When his spiritual power probed it, it vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.
They couldn't even catch a glimpse of the other party.
"Damn it! Who on earth is it?!"
"When did such a terrifying being arrive in Heaven Dou City?!"
A tremendous storm raged in Dugu Bo's heart.
They didn't even dare to make any unnecessary movements, for fear of displeasing the mysterious powerful figure.
As for the bullshit whale glue that Prince Xuexing wanted, in his opinion, it was utterly worthless compared to his own life!
"Mr. Dugu! I am speaking to you! Did you hear me?!"
When Prince Xuexing saw that Dugu Bo ignored him for a long time, his face darkened.
Although he needed to rely on Dugu Bo's strength, he was, after all, a prince and a member of the royal family.
Since when did it become the turn of an outsider to give me attitude?
"The price has already reached 1.8 million! If you don't let me place a bid soon, the item will really be gone!"
Prince Xuexing already showed a hint of anger.
Dugu Bo was annoyed by his noise and suddenly turned his head, his emerald green eyes staring intently at Prince Xuexing.
Prince Xuexing felt as if he were being stared at by a venomous snake, a chill running straight to the top of his head.
Looking into Dugu Bo's emotionless eyes, he was so frightened that he couldn't utter a single word.
This was the first time he had ever seen Dugu Bo look at him like that.
"Your Highness, I advise you to behave yourself."
"We might be in big trouble tonight."
"Big...big trouble? What kind of trouble?"
"Just now, a powerful expert whose strength far surpasses mine locked onto us with his mental power."
"What?!" Prince Xuexing exclaimed in shock. "His strength far surpasses yours?! Then... then wouldn't that mean..."
He didn't dare to think about it any more.
Dugu Bo is a level 91 Title Douluo.
Those stronger than him must be at least Super Douluo of level 95 or above!
Why would someone of this caliber target me for no reason?
"What...what does he want to do?"
"I don't know." Dugu Bo shook his head.
"But since the other party is only targeting us and has not made a direct move, it means that he has no malicious intent for the time being."
"However, just to be on the safe side, we'd better not cause any more trouble."
"It's just a piece of whale glue. What does it matter compared to our lives?"
"Your Highness, you don't want to offend someone we can't afford to offend over such a trivial matter, do you?"
Dugu Bo's words instantly calmed Prince Xuexing down.
Although he was lustful and pleasure-seeking, he was not stupid.
They are well aware that their power and status are based on the fact that they are still alive.
What's the use of having more whale gel if you're already dead?
Thinking of this, Prince Xuexing broke out in a cold sweat.
He glanced out the window at the whale glue that had been hyped up to a staggering two million yuan. Although his eyes were filled with reluctance, reason ultimately prevailed over desire.
"Okay... okay."
"I'll... I'll listen to Mr. Dugu."
He nodded with difficulty, essentially giving up the fight for the last piece of whale glue.
Meanwhile, the bidding below the stage had entered its final, frenzied phase.
"Two million and one million!"
"I'll give you 2.2 million!"
"Two million three hundred thousand!"
A fat man with red eyes roared out the price.
This price was enough to deter most people present.
The auctioneer stood on the stage, his face flushed with excitement.
"Two million three hundred thousand! Is there anything higher?!"
"This is top-grade whale glue that's been aged for 50,000 years! If you miss this opportunity, you'll never have it again!"
He is still tirelessly encouraging them.
But no one was able to match the price anymore.
"Two million three hundred thousand per time!"
"Two million three hundred thousand twice!"
Just as the auctioneer was about to bring down the gavel.
The previously silent VIP room number one finally began to make noise again.
"I will relinquish this last piece of whale glue."
"Congratulations to this gentleman for winning first place."
Although the voice was not loud, it carried an undeniable authority and clearly resonated throughout the entire venue.
Upon hearing this self-proclaimed title, everyone knew that the person in Box Number One was indeed Prince Xue Xing!
And the meaning of his words is quite clear.
It's not that he can't afford it, he just disdains competing with you "mortals".
The fat man who offered 2.3 million was stunned for a moment when he heard Prince Xuexing's words, and then his face lit up with joy.
He quickly stood up and bowed deeply towards the direction of VIP room number one on the second floor.
"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"
"I am Bart, a marquis of the Kingdom of Barak!"
"It is truly an honor to bid alongside His Highness the Prince today!"
"I did not bid on this top-grade whale glue for my own consumption! Rather, I wish to present it to His Highness the Prince as a token of my respect!"
"I hope Your Highness will not find it offensive!"
These words caused an uproar in the entire auction hall!
Everyone looked at the fat Marquis Bart with the eyes of someone looking at a madman.
Is this guy insane?!
I spent 2.3 million gold soul coins to buy a treasure, but now I have to give it away to someone else?
What is this operation?
Everyone was baffled; their minds were reeling.
Even the auctioneer on stage was stunned, unsure of what to say.
Meanwhile, in VIP room number one on the second floor.
After hearing what the fat man said, the expressions on Prince Xuexing and Dugu Bo's faces were even more disgusting than if they had eaten shit!
What an idiot! What is he doing?
I finally managed to find a way to back down and give up on this piece of whale glue.
It was all so as not to offend that mysterious, powerful figure hiding in the shadows!
And you, you fatso who appeared out of nowhere, insist on shoving this hot potato back into my hands?
You're trying to kill me!
Prince Snowstar now feels like killing Marquis Bart.
But now everyone's attention is focused on their private room.
He should refuse in public and say that he doesn't want it.
Where would Prince Xuexing's face be then?
Where is the majesty of the prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire?
Prince Xuexing hesitated for a moment. In the end, he walked to the window and tidied his appearance.
Then, in a condescending tone, he spoke casually to the fat man who was still waiting anxiously downstairs.
“Marquis Bart, is that so? You are very thoughtful.”
"I accept your filial piety."
Downstairs, Marquis Bart was so excited by Prince Snowstar's response that his entire body trembled with excitement.
"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"
He bowed deeply again, his face beaming with joy.
Spending 2.3 million to do a favor for a prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire is a huge profit!
The surrounding nobles, watching this scene, all wore expressions of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
They're only just realizing it now.
So this is how you can flatter someone!
high! It’s really high!
