Chapter 203: This World is the Tycoon’s (Extra for Lord Johnson!)

“It’s not up to you to decide, besides, it’s not enough to just brag about it. Since you were so confidently claiming the first Dura, you wouldn’t mind letting me have it, would you? Please?” Bryski Miller raised a small grin at the corner of his mouth, bowed slightly, and gestured towards Finn Lewis.

The auctioneer on the stage, who had been slightly baffled up to this point, was about to restrain these two seemingly conflicted individuals. However, after hearing Miller’s words, being the savvy man he was, he instantly decided to stay silent and let the controversy unfold.

“50 million!” Lewis blurted out, raising the bid by 15 million! Surrounding spectators drew a sharp breath. If he could afford NetEase, he certainly wasn’t a man without money, but isn’t there a limit to squandering? This is for a car, not a priceless artifact.

“70 million!” Miller immediately raised the price another 20 million! Even the auctioneer who was considering stepping in to build up the mood was left speechless. This pace was so breathless that it needed no push from him.

“Ha-ha, Mr. Miller, you are indeed as generous as always! Well, then I can’t lag behind. 170 million!” said Lewis, although the beige portable megaphone he was holding somewhat detracted from his otherwise imposing demeanor.

But by now, nobody cared about that beige megaphone anymore. After hearing Finn Lewis’s bid, everyone was stupefied. Even Bryski Miller had to suppress a gasp. It was not that the number was extraordinarily high, but remember, this is for a car! 170 million just for a car?

Kay Lee could feel her legs trembling. She wanted to step in and stop Lewis but did not know how to approach it. At this point, pulling back would be a loss of face for Lewis. While Kay Lee herself had never had a boyfriend, she understood that, for men, reputation was of utmost importance.

170 million! This astonishing figure was enough to suffocate even the most lavish spendthrifts among the crowd. The auctioneer on the stage seemed thrilled to the point of hysteria. Just imagining the commission he could earn from this 170-million deal was enough to drive him wild.

“200 million!” Soon after, Miller called out another horrifying number. Although it was not as dramatic as Lewis’s sudden escalation by one hundred million, it was astonishing nonetheless.

Everyone drew a deep breath upon hearing this. Seeing everyone’s surprise,

Miller felt pleased and turned to Lewis, “So? Are you going to continue?”

“No, I am done. You indeed proved your financial prowess, Mr. Miller. Please, proceed,” Finn Lewis responded casually, gesturing for Miller to go on.

Bryski Miller was taken aback briefly, but he soon relaxed. Although Lewis made it seem like he was driving up the price, showing anger now would be unsightly. Moreover, even though the bystanders saw him as a Prodigal, as long as Finn Lewis was not pleased, it lifted his spirits! Hence, he was feeling rather content, even after spending 200 million on a car worth no more than 35 million.

“Great! Congratulations to Mr. Miller for buying the one-of-a-kind Dura in the world for 200 million!” The auctioneer quickly announced.

“Now let’s proceed with the reservations for the remaining 15 Dura cars!” He swiftly moved on to the next item. He had a feeling that the most exciting part between the two tycoons hadn’t started yet. Indeed, just as his voice trailed off, a voice rose from the crowd.

“I will take all the remaining 15 cars.” Lewis announced nonchalantly, holding his megaphone as everyone stared on, speechless. “As far as I know, there’s no rule against reserving all 15 cars, right?”

“Uh, sir, I misspoke earlier. There are only 14 Duras left,” the auctioneer corrected himself while his heart pounded in excitement. Never before in a launch had all the new models been reserved in advance. Normally, being able to reserve three to five cars would be considered good, with the rest being slowly reserved over time.

Who ever heard of someone single-handedly buying out the lot at the start?! 35 million for a car! Were they planning on eating it?! The auctioneer was cursing internally, filled with a mix of envy, jealousy, and hate, but he maintained his composure and continued smoothly.

“Oh, fourteen of them. Let me calculate, 35 million each makes it 490 million in total. Here’s what I’ll do, I’ll round it up to 500 million,” Finn said nonchalantly, pausing for a moment before turning to Bryski with a grin, “Young Master Miller, Mr. Miller, care to join in? Aren’t you really rich?”

“Sure, 600 million!” Bryski looked at Finn nonchalantly and called out a number directly.

“Hmmpf” The host on the stage choked on his own saliva. Thankfully, no one was paying attention to him. The audience, including the ladies present, were all watching Finn and Bryski gleefully, because both were pretty wealthy young men! Unlike the majority of those who had accompanied them, most of them were middle-aged or even elderly!

“700 million!” Finn immediately raised the bid by a hundred million without hesitating. Bryski paused a little. He felt somewhat reluctant because he was

afraid that Finn would stop there. Damn it! Who knows it this guy was really there to cause trouble or to embarrass him?

“What? Are you out of money, Young Master Miller? Did your father not give you enough spending authority before leaving the house? It must be really sad then. Unlike me, I can spend however much I earn. Little kids are just so incapable,” Finn said, shaking his head.

People around started to chuckle. My god, that was way too annoying – but they had to admit, Finn’s words were brutally embarrassing. He was basically asking: Kid, have you grown up yet? Did your parents give you enough money to play outside? There were numerous people in the audience, and everyone was from a “certain circle”. If Bryski didn’t respond, by tomorrow it would circulate that the heir to the Redfield Group and the young master of the Miller Clan is still a baby, who only steps out with enough pocket money given by his dad.

Never assume that wealthy people have good taste. Such words can absolutely be spread around. Considering those within this circle the same age as Finn and Bryski, if such a title were to stick, it would be next to impossible to shake it off.

“800 million!” Bryski indeed couldn’t hold it in anymore and directly added another hundred million. Joking aside, could the only heir to the Miller Clan lack money? Bryski didn’t need to worry about his status as the only heir, because he was the sole scion of the Miller Clan. And his talent had long been proven in the Miller Clan, so he didn’t need to prove anything. Since he dared to appear here, he certainly wasn’t afraid of his father’s opinion on the money he was about to spend.

“900 million.” Finn lit a cigarette, casually blew out a ring of smoke, pinched the cigarette between his index and middle fingers; he also held the beige loudspeaker in his other hand languidly. This pose, god damn, was incredibly cool! Among the audience were over a dozen young people, some of whom were pestering their parents for a new car, some had come on their own, and a few came along with their parents to gain some experience.

But oh boy! today they were truly enlightened. They were considered prodigal, but compared to Finn and Bryski, oh man, being rich means being capricious? They finally understood what this phrase meant, oh shit, this is what being capricious truly means when you’re rich.

“One billion!” Without any hesitation, Bryski followed up.

“You’re awesome!” Finn gave Bryski a thumbs up and said casually.

“I knew you’d give up. You wouldn’t think that jacking up the price here will annoy me, would you?” Bryski looked at Finn nonchalantly. He somewhat guessed that Finn would give up, but pride mattered, and Bryski was going to fight for it! Even though it cost 1.2 billion, Bryski didn’t care. This amount was equivalent to a drop in the ocean compared to the yearly revenue of the Miller Clan.

As soon as Bryski said this, the people around looked at Finn with a hint of contempt. And sure, it was highly likely that Finn was just artificially raising the price. Who hadn’t seen such auction hijackers? And especially those who gave up at key moments, if that wasn’t price rigging, then what was?

David Lancaster, on stage, was utterly speechless by now. If Bryski would have noticed David’s face, he would have seen sympathy filled in his eyes. But, at this moment, Bryski wouldn’t care about anyone’s expressions, and neither did anyone else. All eyes were on Finn and Bryski.

“This 1.2 billion is equivalent to a drop in the ocean for me. However, some people, sigh… For instance, did you come here without any plans? Didn’t you pay one hundred million per year just to have the lady on stage as your spokesperson? What? Have you closed the deal yet? I didn’t know your tactics were more advanced than mine.” Bryski looked at Kay Lee on the stage and said indifferently.

Finn didn’t even glance at Kay Lee, but simply said with a smile, “Oh, then you’re mistaken. I just despise some people’s methods. So, I haven’t said anything from start to end. If today you hadn’t spoken, Miss Lee probably wouldn’t have realised that I was the one who helped her..”
