Severin smirked as if he did not take Jeremy’s words seriously. He smiled and raised the bid by three


    million. “Then I’ll bid fifteen million dors! The ball is in your court now! Don’t let me down.”


    “This is no time to be impulsive, sir. He’s obviously setting you up! It will no longer be worth the price if


    you raise the bid beyond fifteen million dors,” the bodyguard had to remind Jeremy again.


    Although Jeremy was very upset, he could only grit his teeth in anger. He eventually smiled at Severin


    and said, “Hehe, did you think you could set me up? You just want me to keep raising the price so you


    can cop out at thest minute. I’m not an idiot. I won’t enter a bidding war with you. You can take that


    herb for fifteen million dors. I don’t need that many spiritual herbs. I am from a first–ss family


    anyway.”

    “You’re right! We can’t let him fool us again!” the bodyguards echoed Jeremy’s sentiment and buttered


    him up.


    “That’s fifteen million from Mister Severin! Does anyone else want to make a bid?” Caroline


    announced. When she confirmed that no one else was interested in making any further bids, she said,


    “Fifteen million! Going once going twice… and sold for fifteen million dors to Mister Severin from VIP


    Room one!”


    She then struck her gavel and dered that Severin won the bid for that spiritual herb.


    “You’re amazing, Brother–in–Law! Jeremy gave up because he was afraid of overpaying, while other


    people probably didn’t. want to enter a bidding war with you because you’re from VIP Room One! It


    went so much smoother this time!” Megan remarked to Severin after the herb was sent up to them.


    Severin smiled and said, “I’m quite confident it will continue to proceed smoothly in the future.”


    The items that were put up on auction were mainly spiritual herbs, since they were much easier to


    obtain than training techniques orbat techniques. Unless a person was short of money, hardly


    anyone would be willing to put those up for auction. Of course, some people did put up for auction


    certain things that they did not need but that they took from others by


    force.


    Severin managed to win the bid for ten spiritual herbs in just under an hour. The majority that he


    managed to get were third- grade low–rank herbs, while a few were third–grade high–rank herbs. He


    was very pleased with the result.


    Jeremy no longer dared to enter a bidding war with Severin after being humiliated like that. He acted as


    if he was above their trickery and decided not to participate in any of the bidding. When those in the


    audience below saw that Severin had made a bid, they gave up as well and avoided trying to outbid


    Severin.


    Caroline felt a little speechless as she presided over the auction. After all, the prices of these spiritual


    herbs were beyond their expected target–it was rare for such herbs to be auctioned off at rtively low


    prices. It was a rather unprecedented situation, and one that she could do nothing about.


    “I believe the person in VIP Room one is an alchemist. He’s not interested in any of the second–grade


    spiritual herbs, and he never bids forbat techniques or weapons. He seems to be aiming for third–


    grade spiritual herbs, or spiritual herbs that can be used for alchemy.” The old man in VIP Room Three


    had a bad feeling after making those observations.
