Semua Bab The Ex-Husband's Revenge: Bab 1171 - Bab 1180

"Um, alright then." Seeing that neither Ruth nor Quinton wanted to leave, Leon had no choice but to sit back down. After God knows how long, the auction finally came to an end, and there was only one item left, which was the most attractive item of the day—the Mirror of Aegis. At this moment, Leon became so bored that he almost nodded off, but in contrast, Quinton, Tim, and the rest of the philanthropists immediately perked up at this, especially when they saw Jared gesturing for the hostess to bring the Mirror of Aegis onstage. The moment the mirror, covered in a piece of red drape, appeared onstage, the entire room seemed to come alive with a buzz of excitement as everyone's interest was piqued by this final treasure. "Our final item is the Mirror of Aegis—a piece of treasure that treasure Hunter managed to recover from some ancient ruins. This is our final and most valuable piece of treasure at our auction today, and its starting price is from 43 million dollars, with an

"This is a piece of useless antique and is probably worth just a few million dollars, yet you've placed the starting price at forty-three million dollars. That's daylight robbery!" everyone was outraged to hear this. They all knew that this dirty, rusty piece of the mirror did not look at all like it harnessed vast powers within, and thus was not treasure at all! Besides, the mirror was already with the Powells for a few days now, and if it were truly treasure, the Powells would never have auctioned it! Therefore, it was highly unlikely for the Mirror of Aegis to be a piece of priceless treasure! However, at the same time, there was no guarantee at all, and since most treasures fell into different hands throughout the ages, one could not be entirely sure that an ancient relic did not possess hidden secrets at all. Therefore, since the Mirror of Aegis was indeed an ancient relic, there was a small—but not negligible—chance that this could indeed be a priceless treasure! "Fort

"Two hundred and fifty-eight million dollars? Has this fella gone insane?" Everyone turned to gaze at Leon in sheer shock. They knew that this Mirror of Aegis could not possibly be a priceless treasure and that it was already ludicrous enough for Tim to offer 215 million, but now, Leon was even more outrageous than Tim and raised the price to 258 million! This was the most expensive bid the auction house ever saw! "You punk!" the smile on Tim's face froze. Now that he finally beat both William and Quinton and was about to get his hands on the Mirror of Aegis, he could not believe that Leon came out of nowhere and ruined everything! One could only imagine the fury he felt at this! However, Tim and the rest of the philanthropists were not the only ones shocked by this—even Iris, Ruth, and Quinton were equally in disbelief. "What are you doing, Leon? This is just an old mirror, and it can't possibly be worth two hundred and fifty-eight million dollars! Have you gone insane?"

"Three hundred and thirty million dollars, going once! "Going twice! "Going thrice—Sold!" Jared banged his gavel against the table and could not stifle the excitement he felt. He knew since the start that this was just an ordinary piece of antique and not a piece of a valuable treasure at all! However, Leon spent a hefty price of 330 million dollars bidding for this piece of useless and rather ugly mirror, and this was the most foolish act he ever saw! Jared could not help feeling a little sorry for Leon at this moment. "You idiot, congratulations on acquiring a piece of garbage! I'm sure you must be feeling outraged by now, having spent three hundred and thirty million dollars on an old rusty mirror!" Tim cackled triumphantly. "Mister Durkan is right—that man is a fool! I can't believe he dared to compete with Mister Durkan over this. He should pay attention to who his opponent is next time!" "That's right. He intended to trick Mister Durkan, but now, he got a taste o

Meanwhile, beneath the stage, Iris and Ruth were overjoyed and immediately grabbed hold of Leon's arm in excitement. "Leon, I never thought the Mirror of Aegis would turn out to be a piece of treasure! You're so smart," Iris was so excited that her entire face flushed scarlet with glee and exhilaration. All her previous thoughts of condemning Leon flew out the window. "Of course!" Leon smiled. Not only did he manage to get his hands on the Snow Lotus, but he even stumbled upon the Mirror of Sovereign by accident. Therefore, he was grinning from ear to ear. "Damn it, Leon. You knew the mirror was a piece of treasure, yet you didn't say anything! I can't believe you let Iris and I worry about you for nothing," Ruth could not help expressing her annoyance at him. "What on earth are you talking about? Do you think I would've been able to compete against them if I told you about the mirror?" Leon rolled his eyes. "Well, I guess you're right." Ruth immediately glanced at the re
