Chapter 215 There Is No Craziest But Crazier
Boris also realized that his recent state was not right.
There were always some dark images in his mind. Occasionally, when he was dreaming, he would hear crying and screaming, which greatly affected his sleep.
Without Biber saying, he originally planned to see a doctor.
The two settled on the matter.
Steven waited for the two of them to stop before he said a few words, “Boris, you look so pale, why don’t you go back and rest
first?”
Boris shook his head, “The auction is about to begin.”
Seeing his appearance, Steven asked curiously, “Boris, do you have any auction items you want?”
“Yes,” Boris leaned his head back on the sofa and answered in a deep voice.
After the three of them finished speaking, within ten minutes, the auction was announced to begin.
It was indeed the largest and most worthy auction event on this voyage. The first item on display was rare treasures.
At first, Steven just came along to join in the fun and didn’t intend to bid, but later he was moved and bid several times.
On the contrary, the other two, from the first to the ninth lot, were all indifferent, like old monks in meditation.
It wasn’t until the auctioneer on the stage introduced the tenth lot that they reacted.
Boris raised his eyes to look down, and there was a touch of coldness in the bottom of his eyes.
The tenth lot was the last auction item of today, and it was also the finale lot.
The auctioneer praised without hesitation, “This is a gift from nature. It is a rare pure natural purple diamond cut according to the golden ratio in the world. It weighs 36 Carats, was excavated in Vitra State, and was once exhibited in the world’s largest natural history museum. After Henry XII’s victory, he made this purple diamond into a diamond ring and gave it to his beloved princess.”
“This is what we called, brave heart!”
The auctioneer was so excited that he suddenly lifted the red silk, and under the spotlight, all eyes were on it.
The radiant purple diamond was noble and mysterious. As soon as it appeared, the audience was silent, as if they were amazed
by its beauty.
Satisfied with the response, the auctioneer hit the table with a hammer.
“Purple Diamond, the Brave Heart, the starting price is 16 million dollars, with each increase of 200 thousand dollars! The
auction starts now!”
As soon as the words fell, the bidders on the scene became lively, bidding one after another, and it lasted for half an hour without stopping.
The price of Brave Heart had soared from the initial 16 million to 160 million, but it was still rising!
Steven couldn’t help sighing when he heard the price increase one after another, “As expected, it’s so impressive! It’s been multiplied several times in less than half an hour. According to this, we can’t get it by less than 600 million.”
Biber snorted and glanced at Boris next to him from the corner of his eye, thinking that 600 million might be too conservative.
As expected.
An hour later, the price of the purple diamond was still rising, and the price had already reached 700 million dollars.
Although it was a rare treasure, everyone could dream of it, but not everyone could afford such a cost.
There were many bidders before, but they were gradually defeated, and there were only three or four scattered boxes left at the scene, still competing.
“726 million!”
“727 million!”
“728 billion!”
…
Several bidders raised their bids lazily, without rushing, as if they were teasing a prey that had already been obtained.
Because this price, compared with the value of the diamond ring itself, had exceeded a lot.
Tempting each other and playing psychological warfare, no one was willing to rush to be taken advantage of.
At this time.
Suddenly someone in the auditorium raised a sign, and the spotlight instantly fell on his face.
The man on the big screen, with an elegant smile and a red mole at the end of his left eye, was extremely attractive.
He nodded slightly, and said softly, “800 million!”
In the late stage of the auction, such a large price increase was an act that hurt others and did not benefit oneself!
But at the same time, it also sent a message to everyone present that he was bound to win this auction!
“It’s Edi!” Nina grabbed Susan’s arm, “Edi bids for this diamond ring!”

“Do you think he bids it to give Ziana?” Nina was already envious, “Ah… he was so handsome when he said 800 million just now! A man is the most handsome when he spends money without thinking! So handsome!”
Just as Susan was about to speak, a voice came from another box upstairs.
“820 million!”
Immediately afterward, Boris, who had been silent all this time, gave the waiter next to him a wink.
The waiter said, “840 million!”
Edison held up the sign again, “860 million!”
The crowd was in an uproar, and the few bidders who originally competed with them were all speechless!
Were these people crazy?
They are still adding twenty million each time. Do they really think that the money is blown by a strong wind?
How did they say 800 million as if it’s 10 dollars?
There was silence.
Some lamented that these subsequent bidders were really stupid, they didn’t understand the rules, and they harmed others
without benefiting themselves.
Some people were lamenting that this was really the world of the rich, and one could beat people to death with money!
The happiest one was the auctioneer standing on the stage.
He could already make a profit if the price was 600 million, and now it had soared to 860 million, which was a huge profit! “860 million, is there any price increase?” he restrained his voice trembling with excitement, “860 million once!”
“860 million twice!”
“A billion!”
Another bid was made from the No. 8 box from upstairs.
The auctioneer’s heart hung in his throat, this… this was almost the pinnacle of his auction career!
“Is there a price increase for a billion?” he said and looked at Edison who was in the audience.
Edison pursed his lips and chose to abstain.
He was originally an unfavored prince and didn’t have many assets, and these assets were accumulated in recent years.
He was a rational man with a clear understanding of himself, and he knew how to choose which was best for him.
The auctioneer saw that he had put down the bidding card, and looked towards Box No. 6 upstairs again.
Just now, the bidder of No.6 was still competing, he wondered if the bidder would raise the price.
At this time, in No.6 box.
“Fuck!” Steven yelled, “A billion! It’s so crazy! What kind of stupid person is sitting in the eighth box? It’s weird to spoil a woman as if he is mad! No matter what, it’s just a diamond. You cannot eat or drink it when you are hungry or thirsty! Boris, do you think that person is stupid?”
Boris glanced at him, Steven was completely puzzled and then saw Boris raise his hand.
The waiter quoted, “1.2 billion!”
Steven was dumbfounded!
He thought that the bidder in box No. 8 was brainless, but he didn’t expect the real brainless one to be beside him!
Steven looked like dementia.
Everyone in the auction house had the same reaction as him!
They thought, “If the person in the sixth box was a lunatic? How could he add two hundred million each time?”
But soon, they witnessed that there was no craziest but crazier!
