The naturally formed jade contained a certain amount of spiritual energy. Joe felt that this was the perfect item for Graham to expel the evil spirit from his home. Therefore, he raised his hand immediately.
“Nine hundred thousand dollars!”
As soon as his voice fell, the familiar voice sounded again.
“One million dollars!”
Joe turned around and he met Adam’s provocative eyes immediately.
Joe did not say anything but he continued raising his hand.
“One million one hundred thousand dollars!”
“One million two hundred thousand dollars!”
After bidding several times, the price of the jade had already doubled and under Adam’s deliberate bidding, the price of the jade soared to two million dollars!
Everyone in the auction hall knew that Adam had deliberately raised the price of the jade because he wanted to provoke Joe.
Therefore, everyone was waiting to watch another good show as they watched Joe raise his hand again.
At this time, Joe slowly raised his hand as he said, “Twenty million dollars!”
What?
This was insane!
Did two million dollars become twenty million dollars in a blink of an eye? This was a repetition of the situation just a short while ago. The price of the item had already increased tenfold!
Adam had a very ugly expression on his face.
What was wrong with Joe? Even if he had the money, why was he wasting it away like this?
Even though Adam was a famous prodigal child in Aurous Hill, he was not willing to pay ten times the price for something…
Therefore, he started hesitating.
Should he follow in his bid?
If he followed after Joe’s bid, then he would be throwing eighteen million dollars away for nothing.
However, if he refused to follow, then Joe and everyone else would make fun of him.
He had already lost and embarrassed himself earlier. If Joe defeated him again, he would really lose face in this city.
Therefore, Adam gritted his teeth before he blurted out, “I will pay twenty million one hundred thousand dollars!”
The crowd of people could not help but exclaim in excitement.
Adam had added another one hundred thousand dollars!
He was up for the challenge!
Joe smiled before he raised his hand again. “Thirty million dollars!”
“What?”
“This is crazy!”
“This brother here is insane!”
Two million dollars had become twenty million dollars and from twenty million one hundred dollars, he called for thirty million dollars. Joe was scaring everyone present at the auction hall today.
Adam almost collapsed.
What was Joe trying to do? Was he really so rich? Thirty million dollars? He could buy fifteen pieces of this jade for that price. No matter who paid the price for the jade in the end, he was definitely at the losing end.
Joe started to challenge Adam again at this time. “Mr. Quinton, aren’t you going to continue bidding against me?”
Adam started panicking.
Thirty million dollars to buy a piece of jade? He would be dead meat if his family found out about it!
His sister, Aurora, would definitely make him a cripple.
But so many people were watching him…
What should he do now?
Adam’s face was flushed red as he was at a loss.
The auctioneer said, “Thirty million dollars once!”
“Thirty million dollars twice!”
The lively audience began shouting:
“Mr. Quinton, place your bid!”
“Mr. Quinton, you have to continue bidding!”
“Mr. Quinton, don’t let us look down on you!”
“Mr. Quinton, are you really giving up already? Were you pretending to be tough when you’re actually afraid?”
Joe smiled before he said, “Mr. Quinton, if you do not bid, you are going to lose to me again!”
Everyone was watching Adam at this time. He hesitated for a moment before he finally decided that reason defeated impulse.
He said in a furious manner, “I give up!”
“Ha!”
“Lousy!”
“What a shame!”
“Such an embarrassment!”
Everyone continued scolding and making fun of Adam as they laughed at him. Adam was left embarrassed and he did not know where else to hide his face.
He regretted his actions. He regretted coming out today. Otherwise, he would not have been so embarrassed.
Adam was very angry as he felt very embarrassed at this time. After a short while, Adam turned around and he was even angrier when he saw Joe laughing at him.
At this time, he could not stop himself from rushing over to Joe immediately.
“The one with the last name Smith! Are you doing this on purpose?”
