Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Chapter 2997 Auction

"Gevitch, why are you here?" Chen Zhao came to the auction venue.

"Chen, I didn't expect you to be here." Lila Gaevich looked at Chen Zhao in surprise: "You don't have your eye on something, right?"

Lira Gaevitch's whole body was in bad condition.

Of course he came here to buy something.

And now a suspected competitor has emerged.

If there were another competitor, Lila Gaevich would even think about making the competitor disappear from the world.

But Chen Zhao obviously does not belong to the operable type.

Chen Zhao is richer and stronger than him.

Another thing is that he owes Chen Zhao a huge favor.

"No, Steven is my friend. He invited me here. I'm here to sit down. Is there anything you need from this auction?" Chen Zhao asked.

"Uh...this..." Lila Gaevich hesitated.

"I promise I won't bid with you." Chen Zhao said with a shrug.

"An artifact." Lila Gaevich lowered his voice and said, "I saw it in the auction brochure. Chen, you really won't bid with me, right?"

Chen Zhao rolled his eyes and joked, a mere artifact is not worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Not long after, the auction started, and Chen Zhao and Lila Gaevich sat together.

Because there was no item that Lila Gaevitch needed to bid for yet, the two chatted in low voices.

Steven serves as the promoter of this auction.

Half of the people present were his relatives, friends or connections.

Several of them were met by Chen Zhao at Steven's private party.

Maybe we had a few chats, or maybe it was just a casual encounter.

In this kind of public place, people who look familiar to each other will nod.

Most of the lots in this auction are in the million-dollar range.

Two of them were unsold, and the two that were unsold were probably going to fall on Steven's hands.

After completing the auction of the eighth lot.

At this time, the auctioneer began to announce the ninth lot.

Crimson Star, a six kilogram red crystal.

This red crystal is of exceptional quality.

And under the deliberate lighting of the auction table, it looked dazzling.

Even the rich people present were attracted by this crimson star.

beautiful.

Chen Zhao clearly felt that Lila Gaevich's spirit was lifted. It seemed that this was his goal.

However, Chen Zhao couldn't help but frown when he looked at the crimson star.

Because he also has one on hand.

Crimson Star’s base price is $1 million.

As soon as the auctioneer announced the price, Lira Gaevich was already shouting out the price uncontrollably.

"one million."

"One million and fifty thousand."

"Four million dollars."

The scene was already in an uproar.

They didn't expect that a red crystal would fetch such a high price.

According to the market price, they will definitely lose money, and they will suffer serious losses.

Generally, the price of jewelry collections at auction will be relatively close to the actual price.

For example, this large red crystal itself has no significant reputation or biography in history.

Therefore, the price between one million US dollars and two million US dollars is more in line with its actual price.

But now, the price has actually been raised to four million US dollars.

This is obviously beyond most people's expectations.

But what’s even more surprising is what’s behind.

As the auction continued, the price soared to $10 million.

Chen Zhao looked at the four people bidding with Lila Gaevich.

A beautiful woman in a red dress, the other three are all men, and they are all psychics.

But Lira Gaevich still has no intention of giving up.

The other four didn't give up either.

When the price reached $20 million, one bidder dropped out.

Including Lira Gaevich, the four bidders were already blushing.

"Gevitch, is this Crimson Star the artifact you want?" Chen Zhao asked in a low voice.

"Well, the Crimson Star, to be precise, is Frigga's red star. Frigga is..."

"I know... the wife of Leodin in Norse mythology, the Queen of Gods, the Warner Clan, and the Queen of Magic."

Chen Zhao replied: "Is this Crimson Star genuine?"

"Of course, I have investigated it and it is genuine." Lila Gaevich said with certainty.

"Then are there any similar models to this thing?"

"This is impossible, this is a divine weapon."

"Then do you think this one currently being auctioned is a fake?"

"Chen, before the auction started, I had already contacted Mr. Steven and asked an expert to conduct an appraisal."

"What's your psychological price point?" Chen Zhao asked in a low voice.

Lila Gaevich hesitated slightly: "One billion dollars... But I don't have that much cash on hand. If that time comes, I'm afraid you need to support me... But I don't think the price will be that high. I don’t want to make headlines.”

"I also have one on hand, very similar to the one in front of me."

"I think the one in your hand is more likely to be a fake." Lila Gaevich said firmly.

"I just got that one."

"Maybe you should go find the person who gave you the thing, and maybe you can get back the money you were defrauded of."

"It's not that I bought it, I killed that person and got it from that person's collection room."

"Um...well, I guess he is not just unlucky. Of course, you are quite unlucky too."

"He is a god, a real god. I didn't expect that there would be fakes in his treasure house."

"What!?" Lila Gaevich cried out.

"Sir, please sit down and if you still want to bid, please bid. The current price is $31 million."

"Sorry..." Lila Gaevich sat down again, but couldn't hide the shock on his face.

Lila Gaevich lowered his voice: "Chen, are you telling the truth?"

"The god I killed happened to be a god from Nordic mythology." Chen Zhao said.

Lila Gaevich turned his head again and looked at the Crimson Star on the auction table.

Then look at Chen Zhao seriously again.

"Twenty million US dollars." Chen Zhao said.

Lila Gaevich nodded immediately: "Okay, no problem...but I need to pay in installments."

"If you want to pay in installments, it will be based on the bank interest rate."

"no problem."

Lira Gaevich was even more excited. This had nothing to do with whether he had money or not.

Mainly because Chen Zhao gave an affirmative answer.

As for the Crimson Star on the auction stage in front of him, he was only 70 to 80 percent sure about it.

If I really take it home, I won’t even have time to cry.

The crimson star in Chen Zhao's hand must be real.

After all, he killed a god from Norse mythology.

Then the origin of the crimson star in his hand is undoubtedly more convincing.

Lira Gaevitch made no further bids, but the Crimson Star auction continued.

The remaining three raised Crimson Star's price to $245.5 million.
