    This little episode passed very quickly. Xie Lan returned to his seat as if nothing had happened and started to participate in the auction.


    Because they knew that thest piece of the collection was the ind and that the Ninth Master was going to make a move, no one present was in the mood to do so.


    The starting price of the ind was one billion.


    Huo Xiting casually raised his card, and Xie Lan did not want to fall behind.


    When it was five billion, Xie Lan didn’t raise the sign again. He suddenly nced at Huo Xiting. “How can the Ninth master be sure that she wants your gift?”<div>


    <font <="" div="">


    Ye Beisheng frowned. What was Xie Lan doing?


    Huo Xiting didn’t even look at Xie Lan, and Xie Lan didn’t care. He said something that no one else could understand, “If she doesn’t want it, would the Ninth Master still insist on giving it to her? Just like what you did back then?”


    Back then? What did he mean back then?


    Ye Beisheng pricked up her ears.


    Unfortunately, Xie Lan didn’t say anything more. Instead, he raised the price to six billion.


    By now, thepetition for money was getting heated.


    It was extremely difficult to withdraw six billion in liquid funds. Fortunately, the auction didn’t need liquid funds. Any real estate or even shares could be considered funds.


    Huo Xitings worth had already exceeded 100 billion US dors. Xie Lan controlled one-third of the world’s californium element, so he must also be loaded as well.


    Oh right, the califorium element.


    Ye Beisheng suddenly remembered that her third brother said that her fiancé controlled the califorium element in the world, but it seemed like… Not one-third?


    How much was it?


    Was that person Xie Lan? If so, why didn’t Xie Lan just say it? If not, why was he hiding it?


    The bidding price of an ind was increasing by billions. Even though the people present were used to seeing wealth, they still couldn’t help but whisper.


    “Looks like it’s going to be at least ten billion….. These two are willing to pay 10 billion.’


    “The Ninth master is the richest man. What does it mean to him? Do you really think that just because he’s worth 100 billion, he only has that much money? Moreover, there was nothing wrong with taking down that ind.


    They could earn it back sooner orter by developing tourism.”


    When it was eight billion, Xie Lan’s fingertips paused for a moment before he smiled and said, “Looks like Ninth Master Huffs assets are a little more than I imagined. ”


    Ye Beishengs anger red up.


    What was this person showing off? Was Xie Lan showing off that these assets would be his in the future? Was he gloating here?


    She was about to speak, but Huo Xiting beat her to it.


    The man’s tone was still as t as ever. He did not even have any expression. “That only means that your imagination is not rich enough.”


    Ye Beisheng was speechless.


    How could she have forgotten that Huo Xiting was best at making others speechless. ”


    Xie Lan was not annoyed. He added one billion slowly, “Is that so? Looks like the Ninth master will definitely battle with me till the end for this?”


    The auction had already reached 9 billion.


    Huo Xiting chuckled.


    Everyone thought that he was going to increase the bid by 1 billion to 10 billion and sessfully take down this ind.


    However, he did not expect…


    “9.6 billion.”


    Everyone was speechless. What?


    Only 600 million? This was not Huo Xitings usual style.


    Xie Lan’s face suddenly darkened!


    Ye Beisheng blinked. 9.6 billion? She also thought that Huo Xgiting would take advantage of the situation to reach 10 billion…


    However, Xie Lan did not speak for a long time. Ye Beishen suddenly understood that Huo Xiting had won.


    He didn’t need 10 billion. 9.6 billion was his win.


    Xie Lan’s expression changed again and again, but his expression was still as gentle as jade, seemingly helpless. “Since the Ninth master wants it so badly, I shall give it to you.”


    Everyone was in an uproar. It seemed that the Ninth master had won. “It’s not that you quit.” Unexpectedly, Huo Xiting said lightly, “You’ve been defeated..</font>
