Chapter 101
Wilbur was surprised to hear the name. What a coincidence!
Just then, the shop owner and several guests there got a shock as well. Kenji had made quite a name
for himself.
The shop owner walked over, bowing to Kenji. “Mr. Lilith! It’s an honor to have you in my shop.”
“Of course it is,” Kenji said haughtily.
The shop owner said, “However, I’m afraid that bidding has always been Octocharm Town’s way of
doing things.”
“I said we can do it your way, didn’t 17” Kenji said coldly.
The shop owner nodded with a smile, coming in front of Wilbur “Sir, do you have any objection to this?”
“No.”
Wilbur was just going to follow the rules as he did not care too much.
Just then, the shop owner said, “Alright, then. Everyone here can act as a witness. Let the bidding

Everyone was excited, crowding over eagerly. After all, this hardly happened anymore.
The crowd sat down, sipping their tea while they waited for the show to start
The shop owner looked around him before saying. “The starting price of this stone will be a hundred
and twenty thousand dollars, and each offer will increase the bid by ten thousand dollars. Let’s begin!”
Kenji said at once, “A hundred thirty thousand.”
“One-forty” Wilbur did not hesitate either. The stone seemed pretty dense, so it surely held something
precious.
“One-fifty.”
“One-sixty!”
“Two hundred.” Kenji raised the price immediately, then calmly took a sip of his tea
Wilbur paused, before saying, “Two hundred and tea thousand.”
Kenji’s expression darkened. “Two hundred and twenty thousand.”
Wilbur was calm, merely adding ten thousand every time he called out. The price of the rock began to
rise.
The crowd broke out into whispers, muttering among themselves.
A while later, Wilbur’s offer went up to two hundred and righty thousand dollars.
Kenji said, “Three hundred thousand!”
The onlookers were getting excited. The price of the rock had reached almost three hundred thousand
dollars, which was no
small amount!
On top of that, Kenji was a pretty famous businessman with a net worth of almost fifty million dollars.
Meanwhile, Wilbur was just a nobody, yet it was impressive that he had a few hundred thousand dollars
to spare to gamble on a rock.
A brief pause Later, Wilbur said slowly, “Three hundred and ten thousand ”
Kenji’s expression darkened. The crowd was also surprised
Wilbur was not going easy on Kenji at all! Was he really that sure that the rock was worth it?
“Four hundred thousand.” Kenji decided to raise the price drastically

Everyone thought that Wilbur should just give up by now. The risk would only grow if they kept betting.

The rock was only so big. Even if the jade inside was valuable, the buyer would still be making a loss if
it was not dense enough.
Besides, talking such a risk while also getting on Kenji’s bad side was truly not worth it. Many people in
the room knew that Kenji was more than just a businessman.
Yet just then, Wilbur increased the bid once again. “Four hundred and ten thousand.”
The crowd shook their heads. That guy was getting out of hand
Kenji was looking highly displeased by then. His eyes took on a murderous look as he called out, “Five
hundred thousand.”
“What the…”
The crowd had not expected Renji to increase the bid that drastically once again. This time, he was
clearly angry.
“Five hundred and ten thousand,” Wilbur responded calmly.
