ay sprawled on the floor, faces contorted in ecstasy, yet devoid of any breath.In just a few short days, these kinds of incidents had occurred repeatedly within the Jubao Pavilion. The servants immedi...Generally, auction houses have different customs. Some like to put important treasures first, while others prefer to place them at the end as the finale.

Today's auction obviously put the heavyweight, a Dragon Head Staff, on display right at the start, instantly raising the excitement of the event.

Just as everyone was eager to try, a voice spoke up first.

"I'll put up $1 million."

"The offer came from Sato, and he immediately looked at Tanaka Hiroji with a smile and said, 'Mr. Tanaka, to be frank, our Sato family is here for this Dragon Bone Staff today. Could you do us a favor and not compete with us' "

Even extraordinary artifacts like the magic treasure leaf are insignificant to Ye Bu Fan, but they are rare treasures in the eyes of other cultivators.

Especially the Onmyoji families in the Great Dog Country, these things were originally stolen from China.

He has only learned a part of the spells, and his refining skills are far too lacking. He can't refine magical artifacts himself, so he naturally has to find ways to get them from other sources.

Even a large family like the Satōs doesn't possess many artifacts.

Like Sato Kawa, a third-generation scion who was well-regarded in his family despite only possessing one spirit artifact, he immediately rushed back upon hearing news of the dragon bone staff.

Tanaka Koji nodded. "Alright, I won't fight with Sato-san for it."

The relationship between the two generations of Onmyōji families was generally amicable on a daily basis. Besides, the auction was a matter of mutual respect and courtesy.

If he starts a dispute with Sato now, when the auction for the sword he wants comes around, the other party probably won't let it go. That way, you and I fight over it, in the end, only the auction house benefits.

Two people, asking and answering, seemed like a friendly conversation between good friends, but they had already decided the fate of this dragon bone staff.

To know that this in front of you is a magic artifact, its greatest use lies with the Onmyoji family. With Sato-san's opening remark, it's equivalent to declaring his determination to obtain this artifact.

Facing the powerful Sato family, even Tanaka Koji gave way, so who would dare to challenge him

Everything he just did was intentional. This way, he could get the treasure at the lowest possible price.

After their conversation spread throughout the auction house, no one dared to bid again.

The auctioneer was secretly annoyed, but dared not show it. After all, she was facing the Sato family, a super powerful entity in Great Dog Country that no one dared to provoke.

Ye Bufan secretly sneered in his heart, this guy wasn't just a smiling tiger, but also a iron cock, not wanting to spend even a penny more. He actually wanted to take this staff at the bottom price.

Sato's smile widened. This was the benefit of being part of a large family—as long as they deterred the Tanaka family, no one would dare compete for the treasure on stage, even if it were a rare artifact.

Seeing that no one was bidding, he said with a chuckle, "Auctioneer, shouldn't the auction be over now"

"Oh!"

The auctioneer looked dejected. The first item up for auction went for the minimum bid, which was definitely not a good sign for her.

But there was no way around it, so she had to continue the auction. She picked up the gavel and asked symbolically, "The first item is a dragon bone staff, Mr. Sato bid 1 million, are there any higher bids 1 million once, 1 million twice..."

Just as she was about to swing her hammer, a voice suddenly rang out.

"I bid 1.1 million."

The one who placed the bid was naturally Ye Bufan, but he didn't bid too high. He just added the minimum price. Although he wasn't short of money, he couldn't let the little devils take advantage of him for no reason.

"Um..."

>

At this point, continuing to compete with Ye Bufan's family is clearly not the best option.

If the other party really has strong financial resources, and you ultimately lose the bidding, then it would be even more embarrassing.

Even if I win in the end, at a great loss and with shame on my face.

So in this situation, the wisest course of action is to abandon the bidding and wait until the auction ends to find an opportunity to kill that kid and reclaim the Dragon Bone Staff. Let others see what happens to those who offend the Sato family.

Everyone present had guessed his thoughts. At this moment, who would dare to grab the dragon bone staff It would be no different than courting death.

A deathly silence fell over the entire hall. After three calls from the auctioneer, he brought down his gavel. Ye Bufan had won the Dragon Bone Staff for $1.1 million.
