CHAPTER 454 THE GENEROUS BIDDING PRICE

"Is that the bastard calling out again?" the young master immediately asked after recognizing Ricky's

voice. He stood up from where he was sitting and gestured for the maid to leave him alone. He walked

towards the window and contemplated. He stood there, silently watching.

He cared about this egg very much because it was exactly the treasure his father wanted to have.

His father was a completed spiritual king. Once he successfully refined the egg, his power would

significantly be enhanced. On top of it, he would be much closer to an demi-spiritual emperor.

His father valued the egg immensely, so he was sent to take part in this auction. The young master had

his full attention as he heard Ricky engage in the bidding. His father would be extremely disappointed if

he lost this prized item. The consequences would be dire—it would be his own demise.

"Increase the price to one million!" the young master dramatically boomed. He would go at whatever

lengths just to take this one home. "That bastard will know that we are a force to be reckoned with! We

have enough gold coins to take this one home!"

"Yes, young master!" The old man nodded and did as he was ordered.

"One million gold coins!" Immediately, a voice thundered amid the crowd participating in the auction.

"One million? Unbelievable! These big organizations are so affluent!" a man sighed in mixed

disappointment and incredulity.

"Indeed! They never run out of money!"

"One million? Well, that's perfect! I'm starting to look forward to the final price now. The increased

money next will be the net profit!" Vito murmured to himself when he heard someone call out one

million gold coins. He felt very excited about the next event to unfold.

Usually, the value of an egg with a fifty-percent chance of hatching would only be around one million

gold coins. The possibility of it being a waste hindered it from being escalated to a higher price.

"Is this a display of strength?" Ricky sneered coldly when he heard the old man's bid.

"How many gold coins do you have, Ricky? It has escalated to a million now. I'm afraid that by the end

of the sale, the egg is going to cost roughly around two million," Soar said as he furrowed his brows.

"When I was in the Land of Legacy of the Fortune Land, I got one point two million gold coins. Plus, I

have collected approximately six hundred thousand gold coins through all these years in the past,"

Ricky said.

"Those insignificant Treasures from Heaven and Earth I have acquired and the mortal weapons would

be around four hundred thousand. I have almost two point two million gold coins in total!"

"Are you determined to win the egg no matter what? I'm sorry I can't help you. I have no money to offer

you," Soar apologized awkwardly as he scratched his head.

Despite being a Great Dragon, he was financially incapable.

"It will be worth it once I enter the Oriental College at the cost of two point two gold coins. Don't you

think so?" Ricky asked.

He had been steadfast to become even more powerful ever since Grace was taken away by the

Phoenix tribe. He was desperate to gain more energy and improve his abilities. For any opportunity that

might come in his way, he would seize it just to become stronger. Shelling out as high as two point two

million was nothing as long as the egg was useful. Even if it would cost more than that, he would figure

out a way to collect the money he needed to win the egg.

There was a glint of determination in Ricky's eyes. Tina saw it and she couldn't help but admire him all

the more. But deep inside her heart, she knew what all this fuss was for—it was all for Grace.

'All he thinks about is Grace. Do I have a place in his heart?' Tina felt a pang in her heart.

"One million

and ten thousand!"

"One million

and twenty thousand!"

The bids kept going higher and higher. As the price of the egg rose, more warriors stopped participating

in the bidding. Even the more affluent warriors situated on the third floor gave up.

Forces or organizations which had a completed spiritual king were the highest bidders. Most of the

warriors were unable to compete with the money those rich forces were willing to shell out.

Thanks to the fortune Ricky inherited from an upper spiritual king, he was able to keep up with the

wealthier participants. If it weren't, he would be financially incapable of going far; it would be impossible

for him to acquire the egg.

The organizations who had a completed spiritual king had approximately more than two point two

million gold coins left in their stash. Despite this, they would never entirely consume everything just for

one item. With this, Ricky's chances of winning rose.

"One point two million!" the old man from the Golden Leopard called out.

"Ha-ha! It seems that the Golden Leopard Valley is determined to win the egg. Well, we decide to give

up!" some warriors exclaimed after hearing the exorbitant amount.

"Thank you, my friends," the old man said.

They gave in not because they were threatened by the Golden Leopard Valley; they just found it

wasteful to spend millions for the egg. Their masters or leaders did not cultivate methods with gold

attribute like what the leader of the Golden Leopard Valley did, after all.

And besides, they were still waiting on two more items for auction. They believed that they were going

to be more precious than the egg.

"One point three million!" a man droned from another private room.

"I think the spiritual king beast of the Golden Rhino tribe is bidding from that private room!" a warrior

cried after recognizing the voice.

"Oh, the Golden Rhino tribe also cultivates the methods with gold attribute. What's more, they are also

beasts! I'm sure they are determined to win the egg too!

The egg is from a holy beast, after all!"

"The Golden Leopard Valley and the Golden Rhino tribe. Good! There are only two forces left copyrighted © content.

competing with us," Ricky whispered.

"One point four million!" Without a beat, Ricky bade on the egg higher.

"That bastard is quite rich, isn't he?" the young master observed, obviously annoyed. "One point five

million!" He immediately challenged the price Ricky gave without even waiting for the old man to

respond.

"One point six million!"

"One point seven million!"

Before long, the bidding price of the egg reached two million gold coins. The offer came from Ricky.

"Really? Two million? Is it really worth that much to win the egg? The odds are against them, after all.

There is only a fifty-percent chance of the egg hatching successfully!" The warriors observing were on

the edge of their seats. They could not believe that the bidding price could have soared to two millions!

"You have no idea! If their leaders can successfully hatch the egg and refine it, they will make

marvelous progress at the completed spiritual king level.

That result is much more valuable than two million gold coins!"

"I hereby declare that we, the Golden Rhino tribe, are conceding! We will no longer bid for the egg," the

beast announced. 'That's one opponent down, ' Ricky thought.

"What a bastard he is! Where is this guy from? He is so determined!" the young master of the Golden

Leopard Valley cursed when he heard the beast's declaration. He was not happy about this at all.

He initially thought they would bring home the egg at roughly around one point six or seven million gold

coins. But now, they had to expend more than their budget.

"Young master, we have to forfeit. We don't have many gold coins left. Your father only allotted two

million for our budget! We cannot exceed. I'm afraid we have to give up on the egg! Let's just bid over

the next item!" the old man also reminded, obviously alarmed with the situation's development.

"Let's try for the last time!" the young master demanded. "Two point one million!" he burst out, all his

vexation bubbling in the surface.

"Two point two million!" Ricky challenged, no hint of uncertainty in his voice.

Despite his tranquil facade, he was hoping that the young master would give up. Two point two million

gold coins was all he had.

"Ricky, I have two spiritual fruits at the King Level. I think their value runs at around four hundred

thousand gold coins. Take them," Tina offered.

"Thank you, Tina," Ricky gratefully replied. He decided to accept her offer; he was in dire need of

money, after all.

"You don't have to thank me. You just gave me a jade at the advanced King Level. It is worth millions of

gold coins!" Tina smiled softly.

"I'll have that bastard drawn and quartered myself after everything is over!" the young master roared in

rage upon hearing Ricky rise the price again.

"Don't worry, young master! We're going to find a way to retrieve that egg! We will figure out a way to

steal it from him!" the old man echoed the frustrations of his young master.

"We, the Golden Leopard Valley, quit!" the old man declared resentfully.

"Yes! We made it, despite the obstacle!" Ricky finally sighed in relief. He couldn't contain the happiness

in his heart.
