Chapter 101


    Wilbur was surprised to hear the name. What a coincidence!


    Just then, the shop owner and several guests there got a shock as well. Kenji had made quite a name


    for himself.


    The shop owner walked over, bowing to Kenji. “Mr. Lilith! It’s an honor to have you in my shop.”


    “Of course it is,” Kenji said haughtily.


    The shop owner said, “However, I’m afraid that bidding has always been Octocharm Town’s way of


    doing things.”


    “I said we can do it your way, didn’t 17” Kenji said coldly.


    The shop owner nodded with a smile,ing in front of Wilbur “Sir, do you have any objection to this?”


    “No.”


    Wilbur was just going to follow the rules as he did not care too much.


    Just then, the shop owner said, “Alright, then. Everyone here can act as a witness. Let the bidding


    begin.”

    Everyone was excited, crowding over eagerly. After all, this hardly happened anymore.


    The crowd sat down, sipping their tea while they waited for the show to start


    The shop owner looked around him before saying. “The starting price of this stone will be a hundred


    and twenty thousand dors, and each offer will increase the bid by ten thousand dors. Let’s begin!”


    Kenji said at once, “A hundred thirty thousand.”


    “One-forty” Wilbur did not hesitate either. The stone seemed pretty dense, so it surely held something


    precious.


    “One-fifty.”


    “One-sixty!”


    “Two hundred.” Kenji raised the price immediately, then calmly took a sip of his tea


    Wilbur paused, before saying, “Two hundred and tea thousand.”


    Kenji’s expression darkened. “Two hundred and twenty thousand.”


    Wilbur was calm, merely adding ten thousand every time he called out. The price of the rock began to


    rise.


    The crowd broke out into whispers, muttering among themselves.


    A whileter, Wilbur’s offer went up to two hundred and righty thousand dors.


    Kenji said, “Three hundred thousand!”


    The onlookers were getting excited. The price of the rock had reached almost three hundred thousand


    dors, which was no


    small amount!


    On top of that, Kenji was a pretty famous businessman with a worth of almost fifty million dors.


    Meanwhile, Wilbur was just a nobody, yet it was impressive that he had a few hundred thousand dors


    to spare to gamble on a rock.


    A brief pause Later, Wilbur said slowly, “Three hundred and ten thousand ”


    Kenji’s expression darkened. The crowd was also surprised


    Wilbur was not going easy on Kenji at all! Was he really that sure that the rock was worth it?


    “Four hundred thousand.” Kenji decided to raise the price drastically


    The crowd gasped. Kenji definitely had the money, and he was clearly starting to get annoyed.


    Everyone thought that Wilbur should just give up by now. The risk would only grow if they kept betting.

    The rock was only so big. Even if the jade inside was valuable, the buyer would still be making a loss if


    it was not dense enough.


    Besides, talking such a risk while also getting on Kenji’s bad side was truly not worth it. Many people in


    the room knew that Kenji was more than just a businessman.


    Yet just then, Wilbur increased the bid once again. “Four hundred and ten thousand.”


    The crowd shook their heads. That guy was getting out of hand


    Kenji was looking highly displeased by then. His eyes took on a murderous look as he called out, “Five


    hundred thousand.”


    “What the…”


    The crowd had not expected Renji to increase the bid that drastically once again. This time, he was


    clearly angry.


    “Five hundred and ten thousand,” Wilbur responded calmly.
