SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS-Chapter 844 - 842: THE BLIND AUCTION 3

Inside the room, Diamond found herself being questioned as the other item was brought for another bid.

"Why buy it? You could have just let it go!"

Diamond sighed when she heard the twins asking her that.

If it wasn’t a mission prop, she wouldn’t have wasted her money like that but that wasn’t something that she could tell these people.

Besides, with the appearance of Donald. Even if it was something that she didn’t like. She wouldn’t mind spending so much like that. Of course, it would be better if he were the one who ended up paying such an amount.

Unfortunately, she was the desperate one in this round. So, she could only pay.

Moreover, what was the big deal with spending such money?

Now everyone would know her name.

This was the best promotion ever. Although many would see her as impulsive and a big spender. Only she understood the importance of that dagger.

She looked at the twins with a gentle smile and said, "What if I tell you that someone else’s life is being held back because of that dagger?"

The twins’ eyes bulged when they heard that.

"You .... Sis, you don’t mean to say that the dagger is really cursed, right?"

Diamond chuckled as she looked to the front, where an ongoing battle was occurring.

"Um, it’s cursed, but don’t worry, it won’t affect unrelated people."

"Sis, does that mean that you know who the cursed person is?" the twins asked curiously, their voices tinged with anticipation.

Even the adults couldn’t help but eavesdrop as they participated in the bidding.

Diamond gave a mysterious smile but didn’t answer that. However, that provided everyone with enough information. They could only suck in a cold breath, wondering what was going on.

Dean, on the other side, couldn’t help but look at her with complicated eyes.

’What more secrets is she hiding?’ he was curious.

Meanwhile, in the Dickens room, Portia was on the verge of driving her father crazy.

"Daddy, is there anything special about the dagger? Otherwise, why would she bid for it at such a crazy amount?"

"Daddy, do you think that Diamond and that man have beef with each other?"

Portia was busy asking her father so many questions he didn’t have any answers to and his head was swelling. He was even distracted in the bidding but he couldn’t bear yell at his princess.

Who made her his precious?

Meanwhile, in the same hall, Letty was all smiles as she thought about the previous battle.

She had seen people spending money before but this reckless, that was a first. However, that move was a good one because she could hear the people sitting closer to her still talking about Diamond.

They were very curious about her, and being remembered mattered when attending such events. It meant that the network would expand. Who didn’t live without connections?

After a long battle, the item was sold to someone in private room 1. It was a special medallion that Diamond wasn’t interested in. However, through listening to Prince, she learnt that the medallion could grant the holder three favors from the auction house.

It was a special auction item which was only sold once every year. Who didn’t like having the auction house owing them favors?

That’s why the medallion was costly to get.

It got auctioned off for A$500 million. She could see how special it was for anyone to be willing to spend so much money.

It seems that Evelyn will be bleeding pretty soon.

Anyway, after all the long drama, the last part of the auction finally arrived, and everyone became alert and attentive. Even Diamond was serious when Evelyn started.

"Now we have come to the final part of the auction and the moment that everyone had been waiting for ...."

"I wonder what they are selling this time!"

"It should be extraordinary. Last year, they auctioned an antique shop. It sold for hundreds of millions."

"What could it be this year?"

Everyone was anxious and looking forward to the surprise. freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Tonight we shall be auctioning off a piece of land that a lot of you had been itching to own ....."

Boom!

The moment that was said, everyone’s minds exploded.

Those who lived in Strawford City knew about this matter. There were rumors of a big project the government wanted to do and everyone had been clamoring to acquire a certain piece of land. Unfortunately, the owner was mysterious and there haven’t been any progress.

So, to her, suddenly that the auction house owned the land, and it was about to be auctioned, everyone was excited. At least, those who were in the real estate industry and the wealthy.

For those who couldn’t do the project, owning the land meant selling it a higher price to those who wanted it. There wasn’t any loss.

Even Diamond was excited by this piece of news. Although she didn’t plan to buy the land, she didn’t mind joining in the fun.

She looked at Dean, who was also serious, and asked, "Do you want the land?"

Dean turned to look at her and nodded. "Um. That’s why we are here. Who doesn’t want a piece of the pie?"

Diamond nodded in understanding. "Indeed, one must not let such a wonderful piece just go."

Dean chuckled lightly when he heard that. "That’s why I will work hard."

"I wish you all the best, and if your funds aren’t enough, I will give you some!" Diamond volunteered, wanting to help the family.

Not just Dean but Anita and Prince felt warmhearted when they heard that.

Dean smiled at her and responded, "don’t worry. We have been prepared for this day but if we really are short, then I will come to you!" after all, it doesn’t hurt to seek help when in need.

Diamond was satisfied with that and began to focus on the bidding wars.

She had wanted to play against Donald earlier, but then she realized that it was pointless. After all, in just under two minutes, Donald was no longer bidding.

{Mother, he doesn’t have any more funds. He is out!}

Diamond sneered when she heard that.

How dare a pauper try to show off?

Nonetheless, she enjoyed the bidding, and the price rose sharply and reached A$800 million.

Was this price truly worth it?

She couldn’t help but tap her ear pod, and she got a response.

{Mother, I have looked into this project. The government indeed plan to develop that area. While it’s worth it, the project would last for like five years. I don’t think that those companies with cash flow problems in the short term should hurry to buy this land. The government will announce the news in July. Who knows what might happen?}

When he finished reporting that, the bidding price was over a billion.

Diamond was shocked by that and couldn’t help but look at Dean.

"Are you still bidding?" she asked curiously, her tone tinged with worry.

Dean shook his head at hearing her question.

"The price has gotten a bit too ridiculous. If it were purchased without the auction, it wouldn’t have reached a billion. I don’t think that we will profit much if we continue," Dean calmly answered her, giving her some reasons.

Diamond listened attentively to him, nodding now and then in agreement. Even Andrea was against it. So, it was a wise decision. Of course, the mother and son didn’t even think about how Diamond spent a billion universal dollars to construct a home.

If that money were exchanged for Atharian dollars, then wouldn’t their bits of advice be fickle?

Thankfully, no one even bothered to think about it. So, their minds were still very calm.

"I guess that it also works. You can use those funds to invest in another business."

Dean chuckled when he heard that, but still agreed with her.

The bidding continued and after a while, the plot of land was sold to whoever was in room number 1 for a whooping price of A$1,3 billion and that concluded the auction.

There were those who were happy to have won whatever they wanted, and others were sad. Others were happy just to attend and connect with others.

For those who had successfully bid for their items, they started finalizing the process. For people like Diamond who were in the private rooms, there were people who came to serve them and brought the items to them.

When paying, Diamond took out her black card from ABA and swiped the full amount without flinching. She received her two items, the dagger and the painting, right away.

The system even confirmed that those were indeed the real goods, and with that confirmation, she didn’t need to be wary of anything else.

The Ace also paid for their own, and before these dedicated servers left, they gave them invitations to another auction, and Diamond was happy to accept.

It wasn’t certain whether she would attend or not but holding onto an invitation didn’t seem that bad.

After all, who knows what might happen in the future?

The future was full of surprises.
