"I want this sword!" Yang Chen said directly to Zhu Hai.

When he came out, he hadn't prepared this much money, but Zhu Hai brought him here, so he must have been prepared.

Excited, Zhu Hai immediately said, "Rest assured! I'll definitely get it for you!"

He brought Yang Chen here exactly for such an opportunity, which is why he initially showed that bronze figure to Yang Chen, thinking he'd be interested.

Since ancient times, divine weapons have belonged to heroes.

Heroes are paired with fine horses.

Overcoming obstacles for beauty is difficult.

The moment this sword's figure was revealed, Yang Chen was captivated, unable to extricate himself!

Yang Chen liked it because the aura it exuded seemed to perfectly match Ye Xin's temperament.

It radiated a dark vermilion red, with patterns on its body, and its entire aura felt hot and unyielding, as if it wanted to cleanse the world and drink with blood!

It was a blade full of malevolence.

At first glance, Yang Chen felt it was a perfect match for Ye Xin, much better than the specialized steel daggers Ye Xin used.

Moreover, Yang Chen had always wanted to gift Ye Xin something worthy.

Of course, the Fire Phoenix Crown didn't count; Yan Yexin had found that herself and even made it herself, which was different in nature.

Hence, he immediately decided to get it!

He must acquire it to gift it to Ye Xin!

Zhu Hai, upon receiving Yang Chen's request, seemed raring to go.

He was determined to obtain this dagger.

After all, this was his best opportunity to strengthen his relationship with Yang Chen and couldn't be missed.

He had painstakingly invited Yang Chen here for this very reason.

The host on stage lifted it briefly to show to everyone and then placed it back in its box.

The host smiled and said, "Sorry, this dagger is hard to hold; it's not only heavy but also very hot, even with gloves on."

"I'm sure everyone knows about King Goujian's Sword, which has remained uncorroded for thousands of years. It is said that it could cut hair on purpose and even slice through a dozen stacked copper coins when excavated! This reflects the amazing bronze forging techniques of the Warring States period, superior even to today's technologies!"

"This is a unique opportunity; experts have authenticated this bronze sword from the Warring States period, with a very high level of hardness, able to cut hair on purpose and slice through copper coins effortlessly. Such a divine weapon can be placed at home for protection, to ward off evil, gather wealth, and enhance luck, and its thousand-year-old heritage is truly remarkable!"

The host spoke eloquently about its extraordinary nature.

Though this item can't have an official authentication certificate, several top domestic appraisal masters invited by the Spring River Pavilion will testify to its authenticity.

Though not a certificate, it has the same effect.

With their authoritative assertion, its value is assured.

However, this item can only circulate in the black market; taking it outside will not be acknowledged, and even if acknowledged, it would be confiscated immediately as a national treasure, not allowed to be traded at will.

The starting bid is five million!

Five million is not expensive for those present, and everyone started bidding.

Everyone was excited to see a sword resembling the legendary King Goujian's Sword up for grabs, and they started bidding fervently.

Zhu Hai wasn't in a hurry; he had made up his mind about this item and didn't care about the final price, daring to bid no matter the cost!

Wang Lei understood the rules of the Spring River Pavilion.

To enter the Spring River Pavilion, one must have a top-tier member introduce them.

In exchange, they should win an auction item to gift to the introducer as a thank-you.

Of course, there was no explicit rule; it was more of an unspoken convention.

Given the Wang family's wealth, Wang Lei wouldn't be stingy and planned to gift something truly dazzling.

Now, this sword seemed perfect.

Everyone knew about King Goujian's Sword, so a sword similar to it would be extremely precious; gifting it to Liu Xianhong would surely convey his sincerity.

Immediately, Wang Lei said to Liu Xianhong, "Young Master Liu, I think this sword is nice. Do you like it? I'll bid for it and give it to you."

Liu Xianhong's gaze remained on Yang Chen and Zhu Hai, observing their actions and noting that Yang Chen seemed to say something to Zhu Hai, who was visibly excited.

Could it be that Yang Chen was interested in this sword?

Come to think of it, Yang Chen was a retired guard; men's fascination with weapons is innate and comes from their very marrow. It's unsurprising that Yang Chen would admire such divine weapons.

If so, acquiring this sword and gifting it to Yang Chen might give him a chance to ease relations and even become friends?

Thinking of this, Liu Xianhong slightly nodded and said to Wang Lei, "It's a nice item!"

Hearing this, Wang Lei was thrilled and immediately bid, "Twenty million!"

The price was only at eleven million, and everyone was slowly increasing their bids. Wang Lei's presence suddenly broke the atmosphere, exuding a strong, overpowering aura.

Wang Lei wanted to assertively communicate that he was determined to get this item, discouraging others from competing with him.

However, he forgot that everyone present was extraordinary, either wealthy tycoons or influential elites.

Moreover, they were all young people.

Upon hearing Wang Lei's words, a few fiery individuals immediately stood up.

"What's up? Do you think money can solve everything? Thirty million!"

"Haha, I've never seen such arrogance in Jin Chen! Fifty million!"

"Sixty million, there's no way you'll take it!"

"A hundred million! Trying to fly high before you've learned the ropes, are you still dreaming?"

...

Once a few big shots joined in, they directly raised the price to a hundred million!

The auctioneers were overjoyed; they loved seeing such events unfold.

While all these people were bigwigs and didn't care about this money, they were in the business of making money, and the more these people spent, the happier they were!

Wang Lei was taken aback by the alternating voices.

He hadn't anticipated that his words would attract so many big shots.

Even the price had soared directly to a hundred million!

It had exceeded his expectations.

He thought that to please Liu Xianhong, gritting his teeth and spending fifty million wasn't too much.

But now, it was over a hundred million, and he was truly reluctant.

Liu Xianhong also frowned slightly, feeling a bit disgusted with Wang Lei's reckless behavior.

Everyone here was an elite with countless wealth.

Wang Lei's actions had stirred public anger.

At this time, Zhu Hai stood up, smiling: "Alright, everyone, let's stop competing. I truly like this item; please give me a break. I'll pay a hundred and ten million for it. If anyone wants it, I'll apologize here and treat everyone to dinner another day!"

Everyone immediately responded: "It's okay! If Brother Zhu likes it, just take it!"

"Exactly, we just can't stand someone being too arrogant!"

"This sword suits Brother Zhu, just take it!"

"Since Brother Zhu likes it, let's give it to Brother Zhu!"

"Haha! Brother Zhu, you said it, treat us to dinner!"

And just like that, the item was settled with Zhu Hai, and no one bid further.
