The Exalted Warrior novel Chapter 485

The seconds ticked by, and soon, the bidding price was raised to 21 million.

The price had already reached a level where some people had begun pulling out from the bidding competition and stopped increasing the price.

“Twenty-three million!”

Finally, Fane raised his hand and shouted a price, flashing the woman at the auction stand a warm smile.

“This gentleman has increased the price to twenty-three million bucks! Does anyone else wish to increase the bid?”

The corners of the woman’s mouth quirked up after hearing Fane’s price. He did not increase the price by just a million, but two.

“Twenty-five million!”

Without hesitation, Ivan raised his arm and added three million to the price as though he was the wealthiest man in the Middle Province.

After he put his arm down, he turned to Fane and said, “Fane, don’t compete with me. This villa is my gift to Grandpa. You’re just a son-in-law, why do you want to fight me? You don’t even have the resources to win against me!”

“Ha-ha! Are you sure?” Fane jeered coldly. Money was but a number to him. He could buy the entire Taylor property without batting an eye, let alone a villa.

“Heh! You’re snobbish, aren’t you?”

Ken gave Fane a thumbs up and laughed aloud. “Fane, let us witness this great battle today. Between you and Young Master Taylor, whoever loses the battle will have to call the winner ‘daddy’, how does that sound?”

They never thought that Fane would simply shake his head and remain uninterested. “Sorry, but I wouldn’t want such an unreliable son. I’d be embarrassed and ashamed if I did.”

Many of the wealthy businessmen who were still present began to view Fane differently, some with admiration. This young man had placed a bid of 30 million; increasing a bid by so much at once! The crowd certainly did not expect that this worthless son-in-law could be this rich.

The corners of Ivan’s mouth twitched. 30 million, that was quite high, was it not?

Nevertheless, the devil beside him, Ken Clark, said to him, “Young Master Taylor, don’t be frightened by him! This should be the highest price he can offer. He probably increased the bid by so much in one go just to try to scare you away,” Ken reminded him. “Fane only asked for an advance of two months. That’s forty million. He’d have to leave ten million aside to compensate you, so that would leave him with thirty million. This is as high as he can go!”

Ivan’s spirit lifted after hearing Ken’s analysis. “Thirty-one million!” he called out.

“What a bunch of idiots! The entry requirement for this auction house is that you have to possess at least fifty million in your bank account. How would I be able to enter otherwise?”

Fane gave a half-smile. “Thirty-five million!”
