"20 million Berries?"
A sound of gasping for air rang out in the field.
The gazes of everyone, including Ain, fell on Kai in unison.
Watching Kai, who had raised the price to 10 million as soon as he opened his mouth,
he was simply a madman in their eyes.
"Is that the Marine we ran into at the door just now?" Jackal, who was sitting in the last row, raised his eyebrows and then revealed a playful smile.
Watching this scene, dozens of attendants' eyes lit up. They clearly knew what their boss had thought of.
After all, they had done this kind of thing a lot.
"20 million Berries, this sir bid 20 million Berries. Is there anyone who will bid higher?" The old man's cloudy eyes lit up at once.
In his eyes, Kai was just someone who had a lot of money and was stupid.
After all, in the old man's eyes, it would be very good if this pile of seastone could sell for 1.3 or 1.4 million.
Kai had raised the price so high as soon as he opened his mouth. If there were some people who didn't know the ropes, they might follow and raise the price.
At that time, he could sit back and reap the benefits.
"Haha, isn't this seastone? I just happen to want some to bring to my boss as a meeting gift." Jackal's loud laughter instantly attracted the attention of many people.
In their eyes, they also eagerly wanted to see which fool would raise the price again.
"I bid 25 million Berries!"
"25 million Berries?" The old man's eyes widened even more, and he said excitedly, "25 million Berries, do you still want it, sir?"
As these words fell, the gazes of everyone locked onto Kai in unison.
Ain's pretty face stiffened slightly, and she said urgently, "Teacher, if you need seastone, why don't you let me mention it to Teacher Zephyr? Perhaps it'll work?"
Right now, Laxus's name was a hot commodity in the eyes of Zephyr and other high-level officials.
If Kai really wanted to ask for some seastone, Zephyr would definitely not refuse.
"There's no need. Anyway, someone will pay the bill for us." Kai smiled kindly and raised his hand again and said, "35 million Berries!"
Whoa! A sound of an uproar rang out in the huge auction house.
The gazes of everyone who looked at Kai were full of disbelief.
He had raised the price by 10 million Berries as soon as he opened his mouth, and he was still bidding on a pile of defective seastone products.
If it was spread out, it would simply be a typical case of someone who was rich and stupid.
Faced with the changes in everyone's expressions, Kai smiled and looked at Jackal and said, "I remember that you seem to be called Jackal, right?"
"What's wrong? You didn't take a fancy to this pile of things? Why aren't you bidding? Do you not have Berries?"
The provocative words that suddenly popped out even surprised Ain and Smoker.
The retreat that Kai had shown at the door just now was still vivid in their minds.
Now, he had suddenly become strong, which made people have a feeling of being unable to accept it.
"You!" Jackal was choked at once.
He had originally been holding the thought of raising the price to make Kai spend a high price for nothing.
Right now, Kai had increased the bid by 10 million as soon as he opened his mouth.
He had even directly challenged him! What if he bid and the other party stopped bidding?
That would be a trap for him.
After all, he clearly knew who the boss behind this auction house was.
"Captain, let's not bid. It's simply a fool to spend 35 million on this pile of junk." A skinny man said urgently.
"What's more, I think that kid definitely doesn't have that many Berries..."
Jackal's eyes lit up when he heard this. It made him think of a way to step down, and he snorted coldly and said, "Kid, you're provoking the great Jackal Pirates. I'm someone with a bounty of 130 million."
"I forgot to tell you that Kaido, one of the Four Emperors of the Beast Pirates, has already decided to recruit me as a pirate group under his command, so I don't care about a mere tens of millions of Berries at all."
"However, I suspect that you don't have 35 million Berries on you at all. You're just shouting prices randomly here, so I hope you can take out something of sufficient value to prove that you have this ability. I believe this request isn't excessive, right?"
The awe-inspiring words echoed in the huge auction house.
No one disliked this kind of thing to watch.
What's more, it was indeed a bit unacceptable for other people to spend 35 million to bid on a pile of broken stones.
The old man, who was standing on the high platform, frowned at once.
Faced with Jackal's request, if it was at ordinary times, he would have smoothed things over in order not to offend the guests.
But the other party had put out the title of the Beast Pirates as soon as he opened his mouth.
This was something that he couldn't help but pay attention to.
What's more, the people around him had a face full of excitement, and the finale items that were coming up next still needed to continue.
Therefore, he only had one choice.
"This sir, I'm really sorry. My company has a rule that if there's a dispute about the qualifications of another bidder among the bidders, the person needs to provide sufficient auction qualifications. I hope this sir can take out 35 million Berries or treasures of equal value." The old man couldn't help but say.
"Damn guy, why doesn't he need to!" Smoker's face sank, and he shouted urgently.
If it was at ordinary times, he would have definitely overturned the table.
The most important thing was that Smoker didn't think that Kai had so many Berries on him.
After all, that shabby single-masted sailboat and the purchase of expensive dark steel had probably already consumed most of his wealth.
"Hmph, the head of our boss is already worth 130 million Berries. Would he be short of that little bit of money?" The skinny pirate beside Jackal took the lead and shouted smugly.
Faced with this value, many people had acquiesced, and even the old man on the stage was no exception.
After all, this world was one where the one with the bigger fist had the say.
As long as you had a big fist, there were Berries everywhere.
"Teacher...I..." Ain hesitated and opened her mouth.
However, she soon saw a warm big hand press on her head.
"What's wrong? Are you planning to borrow from your teacher again?" Kai smiled kindly.
On this stern face, this smile gave people a feeling of inexplicable eeriness.
"Kid, what are you laughing at? Why don't you hurry up and take out the Berries!" Jackal's expression changed slightly, and he shouted with a bit of impatience.
For a time, the atmosphere in the huge auction house suddenly became oppressive, and the gazes of everyone landed on Kai.
"Sorry, I never have the habit of carrying money." The smile on Kai's face became even stronger, and his gaze suddenly turned and landed on Jackal.
"However, thank you for reminding me of something. It turns out that you're a mobile ATM. I'll accept your head, which is worth 130 million Berries!"
As the not-loud words fell, the scene suddenly became so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping.
Even Ain's pupils contracted suddenly.
She had never expected that Kai would say such domineering words.
