It's a shame to say that Eric only has 40,000 Oren in the Bank of Pelos after working for more than half a year, and this is the case that Papitt gives him a special allowance every month.

With the addition of the one million Oren that Rowingken paid for Eric, Eric's maximum bid was one hundred and forty thousand.

Obviously, 40,000 Oren couldn't afford Eric to buy the painting, and he was only trying to make a last-ditch struggle.

The guests were also waiting for the only bidder to call out the new price. After all, the increase of five thousand Oren is too easy to surpass.

But the wolf-faced man, who is Eric's competitor, surprisingly did not immediately increase the price.

"What's wrong?

"Quick, stupid!"

Some of the impatient guests even began to urge.

On the contrary, the impatient Bode appeared to be very patient this time. He deliberately delayed the price increase, because in his years of vision, both bidding fools wanted the painting very badly. So he fully believes that if he gives a little more time, he will definitely get the next offer.

Eric's feelings were very different from Bode's, as if he could see the hesitation on the other man's face through the wolf-faced man's mask.

When the price was raised to one million before, the wolf-faced man only bid for half a day, and now he is probably exhausted. Now not only himself, but the other party is also close to the limit.

Then next, it's up to who can't hold the collapse first.

“...... One hundred and ten thousand Oren. ”

The wolf-faced man said slowly.

Eric glanced at him, then continued to speak without flinching. The next moment, the two sides invariably launched a rain of attacks.

"One hundred and fifteen thousand!"

"One hundred and twenty thousand. ”

"One hundred and twenty-five thousand!"

"One hundred and thirty thousand. ”

"One hundred and forty thousand!"

Eventually, Eric shouted out his cap price, and he was left to his fate.

"......" The other party did not respond immediately this time, and saw that the wolf-faced man was communicating something with his female companion.

And everyone saw that the owner of the fox mask shook his head at the wolf-faced man. Then they turned and walked down the sidewalk, looking intent on leaving.

Apparently, they were going to abandon the painting.

A wave of ecstasy came over Eric, he didn't expect that he would be able to win the auction with this money.

Some people rejoice, and some people are sad. Bode doesn't seem to be satisfied with the wolf-faced man's performance, but there is nothing he can do about it. A piece of art was sold for 1.04 million Oren, and to be honest, it was already a rare high price in the industry.

"One hundred and forty thousand, one time. ”

The owner of the auction house raised his hand, ready to knock down the gavel.

A delighted Eric hurriedly smiled at Rowan, and at the same time stretched out his hand to thank the gold master.

"One hundred and forty thousand, twice. ”

Obviously, Eric was only one sentence away from getting what he wanted, but things didn't go as smoothly as he imagined.

—The door opened suddenly, and a beam of light came in, shining right above Bod's head, which was in the center.

The blinding light made Bo's gaze suddenly sharpen.

Wrath.

As the leading auction house in Pelos, one of the rules has always been praised here: the door must not be opened in the middle of the auction until it is over.

Not to mention Bode, even the guests present were puzzled, and they all poked their heads out to see which guy who didn't have long eyes opened the door in advance.

But when they saw the comer, they were relieved.

"Sir Smith!"

"Why is he here?"

"It seems that today, the owner of "Dream Island" is none other than him. ”

Yes, the rules of the auction house are important, but there are exceptions. After all, rules are just gadgets for ordinary people.

The fact is that as long as the status of the visitor is noble enough, opening the door is naturally a necessary act. This is also the personal instruction of all those in office.

What Eric didn't know was that Rowan had previously received this courtesy at the auction house. If he knew, he would definitely have a clearer understanding of the identity of the person who came, so that he would be mentally prepared for what would happen next.

When Bode saw who the one who came in, the gloom on his face instantly turned into a sneer.

"Sir Smith, you've been very good to come. You may be seated. ”

"Don't sit down, my time is precious. Smith said impatiently, "I came today for only one purpose, and that is to buy that painting!"

He pointed to "Dream Island" on stage.

Bode's two hands rubbed back and forth: "Sir, the bid for this painting just now is one hundred and forty thousand Oren." ”

"One and a half million, it's mine. ”

Sir Smith's voice did not fluctuate.

One and a half million! Everyone present was shocked by this generous shot.

Bo was even happier to hear the price.

He immediately dropped the gavel and stuffed the cooked fat duck into his pocket.

Because the process was not followed, the changes in front of us were too fast to react.

Eric is undoubtedly one of them.

A question mark was so large that it almost burst through his head. The "Island of Dreams", which was about to be in hand just now, was snatched away by this Sir Smith, who was suddenly and inexplicably killed.

Rao is a self-proclaimed smart Eric, who is also a little at a loss at this time.

Although he was angry that he had been directly hammered, he couldn't refute anything. After all, the price of one and a half million Oren was there, and he simply couldn't compete with it.

"Hey, isn't this the famous Rowan, I didn't know you were also interested in art. ”

Smith, who had not yet been invincible just now, seemed to put away his edge. He slowly walked over to Rowan's side and held out his hand.

Rowan held it.

"Smith. You really like to spend your money in these places. He said.

Eric's eyes widened. He was surprised that Rowan actually knew this nasty guy.

"Our business isn't going to be disrupted in any way because of my hobbies, because I have too much money to spend... Who is this?"

He stared at Eric and asked Rowan, apparently it was Eric's unfriendly look that caught his attention.

"One of my little friends. If you hadn't come, he could have bought the painting. Rowan explained the reason for Eric's unkind eyes.

"I see, no wonder. But don't worry young people, I welcome you to come to my residence and visit it at any time. ”

Smith pointed to the Island of Dreams on stage and said to Eric.
