Translator: Dragon Boat Translation   Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

On the stage, Sakikawa Taro received the statistics from the staff and was about to announce it.

At this moment, his gaze suddenly froze. He thought that he was seeing things. He hurriedly looked at it carefully for a moment to confirm that the statistics on it were correct.

He raised his head and looked at Ye Feng as if nothing had happened. His expression changed again and again.

His abnormal behavior immediately aroused the doubts of the people below the stage.

According to the previous practice, Sakikawa Taro would immediately announce the results after receiving them. Why was he hesitating now?

“Sakikawa-san, is there a problem with the statistics this time? Why didn’t you announce it?”

Someone on the stage immediately raised a question.

Only then did Sakikawa Taro react and immediately perked up. “Ahem, it’s nothing. I’m a little presbyopic, so I didn’t see clearly. Item 063, the highest bid is 2.45 million… 1 dollar in j.a.panese currency. The bidder is… China’s Maple Leaf Pavilion!

When he said 0.45 million’, Miki Chaoyang had already slowly stood up and started to wave at everyone, ready to accept his congratulations.

However, when he heard the word ‘1 dollar’, his legs went soft and he almost fell to the ground.

What the h*ll was this ‘1 dollar’? Did the auction house make a mistake?

As soon as this doubt appeared in his mind, he heard the last sentence of Sakikawa Taro.

Maple Leaf Pavilion? What the h*ll was that?

But he quickly reacted. Maple Leaf Pavilion? Wasn’t that Ye Fengs antique shop?

Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at Ye Feng. “This is your price?”

Ye Feng revealed a harmless smile. “l said earlier, I have a little more confidence than you, it’s really just a little.”

After he finished speaking, he did not care how ugly Miki Chaoyangs expression was. He brought the ecstatic Lin Qianqian and stood up, waving to the others.

A round of applause immediately rang out in the venue to congratulate the two of them.

Miki Chaoyang looked coldly at Ye Fengs arrogant appearance. He could not help but feel hatred in his heart.

He had already decided on the best items in this collection beforehand.

Who would have thought that this kid would actually come out of nowhere and rob him?

And it was only 1 dollar more than him. It made him so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

Sitting next to him, Takayama s.h.i.ta hurriedly said, “Miki-san, please calm down. This kid is a blind cat that ran into a dead mouse. Let him have this collection. Just treat it as sending away a beggar. We still have so much.” Miki Chaoyang snorted coldly and could only temporarily suppress the anger in his heart.

He had no other choice but to suppress it. The results had already been announced. What else could he do?

He could only hope that this kid was really a blind cat who had met a dead mouse,

His offer was confidential, and that kid probably wouldn’t know in advance.

However, his psychological comfort did not last long. Soon, it was his turn to bid for the second item.

“The highest bid for Item 012 is…” Sakikawa Taro held the statistics sheet and read it halfway. His voice suddenly stopped and his face revealed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

The people below the stage waited for a moment. Seeing that he had no intention of continuing to announce it, a wave of discussion immediately sounded.

“What’s wrong with Sakikawa- san? Why is he stuck again?”

“l don’t know. It was the same last time. He seems to be very surprised by this result.’

“That’s a little strange. Why would he be surprised by the results?”

“To be able to surprise a person, unless he already had an answer before, and the answer he obtained now is beyond his expectations…”

The discussions of the crowd below the stage reached Sakikawa Taro’s ears, and he immediately woke up from his daze. He hurriedly continued to announce the results.

“The highest bid for Item 012 is… 1,720,001 j.a.panese dollars. The bidder is… China’s Maple Leaf Pavilion! ”

Hua…

Exclamations rang out from below the stage again.

Maple Leaf Pavilion, Maple Leaf Pavilion again?

This time, Miki Chaoyang didn’t get up as impulsively as before, but he still groaned.

However, when he heard the final result, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body froze there, and he did not know whether to stand or sit.

Maple Leaf Pavilion? Why was it this Maple Leaf Pavilion again?

He looked at Ye Feng with bloodshot eyes, like a wolf that was about to devour someone.

It was fine if it was a coincidence once, but now it happened again.

Every time he quoted a price, it was 1 yuan higher than his.

If he still thought that this was a coincidence, then he had lived all these years in vain.

This kid knew his offer in advance!

He immediately thought of a possibility and turned to look at Takayama s.h.i.ta.

Before this, other than him and his trusted aides, only this person knew his bid.

Those trusted aides had followed him through life and death for decades. They would never betray him.

There was only one possibility.

This b*stard must have revealed his reserve price to that kid.

Takayama s.h.i.ta met his gaze and shivered. “Miki-san, it really wasn’t me, I really didn’t reveal your offer to this kid. 1 swear to G.o.d!’

He knew very well how ruthless Miki Chaoyang’s methods were, so he hurriedly swore his loyalty.

Miki Chaoyang stared at him fiercely. “If you didn’t tell him the price, why did this kid only bid 1 dollar more than me? And you still say it wasn’t you?”

Takayama s.h.i.ta shook his head like a wavy drum. “Miki-san, think about it. What good will it do for me to do this? My wife and children are in your hands. If I dare to betray you so brazenly, I’ll only end up with my family destroyed. ”

After hearing his explanation, Miki Chaoyang felt that it made sense.

This time, when he invited Takayama s.h.i.ta to come out of seclusion, not only did he give him a considerable reward, but he also detained his family for insurance. He had no reason to betray him.

But if it wasn’t Takayama s.h.i.ta who betrayed him, who could it be?

Ye Feng once again expressed his grat.i.tude to everyone present and returned to his seat. “What’s wrong, Miki-san? You don’t look too good.”

Miki Chaoyang stared at him with a cold smile. “Mr. Ye, you’re really good. These two items are the real treasures. You actually bought them at such a low price. Amazing!’

Ye Feng humbly waved his hand. “Luck, it’s all luck.”

Then, he added, “Miki-san, you haven’t gotten your favorite collection yet?”

Miki Chaoyangs face twitched a few times, and he nodded with a fake smile. “There’s no rush. Let’s wait a little longer.”

He was just perfunctory at first, but who would have thought that the next few items would end up in the same way?

Every time Ye Feng bid, it was 1 dollar more than him.

Miki Chaoyangs expression became more and more unsightly. In the end, it was terrifyingly gloomy.

Some of the buyers sitting around him could also tell that something was wrong with his expression. They all stood up and sat further away..
