The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 217

Chapter 217 Thirty Billion Is Just a Small Amount

The atmosphere in the auction hall was so tense it felt like the air had vanished.

Even the auctioneer froze at the sudden high bids, momentarily forgetting to call the final price.

Only when his assistant nudged him did he snap back, yelling, "Six billion, once!"

As his voice echoed, Ruby clenched her jaw and declared fiercely, "Seven billion!"

She swept her gaze across the crowd with authority, silently daring anyone to outbid her.

After all, seven billion was more than enough for a 700-year-old Violet Wyvernroot. Despite being a rare medicinal herb, its price didn't usually reach such heights.

It wasn't a miracle cure, only a supplementary pill.

Very few people actually had a need for it.

Yet, in this auction, the price of the Violet Wyvernroot skyrocketed to seven billion.

Never before in the Violet Wyvernroot's auction history had it reached such a price.

Still, the crowd was eagerly waiting for something even more thrilling to unfold.

Everyone was speculating whether, after Ruby raised the price to seven billion, Mr. Ramsey in the VIP Zone would continue to counterbid. "Ten billion!"

Before Rita could even pause to check with Daphne, Robin snatched the auction sign from her hand and boldly called out the new price. The entire hall went silent.

Nearly everyone rose from their seats, turning to stare at the VIP Zone.

Who was this Mr. Ramsey, really?

His daring bid today made it obvious he was set on acquiring the Violet Wyvernroot.

As soon as he named his price, Ruby and even Anthony, seated in the front row, were stunned.

None of them had anticipated that Robin would go as high as ten billion for a Violet Wyvernroot.

Right then, a tinge of regret crept into Anthony's heart.

If he had realized sooner that Robin had come for the Violet Wyvernroot, he would have sought Tristan's approval to help him. This might have avoided a major clash at the auction.

Now, it's pointless to think about it.

Anthony, who understands the complexities of life, is aware that Robin wouldn't readily accept offerings from his family at this scale.

A sum of 10 billion would hardly impress him.

Even a hundred billion means little to someone like Robin.

Ruby from the Brookhaven Martial Alliance challenging Robin for the Violet Wyvernroot is like an egg trying to break a rock.

However, he couldn't voice that opinion at this moment.

From the side of his eye, Anthony noticed Ruby's stance.

He realized she would surely fight hard against Robin for the Violet Wyvernroot.

He let out a quiet sigh.

If Ruby cannot control herself, the Quinns from the Brookhaven Martial Alliance are bound to face serious problems.
