Chapter 211: Prince Huai vs Wuhou Residence?

"Wuhou Residence, bid 130 hundred million!"

"The 130 hundred million bid is ten hundred million higher than Yun Hengqiu's 120 hundred million."

"It seems conservative, but anyone can hear the warning in that tone."

"This is originally Wuhou Residence's item; you, Yun Hengqiu, have no right to covet!"

"But Yun Hengqiu seems to have completely missed that implication."

"He even lazily stretched a yawn, his face still bearing that arrogant smile."

"Without waiting for Duanmu Ya to speak, he directly shouted loudly."

"I bid 180 hundred million!"

"180 hundred million?"

"When that was said, the whole venue instantly erupted in an even louder uproar, many people widened their mouths in Shock, their eyes full of Shock."

"From 130 hundred million straight to 180 hundred million, a single breath jumped by 50 hundred million!"

"This is no auction at all, it's literally burning money! Yun Hengqiu's bid is just too huge!"

"My god, add fifty hundred million just like that? Is Yun Hengqiu really rich or just pretending?"

"180 hundred million! Even top-tier rich in Jiangcheng don't have such a valuation…"

"Crazy, for a Tiger Talisman, this is to empty the whole fortune!"

"The discussion inside the venue instantly became noisy."

"Even Duanmu Ya on the High Platform subconsciously gripped the microphone tightly, clearly also startled by this sudden price hike."

"Yun Hengqiu seems to really enjoy this feeling of being in the spotlight."

"He looked around the whole venue, then fixed his gaze on the Wuhou Residence, a teasing curve lifting the corner of his mouth."

"I say, Marquis, a dignified Wuhou Residence, do you only increase the bid by ten hundred million each time? Isn't that too stingy? This Tiger Talisman is a national treasure, and that's all the sincerity you show?"

"When that was said, the whole venue instantly fell silent, a pin could be heard dropping."

"Everyone inhaled a breath of cold air, thinking silently that Yun Hengqiu's nerve is just too big!"

"He actually dares to publicly mock the Wuhou Residence!"

"One should know that the Wuhou Residence Xiao Po Zhan is not some idle noble."

"He is one of the few remaining top-tier nobles in the empire who hold real power, defending Nanjiang for decades, commanding tens of thousands of elite troops."

"In the Nanjiang territory, his word is law; even Imperial Clan members from Kyoto must give him some deference."

"Yun Hengqiu dares to tease him like this, isn't he afraid of being buried alive by the Nanjiang Army?"

"Has Yun Hengqiu eaten a bear's heart and a Leopard's gallbladder? To dare speak like that about the Wuhou Residence?"

"Did you forget? He is Prince Huai's brother-in-law! Prince Huai is a proper Prince, a rank higher than the Wuhou Residence's title; being a Prince's brother-in-law naturally gives him confidence!"

"That may be so, but Prince Huai is just an idle Imperial Family member, with no soldiers or power; if he truly offends the Wuhou Residence, will he get any good fruit?"

"Are you stupid? This is the Yitian Pavilion Auction Hall; no matter how powerful the Wuhou Residence is, he wouldn't dare act here! Moreover, this is not something we can get involved in; just be an honest onlooker, don't speak recklessly!"

"The Crowd's discussion swirled, but soon returned to calm."

"After all, involving a conflict of this level between Prince Huai and the Wuhou Residence, a slight misstep would backfire, and no one wants to be the one who sticks out."

"Jiangnan Wang sat in his seat, a hint of smile flashing in his eyes."

"Yun Hengqiu, that useless guy, indeed still has some use."

"Jiang Feng also leaned back in his chair, eyes closed, as if the bidding inside the venue had nothing to do with him."

"Xiao Po Zhan heard Yun Hengqiu's mockery, his complexion instantly turning iron-blue."

"His fist clenched tightly, the killing aura around him almost spilling out."

"After a few seconds, the Wuhou Residence slowly released his fist, squinting."

"Wuhou Residence, bid 200 hundred million!"

"After saying that, he even added a sentence deliberately."

"According to the Marquis's understanding, you, Yun Hengqiu, total net worth is just over 300 hundred million; you shouldn't be able to produce this 200 hundred million cash, right? Don't end up winning the auction and then can't pay, losing Prince Huai's face and also your Yun family conglomerate's face!"

"Those words directly hit Yun Hengqiu's sore spot; his expression changed slightly, a hint of Panic flashing in his eyes."

"But he quickly covered it up."

"He let out a Cold Smile, stiffening his neck."

"I won't bother the Marquis with the settlement! Since Yitian Pavilion dared to let me enter, they must have verified my finances! Forget it, I'm too lazy to haggle here; I'll go straight to the point, I bid 300 hundred million!"

"300 hundred million?"

"The whole venue erupted completely, everyone sprang to their feet, eyes full of disbelief."

"300 hundred million, that's already an astronomical sum; even top-tier conglomerates would have to empty most of their assets to produce it!"

"Moreover, why would Yun Hengqiu, a wealthy merchant, risk his life for a Tiger Talisman?"

"Could Prince Huai have some intention regarding the Nanjiang Army?"

"Many people's eyes flickered."

"Indeed, Yun Hengqiu's current behavior is utterly incomprehensible."

"My god, 300 hundred million! This is to auction the Tiger Talisman to a sky-high price!"

"Yun Hengqiu is crazy, right? For a Tiger Talisman, emptying his entire fortune?"

"Now, what will the Wuhou Residence do? After a century of accumulation in Nanjiang, can they produce 300 hundred million?"

"The entire hall at this moment became a chaotic mess because of this single price."

"Even the Yitian Pavilion guards couldn't help but stretch their necks toward the High Platform; they have appeared at many Auction Hall scenes, but such a high price is unprecedented."

"A national treasure, truly a national treasure."

"The Wuhou Residence's complexion darkened instantly, as if water could drip from it, the murderous intent in his eyes could no longer be concealed."

He stared fixedly at Yun Hengqiu; if Here weren't the Yitian Pavilion's territory, he would probably have rushed up to act already.

Nevertheless, he still forced down the Anger in his heart, and subconsciously turned his head toward the front‑row Jiang Feng, only to find Jiang Feng still with his eyes closed, as if he hadn't taken the three hundred billion quote to heart at all.

Lu Xiao, who was sitting beside him, suddenly Standing up.

Lu Xiao leaned close to his ear and lowered his voice.

"Wuhou, Long Shou has already issued an order, the Dragon Group can provide you with fifty billion of funding support; be sure the Tiger Talisman does not fall into the hands of those with ulterior motives!"

Lei Zhen also nodded beside him.

"Marquis, rest assured, this fifty billion is already prepared and ready, and can be mobilized at any time!"

Zhennan Wuhou heard this, was first stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded toward Lu Xiao.

"Thank the Dragon Group, and also thank Long Shou on behalf of the Marquis!"

Long Shou, although not a noble aristocrat, holds a lofty position in the Empire; his support, to some extent, also represents the Empire's will.

With the Dragon Group's fifty billion support, his confidence instantly grew considerably.

He took a deep breath, looked again at the High Platform, and his voice rang Throughout the venue.

"Zhennan Wuhou Residence, offering three hundred fifty billion!"

When those words were spoken, the venue fell into dead silence instantly, and everyone stared dumbly at Zhennan Wuhou.

Three hundred fifty billion, this already far exceeds everyone's expectations; even with Nanjiang's Hundred years of accumulation, pulling out so much money would probably cause Injury to muscles and Bone!

"Three hundred fifty billion?"

Yun Hengqiu, who heard the quote, at this moment turned a ghastly pale.
