She knew that Joe was very skilled and had an amazing ability to appraise antiques. However, she never knew that Joe had so much assets and money.
In fact, Jasmine did not dare to offend Jack but she could not help but wonder why Joe was so courageous. Wasn’t he afraid that Jack would take revenge against him?
Jacob was the first person to regain his senses and he quickly tugged at Joe’s sleeves before he said, “Joe, what are you doing? Sit down!”
“Dad, I know what I am doing.”
Joe turned around and raised his head with a calm expression on his face.
“Joe, what are you trying to do? Why are you snatching Mr. Yaleman’s belongings?” Adam took the initiative to question Joe in a cold manner.
At this time, Joe smiled before he replied, “This is an auction. Everyone has the right to bid for the item. What do you mean when you say I am snatching something belonging to him? Don’t you understand the rules of an auction?”
After he was done speaking, Joe sneered before he continued, “You…you should just sit there and keep your mouth shut. Aren’t you ashamed after embarrassing yourself twice in a day?”
Adam felt embarrassed as soon as he heard Joe’s words. Therefore, he sat down immediately without even retaliating at all.
Jack had a gloomy expression on his face as he continued glaring at Joe. “It’s you again! Do you know who I am and where I came from? I am Jack Yaleman! You dare snatch something belonging to me?”
Joe sneered before he asked, “I don’t care who you are but I am going to outbid you today! What are you going to do about that?”
Jack was going crazy!
He was well-known in his own city and all over the country. Everyone here today respected him with all their hearts but this young kid was actually so arrogant towards him. He had even tried to trample all over him several times already. This was really annoying!
What was even worse was that he actually dared to scold him!
He must have a death wish!
The people present at the auction were also shocked at this time.
Who was this young man? Who gave him the courage to challenge and scold Jack? Was he already tired of living? Jack was a Feng Shui master who had more than ten thousand ways to kill him without involving any blood at all!
However, even though Jack was very furious, he remained calm and composed as he wanted to get the clam at a lower price. Therefore, he still maintained his demeanor before he smiled and said, “My friend, I know that we’ve both had a misunderstanding before the auction earlier but this is a little too much. If you are bidding against me just because of that slight misunderstanding, that would be too revengeful, right?”
Jack was preparing to take home the clam at fifteen million dollars. He knew that if he went straight into a heads on confrontation with Joe, the next bid would definitely exceed thirty million dollars.
He did not want to spend so much money today!
Therefore, he swallowed and waited with the hopes that Joe would withdraw his bid.
He would settle the score with him as soon as he bought the clam over for fifteen million dollars!
Joe could see right through his intentions. Therefore, he said contemptuously, “Stop talking nonsense, I’m also interested in this clam. If you cannot afford to pay the price I’m asking for, you can back out of the bid!”
Things were getting out of hand again!
Oh my!
This young man had actually asked Jack to back out of the bid…
That was a little too much, right?
Jack had a cold expression on his face but in order to save money, he continued speaking in a gentle tone. “I really like this clam. Can you give me face and just let me have it?”
Joe glanced at him before he replied flatly, “Why should I? Do I even know you?”
After that, Joe asked again, “Hey, can you just let me know if you can afford to bid against me?”
The expression on Jack’s face was very ugly at this time. No one had ever dared to speak to him like this!
Moreover, the other party was only about twenty years old at most! He was even younger than all of his disciples and grandchildren!
Jack was so annoyed that he could not be bothered to maintain his demeanor any longer. Therefore, he replied coldly, “It is unexpected that someone would refuse to respect me when I am the reputable and well-known Mr. Yaleman! Alright then. Since this is a fair competition, then whoever pays the higher price gets to take the treasure home with him! I really want to see how wealthy you are and how you are going to take this clam away from me!”
After that, Jack raised his hand and shouted, “Fifty million dollars!”
As soon as he placed his bid, the audience started whispering among themselves again.
It seemed as though the auction hall had turned into a gambling den and the atmosphere in the auction hall was very lively at this time.
The rules were simple!
It all depended on who had more money!
The one with more money was the king of the battle!
Jack had a very simple thought in his head. He thought that if he fought with Joe bit by bit, the battle would definitely go on endlessly. Therefore, he wanted to scare him off with a price that would be too suffocating for him. That was the reason why he had called for fifty million dollars immediately. Jack was certain that Joe would not be able to match his price!
However, Joe had a straight expression on his face before he spoke up again.
“One hundred million dollars!”
The auction price doubled again!
The atmosphere in the auction hall was extremely intense.
Within a few minutes, the price of the treasure had already increased tenfold! This was really a significant and unforgettable moment in auction history!
At this time, Adam could not help but shout, “Joe! Are you sure you have that amount of money or are you just pretending to be rich?”
Joe could not stop himself from laughing out loud at this time. “Yes, I have the money with me now. Why? Are you still not convinced? Well, I might as well tell you the truth, then. In fact, the black card that I’ve been using to pay for all my purchases belongs to the Quinton family. Your uncle gave me the black card. So, is this really unexpected? Are you surprised?”
“You! You!” Adam’s face was flushed red as he yelled, “You bastard! How dare you cheat the Quinton family’s money? I am going to crush you sooner or later, you liar!”
Jack turned around at this time before he looked at Adam and asked, “Mr. Quinton, do you know this person?”
Adam snorted before he replied “All I know is that he is the son-in-law of the Wilson family. He does not have a job and he lives off his wife. Recently, he managed to coax my father into giving him some money…”
“Is that so?”
Jack asked as he raised his brows. At this time, he snorted because he felt completely reassured at this time.
“Alright then, young man. I would advise you not to be so arrogant. Otherwise, you’d be the one to suffer in the end. I am not looking down on you, but are you sure you can afford to pay one hundred million dollars?”
Joe’s face was very cold as he replied, “You don’t have to worry if I have enough money or if I can afford to pay the money. If you want to fight against me, then you should continue bidding. Otherwise, you should just shut your mouth and back out right now.”
Jack could not tolerate him any longer and he started cursing immediately. “Young man! You’re really seeking death!”
Joe laughed before he said, “I am seeking death? Is it really up to you? You can’t even afford to pay for the things that you want to buy and you’re already thinking of how you can get rid of me? Hahaha. You’re really such a fool!”
Jack finally reached his limits because Joe kept ridiculing him. Therefore, he suddenly shouted out loud, “Young man, you’d better give me what I want and let me have the treasure now! Otherwise, it will be useless for you to have the treasure when you’ll be losing your life!”
As soon as he said that, the expression on Finn’s face changed immediately because Jack was obviously trying to break the rules and tarnish the reputation of Treasure Pavilion.
His face turned blue and he felt very uncomfortable but he did not dare to refute the Feng Shui master.
Joe smiled slightly as he said, “If you really want to take my life, you still have to wait for the auction to end, don’t you? The auction is not over yet and I’m willing to pay one hundred million dollars for the clam. If you want to fight for it, then you’ll have to continue bidding against me!”
