Chapter 3746

“Indeed, every capitalist’s blood is tainted.”
A wave of contempt couldn’t help but surge within Jared’s heart!
The individuals capable of running such an underground market and these kinds of auctions were
surely driven by the pursuit of wealth!
Since it was all for money, no method was off the table.
Perhaps this was just human nature.
“I’ll offer six million…”
Someone else had raised their hand, offering a bid!
This caused Alastair to slightly furrow his brow, experiencing a twinge in his heart.
However, as he looked at the statue before him, Alastair could only raise his hand again and say, “I bid
seven million…”
This time, Alastair was gritting his teeth as he made his bid. If he wasn’t extremely fond of it, there was
no way he would have continued to *raise the price!
“I offer eight million…”
The individual glanced at Alastair, and then once again, he called out a higher bid!
Alastair’s eyes were wide open in surprise. Just as he was about to raise his hand, he was abruptly
pulled back by Jared!
This time, Jared nearly dragged Alastair to the ground!Baffled, Alastair turned his gaze toward Jared. In a hushed voice, Jared said, “Stop bidding. The statue
is fake…”
“Fake?”
Alastair was greatly surprised.
However, his statement immediately attracted many glances. Alastair quickly lowered his voice and
asked, “How did you know it was fake?”
“Don’t worry about it, it’s all a sham anyway. Inside this statue, there’s a miniature array runes. Once
spiritual energy is channeled into it, the array runes will activate, emitting a light similar to holy light,”
Jared explained.
Upon hearing this, Alastair looked at Jared with a skeptical expression. However, he didn’t *proceed to
bid.
Wilson watched Alastair quietly, as if waiting for him to make an offer. However, after waiting for a while
and seeing that Alastair was not bidding, Wilson had no choice but to announce loudly, “Since no one
else is bidding, this statue is sold for eight million!”
However, after he had finished speaking, Wilson cast a rather piercing glance at Jared!
It was quite clear that Alastair stopped bidding because of Jared.
Wilson wasn’t upset because Alastair didn’t raise the price. Rather, he was a bit puzzled. How did
Jared know that his statue was a fake without revealing any aura or using any spiritual sense to
investigate?
novelbinCould Jared figure it out just with his naked eye?Wilson had no clue at all that Jared had used Nethersky Eye to discern the statue’s authenticity.
Following that, one precious item after another was brought forth-all sorts of odds and ends, from
incomplete cultivation techniques, and pills left behind by immortals, to celestial beast cores.
However, after Jared scanned the items with his Nethersky Eye, he realized that most of it was a sham.
There wasn’t a trace of the authentic ancient aura!
However, numerous cultivators began to fervently bid and compete for it!
Jared was also helpless. At that time, their aura was confined and, frankly, they were as good as blind.
They couldn’t even spot a fake, let alone discern anything!
Yet, Wilson had the audacity to claim it was for safety reasons. It seemed this auction was nothing but
a scam.
Jared’s heart sank. If he had known things would turn out this way, he wouldn’t have come at all. He
had wasted two million spiritual coins for nothing!
Jared stood up, intending to leave. Staying here was nothing but a waste of time!
“Ladies and gentlemen, the item I am about to present is a rare treasure of this world, one I believe
none of you have ever laid eyes on before.”
The words that Wilson spoke next made Jared, who was about to leave, halt in his tracks.
Jared settled back into his seat, eager to examine whatever it was that no one had ever seen before.
An employee was seen approaching, cradling a *wooden box in both hands.A red envelope was placed atop the wooden box. After carefully placing it down, the staff member then
withdrew.
Wilson, on the other hand, gently tugged at a corner of the red cloth, then said, “Ladies and gentlemen,
keep your eyes wide open. I dare say none of you have ever seen such a treasure!”
“Wilson, hurry up,” they urged, “Stop keeping us in suspense, we’re all on edge!” A cultivator cried out
loudly.
“All right!” Wilson exclaimed, and then he lifted the red cloth.
Upon looking, it was clear that the wooden box was transparent. Inside the box, there was a skeletal
arm.
