The Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 1172
“Leon, you were right! Turns out this mirror is just a piece of rusty metal, and not a priceless piece of treasure at
all!” Ruth was utterly dismayed to see the Mirror of Aegis, and all her excitement and anticipation instantly
dissipated.
“That’s right! If only we listened to Leon earlier and left, we wouldn’t have wasted so much time at this auction,” Iris
was just as disappointed.
“Never mind. Let’s go now!” Ruth said as she grabbed Leon’s arm, intending to leave.
“No! We can’t leave!” Leon instinctively shrugged her away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What? Why not? Didn’t you want to leave just now? Why are you insisting on staying now?” Iris was shocked to see
his reaction.
“Iris is right. This isn’t even a real piece of treasure at all, so why do you even want to stay here?” Ruth asked
dubiously, utterly stunned by Leon’s sudden change in behavior.
“Um, well, since the auction is ending soon anyway, let’s leave after it’s ended.” Leon tried to stifle his excitement
and quickly regained his composure.
“Well, okay then,” Iris and Ruth both thought that Leon wanted to stay just for fun, so they relented since none of
them had anything else to do anyway.
At this moment, because of the Powells‘ trick, most of the spectators were outraged at being deceived and were
giving the Powells a piece of their minds!
“Gentlemen, please, listen to me. This Mirror of Aegis was indeed discovered by a treasure hunter amongst ancient
ruins, and we’ve already gotten verification from forensic experts regarding this. Therefore, I can vouch on behalf
of the Powells that this Mirror of Aegis is a hundred percent a piece of valuable relic left behind from ancient
times,” Jared explained, trying to reassure everyone.
“You’re saying that this is indeed a piece of an ancient relic, but not necessarily a piece of priceless treasure, are
you?” The philanthropists sneered at this. They were all expecting ancient treasures that could give them
unsurpassable powers, not old relics left behind by their ancestors.
“Well, most relics come with hidden secrets. We can confirm that this is indeed a piece of an ancient relic, but we’re
not too sure what valuable secrets it has hidden within,” Jared added. Since the Powells could not seem to figure
out what was valuable about this mirror, they decided to place it on auction instead!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You,” everyone was stunned to hear this. They were the richest and most powerful among the elite society, and
thus they could easily figure out that the Powells tricked them by playing around with the word, ancient
relic.
Since one only had to verify the validity of a piece of an auction item and had no obligation of proving whether a
piece of item was a true treasure or not, they could not condemn the Powells for deceiving them at
all!
“Alright. let’s proceed with the auction! The starting price for the Mirror of Aegis is 43 million dollars, and every
increasing interval has to be no less than 7 million dollars! Any takers?” Jared’s voice tore them all back to reality.
