Chapter 861 Nobody Is Dare to Fight With Him
Emmeline cast an admiring glance at her.
"Esme is still very smart."
Suddenly, Isaac was speechless.
Why did he feel that he was being looked down upon?
However, even though he was complaining, he knew for sure that Jara wasn't really giving up. Rather, he was planning to wait until the last minute to win over the bid. Only then did he feel at ease.
Soon, that golden-haired foreigner was defeated.
The man sighed helplessly and shook his head in disappointment. Turning around, he made a fist-holding gesture to show his respect to Mr. Payne, then gave up.
At that moment, there was a smug look on Mr. Payne's face.
This time, Mr. Payne went all in and almost bet all his money. Even if he was not the richest present, he had the highest bidding price.
In the end, the bidding price of 80 million yuan was bid up to 1.5 billion dollars by him and the foreigner!
At present, the hostess glanced across the hall and said with a smile, "Mr. Payne is now offering 1.5 billion dollars. Is there anyone here who would like to raise the price again?"
No one answered.
So, she began to call out. "Mr. Payne, 1.5 billion dollars. Once!"
"Mr. Payne, 1.5 billion dollars. Twice!"
"Mr. Payne..."
"2 billion!"
Suddenly, a deep magnetic voice interrupted her words.
The hostess's eyes lit up and immediately looked toward the source of the sound. Then, she realized it turned out to be the young man sitting in the first row and had not continued his bid since the very beginning.
Actually, she noticed Jara since the beginning. Because she wasn't someone in the circle, she didn't know who was Jara.
But because of his handsome appearance and extraordinary overbearing temperament, from the moment he entered the hall, she couldn't help noticing him.
At first, when the Jade of Heaven was presented, he made a bid once. The hostess thought that he would follow the bid for a second time, but unexpectedly, Jara did not continue the bidding.
The hostess still felt a little sorry for him, thinking that perhaps Jara's background was middling, so he stopped so early and gave up competing with these people.
However, she did not expect that Jara actually stayed until the end!
Immediately, the hostess smiled and said, "The gentleman number three is now raising the price to two billion dollars! Is there anyone who wants to bid more than two billion dollars?"
The moment Jara opened his mouth, cold sweat broke out all over Mr. Payne's body.
That was Jara.
The head of Lost Vanguard, the heir of the Holland family.
With Jara's financial ability, Mr. Payne thought that it was impossible for him to compete with Jara, but he had already come so far. What else could he do?
Should he really give up?
A look of hesitant flashed through Mr. Payne's eyes.
Today, he had made up his mind to take this jade pendant home no matter what.
So the moment he arrived at the venue, he began observing the people in the field and found that although most of them were a threat to him, if he really tried his best to take the jade pendant, he might stand a chance.
But after seeing Jara, his confidence was distroyed.
He knew that no matter whether this item was useful to Jara or not, as long as he had his eyes on it, it wouldn't fall into someone else's hands.
Therefore, before the second session of the auction began, he had deliberately come over to sound out Jara's intentions.
At that time, Jara didn't express his interest so he still let out a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, he also came for this!
What should he do?
Mr. Payne was almost constantly wiping away the sweat on his face, and he looked really bad.
Meawhile, Isaac turned around with a smile and said, "Uncle, can you do it? If you can't, you'll have to give way."
When he heard Isaac's words, Mr. Payne's expression changed again.
But at the end of the day, he didn't dare to raise the price of two billion dollars.
Furthermore, even if he raised the price again, he was unsure whether Jara would continue to compete with him.
No one knew how much Jara's wealth was. However, according to a previously estimated calculation, even if the wealth of all of the richest merchants in this land, including the local tyrant's the Mills family, were added up, they were still no match to Jara's.
Besides, Mr. Payne was a businessman who relied on the Mills family to survive.
In the end, Mr. Payne said embarrassingly, with a stiff smile, "Since Mr. Holland likes it, of course, I won't take away the item you took a fancy on. Mr. Holland please go ahead."
Raising his eyebrows, Isaac didn't expect him to back down so quickly.
Seeing that, he thought Mr. Payne was boring, so he snorted and turned around.
In the meantime, the host on the stage began to announce.
"The gentleman number 3 bid two billion dollars. Is there anyone who would like to increase the price?"
No one off stage said anything.
No joke. Who would dare to steal what Jara wanted?
Upon seeing this, the host shouted. "Two billion dollars. Once!"
"Two billion dollars. Twice!"
"Two billion dollars. Three times! Deal!"
With a 'bang', the hammer smashed the table, and the deal was a success.
Because it was the last item to be auctioned, the last bidding meant that today's auction had come to a successful end.
After the host announced the word of thanks, the lights in the hall were turned on. Everyone got up together and walked out.
Upon leaving the hall, a large number of people immediately rushed over to congratulate Jara.
Although there were a lot of people who did not say what they really felt, nobody cared, especially in such an occasion.
In that moment, Jara was engaged in social activities and he attended all of them with a faint smile on his face. If anyone paid close attention, they would realize that Jara was not as happy as they thought he would be when he got the treasure.
Although they didn't know the reason, they didn't dare to make assumptions. After expressing their congratulations to him, they left.
The last one to come out was Mr. Payne, whose face was as white as sheet.
Mr. Payne was a cousin of Isaac's mother's family. The two families were not on good terms with each other, but for some reason, he had been relying on Mills Group to make money.
This time, when they were voting for the next successor of Mills Group, Mr. Payne was the cousin of Isaac's mother, but he supported another cousin of Isaac's, so Isaac didn't like him.
At that moment, seeing him come out with an ugly face, Isaac immediately went forward and teased. "Uncle, why are you unhappy? Although you didn't get the treasure, you saved two billion dollars! Two billion dollars is enough our family to survive for many years."
Hearing that, Mr. Payne looked up and stared at him coldly.
In a cold voice, he replied, "Mr. Mills, you should be working in the company at this time, but instead, you came out with a woman. Does Alvin know about it?"
Hearing that, Isaac was startled.
His bright smile froze on his face.
After a long while, he said with a sneer. "Yes, I'm out during work hours indeed, but Uncle, are you be better than me? Tsk, tsk. You even dream of being immortal. Your family is only living off someone else's wealth. What's the point to live forever?"
"How dare you!"
Immediately, Mr. Payne became angry.
Fortunately, Esme smart. After all, Isaac and Mr. Payne were relatives, and Mr. Payne was actually Isaac's uncle. If they really started a quarrel in public, Isaac would inevitably be punished when he returned home.
