Chapter 3068 Deal Sealed
They had not expected such a crazy move by Levi and were caught off-guard.
They immediately put their heads together and tried to come up with a plan to foil Levi.
After a long while, they finally nodded their head and looked toward Levi with sly smiles on their faces. Obviously, they had come up with a solution!
The atmosphere in the auction hall was tense and the mysterious man was getting a little irrational.
“Come on! Let’s get serious! Three hundred and fifty thousand pieces of spiritual energy crystals! I don’t believe you can match me for that!” he shouted crazily.
The Waldan man had nothing to fear since Levi had openly given his word in front of everyone that he would give him unconditional support.
Moreover, just a moment ago, Levi had indicated he could go to at least a million pieces of spiritual energy crystals! So he knew he still had plenty of resources to continue.
He confidently raised his hand and said, “Then let me offer four hundred…”
However, before he could finish his sentence, the auctioneer chipped in and said, “Great! Going once, going twice, and sold for three hundred and fifty pieces of spiritual energy crystals!”
With the bang of the gavel, the deal was sealed!
He spoke so quickly and closed the deal so rapidly that no one had a chance to make a counteroffer.
The Waldan man had not even finished shouting out his offer of four hundred thousand and the auctioneer had already ended the bidding!
That showed how fast-talking that auctioneer was! It was obvious he was not going to give anyone a chance to make a counterbid.
The bang of the gavel against the lectern was so unexpected that everyone present was taken by surprise.
The Waldan man was stunned, as was Levi.
Everyone in the hall was taken by surprise, including the man who was backed by Zarain and the men from Idrae.
What…? What is happening?
This is unbelievable!
The auctioneer and his colleagues deserved credit for coming up with such an extraordinary idea. They left everyone astonished.
Shock was written all over the faces of Dr. Erebus and his team.
Is that even legal?
Are they allowed to seal the deal without giving others a chance to counter-bid?
From the stage, the auctioneer was all smiles as he continued, “Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully bidding for the magical medicine!”
Even the mysterious man was dumbfounded and could not register what was going on.
He was all ready to go into a financially draining fight with Levi for the magical medicine, but before he could even warm up to the bidding, he was declared the winner!
“Hey, what is that supposed to mean? I have not made my counterbid! I have not given up and am going to offer a higher bid than him!” The Waldan man protested loudly, upset he was cut off so abruptly. He was not about to accept that bullying act.
“Oh really? I did not hear you and your counterbid! I sealed the deal as no one made a higher offer!” the sly auctioneer said.
The Waldan man was exasperated and tried to explain. “He shouted three hundred and fifty thousand pieces. I was about to offer four hundred thousand pieces, but before I could do that, you already sealed the deal!”
“No, I did not see that! I was convinced you were giving up… I waited for a full minute and closed the bid when no one made a higher offer! I am sure you did not make a better offer!” The auctioneer denied the accusation.
The Waldan man was left speechless by the blatant lies coming from the auctioneer.
Waited for a full minute? Did not see me bid?
He was astounded by how far the auctioneer was willing to distort the facts and lie in order to stop him from getting the magical medicine.
“That’s right! I did not see you make the counterbid! He waited for a minute, and you did nothing during that time!”
“It is true. We did not see that!”
“We were right here on stage, and none of us saw you make another bid!”
Those men from Idrae and Hydron came forward and sided with the auctioneer and his colleagues.
“We can be witness to that. A full minute had passed and no one made a higher bid. It was only then that he closed the bid!”
“That’s right! Stop trying to argue! We are all witnesses to that!”
“Shameless man!”
“Yeah! Stop your despicable nonsense!”
Almost everyone in the hall sided with the auctioneer, and they were determined to deny the Waldan man a chance to protest.
The Waldan man was aggrieved, wrongly accused of being a cheat and a fraud when he was the victim of the injustice.
Alas, he was outnumbered and had no means to clear his name.
