Chapter 590
The merchant now wished he could slap himself twice. Why did he show up at this spot for nothing?
Now he could only pin his hopes on the young man, “Kid, aren’t you going to increase the bid? Just one cent more, and the stars and the sea will be all yours!”
The young man didn’t speak, bowing his head and focusing on his math problems.
The auctioneer continues: “One million one hundred and three thousand …”
Before the auctioneer even finished speaking, he was once again aggressively interrupted by the merchant who was now breaking out in a cold sweat.
It is said that a wealthy owner of the Diamond of Misfortune spent his fortunes dry, while he himself was bitten to death by wild dogs in the wilderness!
It is said that a publisher, another unfortunate owner of the Diamond, lost his eight-year-old son in a car accident, started drinking heavily, eventually lost his health and his publishing business. Then, his daughter died of an overdose of sleeping pills and his granddaughter died of alcohol and drug poisoning!
It is said that a merchant, who once owned the Diamond, drowned with his whole family!
It is said that another owner of the Diamond fatally fell off a cliff together with his entire family in a car accident…
The more he thought about it, the more the merchant sweated. He almost foresaw that if the diamond was sold to him, he and his entire family would meet with a tragic fate. How could he possibly want such an item?
“Miss Carp, I offer you one million two hundred thousand, can you raise the bid once more?”
Ye Xingguang shook her head.
“I’ll offer you two million, just raise the bid one more time, please. I believe as the Carp Girl, you must be incredibly lucky and can become the end of this misfortune, ushering in a new era of stars and sea. But I am definitely not destined for this, and if you bid on it, you would be saving my whole family.”
Ye Xingguang raised an eyebrow: “Why should I save your family? I am not the Virgin Mary?”
The wealthy merchant: “I’ll give you three million, will you raise the bid again?”
Ye Xingguang: “I’ll think about it.”
But after contemplating it, she shook her head.
From the expression on Ye Xingguang’s face, it looked like there was still room for negotiation. The merchant, hoping against hope, said: “Miss Ye, how much would make you raise the bid, just name your price. As long as you speak, I promise I won’t even blink, I’ll definitely make it happen.”
Light sparked in the depths of Ye Xingguang’s eyes: “I want the Light of Good Fortune. If you can win that for me, I’ll raise the bidding.”
At this statement, Xia Yanyan, who had been watching the drama unfold, narrowed her haughty eyes. What a sneaky little White Lotus! Going in circles, she was actually vying for the Light of Good Fortune with her!
The merchant looked stunned for a moment before nodding with no hesitation, “Fine, I’ll win the Light of Good Fortune for you!”
Compared to a family massacre about to happen, what’s the Light of Good Fortune?
Ye Xingguang raised an eyebrow, “Just saying it doesn’t make it true. How can I trust that you won’t go back on your word?”
The merchant thumped his chest saying, “I, Su Maochang have been in business all my life, always delivering on my promises. I promise you that if I pledged to win the Light of Good Fortune for you, I would do it even if it means losing everything I own. Everyone here can be my witnesses. If I can’t keep my words today, may my mansion crumble! If anyone here would like to witness this, I would appreciate your support.”
“Brother Su, I’ll be your witness.” Someone who knew Su Maochang spoke.
“Saving a life is greater than building a seven-tiered pagoda; I’ll also be your witness.”
“Count me in.”
“And me.”
