?Chapter 865


    Everyone nced at Nikki, sizing her up.


    "Hmph! Do you think one billion is impressive? I''ll pay 1.5 billion!" Julian raised the bid again. The Nicholsons may not have much of anything else, but they certainly had a lot of money. Not to mention, recently, he was in luck and earned a few billions. He had so much money now that he didn''t know how to spend it.


    "Two billion!" Nikki would not let up.


    The Jade Maiden Sisterhood had a budget of around five billion. As long as she could get the Jade Maiden Scroll, spending it all wasn''t a problem.


    "My, my. Are you challenging me? I''m curious to see what you''re capable of. Three billion!* Julian thundered with confidence.


    When he raised the price, several buyers gave up and left. Although the Jade Maiden Scripture was a precious treasure, it came with a major limitation. It was only useful for women.


    While spending a few hundred million to please their lover wasn''t an issue, a few billion wasn''t worth it.


    "Nikki, how much can your guild afford to pay?" Dustin asked suddenly.


    "About five billion, why? Nikki raised an eyebrow.


    "Alright, sounds good." Dustin nodded.


    He raised his hand. "We''ll pay five billion."


    "What?"


    Many were shocked when they heard the amount. Did they think five billion could fall from the sky?


    "That''s crazy? Who raises the price like that?"


    "I''m done ying. What''s this nonsense of adding two billion in one go?


    Following the mutteredints, several buyers left the room.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Hmph! Let''s see how long you can keep up with your arrogance!" The man behind the mask stood up and left, his gaze filled with resentment.


    However, he didn''t leave immediately. Instead, he found a secluded corner and made a call.


    "Hello, Miranda, I''ve spotted that guy. This time, we mustn''t let him get away!"


    Meanwhile, back inside the private room on the second floor.


    Dustin''s bid of five billion scared away half of the buyers and shocked Julian. The haughty women beside him were also astonished.


    "Kid! Do you really have five billion?" Julian questioned.


    "That''s none of your concern. If you don''t have the money, just get lost and stop being a nuisance here," Dustin said impassively.


    "That''s right! Get lost!" Nikki shouted. Although spending five billion was too much for her, it was worth it if that meant getting the Jade Maiden Scripture.


    "You dare look down on me, kid?"


    Julian''s expression turned grim. "Alright, then! Let me show you the difference between us. I''ll put up ten billion!"


    "What?"


    The crowd erupted into chaos with those words. Everyone was in shock and disbelief.


    It was ridiculous for the value to jump from five billion to ten billion. Who the hell was this guy? How was he that rich?


    "Ten billion?" Nikki froze, her face turning pale.


    Five billion was her limit. Ten billion was far more than what she had. It waspletely unattainable.


    "You were pretty arrogant just now, kid. Why are you silent now?"


    Julianughed and taunted, ''Oh, you haven''t run out of money, have you? Could it be that you can''t evene up with a measly ten billion?


    "Oh, my god? No way? You can''t be that poor, can you?


    "You don''t even have ten billion? Doesn''t that mean you''re aplete loser?


    "If I were you, I wouldn''t even dare publicly show my face!"
