Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God-Chapter 750: Money to Spend, No Life to Enjoy
And Qian Bin's lips were draped with a radiant smile as he threw a scornful glance at the Luo family man and said, "One hundred and fifty billion!"
Upon hearing these words, the man from the Luo family turned pale, his eyes nearly bulging out—one hundred and fifty billion had surpassed his own limit.
The Prince of Laites City was not to be outdone and bid, "One hundred and fifty-five billion!"
"One hundred and sixty billion!" Qian Bin called out.
The two kept raising the stakes by fifty million each time, and when the price soared to two hundred billion, Ye Ling noticed both their expressions were far from pleasant.
"One hundred and eighty billion!" Qian Bin gritted his teeth and directly raised the price to one hundred and eighty billion.
Although the Prince was a prince of the Leiths royal family, it was still no small figure for him.
Two hundred billion was already the maximum he could bear; if he continued to bid, he might have to stake his very last bit of family fortune.
However, Qian Bin's nature was just so—the stronger the opposition, the stronger he became. If he hadn't met anyone more powerful than himself, perhaps he would have shown some restraint.
But now, having met the stubborn Prince of Laites, he had set his mind on it—today, he was going to outlast the Prince of Laites City.
Ye Ling secretly clicked his tongue in wonder; they were indeed a group of wealthy people. His own savings barely reached twenty billion, yet here was Qian Bin, spending the astronomical figure of two hundred billion with such grandeur.
However, Ye Ling noticed something—the ever-silent Gu Qi, sitting in the front row, hadn't shown the slightest hint of activity. He wore a faint smile, seemingly unaffected by the fierce bidding war.
In Gu Qi's heart, he must be convinced the Ice Frost Sword was destined for him, and thus he saw no need to partake in the affair.
"Two hundred billion!" the Prince of Laites City took a deep breath and once again named a price.
"Three hundred billion!" Gu Qi, who had been quiet all this time, directly declared
a price that shocked everyone, pulling down the recently escalated price by a notch—three hundred billion, a truly terrifying figure!
Not just the Leiths royal family and Gu Qi, all those present were utterly stunned; it was a staggering increase of one hundred billion!
At this time, the countenances of the Leiths royal family members looked somewhat gloomy, but they quickly regained their composure.
The Prince of Laites City said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, "Ha ha, the Gu family of Telo City, what a substantial sum you wield—three hundred billion for such a broken sword, are you sure?"
Hearing the words of the Leiths royal family, Gu Qi smiled slightly and calmly replied.
"Indeed, our Gu family is wealthy. If you're dissatisfied, just keep bidding. However, I can tell you that no matter how desperately the Leiths royal house competes, the Ice Frost Sword is not destined for Laites City!"
"Ha ha, such arrogance from the Gu family, but it's a shame if you have the money to spend and no life to enjoy it!" the members of the Leiths royal family responded with a sneer after listening.
It was a threat, a blatant threat, but Gu Qi paid them no heed. Instead, his gaze was sharply fixed on the stage, awaiting the final judgment. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
"Three hundred million, are there no more bids from anyone?" Zhu Mei asked, looking down at the crowd with a beaming smile.
"Thirty million once!" Zhu Mei cleared her throat and said, "Thirty million twice!"
"Thirty million three times! Congratulations to the Gu family for successfully purchasing the Ice Frost Sword for thirty million!" Zhu Mei declared with a gavel strike, her face flushed and eyes blinking in apparent satisfaction with her own performance.
"Humph!" The Prince of Leiths's expression changed unpredictably, as he shot a resentful glance at a guard standing by his side and growled in a low voice, "Let's go!"
Following that, one by one, the attendees of the auction gradually left, leaving only Gu Qi sitting there calmly, his lips curved in an indifferent smile.
He seemed oblivious to the events to come, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
Ye Ling glanced at the communicator and said to Gao Quan and the others, "Let's go. Xia Qing has already sent me the location, let's go to the agreed place and be Gu Qi's bodyguards."
Ye Ling and his companions strolled leisurely to the agreed spot where, after Xia Qing opened the door for them, they saw that Gu Qi was already inside the room.
Not only him but also his guards, as well as a couple named Lian Hua and Qin Yuntian.
When Lian Hua saw Ye Ling and the others, a glint of cold light flashed in the depths of her pupils, and then she spoke, "What's the deal with these youngsters? They can't possibly be here to be bodyguards, can they?"
Lian Hua's voice was somewhat shrill and piercing, causing Ye Ling to involuntarily frown, but he did not respond and went straight to Gu Qi's side, with a slight smile, "Hello."
Xia Qing nodded at Gu Qi, "Cousin, this is the person I told you about. Don't be fooled by their young age; their combat experience is absolutely vast!"
After finishing her words, Xia Qing turned to introduce Ye Ling and his companions, and her cousin Gu Qi nodded with a small smile, "If my cousin Xia Qing recommended you, then you must be excellent!"
Ye Ling smiled and said, "Rest assured, the few of us guarantee not to disappoint you. Oh, about the fee, should we take it now or after it's over?"
"Now would be fine!"
Gu Qi, indeed a man of substantial wealth, directly handed Ye Ling an energy stone card, "There are a total of thirty billion on it, for the cost of hiring the five of you."
Ye Ling didn't refuse, took the energy stone card directly, and smiled heartily, "Then I'll thank you in advance for your generous support!"
Gu Qi looked around at the people in the room and said, "We now have ten saints-level powerhouses; going back to Telo City should pose no problems."
Xia Qing and Xia Xue also playfully clung to Gu Qi's arm, pleading, "Cousin, I wish to stay and join you all. I want to learn from your strength!"
Gu Qi affectionately stroked Xia Xue's long hair and agreed with a nod, "Alright, since you want to stay, I won't stop you, but you must be obedient."
Then Gu Qi looked at the others and said with a smile, "I'm sure everyone is clear about the mission this time: to escort me back to Telo City. To be precise, to escort the Ice Frost Sword."
"This journey is bound to be fraught with danger. Whether it's the four major families or the Prince of Laites City, any could pose a threat, so I hope everyone can unite and move together to reach Telo City as soon as possible."
After Gu Qi finished speaking, everyone nodded, showing an understanding demeanor.
"Don't worry, we will all unite. After all, we are all bodyguards hired by you and will do our utmost," Qin Yuntian and his wife also nodded in agreement.
