"Help me?" Kuroki Suzu was so furious she could have coughed up blood, barely suppressing the urge to strangle Ye Xiu. "The price of a Marrow Cleansing Pill wouldn't exceed 300 million at most, but you just raised it to one billion. Is that what you call helping me?"
"You underestimate the determination of the people here to get the Marrow Cleansing Pill. The price will definitely exceed two billion," Ye Xiu asserted confidently.
Kuroki Suzu snorted. "Do you think everyone at this auction is a fool? Forget two billion, no one besides me would bid over 300 million."
At that moment, the host surveyed the room and asked in a booming voice, "Number 19 bids one billion. Is there anyone else willing to raise? One billion going once, one billion going twice..."
"One billion and one million," bidder number 37 raised their placard.
SMACK!
