Chapter 250 Hundreds of Millions
King Thor came here today concealing his identity. In order to see the mermaid he had been thinking about day and night as soon as possible, he spent a huge fortune to buy the first nine items.
And now, the host is finally going to present the last item.
On the stage, the female host, dressed coolly and sexy, smiled slightly and said, "I guess many people came here tonight just for this last lot."
"Without further ado, everyone, please take a look."
The female host turned sideways, and a cage slowly rose up behind her.
It was a square cage, wrapped with brambles all around, and inside the cage was a tall man.
The man was handsome, with blue hair that covered his eyebrows. His blue eyes were clear and deep, as beautiful as sapphires.
He was shirtless, and his muscular body was exposed to everyone. His sexy Adam's apple, prominent collarbone, strong chest and abdominal muscles, and mermaid line were immersed in a pair of tight blue trousers. He wore a pair of black leather shoes on his feet.
The man in front of me is indeed very good-looking, but everyone here has seen good-looking men before.
They came to see the mermaid, not the man.
Some people suddenly became unhappy.
"Isn't it a mermaid? Why is it a man?"
"A prestigious underground auction house is now deceiving its customers like this?"
"Get your boss out here!"
The host on the stage anticipated this situation and immediately said, "Everyone, don't worry."
"Next, it's time to witness the miracle."
As the host's voice fell, a stream of water suddenly fell from the sky above the cage.
Drops of water dripped onto the man in the cage. Only then did everyone realize that there was a layer of glass inside the cage, which collected the falling water. Soon the water filled half of the cage.
The man in the water was now in a mess, and a blue light suddenly burst out from his body.
After a moment, the man's face suddenly changed. Some blue scales appeared on his originally delicate and fair face, and his ears turned into fish fins.
His legs also turned into a blue fishtail. Under the light, the scales sparkled and looked extremely beautiful.
The people below were all shocked, it turned out to be a mermaid!
Everyone was amazed. They had all heard of mermaids but had never seen one.
Now that they have seen it, even if they can't take a picture of it today, it will be enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives.
The female host said, "This is an adult male mermaid. The starting price is 10 million gold coins. Each bid must be no less than 100,000 gold coins. The auction begins now."
As soon as the female host finished speaking, people started bidding.
Jing Che stared at the crowd of heads below. Some looked at him with eyes of shock or greed. Some liked his beauty, while others wanted his body.
When he came to the human world, his companions advised him that the human world was too dangerous. He did not listen to the advice and was caught as soon as he got ashore.
Jing Che didn't know who would take him away today, but for his grandfather, he had to try his best to survive.
After a brief glance, Jing Che saw a familiar person in the crowd.
He was the man who had saved him from the witch's underground lake.
The man met Jing Che's gaze and gave him a kind smile.
"Queen, is that mermaid watching us?"
Cinderella asked quietly beside Lu Qizhi.
Lu Qizhi nodded, then raised his hand: "One hundred million."
Lu Qizhi's words made the people who were bidding fiercely stop immediately.
The starting price was 10 million, and everyone was raising the bid by one million at a time. It had just reached 50 million when Lu Qizhi suddenly shouted out 100 million. Everyone couldn't help but look over.
It turned out that the person who bid was sitting at the back.
As everyone knows, members of the underground auction house are ranked according to their net worth. Those sitting in the front row are all incredibly wealthy, while those sitting at the back are basically those who can barely enter the underground auction house.
The man sitting in the last row suddenly asked for 100 million, which made everyone dumbfounded.
"You kid, do you have that much money?"
"That's right. If you bid a random price and end up not being able to pay, the consequences will be something you can't afford."
In underground auction houses, if you can't settle the bill in the end, you will be regarded as a troublemaker. Chopping off your hands and feet and throwing you away is the lightest punishment. In serious cases, beautiful people like Lu Qizhi will be caught and locked up in a small dark room, where they will be used to satisfy the sexual desires of different people every day until they die. After death, their bodies will be fed to the wild beasts raised by the auction house owner.
When this underground auction house was first opened, there were some people causing trouble. After the boss dealt with them a few times, the people who came became much more well-behaved.
When everyone saw that Lu Qizhi was a stranger, they thought he was from another place. After all, the news of the mermaid had spread throughout the Kingdom of Thor and even to several surrounding countries.
There are so many new people coming that it's inevitable that some of them don't know the rules.
These people were also kindly reminding Lu Qizhi.
Lu Qizhi put his hands on his waist and said, "I don't have much else, but I have a lot of money."
The man who was speaking stopped talking after hearing what Lu Qizhi said.
Anyway, people have said so. If someone really causes trouble, the owner of the auction house will naturally deal with him.
However, after Lu Qizhi's bid, no one followed suit.
One hundred million is already a very high price for many people. They just come to see the legendary mermaid and randomly ask for a few prices they can afford, without any intention of really getting her.
After all, the big guys in the front row haven't spoken yet.
"One billion."
A deep voice sounded.
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice. King Thor was sitting in the first row. He stared at Jing Che intently, not caring about other people's gazes.
Then, he seemed to sense that Jing Che was looking somewhere else, and King Thor was a little dissatisfied.
He was determined to win Jing Che and would not allow anyone else to steal the limelight.
"One billion? Is this merman really worth that much?"
Some people were shocked. How long would it take them to earn 1 billion yuan? Although mermaids are rare, they are not worth so much money.
"It's not a question of whether it's worth it or not. Rich people don't care about whether it's worth it or not. They only care about whether they are happy spending the money."
"Tsk, I'm just not rich enough."
The offer made by King Thor not only shocked the members, but also the host on the stage.
They estimated the value of this mermaid to be around 100 to 200 million, so when Lu Qizhi said 100 million, the host was not surprised, and even thought it could be a little more.
But ten billion is really too much.
The host couldn't help but ask, "Dear guest, are you really willing to pay one billion?"
"Of course." King Thor showed a smug smile on his face.
"Okay, I'll send someone over right away to settle the bill with you." The host was impatient, fearing that King Thor would regret it.
If this billion-dollar transaction is completed, she will get a commission of 10 million. That's 10 million!
"Wait." At this moment, Lu Qizhi stood up and said with a little dissatisfaction: "The auction hasn't ended yet, and you want to trade now?"
