Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 435 Auction trap (12)

There was a silence that filled the auction hall after this bid from the eldest prince.

Not a single person seemed like they were willing to raise the bid anymore after hearing the bid from the eldest prince.

The auctioneer had waited because this was their big ticket item, the finale of their auction. If he just let the bid for this item end like that, then it would be bad for their auction house.

But the auctioneer was also an experienced person and could read the room.

He knew that at this point, it was very unlikely that there would be anyone else making a bid for Durand…

He couldn't blame the eldest prince for this, it was just what it was.

So with a secret sigh, the auctioneer said, "We have a bit from the VVIP guest on the third floor for two hundred thousand gold coins. Is there anyone that is willing to make another bid for this final amazing item. This is an item that you won't be able to find anywhere else…"

He went on to talk about all the amazing things about Durand, as if he was hyping it up.

But everyone knew that he was just stalling for time so that other people would have the chance to bid.

It was just too bad that no one had the intention to bid now.

They just couldn't compete with the eldest prince in terms of status or wealth, so they could only let him win.

The auctioneer was quite skilled at stalling, but the eldest prince wasn't about to let him keep stalling.

The eldest prince knew that he had this bid all but won, so he didn't want to waste more time with these games.

The eldest prince came out and gave a cough.

This cough wasn't loud or soft, but it was heard all over the auction hall.

When the auctioneer heard this, his words couldn't help trailing off.

He slowly looked up to see that the eldest prince was looking down at him.

When the eldest prince did this, it was clear that he was putting pressure on the auctioneer to make him finish this auction sooner.

The auctioneer had an awkward look on his face when he saw the eldest prince looking down at him like this, but there was nothing that he could do.

After all, when the eldest prince acted like this, he would be the one that suffered the consequences if he disobeyed.

So the auctioneer had no choice but to start the three count for this bid.

"Two hundred thousand gold coins going once."

"Two hundred thousand gold coins going twice."

"Two hundred thousand gold coins going…"

"Two hundred and one thousand gold coins."

Right before he could finish this count, there was a voice that rang out through the auction hall.

As soon as that voice fell, there was a silence that filled the hall.

The eldest prince deeply knitted his brows when he heard this before he recognized this voice.

The auctioneer had also been silent since he had been shocked by this sudden interjection, but he recovered quickly as a professional.

Right before he was able to say anything, the eldest prince suddenly said, "Three hundred thousand gold coins."

Everyone took a cold breath after hearing that, including the auctioneer.

The eldest prince really didn't play around.

As soon as someone made a bid, he raised the price by another hundred thousand gold coins.

This was something that only someone as powerful as the eldest prince could do.

But at this point, this price was much more than what this item should be worth.

Yet the eldest prince made this bid without any hesitation.

It showed just how powerful the eldest prince was.

The auctioneer revealed a relieved look after getting over his shock.

He had been scared that this auction would end before it reached a point that he was comfortable with, but now that the eldest prince had made this bid, it was fine for him to end it.

He really had to thank whoever made that bid just now or else it would have been him who would have been in trouble.

Wasting no time at all, the auctioneer was about to count down the eldest prince's bid since he didn't believe that anyone else would make a bid.

"Three hundred and one thousand gold coins."

The same voice as before rang out and raised the price by a thousand gold coins just as before.

The auctioneer turned in the direction of this voice with a strange look as he thought, "Brother, you've already done your job! There's no need for you to keep bidding!"

But I didn't care at all as I made this bid.

Yes, it was me who had made that bid at the last second earlier.

I was the only one that didn't care about the eldest prince and made this bid.

This time, there was a deathly silence that hung in the auction hall as everyone looked up at the VVIP rooms with scared looks.

This person had just outbid the eldest prince not once, but twice.

And each time that he did this, he only raised the price by a thousand gold coins, the minimum amount needed to increase the bid.

If this wasn't an attempt to provoke the eldest prince, they really didn't know what it was.

If the eldest prince became angry, it was certain that his wrath would roll out on them in the audience. So they were all afraid of what would happen next, though not a single one of them dared to run.

If they did, they would draw attention from the others and be punished first.

So they all sat in their seats with tense nerves.

The eldest prince didn't say anything when he heard this bid, he just stood there with knitted brows as if he was trying to process this.

But then he walked over to the side of the balcony and leaned in towards my balcony to say, "Brother Zwein, I really need this item. Will you give me some face and concede this bid?"
