Translator: 549690339
The Younger Lord of the Lane Family turned around and looked at Ethan Smith coldly.
At this moment, Ethan Smith was also looking at him.
Their eyes met, and Ethan Smith’s brows furrowed.
“This brat really knows his stuff,” Ethan Smith sighed.
It seemed that today, there was almost no chance of picking up a bargain. Without further thought, Ethan raised his hand and called out, “Two billion.” As soon as the words came out, everyone at the scene gasped in astonishment!
“Two billion for a wild grass?”
“Is this young man crazy? Where did these elegantly dressed young men come from? They all look so unfamiliar.”
Although these people were wealthy, two billion was not a small sum for them.
Moreover, for rich people, they were more sensitive to money and would only spend it on useful things.
“Two billion and five hundred million.” At this moment, the Younger Lord of the Lane Family in the front row raised his bidding plate.
Everyone was even more shocked!
Another bid increase?
“Three billion.” Ethan Smith said coldly.
Ethan Smith was determined to get this piece of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb.
The Younger Lord of the Lane Family in the front row looked somewhat unhappy. He turned his head and glanced, then shouted, “Five billion!”
At this remark, the whole room was shocked!
Even Ethan Smith’s face looked somewhat unsightly!
To casually put up five billion was indeed somewhat unimaginable!
Ethan Smith only had twenty billion in hand, and it was borrowed. Spending five billion on a piece of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb was indeed somewhat inappropriate.
For a moment, Ethan Smith fell into contemplation.
“Six billion!” Emily Taylor shouted.
Ethan Smith was startled, and he quickly looked at Emily Taylor, shaking his head and saying, “Miss Taylor, I absolutely cannot let you spend this money,
Emily Taylor blinked and laughed, “It’s okay, it doesn’t matter whose money we spend.”
Ethan Smith didn’t know what to say, even if the Taylor family had money, he felt undeserving of it.
“Eight billion!” The Younger Lord of the Lane Family roared in the front row!
Emily Taylor snorted lightly and said, “Ten billion!”
The entire venue, everyone’s eyes were focused on these two people!
A piece of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb was bid to ten billion, which was probably already breaking the record of the South City Auction!
Emily Taylor looked at Ethan Smith’s face, a smile appearing on her face.
“I’m leaving soon, think of it as the last gift I give you,” Emily Taylor thought to herself in her heart.
When the price reached ten billion, the Younger Lord of the Lane Family in the front row finally stopped speaking.
“Finally, he stopped.” Ethan Smith frowned.
Just when Ethan Smith thought he was sure to win, an old servant next to the Younger Lord of the Lane Family suddenly stood up.
He turned around, looked at Ethan Smith’s direction, and cupped his hands,
“My friend, this is the Younger Lord of the Lane Family of South City, Asher
Lane. If you are willing to give this Polygonum multiflorum Thunb to us, our South City Lane Family will owe you a favor.”
“South City Lane Family?”
“So they’re from the South City Lane Family, no wonder they have such a big hand!”
“The Lane Family is a real top-notch family in South City, and they have a large number of followers!”
“Yes, unlike ordinary tycoons, the Lane Family is the most mysterious family in South City.”
Hearing everyone’s comments, Asher Lane couldn’t help but smile slightly.
It was clear that Asher Lane was quite satisfied with everyone’s attitude.
His old servant also looked around with pride.
“South City Lane Family…” Emily Taylor murmured as if lost in thought.
Ethan Smith looked at the old servant’s direction, bowed politely, and said, “Old sir, this Polygonum multiflorum Thunb is also important to me, so… I’m sorry.”
Upon hearing this, Asher Lane’s face became extremely unhappy.
While the old servant frowned, “Young man, you may not know what the Lane
Family means in South City. I suggest you learn more.” “Furthermore… Our Lane Family’s face is no worse than this Polygonum multiflorum Thunb.” The old servant said somewhat proudly.
Upon hearing this, Ethan Smith still shook his head, “I’m sorry, I’m not very interested in face, so let’s just have a fair competition.”
Hearing Ethan Smith’s words, Asher Lane’s face finally turned cold.
He slowly stood up, turned his head, and looked at Ethan Smith, saying coldly,
“Kid, you’d better think about the consequences when you speak and act.
Offending the Lane Family in South City is not a wise choice.”
“Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Lane, I will pay attention,” Ethan Smith said neither servile nor overbearing.
After that, he sat down and ignored Asher Lane.
Asher Lane clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said with a hint of menace, “Kid, I hope you can safely take away this Polygonum multiflorum Thunb.’
Ethan Smith didn’t say anything more, but there was a hint of worry in his heart.
Even a follower was a master that Ethan Smith couldn’t see through, which was enough to testify to the Lane Family’s strength.
“Don’t worry,” Emily Taylor comforted.
Ethan Smith sighed, looked at Emily Taylor, and asked, “Have you heard of this
Emily Taylor nodded and said, “Well, they have quite a reputation in the South
City area, with many followers and not to be underestimated.”
“Young man, you’d better give this Polygonum multiflorum Thunb to Asher Lane, or else… the consequences are unimaginable,” a middle-aged man next to Ethan Smith reminded.
“Yes, even if you bid for it, you may not be able to take it away. It’s better to go with the flow and gain a favor,” another person also reminded.
Ethan Smith nodded and said politely, “Thank you both for your kindness, but this Polygonum multiflorum Thunb is important to me, so… I still want to try..”
