The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 946: Chapter 963: The Overbearing Princess Meier

Princess Meier noticed Ye Feng, a man from Dragon Country, astonishingly was in a royal private room, which surprised her. But that surprise quickly passed; she had no interest in paying attention to Ye Feng. After all, in her eyes, someone like Ye Feng was not worth her slightest attention.

At that moment, a middle-aged man walked onto the stage of the auction hall.

The middle-aged man was the host of this auction. Holding a microphone, he excitedly said, ”Distinguished guests, gentlemen, ladies, welcome, welcome to the Shengshi Chamber of Commerce, joining our triennial auction. Here, you can witness various rare and unusual treasures being auctioned.

Whatever you can imagine, you can see here. Now I announce, the Shengshi Auction officially begins! I hope everyone can find something they like at this auction, and wish you all a fruitful return!”

Instantly, the entire hall’s atmosphere heated up as the host loudly said, ”Alright, now let’s bring out the first item of today’s auction!”

As soon as he finished speaking, staff members pushed a trolley to the center stage.

On the trolley was a medieval artifact, and the host said, ”This piece is a masterpiece from medieval Europe, but it’s quite damaged. The starting bid is one million; each increment must be no less than ten thousand. Please start bidding.”

Seeing the artifact, Princess Meier’s eyes showed interest, ”The craftsmanship is quite exquisite. I’ll buy it to play with, or maybe gift it to my father; he’ll probably be delighted.”

”One million and ten thousand!” Subsequently, Princess Meier announced her price.

”Princess Meier bids one million and ten thousand; does anyone have a higher offer?” the host asked curiously.

”Princess Meier!” After Princess Meier bid, everyone fell silent. Even those wanting to purchase this antique artifact dared not make a sound because they didn’t want to offend Princess Meier. They knew if they competed with her over something she liked, she would definitely be displeased.

Ultimately, Princess Meier acquired the antique artifact, and the host’s expression was very unhappy.

Originally, they thought this antique artifact could be auctioned for at least two million, but because Princess Meier placed a bid, no one dared to compete with her.

The auction continued, and Princess Meier bid twice on the following treasures, each time adding just ten thousand and successfully winning the items, collecting them.

At that moment, the host’s eyes showed excitement, ”Ladies and gentlemen, the next item is quite special; it’s a Martial Arts Cultivation Method handed down a thousand years ago from our country. The base price is ten million, and each increment must be no less than five hundred thousand. Please place your bids!”

”Cultivation Method!” Hearing the host’s introduction, the venue stirred, and everyone was astonished. They didn’t expect that right after the auction started, a Cultivation Method would appear.

”Oh?” Princess Meier’s eyes showed strong interest. Cultivation Methods are rare things; it’s known that their royal family has very advanced cultivation methods.

However, their household’s guards had very basic methods for cultivation, and they couldn’t teach the royal methods to those guards. This book would be perfect for their household’s guards to cultivate.

”Eleven million!” Someone immediately bid, and the auction felt more lively.

As for Ye Feng, he wasn’t interested in this method at all. Ye Feng knew at least a hundred cultivation methods, most of which were far superior to this one, so he dismissed it.

”Twelve million... Thirteen million... Fifteen million...”

Soon, the price reached fifteen million with a tendency to continue rising.

”Thirty million!” At that moment, Princess Meier spoke, her voice clearly echoing throughout the auction hall.

”Thirty million!” Everyone gasped, their eyes showing shock.

For ordinary third-tier royal families, thirty million is a very large sum indeed.

They couldn’t believe Princess Meier raised the price to thirty million without batting an eye.

After Princess Meier bid, many people at the venue helplessly lowered their heads. They knew if Princess Meier liked something, she would definitely obtain it; otherwise, she wouldn’t let it go.

Virtually everyone present dared not offend Princess Meier, so they all gave up bidding.

The host frowned; he originally thought the auction could go higher, but now that Princess Meier bid, there likely wouldn’t be anyone brave enough to increase the price.

”Thirty million, Princess Meier bids thirty million; is there anyone with a higher offer?” the host asked.

Everyone fell into silence, lowering their heads; the host saw this and felt very helpless himself.

”Thirty-three million!” But at that moment, a blonde, blue-eyed American in a noble private room loudly shouted.

”Oh!” Instantly, the host’s eyes showed excitement, ”A guest from room eight nobility bids thirty-three million; does anyone have a higher offer?”

”Thirty-five million!” Princess Meier coldly shouted, her face becoming somewhat grim.

Afterward, Princess Meier looked toward the blonde, blue-eyed American in room eight and said, ”Friend, I’ve set my eyes on this method, could you do me the favor and not compete...”

Upon hearing Princess Meier’s words, the host’s expression turned very unpleasant. Since it’s an auction, bids are naturally expected. If anyone else dared say such a thing and prevented others from bidding, the Shengshi Chamber would have likely already dealt with them. But alas, that person happened to be Princess Meier, and her backing was something even the Shengshi Chamber couldn’t afford to offend.

Thus, seeing Princess Meier’s overbearing behavior, they could only choose to tolerate it.
