turning it over and over, but I couldn't figure out what material it was made of.

But from the aura it emits, it's definitely something with some years on it, not a counterfeit made by someone bored.

As for the lines drawn in the painting, they are incomplete and cannot determine their location. It is impossible to speculate on the direction indicated by the map. For now, it has been temporarily stored in the storage ring.

Next, the auction continues. The auctioneer says: "Ladies and gentlemen, our next item is a little unusual. Let's see who here has a connection with it."

After she finished speaking, with a wave of her hand, two workers immediately carried the wooden stake up.

"What is this How come wood is being auctioned off now"

A look of astonishment crossed everyone's faces.

"Folks, you all think this is just a wooden stake, right The stuff we put out in our store is never that simple."

The auctioneer said, "This item was found in an ancient tomb. Our appraisers have conducted a thorough examination of it. Not only can ordinary knives not cut through it, but even X-rays cannot penetrate it."

Although no definitive conclusion was reached, it can be said with certainty that it is anything but ordinary.

"For those interested, you can buy it back and study it slowly. Our starting price is very favorable, $20,000, with each increase no less than $2,000. Now the auction begins..."

A stake that was impervious to both blades and swords, even X-rays couldn't penetrate it. This immediately sparked curiosity among some people.

Tanaka Koji held up the bidding card in his hand: "I bid $50,000."

He was a little interested in the wooden post, and $50,000 didn't seem like much to him. He wanted to buy it back just to see what it was.

"I'll bid $100,000."

He doubled the price as soon as it was given.

Tanaka Hiroji's face darkened; in his view, this Chinese man was deliberately provoking him.

"150,000..."

“200,000…”

Tanaka Koji just added 50,000 yen, and Ye Bufan raised the price to 200,000.

"300,000…"

"400,000..."

"500,000..."

"One million..."

Two people bargained back and forth, the price soaring all the way. Finally, Ye Bufan offered a staggering 1 million yuan.

Everyone around was dumbfounded, though they were all wealthy, nobody had ever seen such extravagant spending. It really depended on what the item being auctioned off was. Tanaka Koji, who had been blushing furiously just a moment ago, suddenly revealed a cunning smile.

"Kid, are you trying to trick me I'm not falling for it. Take it."

Someone who buys a broken piece of wood for one million dollars is an idiot. Take it home and treasure it yourself.

In his view, Ye Bufan wasn't interested in the wooden stake itself. He thought Ye Bufan was just trying to stir up trouble by bidding, drive the price up, and then suddenly withdraw, leaving him stuck with a high price.

But how could he, so intelligent, possibly be deceived He had withdrawn early, setting a trap for the other party. Thinking about this, he wore a smug expression, eager to see the other party's downfall.

It's a pity that Ye Bufan's reaction was very flat, he didn't show any anger, which disappointed him a little.

Tanaka Hiroji withdrew, and naturally the others would not bid any more. In the end, Ye Bufan spent another 1 million dollars to buy back the piece of wood.

Two waiters carried in a log, and Ye Bufan carefully inspected it with his divine sense before understanding what was going on.

This wooden stake was sealed, which is why it was impervious to swords and x-rays.

He secretly pinched a seal to break the enchantment, then scanned it with his divine sense, understanding the situation of the wooden stake.

"Here you go."

Ye Bufan said, and transferred the wooden stake in his hand to the side Watanabe Keiko.

"Hahaha, Chinese people, are you kidding me You're giving a girl this Do you even have a brain"

Tanaka Hirokazu burst into laughter at once. In his view, he had been tricked himself and had no choice but to give the log to Watanabe Keiko.

So he wanted to take the opportunity to make fun of her, hoping to win her affection.

But she disappointed him, 渡邊結衣 glared at him fiercely: "It's none of your business. I like anything that Ye Jun gives me."

After finishing, she happily took the wooden stake and carefully placed it by her feet.

"Uh..."

Tanaka Kouji suddenly felt like he had eaten a fly, disgusted. Everything he did was wrong, while that Chinese kid did everything right.

At this point, he could only place all his hope in the sword he had chosen.

Kei Watanabe comes from a family of martial artists. She loves swords in her daily life. As long as he gives her that gift, perhaps he can win her heart.

The auction continued, items being sold one by one, until the very last moment when Tanaka Koji's desired sword appeared.

This dagger is called the Bone Girl's Knife, forged by Bai Cao Zhi, a master craftsman from the Great Dog Country a hundred years ago. Because of its origins, it was placed as the final item up for auction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our last item for today's auction is the Bone Girl Sword, crafted by the master Bai Cao Zhi. I won't bore you with details you already know. The starting bid is $1 million, with each increase no less than $100,000. Let the bidding commence!"

As a seasoned auctioneer, I needn't say much about this blade. The name "Hundred Herb Stag" alone is enough to ensure eager bidding.

As soon as the auction began, Tanaka Kouji slammed his fist on the table and shouted, “I bid $10 million!”

He immediately raised the starting price tenfold, demonstrating his unwavering determination.

This caused everyone else in the room to immediately back down. Firstly, 10 million was already a high price. Most importantly, the other party was Tanaka Kōji from the Tanaka family. No one dared to compete with him for something.

The auctioneer shouted, "Gentlemen, are there any further bids Ten million once, ten million twice..."

"20 million."

Ye Bufan raised the bidding card in his hand and once again doubled Tanaka Hirokazu's price.

"What are you going to do, Chinese people"

Seeing Ye Bufan come to bid against him again, Tanaka Hiroji's expression was grim, as if he could drip water.

"What are you doing Of course, I'm bidding. Is this auction your family's, and you don't allow others to make bids"

Before Ye Bufan could speak, Watanabe Keiko launched into a scathing rebuke.

"I..."

Tanaka Hiroji glared venomously at Ye Bufan, then called out again, "30 million..."

"40 million…"

Ye Bufan didn't hesitate, and directly added another 10 million.

The beautiful auctioneer was delighted. The more these two people fought, the more commission she earned in the end.

"This gentleman bid 40 million, are there any further bids..."

"50 million..."

Tanaka Kouji continued to raise the bid.

"60 million…"

"One hundred million..."

Tanaka Koji was also furious and directly raised the price to one hundred million US dollars.

"Kid, if you're serious, then raise the price."

“Actually, I didn't want this rusty old sword at all. I just wanted to help you drive up the price.”

Ye Bufan smirked: "You, a yin-yang master, buying a sword is already ridiculous enough, but spending 100 million dollars on such a broken blade You must be crazy."hem, to vent our anger."Alright, since we've decided on our target, let's start planning the operation."Ye Bufan recounted the grievances between Su Ruyue and Gao's family with Zheng's family once mor...
