Chapter 476: 10 Billion

In a very nonchalant tone, Qin Tuo casually said:

"I’ll bid six billion for this Dharma Artifact."

The moment the words left his lips, the entire room was dumbfounded.

Everyone stared blankly at Qin Tuo, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They couldn’t help but think, ’This guy talks big!’

Could a kid who hadn’t even grown a full beard really pull out six billion?

After all, there were consequences for making empty boasts if you couldn’t produce the six billion.

Liu Zhenghai was completely stunned as well. But he quickly came to his senses, convinced Qin Tuo was just trying to stir up trouble.

And so, in front of everyone, Liu Zhenghai sneered coldly.

"Boss Wu, did you hear that? This guy is obviously here to cause a scene. Aren’t you going to have someone throw him out?"

On the stage, Wu Qihao’s expression turned grim. Of course he thought Qin Tuo was just joking!

This was six billion! Didn’t he see that even the Zhu Family had balked at such a number?

Yet here was Qin Tuo, all by himself, shouting out that figure. If that wasn’t a joke, what was?

With that thought, Wu Qihao spoke out publicly.

"Young man, if you can’t produce that money later, I’ll have to have you removed!"

Faced with everyone’s doubts, Qin Tuo didn’t waste any words. He simply tossed a bank card onto the table.

Holding the card, he said casually:

"There are two billion in this card. If you don’t believe me, you can have someone verify it right now. Do you think a person who carries around a card with two billion on it can’t come up with a mere six billion?"

His words, filled with an intense dominance and confidence, instantly plunged the entire room into dead silence.

"Hmph, that card is a fake, isn’t it, kid!"

Liu Zhenghai was certain Qin Tuo must be bluffing.

Wu Qihao was also highly skeptical. ’Could this shabby-looking card really have two billion in it?’

So he waved his hand and summoned a staff member.

"Go and verify this card!"

Not daring to delay, the staff member immediately took the card from Qin Tuo’s hand to have the funds verified.

Meanwhile, everyone in the auction hall waited silently, ready to see Qin Tuo make a fool of himself.

Soon, the results came back!

The staff member ran back with the card, his face flushed with excitement as he said:

"Boss Wu, we’ve checked! There’s really two billion in cash on this card!"

Upon hearing this clearly, everyone once again sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.

They all began to wonder, ’What kind of terrifying background does this Qin Tuo have?’

He could actually produce two billion in cash!

After all, if someone could pull out a card with two billion, it wasn’t surprising at all that they could come up with six billion.

Wu Qihao stood on the stage in shock, speechless for a long moment.

He had to admit, he had misjudged again!

As for Liu Zhenghai, his jaw dropped, his mind a complete mess.

At that moment, he felt like a clown who had just slapped himself hard across the face.

Qin Tuo looked at Liu Zhenghai with a smile and asked:

"Do you have anything else to say now? If you don’t raise the bid, this piece of rotten wood is mine!"

Hearing this, Liu Zhenghai became flustered and exasperated.

If he couldn’t continue to raise the price, then the Dharma Artifact would undoubtedly belong to Qin Tuo.

The thought of how he had just been mocking Qin Tuo, only to be defeated now, filled Liu Zhenghai’s face with shame and anger. He simply couldn’t swallow this humiliation.

In his desperation, he pointed a finger at Qin Tuo and said furiously:

"Kid, didn’t you say this thing was a fake? Why are you so worked up over a fake?"

This was the question on many people’s minds. Since Qin Tuo had insisted earlier that it was just a piece of rotten wood, why was he now willing to pay such a sky-high price for it?

In the entire auction hall, no one could fathom Qin Tuo’s true thoughts.

Faced with the question, Qin Tuo answered casually:

"None of your business! Even if I spend a fortune on a piece of trash, that’s my business, not yours. If you don’t have the money, then sit down and stop embarrassing yourself!"

What! No money?

Those two words deeply provoked Liu Zhenghai.

The Liu Family had a massive reputation in the Capital City! Yet now, in front of everyone, a young punk was accusing him of being poor.

Seeing Qin Tuo stand up to him so forcefully, everyone in the audience broke into a cold sweat on his behalf.

Now everyone knew Liu Zhenghai was about to explode!

Sure enough, as if throwing all caution to the wind, Liu Zhenghai yelled out:

"I bid seven billion!"

As he spoke, he stared daggers at Qin Tuo, unleashing an unconcealed murderous intent.

But Qin Tuo slowly followed up with his own bid:

"I bid eight billion!"

The whole room was profoundly shocked once again. They never expected Qin Tuo to actually choose to completely burn his bridges with the Liu Family.

Moreover, the price had now reached the terrifying figure of eight billion, leaving everyone too astonished to speak.

A conflicted look appeared in Liu Zhenghai’s eyes!

But at this point, the arrow had left the bow; there was no turning back.

So, Liu Zhenghai continued to shout loudly:

"Nine billion!"

But after shouting this number, he was panting heavily. Clearly, this sum was a massive burden even for his Liu Family.

Just when he thought Qin Tuo would give up, Qin Tuo remained seated, speaking again with complete calm and composure.

"I bid nine and a half billion!"

Many people were completely stupefied. ’This young man is just too insane, isn’t he?’

’He’s trying to drive the Liu Family to its death!’

Liu Zhenghai’s eyes were bloodshot. He forced out the words, one by one:

"I bid... ten billion!"

When this number echoed through the hall, everyone present went completely wild.

On the stage, Wu Qihao’s hands couldn’t stop trembling!

He had never, ever imagined he would land such a massive haul today.

Even as a famous merchant from Bay Port, Wu Qihao had never made such a huge profit in a single transaction!

’I’ve struck it rich! I’ve really struck it rich! HAHA...’

Wu Qihao was roaring with excitement internally, his face flushed bright red.

When Liu Zhenghai shouted this price, he looked like a madman, his eyes as red as a rabbit’s.
