Chapter 320 - The Night Light Cup Inexplicable Gaze
As he swallowed subtly, a voice eerily bridged the gap between dimensions, finding its way directly into the minds of Xue Zixi, Jia Renjie, and the Jade King.
“I'm Jiang Hao. Stop raising the bids. I supplied the Grass Wood Pills, and I have more. After the auction, I'll give each of you a few,” the voice promised.
In that instant, Xue Zixi, Jia Renjie, and the Jade King were astounded.
Looking around, they realized that no one else seemed to have heard the voice.
It was as if they had experienced a collective hallucination.
But surely, it wasn't possible for all three of them to be hallucinating at the same time, was it?
Their covert glances towards Jiang Hao confirmed their suspicions as they caught him watching them.
Now they were certain.
Despite their astonishment, they knew they had to quell their shock and cease bidding.
The Jade King held back his bids, much to Soong Wan's distress.
Jiang Hao quietly shared the truth with her to ease her worry.
With their withdrawal, the set of Grass Wood Pills was ultimately snapped up by a wealthy lady for 300 million.
Before anyone could blink, the bid for the Luminous Cup had skyrocketed to five hundred million.
In the end, the Luminous Cup was acquired by the Jade King and an unknown companion of Du Zhongguo for a staggering 600 million!
Jiang Hao found it odd that the Jade King, Du Zhongguo, and the others appeared wary of a certain stranger, which explained their absence from the final bidding.
With the auctioneer's closing remarks, the private auction came to an end.
Guided by a hostess to the backstage, Jiang Hao took care of the payments and other contractual formalities.
Armed with the three items he had successfully bid on, and the substantial earnings from selling the Tiger Talisman, Grass Wood Pill, and Night Glow Cup, Jiang Hao went to rendezvous with the Jade King and his group.
Upon exiting, Jiang Hao was greeted by the sight of Xue Zixi, Jia Renjie, Soong Wanzhong, Rong Wan'er, and Du Feifei clustered together.
It seemed that Du Zhongguo had vanished since the auction's conclusion.
As Jiang Hao made his entrance, he instantly became aware of several piercing gazes directed at him, including from the individual who had exuded a murderous aura during the bidding war over the Baiqi Killing Sword.
Maintaining his composure, Jiang Hao approached the group, exchanged pleasantries, and after bidding farewell with Du Feifei, they all departed from the villa.
“Uncle, why isn't Uncle Hai with us today?” Jiang Hao inquired as they left the villa.
Soong Wanzhong, sensing something amiss, responded candidly, “Uncle Hai is waiting for us in the car.”
Hearing this, Jiang Hao's concerns were eased.
