Chapter 129: A bonus time bomb!

More importantly,

the one bidding at this moment is a Celestial Dragon!

These wealthy and noble people on the Sabaody Archipelago

often abuse the slaves they buy to satisfy their perverted mental needs,

and Celestial Dragons are the representative figures of this!

If Lina were to fall into the hands of a Celestial Dragon,

it would probably be a fate worse than death in the true sense!

What to do?

What on earth should he do?

At this very moment,

the black-robed person was anxious,

racking his brain for a countermeasure!

At the same time,

after the bid of 1 billion Berries was shouted,

When the price of 1 billion Berries was called out,

amidst the gasps of the whole venue,

no one dared to raise the bid for a while!

This time,

it was not that the crowd feared the Celestial Dragon and dared not bid,

but simply that they couldn't afford it!

1 billion Berries,

this was already a sky-high price!

A mermaid,

even a female mermaid with a beautiful figure,

is simply not worth this price!

In recent years,

due to Fish-Man Island and other factors,

capturing mermaids has become more difficult,

and mermaids appearing at auctions have become increasingly rare!

But rare does not mean non-existent;

as the Sabaody Archipelago, the most prosperous place for human trafficking,

every once in a while,

mermaids would still appear at auctions!

Normally,

the price of a female mermaid

is around 200-300 million Berries,

occasionally selling for 300-400 million Berries,

and 500 million Berries is already a price that can absolutely kill the competition!

Now,

this Celestial Dragon directly shouted 1 billion Berries,

twice as high as the previous "kill" price!

Such a sky-high price,

not to mention how many people present still have the capital to bid,

even if they did,

they wouldn't spend over a billion Berries to buy such a mermaid!

This isn't even a matter of whether it's worth it or not;

this is just having more money than sense!

The crowd in the auction house quieted down,

but the auctioneer was already jumping with excitement!

This wave...

this wave is called a turnaround!

Just a moment ago,

the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which could have fetched a sky-high price,

was snatched away by this Celestial Dragon for 500 million Berries,

causing him to lose a large amount of profit for nothing!

However,

just when his heart was filled with sorrow,

the mermaid, who at most would have fetched 400-500 million Berries,

was raised to 1 billion Berries in one breath by this Celestial Dragon!

In this way,

not only was the loss from the Rumble-Rumble Fruit compensated,

but he even made a good profit!

For a time,

looking at that fat Celestial Dragon,

the auctioneer found him more and more pleasing to the eye!

This is no Celestial Dragon,

this is clearly a big philanthropist!

The auctioneer steadied his mind,

and shouted with excitement:

"This honorable Celestial Dragon bids 1 billion Berries!"

"1 billion Berries, going once!"

"Is there anyone who will bid higher?"

"1 billion Berries, going twice!"

At this time,

the Celestial Dragon sat in his seat,

his eyes fixed on the mermaid in the fish tank,

his eyes full of undisguised desire!

For this mermaid,

he was determined to win!

1 billion Berries was enough to prove his determination!

Not to mention that his deterrent power from killing someone earlier was still there,

even just with this bid of 1 billion,

it was impossible for anyone to compete with him!

Seemingly having already imagined the happy scene after bringing this mermaid home,

the corners of the Celestial Dragon’s mouth couldn't help but rise,

revealing a rather exaggerated smile!

However,

looking at this scene,

Li Xiao’s expression changed slightly,

and his expression became somewhat strange!

At this moment,

he suddenly wanted to lean into the Celestial Dragon’s ear and tell him,

you are too happy too soon!

If you were only bidding for the mermaid, there would be no problem,

and the subsequent plot development

would probably be just as the Celestial Dragon imagined!

But the key is,

bidding for this mermaid

comes with a bonus time bomb!

Bringing that old man Rayleigh home,

you must be afraid of living too safely!

Rayleigh coming to the auction house

was not really to sell himself as a slave!

He came here

for nothing more than two purposes!

First,

pay off all the money he previously owed at the casino by selling himself!

Second,

rob the property of his future buyer,

to use as his next gambling stake!

However,

having said that,

if this mermaid is truly bought by a Celestial Dragon,

then will Lei Li, who is taken along as a bonus,

make a move to rob the Celestial Dragon?

Regarding this,

Li Xiao is actually quite looking forward to it!

According to Li Xiao's speculation,

Lei Li has likely never encountered this situation before!

Although it is not his first time being sold to an auction house,

however,

those who bid for him in the past

were usually just ordinary wealthy people or nobles,

and these Celestial Dragons would not be interested in an old man!

But this time,

the auction house did a "buy one get one free,"

and Lei Li was bought by a Celestial Dragon as a bonus!

After being taken away,

Lei Li making a move is inevitable!

Li Xiao is just quite curious,

will Lei Li take the opportunity to rob the Celestial Dragon?

After all,

Celestial Dragons are so wealthy,

if he robs them just once,

he won't lack gambling stakes for the casino in the future!

Or perhaps,

will he go all the way,

and simply kill the Celestial Dragon as well!

At this moment,

Li Xiao remembered the Rumble-Rumble Fruit that was just auctioned off by that Celestial Dragon!

Looking at it this way,

that so-called Rumble-Rumble Fruit,

is really looking more and more like a Suicide Fruit!

And this fruit's ability is too strong, right!

It hasn't even reached their hands yet,

and it's already starting to take effect?

However,

this time it seems to have nothing to do with Li Xiao!

Meanwhile,

after waiting for a moment and seeing no one in the auction house bidding,

the auctioneer slowly shouted the final sentence!

"1 billion Berries, going once!"

"Congratulations to this honorable Celestial Dragon for bidding 1 billion Berries to win this beautiful mermaid from Fish-Man Island—Lina!"
