SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS-Chapter 843 - 841: THE DAGGER OF SUFFERING

"How many items are remaining now?" Diamond asked curiously after seeing how much time had passed.

Dean looked at her with a soft smile and answered, "there should be four or five items remaining if I am not mistaken!"

Diamond sighed relievedly when she heard that. It was soon, and she could wait.

Two more items were auctioned off, and after waiting for ages, what she wanted finally appeared.

"We have a few items on the list remaining now, but I can assure you that everything that we have is epic and can blow your mind," Evelyn gently said as she gestured for the next item to be brought over.

A beautiful lady wearing a bodycon type of dress, which accentuated her curves walked in pushing a trolley with a black cloth covering whatever was on it.

The lady pushed the trolley to Evelyn, and upon arrival, she removed the cloth before leaving.

Evelyn smiled as she picked what was on the trolley, making the hall erupt in exclamations of wonder.

"What’s that?"

"Is that a dagger or my eyes are failing me?"

Diamond even straightened her back upon seeing the familiar dagger in Evelyn’s hands.

’It’s finally here! Damn, that thing is ominous!’ she couldn’t help but tremble as she spotted dark energy being emitted by the dagger.

She couldn’t help but wonder how badly Evelyn was getting damaged by that energy. That thing needed to be taken away as soon as possible.

"What we have here is a special dagger. The professionals dated the dagger to be several thousand years old. Some say that the dagger is cursed, and some say otherwise.

Anyway, this dagger is made of the best material and is unbreakable. Several tests had been done and even the sharpest metal failed to make the cut. It’s a piece of weapon that those who have an interest in weapons can acquire," Evelyn gave details of the dagger as much as she could.

Diamond, listening to the story, couldn’t help but sigh as she recalled the name of the dagger.

How could it be broken or shattered when it was enough to curse someone for many lifetimes?

It would be a shame if it easily broke but how did such a cursed item even ended up getting dug out?

Didn’t the curser know how to hide the damn dagger?

Anyway, returning to the auction, not many people were very enthusiastic about the dagger. After all, the moment the curse came out. Whether it was true or not, not many people loved taking chances.

The bid started at A$1 million, and the bid started increasing, but at a very slow pace.

"A$5 million. Any more bids?" Evelyn called out, hoping for someone to increase the bid.

Only that way could they cover the losses. Thinking about the resources that were lost to bring the dagger into the country. Evelyn was anxious but couldn’t show it.

She looked around, but after the bid of A$5 million, no one seemed to want to bid anymore. Seeing that was the case, she could only acquiesce and started calling for the final bid. However, as she was about to count for the second time, a familiar melodious voice cut her off midway.

"A$20 million!"

Upon hearing that, Evelyn’s eyes lit up as she looked at the familiar private room.

When that amount was given, the hall erupted with exclamations from all corners of the hall.

Meanwhile, inside the private room where the bid had just come from, Dean was looking incredulously at Diamond.

"This .... Isn’t that a bit too much for a dagger? Even if it’s a thousand years old. I don’t think that it’s worth it!" he advised, hoping that Diamond wouldn’t recklessly waste her money like that.

But the other party simply smiled as she waved her hand nonchalantly.

"I think it’s worth it. I am curious what a cursed dagger looks like. Besides, didn’t you hear that the material is quite tough?"

As the two were busy discussing that and Evelyn calling for more bids, someone else shouted, "A$25 million!"

Bang!

Diamond slammed the table angrily upon hearing that familiar voice. Her sudden outburst caught everyone off guard as they weren’t expecting her to react like that.

Meanwhile, Evelyn was so excited, she looked at the male guest who had bid with stars in her eyes.

The cost had been covered, and now she just needed to push for more profits.

She couldn’t help but look towards the private room, hoping for Diamond to increase the bid.

Meanwhile, Diamond was on her feet, her piercing gaze in the direction from which that voice came.

"A$30 million!" in a fit of anger, she increased the bid as she tapped her ear pod.

When that was called, the other guests began to whisper excitedly to each other. Curious about what kind of beef these two people have. After all, this kind of bidding wasn’t normal at all.

"Diamond, don’t let that person anger you. The dagger isn’t worth it!"

"Yes. Yes. Just ignore him!"

But how could she ignore him when she had an inkling that he was doing that on purpose? Thinking about all the humiliation she went through because of that person. She wasn’t going to let go even if that person was doing it for a purpose.

{Mother, that’s Donald. He came here for the last item but I guess that after seeing that you are interested in the dagger, he decided to piss you off!}

Her eyes went ablaze when she heard that. She clenched her fists as she listened to that disgusting voice calling out, "A$35 million!"

Bang! She slammed the table once again and furiously muttered, "Are you playing tricks with me?" before calling for another bid, "A$70 million!"

The moment that bid was called, even Donald was shaken. He could tell the anger within that voice, and he had an inkling that she had recognized him. He had pissed her off completely. How could one bid for a dagger for that kind of money?

However, he didn’t want to give up. As long as he makes her think about him and gets the dagger. He didn’t mind, for once, being on her bad side. So, what if he came for an errand?

With gritted teeth, he raised the bid, "A$80 million!"

When others saw that he wasn’t giving up. They became even more excited. However, those who knew that it was Diamond bidding for the dagger began to get worried for several reasons.

"Diamond, do you know the other bidder?"

"Why is he so persistent?"

Diamond sneered as she got ready to bid and turned to look at the Ace family members. "That bastard is the one who ... damn, he is the ex who humiliated me in university!" she said with gritted teeth.

"A$100 million!" she called out the bid without waiting for them to respond.

When the figure was called, the Ace family members weren’t concerned about the figure but were busy digesting the information.

The whole world, at least those who follow Diamond, knew about her story. She was very honest about it. Even though it wasn’t anything heroic, and something to be proud of. JEWELS literally hated that ex-boyfriend more than anything else.

To know suddenly that the ex-boyfriend was in the hall and bidding against her. They didn’t know how to react at all.

Meanwhile, Donald finally panicked when he heard that figure. If he dared bid more than that, his father would truly disown him.

He was given a maximum of A$200 million to bid for that thing. If he dared spend so much on a useless dagger. He could foresee the damage.

Even the secretary who came with, nudged him with worry on her face.

"Let us not bid any further. It’s not worth it!" she whispered despite her nervousness.

Donald could only grit his teeth as he took a deep breath, acquiescing to that advice.

When the rest saw that he wasn’t bidding anymore couldn’t help but start whispering.

"And here I thought that he was loaded!"

"Tche! Just trying to make a statement. I bet he thought that he was so loaded to compete with those bigshots!"

"I hate men like this. Why even compete for something that he doesn’t want?"

"Hehe, can’t you see what he is doing?"

"That’s the Ace private room. Could it be that he wants to impress that beautiful lady?"

"Is that what anyone who wants to impress does? Can’t you tell that the lady is pissed off?"

Donald was so angry as he listened to the mocking from the other people but he knew that he couldn’t do anything about it. After all, the moment he acts up would be the moment that he loses.

Meanwhile, Evelyn couldn’t care less about Donald’s mentality right now. She was so excited about the current and perhaps final bid.

She called for the bid several times and upon seeing that no one was going to bid for more, she finally said the words that everyone was anticipating to hear.

Baaam.

"I hereby announce that the dagger has been auctioned for A$100 million to our female bidder in private room 5."

When that was said, everyone heaved with relief.

It would have been scarier if the bid had continued any further.

[Ding! You have successfully acquired the dagger of suffering. REWARD: A detailed background of the dagger and release of the mission.]

Inside the private room, Diamond finally smiled as she sat down.

It’s been a very long time since she played that hard. Winning against that bastard who once used money on her, she felt very good. She was even foreseeing the moment she would be competing with him for whatever item was going to be sold last.

Who made him inflate the bidding price like that?

She wasn’t one who let matters go.

She wasn’t the holy mother.
