However, after the host announced the auction, there was silence in the venue, and no one made an offer for a long time, and many people's eyes were fixed on the Hope Diamond, but none of them made a light bid.

It's not that the starting price of this hope diamond is too high, but that it has too many factors to be afraid of.

Not to mention that this diamond itself has a terrible reputation, and its origin also makes many people scruples, after all, the Smithsonian Museum of the United States, who knows what trouble it will cause after buying it.

Mo Wen's eyes were always fixed on the brilliant blue diamond, and some contemplation and doubt flashed in his eyes; Half-ringing, he suddenly looked at Shen Jing beside him, and said softly, "Shall I give it to you?" ”

Shen Jing was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then shook her head slowly: "I don't like it." ”

"Your eyes tell me that you like it." Mo Wen said with a smile.

"It's too expensive, it's just a diamond, there's no need for that." Shen Jing frowned and said, the starting price is 200 million US dollars, and she can't even think of such an expensive thing. And this is still the lowest price, when it really competes, it is possible to increase it four or five times, because she knows how great the charm of the diamond is.

"If you like it, then there is a necessity, this diamond is said to be given to you, then I will take it no matter what means I use." Mo Wen said with a smile.

"Don't be reckless, that's too expensive." Shen Jing's heart was warm, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

After Yang Ting saw the diamond hope, her eyes never looked away, and her whole soul was attracted to it; Hearing Mo Wen's conversation with Shen Jing, he immediately sneered and said sarcastically: "No matter what means are used?" Can't you afford it, and you're still ready to grab it? ”

She decided in her heart that Mo Wen couldn't afford to buy this diamond, no matter how rich he was, he couldn't have the money to get to this Cheng dù, otherwise she couldn't have known Mo Wen this person. Don't ask. Even though she has the financial support of her family, she can't even think about Hope Diamond.

Perhaps Andrew, the president of the Fiat Group, has the ability, but he certainly won't do it, because the cost is too great, even if he can't afford it; Everyone in the auditorium is either rich or expensive, and the most important thing is the rich, and it is very likely that it will cost billions to buy hope when it is really photographed.

And this is still due to the limitations of the environment, no one knew that the hope diamond would appear at auction before, so many people were not prepared. Some of those with a keen interest in hope also did not appear at the auction.

Otherwise, the competition will be fierce. It can be said that it is possible for the price to increase to tens of billions.

"For the sake of Madame, even if you rob it?"

Mo Wen glanced at Yang Ting and smiled lightly. If he really can't buy the diamond, he can't rule out the possibility of robbery, anyway, it's stolen goods, and the way may not be clean.

"Maniac!"

Yang Ting felt jealous in her heart, why Shen Jing always had a man around her who was willing to pay for her. And the men around her, each of them has a different purpose.

"Don't ask, don't be so full of words, I hope diamonds are not something you are qualified to touch."

Jiang Siyin sneered. After suppressing it for so long, he finally had the opportunity to attack Mo Wen. The Hope Diamond has 45.52 carats, and the value of the jewelry alone is more than two billion, and this diamond. Steeped in historical significance and romance, it may not be the largest diamond in the world, but it is the most precious diamond in the world.

Don't ask. Don't be like them. ”

Shen Jing took Mo Wen's hand and persuaded: "Let's see, the husband is not guilty, and it may not be safe for us to buy such a good thing." ”

"If you can't afford it, you can't afford it, what excuse to make." Yang Ting pursed her lips and mocked disdainfully.

Andre, who was sitting in the back row, shook his head slightly, and patted the Hope Diamond, he didn't dare to make such a decision lightly; However, he was very curious about what kind of confidence this young man had to say that he had to take this diamond.

After the auction of Hope Diamonds began, for a long time, the venue fell silent, and no one bid; If it's an ordinary item, it's likely to mean that it won't be auctioned, but for Diamond Hope, it's almost impossible.

So the auctioneer was very calm, did not speak, just waited quietly, he knew that sooner or later someone would not be able to resist offering.

"Three hundred million!"

Finally, the first offer appeared on the screen, and it was directly extended by 100 million at a time. But no one in the venue was surprised, because everyone knew that it was impossible for 300 million to auction off the Hope Diamond, and the person who made this offer was just throwing bricks and stones.

With the first bidder, the scene seems to be unable to be suppressed anymore, the price on the screen is constantly refreshing, the bidding has grown wildly, and in a short period of time, the bidding price has reached 600 million, which is already three times the starting price.

Shen Jing held Mo Wen's hand tightly, and saw that Mo Wen had never made an offer, and was slightly relieved in her heart.

The price continued to rise, from 600 million all the way up to 700 million US dollars, and after a while, it soared to 800 million.

It wasn't until the bidding broke through $800 million that the bidding became smaller and smaller, and it seemed to be approaching the limit that some people could afford.

"Gutra, those rich people are simply crazy, are they tired of living, knowing that there is a terrible curse on the Hope Diamond, and they are still competing so wildly. More than 800 million US dollars, and if we continue to fight for it, we will not have the ability. ”

In a position at the back of the auditorium, a middle-aged man in a black suit with a gloomy face, wearing sunglasses that made his eyes invisible to others.

"Langrock, give up the competition, our wealth is limited, and it is impossible to use it all to buy this diamond."

There was an old man in a white suit sitting next to him, with an ordinary appearance, nothing unusual, but when he occasionally looked at others, he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, which made people's hearts chill, and subconsciously rose uneasy feelings.

"Hopefully, there's a good chance that the gem has something to do with ancient mythology, and I don't want to give it up?" The middleman Lang Rock said very unwillingly.

"Many people in history have much more information about the Hope Gem than we know, but when they got the Hope Gem, they didn't find anything out of it, but it was...... Got into bad luck ......"

Gutra closed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "The Hope Gem has indeed been mysteriously cursed, and in the endless years, no one has been able to break this curse, even if one of the sages and sages of our wizard family is said to have died under the curse of the Hope Gem. ”

"Is it really that scary?" Longrock gasped, his eyes were full of horror, he only knew that the Hope Gem was very mysterious, there was a mysterious curse on it, but he never knew that it was so terrible, the sages among wizards, actually died under the curse of hope, it was unbelievable.

In his wizard family, the sages are all legendary beings, and according to his knowledge, that kind of beings are almost close to gods, completely beyond the mundane beings.

Long Rock suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he was still thinking about taking the Hope Gem like this, and then breaking the curse on it to find out.

If a qiē is as Gutra said, then isn't he looking for death?

"You don't have to be too afraid, I hope the curse on the gem is strange, it doesn't seem to be for everyone, only for some. Not everyone who has ever obtained the Hope Gem will die under the curse, in fact, only a small number of people will be cursed by the Hope Gem, and the vast majority of the owners will not be harmed. So I'd love to get my hands on this gem of hope, and if I can solve the mystery of the curse, maybe I'll make an unexpected discovery. ”

Gutra looked at the Hope Gem on the booth, his eyes flashed with a deep desire to explore, few people know that this Hope Gem has caused a great storm in ancient times, and even many great people have died because of this gem.

Time has passed, and those who have coveted hope have given up their exploration of it, or even avoided it, and did not dare to contact this kind of thing. Because from ancient times to the present, no one has ever solved the secret of hope, only speculated that it is related to the ancient mythological era, but to this day, it is still a mystery for the ages.

Gutra comes from an ancient family of wizards, and as a wizard, he has a deep interest in unsolved mysteries. Although the wizarding world has long been forbidden, wizards are not allowed to study the Hope Gem without permission, and it is forbidden. But the more he did, the more interested he became, and the more eager he became.

"Gutra, I don't think you should risk it, even if the probability of being cursed is small, but risking your life for it, it's definitely not worth it."

Longrock frowned, Gutras knew that he wanted the Gem Sect, but he still wanted to contact it, he didn't agree with such behavior. Although he is also a wizard, he is also very interested in unknown puzzles, but only by living can he explore more mysteries, and if he dies, it will be a hundred.

And hopefully no one has been able to solve the puzzle for so many years, he doesn't think Gutra can do it.

"Longrock, you are still young, you can cherish life more. But I am old, I have lived for more than two hundred years, and even as a wizard, my life is about to run out; If I don't make a breakthrough, I'm afraid I won't live long. ”

Gutra glanced at Lang Rock deeply, and said seriously: "And as a wizard, the desire for knowledge can surpass life, the witch road is difficult, if you can't forget life and death, and devote yourself to the way, it is difficult to have any achievements in the witch road." ”

"Gutra, if you can set foot on the holy path, maybe you will have a chance to become a sage.

"Holy Word?"

Gutra sighed slightly, and said gloomily: "You and I are only from small families, and it is too difficult to ...... to take that step" (to be continued......)
