Getting $10 Trillion Out Of Nowhere-Chapter 1805: The Mysterious Amethyst Pendant
Chapter 1805: The Mysterious Amethyst Pendant
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Connor had been studying Jorge’s amethyst pendant all this time.
However, he’d never been able to find anything out of the ordinary with it.
At this moment, the amethyst pendant in the box was reacting with Jorge’s pendant. This could prove that his pendant was not an ordinary pendant.
The attendant saw that Connor was in a daze and asked, "Sir, are you done?"
"Yes..."
Connor nodded at the attendant.
The attendant smiled and left with the box.
Freya could sense that something was up, so she asked him, "Connor, what’s wrong? Do you recognize this pendant?"
"I don’t really know, but I feel that this amethyst pendant isn’t any ordinary pendant. I’m going to buy it!" Connor said in a low voice.
"Buy it?" Freya could not help but be stunned when she heard Connor’s words. Then, she hurriedly asked, "Connor, don’t tell me you want to buy this pendant because of me?"
"This matter has nothing to do with you..."
Connor lightly shook his head.
Although Connor did have Freya’s intentions in mind, the reason he wanted to buy it had nothing to do with her..
After all, even if Connor really bought off this pendant, it would increase Monica’s favorability towards him, but would not really allow Freya to get this project. This was a solution that only treated the symptoms but not the root cause.
Connor wanted this jade because it had a reaction with Jorge’s pendant.
At this moment, Monica suddenly asked, "Alright, has everyone seen it?"
"Yes!" everyone replied.
"The auction method for this amethyst pendant is different from other auctions. This pendant doesn’t have a starting price. As long as you are interested in this amethyst pendant, you can provide us with a sum of money," Monica said to everyone.
When everyone heard her words, they were all stunned and began to discuss amongst themselves.
Although this auction method seemed unreasonable on the surface, Monica’s choice to use this method could maximize her own interests.
If someone was really interested in this amethyst pendant, they would definitely write down the highest price they could afford. However, in order to ensure that there was no mistake, it was very likely that someone would offer a higher price. This would form a psychological war, and the price offered by those present would far exceed the bidding price.
If it was a normal auction, it would give everyone time to think.
However, if this was the bidding method, everyone would not have the time to think at all. They would immediately bid based on the highest price they could afford.
The attendant walked down the hall with the price list. Anyone who was interested in this amethyst pendant would take a paper slip and write down their price on it.
Connor hesitated for a moment before getting a slip from the attendant. However, when Connor got the slip, he hesitated because he didn’t know how much he should write.
He hesitated for a moment before asking Freya, "How much money do you think these people will spend on this project?"
"Probably at most 100 million. If it exceeds 100 million, it will be a little inappropriate..." Freya replied.
"100 million!"
Connor’s expression was a little shocked when he heard Freya’s words. The 100 million that Freya was talking about was in US dollars!
Someone was willing to pay 100 million just to win Monica’s favor. Connor felt that these people were really too crazy. If it was Connor himself, he would definitely not be willing to pay so much money.
However, Connor didn’t want this amethyst pendant for Monica’s project. Instead, he felt that the pendant that Monica took out likely had something to do with the pendant that Jorge gave him. That was why he wanted to get it.
Connor took a deep breath and wrote down his own price on the slip.
Freya looked at Connor’s price list curiously and then froze on the spot. She said in disbelief, "Connor, are you crazy?"
"I have my reasons for offering this price, but you don’t have to worry. I didn’t spend this money because I want to help you win this project..." Connor explained with a smile.
Freya looked at Connor with a complicated expression. She could not understand why Connor would offer such a high price.
The price Connor wrote on the price list was 500 million.
After writing the price, Connor handed it to the staff.
The staff member was very professional. He didn’t look at Connor’s slip, but instead put it away.
After all, this was needed to protect the privacy of every customer. If Connor’s price was exposed and the other customers knew, then things would be troublesome.
At this moment, there were about a hundred people in the hall. Almost everyone had bid on the amethyst pendant because they were all desperate for the project in Monica’s hands.
The auction staff worked for about half an hour before they finally collected all the bids.
After collecting all the paper slips, the staff began to calculate who was the highest, all while the crowd waited nervously.
"Connor, why did you offer such a high price? I think that even if you want to buy that pendant, 200 million should be enough. You don’t need to spend so much money at all..."
Freya asked Connor in confusion.
Connor smiled faintly when he heard Freya’s words. He then said, "This amethyst pendant is extremely important to me. Therefore, I cannot allow any accidents to happen. I must ensure that I can obtain this pendant without any mistakes..."
"Is this pendant very important to you?"
A hint of confusion flashed across Freya’s eyes, and the expression on her face became even more puzzled.
"Yes!"
Connor nodded lightly before continuing, "There are some things that I can’t explain to you clearly now, but this amethyst pendant is really important to me!"
Freya looked at Connor helplessly. She knew that he definitely had his reasons for doing so.
However, he was not willing to tell them to her now, so she did not continue asking.
