Chapter 860 I an Sincere
Four of them stood outside the hall and chatted for a while. Soon, the second session was about to begin, and the group of people entered the hall again.
They returned to their respective seats. It was only after everyone had taken their seats that they began the auction.
The items in the second session of the auction were naturally much more valuable than the items in the first session.
There were paintings of ancient famous artists, an Imperial seal that had been lost for thousands of years, and a scepter used by the Uqobia royal family.
In short, there were all sorts of rare treasures.
However, maybe it was getting closer to the last treasure, at this time, everyone was much more cautious.
While they stopped looking at the auction items in front of them, all of them were now concentrating, and quietly waiting for the last treasure to appear.
Of course, Isaac had heard about the last treasure. He probably shared the same thoughts with Emmeline and Jara, so he even complained a little.
Then, he turned to Esme and said, "I think the theory of revitalization, or being immortal is all a lie. If you can live for thousands of years, wouldn't you become an old monster?"
Looking at him, Esme smiled faintly. "Even if you're an old monster, it's no big deal. The point is that you won't age. Don't you want that too?"
The smiled on his face froze when he heard that.
Then, he shook his head repeatedly.
"I don't want to."
Upon hearing his answer, Esme revealed a look of disbelief.
But Isaac looked very serious and added. "After all, there is only one treasure, and it can only protect one person's life. If I really use it, when everyone I know is dead, I will be the only person alive. What's the point of that? The most important thing is..."
With a pause, suddenly he said in a very serious tone, "Without you, I don't want to live even if I have another ten thousand years."
When the words came out, Esme's heart froze.
And she seemed to be in a daze.
As she looked at him, neither of them spoke. In such a dark environment, somehow, they could see through each other's thoughts.
In the end, she turned her head with a somewhat uneasy expression and blurted. "Stop talking."
Besides, she almost accepted him as she was really touched.
In the meantime, Isaac had no idea what she was thinking. He just thought that what he had just said was too abrupt, so he quickly said in a low voice. "I'm sorry."
After a pause, he added. "But I'm sincere."
After that, he quieted down and stopped talking.
On the other end, Esme didn't say anything either.
By this time, the auction items in the front had almost been taken.
Finally, it was time for the last item. The Jade of Heaven that everyone was looking forward to see was about to appear.
Suddenly, Emmeline sensed that as soon as the host began to introduce the last item, the audience seemed to quiet down. It was so quiet that even a needle could be heard when it fell to the ground.
Almost everyone held their breaths as they waited for it to appear.
Finally, after the host finished a simple introduction, he announced. "Let's bring up our last item, which is known as a unique treasure that can bring the dead back to life—the Jade of Heaven!"
As his voice fell, the curtain on one side of the stage was pulled open. Two fully armed staff members were pushing out a glass cabinet.
The glass display cabinet was only one and a half meters high, and its height was just as high as the audience's level of sight, so it was easier to see.
In the middle of the glass cabinet, there was a piece of crystal clear jade.
The jade was white, and overall, it was crystal clear. It was rectangularly shaped and was slightly arched. Its width was only about four millimeters.
The small item was lying there quietly, which made everyone stare at it.
Then, the host began to introduce its origins and functions, but Emmeline and Jara recognized it at a glance. That piece of jade was the one that caused the big fight between the Lost Vanguard and the Salvation Club.
She would never mistake it for something else!
Back then, it was precisely because of this small piece of jade that set off the flames of war between both organizations. In the end, it reached a point where it couldn't be controlled.
Meanwhile, Emmeline's eyes darkened, and Jara's face fell as well. Suddenly, both of them raised the sign at the same time.
"80 million!"
The bid became the highest tonight.
Even so, as soon as the words fell, someone immediately followed the pace and raised the bidding price.
"85 million!"
"90 million!"
"95 million!"
According to the rules, because this treasure was very rare, and with regards to its unique effect, it was almost a treasure that everyone wanted to buy.
Therefore, the price increment was relatively high. It had to at least 5 million dollars for each bid.
It was not a low number. It was a huge number for rich families, let alone ordinary families.
But in the eyes of the people present today, it was nothing.
Hence, the bidding became more intense.
However, since the first bidding, Emmeline and Jara didn't bid again.
Isaac could tell that they wanted the treasure very much, so he was a little worried when he saw that they did not say anything.
With that, he continued to instigate around. "Why aren't you bidding? These old dudes are so vicious. What if someone else successfully bid it?"
However, he noticed they did not pay attention to him at all and was starring at the stage seriously. On the other side, the price had been increased to more than 300 million dollars. At this price, many began to withdraw.
After all, it was only rumored that this thing could provide immortality and bring the dead back to life.
But most of the people present were smart people. How could they not know that revitalization and immortality might just be a man's fantasy in the end?
In fact, the cells in the human body would gradually age. How could the human body really live forever?
That was why, in the beginning, everyone wanted to give it a try with the mentality of gambling.
But as the price went higher and higher, in the end, it had even been increased to 500 million dollars, and many began to retreat.
It was fine to make a bet over a treasure.
However, if the bet was too big and the jade pendant turned out to be ineffective, it was more or less a joke to spend 500 million dollars on a piece of jade.
As a result, at the end of the day, the price reached 800 million, leaving only two people in the bid
One was Mr. Payne who had greeted Jara before, and the other was a foreigner with gold hair.
Seeing that Jara and Emmeline didn't make any moves, Isaac was becoming extremely anxious.
He was afraid that if this thing fell into the hands of Mr. Payne, giving him a chance to show off in front of him, so he said anxiously, "Jara, is it because you don't have enough money? If you don't have enough money, I'll lend it to you. You can lend me whatever you want. tackle this bastard!"
Although Jara was looking at him indifferently, a look of concern flashed across his eyes, looking as if he was retarded.
Seeing that, Isaac was speechless.
Esme couldn't stand it anymore as she pulled his sleeve and said, "These two people are still fighting. What are you worried about? When they have a winner, Mr. Holland will naturally take action."
