Chapter 624: The Strongest's Relic! Secret Realm Key!

"5.5 million!"

"6 million!"

"6.3 million!"

"......"

The first-floor lobby of the Hilton Hotel.

Elena in her cage was pale-faced, yet the bidding price for her kept soaring.

Xu Jingming in his seat, puzzled by Eva's sudden remark, asked:

"Why buy her?"

"She's got a great treasure on her!"

Eva's excited voice rang out, "But whether it's really the thing I'm thinking of, I'll only know after getting up close."

A great treasure?

Eva was a rare intelligent lifeform; the information in her database could truly be called an ocean.

Since she said it was a great treasure, it was most likely right on the mark.

So Xu Jingming didn't hesitate any longer and decisively entered a price on his bidding device:

"7 million!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing Ling Shuang beside him gave Xu Jingming a surprised glance.

But thinking that Xu Jingming was at an age full of vigor and vitality, after her red lips parted slightly, she ultimately closed them again without saying a word.

"7.3 million!"

"7.4 million!"

"7.6 million!"

"......"

Although these people were all ability-users, they had long lost the drive to continue cultivating.

They didn't need to buy cultivation resources; every bit of money they earned went toward pleasure.

Naturally, each of them was rolling in wealth.

Xu Jingming's bid of 7 million had barely landed before it was swiftly drowned out by higher bids, without even a brief pause.

"Seat No. 11, 10 million!"

Just as the price was still climbing past 8 million, a sudden surge of two million silenced the entire lobby.

"It's that old Sam guy."

"Sh*t! Just how much has this old bastard embezzled from the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce?"

"Forget it, can't outbid him."

"......"

Seat No. 11 belonged to the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce's procurement director, Sam, who had placed the first bid.

At this moment, over at his seat.

Besides the four cat-type girls he had won at the very start, there were now three or four more girls.

Truly a feast of beauties, each with her own distinct style.

Seeing that it was Old Sam bidding, most of the people present extinguished any thought of competing.

Ten million Blue Star coins was already an extremely high price.

Even a princess of the West Lan Duchy's royal family wouldn't be worth that price.

More crucially, no one wanted to cross this guy.

Although Sam himself was only fifth-tier, he had two peak sixth-tier bodyguards protecting him.

And most of the people present were only fourth-tier or fifth-tier.

"Ten million, first call!"

"Any higher? This Elena's support-type ability is said to also have life-extending effects."

"Ten million, second call!"

A smile spread across Mike's face as he kept talking.

Although a price of ten million Blue Star coins was already quite good.

He still kept emphasizing Elena's advantages, hoping to push the price up another wave.

"Seat No. 23, 15 million!"

Just as everyone thought Elena would be sold at this price, suddenly another entirely new price was announced.

"15 million! Any higher?" Mike's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly shouted again.

Sam in his seat frowned and bid once more: "20 million!"

Yet the moment he finished bidding, the announcement from the bidding device rang out again: "30 million!"

"30 million Blue Star coins! Who is this person, so extravagant?"

"Seat No. 23, let me take a look."

"Hiss! What an exquisite woman! That face, that figure, simply incredible!"

"......"

Gaze after gaze turned toward Xu Jingming's side.

Upon seeing Hearing Ling Shuang beside him in a black evening gown, everyone's breath hitched at once.

Their gazes instantly grew fervent.

Rising from the sofa with anger, Sam, who looked over this way, was likewise somewhat dazzled.

The fury on his face rapidly dissipated, his eyes narrowed, and he shouted at Xu Jingming:

"A sixth-tier mid-rank ability user—no wonder you dare to steal my woman from me.

But you don't know, I am the supervisor of the Silver Moon Trading Company!

Right outside the hotel are my two sixth-tier peak-rank bodyguards!

The moment I give the order, they'll rush in and make sure you don't see tomorrow's sun!"

First came a round of threats, then his tone abruptly shifted, and he said softly:

"But then again, I'm a kind-hearted person.

Once the ceremony begins later, if you can take the initiative to send your woman and Elena over to me,

then I can still spare you."

Having said that, without waiting for Xu Jingming's response, he sat back down fully satisfied.

He believed that, under the deterrence of the Silver Moon Trading Company and sixth-tier peak-rank ability users, this guy would absolutely make the wisest choice.

"Kind-hearted, is it? I'll let you know soon what true kindness really is!"

Xu Jingming's face turned cold, and the look in his eyes as he gazed at Sam was already like looking at a dead man.

"Thirty million, first call!"

"Thirty million, second call!"

"Thirty million, third call—sold!"

"Congratulations to the gentleman in seat number 23, on successfully purchasing Elena!"

Under normal circumstances, Elena selling for 10 million Blue Star coins would already be considered not bad.

30 million Blue Star coins is absolutely an incomparably high price!

One could tell that Mike was extremely excited.

In his high-pitched voice, the deal was struck.

Elena, wearing electronic shackles in her cage, was also released by the attendant and led over to stand before Xu Jingming.

"Sir, this is the merchandise you purchased for thirty million Blue Star coins."

Saying so, he handed over a card-swiping machine.

"Hearing Ling Shuang, the money on my bank card isn't enough—can you help me cover it first?"

Xu Jingming's bank card had less than three billion Great Xia coins on it; converted to Blue Star coins, it wasn't even enough for thirty million.

Hearing Ling Shuang said nothing more, simply taking out her own bank card.

Such a scene left the man in the seat beside them staring in stunned disbelief.

Eating soft rice the hard way!

Good lord! You can actually play it like this?

"The God of Desire be with you."

After confirming the bank card payment had arrived, the attendant's face lit up with joy; after offering a religious salute, he handed over a controller:

"This is the controller for Elena's electronic shackles. It has three settings, which can control the electronic shackles to release electric shocks of varying intensity.

The last button is for releasing the electronic shackles.

We suggest that before completing the final breaking-in, you do not lightly press that last button."

After giving his instructions, the attendant respectfully withdrew.

Xu Jingming also subconsciously looked toward Elena.

One had to admit, this Princess of Xilan was indeed beautiful, and her figure was likewise curvaceous in all the right places.

Because of her prolonged flight, she looked somewhat bedraggled and weak.

Precisely because of this, it could better arouse a man's protective instinct.

But for Xu Jingming, who had Hearing Ling Shuang by his side, this held not the slightest attraction.

What interested him far more was the great treasure Eva had mentioned.

"I've brought the person to you. What great treasure? Hurry up and confirm it." Xu Jingming asked inwardly.

"It's already been confirmed. See the bracelet on her wrist? That is the great treasure!"

Eva's excited voice rang out.

Xu Jingming looked over at the sound, and sure enough, on Elena's right hand he saw an emerald-green bracelet.

But this bracelet looked extremely simple, not even giving off the energy fluctuation of a guardian talisman, as if it were an ordinary item.

Just as Xu Jingming was about to ask, he heard Eva continue:

"Remember the stone that ninth-tier expert used to open the secret-realm space when you went to the Clear Peak Secret Realm a month ago?

This bracelet, like that stone, is likewise a relic of a supreme expert of the Second Era, and can be used to open a secret-realm space!"
