Life After Prison

Chapter 1376
Severin smirked as if he did not take Jeremy’s words seriously. He smiled and raised the bid by three million. “Then I’ll bid fifteen
million dollars! The ball is in your court now! Don’t let me down.”
“This is no time to be impulsive, sir. He’s obviously setting you up! It will no longer be worth the price if you raise the bid beyond
fifteen million dollars,” the bodyguard had to remind Jeremy again.
Although Jeremy was very upset, he could only grit his teeth in anger. He eventually smiled at Severin and said, “Hehe, did you
think you could set me up? You just want me to keep raising the price so you can cop out at the last minute. I’m not an idiot. I
won’t enter a bidding war with you. You can take that herb for fifteen million dollars. I don’t need that many spiritual herbs. I am
from a first–class family anyway.”
“You’re right! We can’t let him fool us again!” the bodyguards echoed Jeremy’s sentiment and buttered him up.
“That’s fifteen million from Mister Severin! Does anyone else want to make a bid?” Caroline announced. When she confirmed
that no one else was interested in making any further bids, she said, “Fifteen million! Going once going twice... and sold for
fifteen million dollars to Mister Severin from VIP Room one!”
She then struck her gavel and declared that Severin won the bid for that spiritual herb.
“You’re amazing, Brother–in–Law! Jeremy gave up because he was afraid of overpaying, while other people probably didn’t.
want to enter a bidding war with you because you’re from VIP Room One! It went so much smoother this time!” Megan remarked
to Severin after the herb was sent up to them.
Severin smiled and said, “I’m quite confident it will continue to proceed smoothly in the future.”
The items that were put up on auction were mainly spiritual herbs, since they were much easier to obtain than training
techniques or combat techniques. Unless a person was short of money, hardly anyone would be willing to put those up for
auction. Of course, some people did put up for auction certain things that they did not need but that they took from others by
force.
Severin managed to win the bid for ten spiritual herbs in just under an hour. The majority that he managed to get were third-
grade low–rank herbs, while a few were third–grade high–rank herbs. He was very pleased with the result.

Jeremy no longer dared to enter a bidding war with Severin after being humiliated like that. He acted as if he was above their
trickery and decided not to participate in any of the bidding. When those in the audience below saw that Severin had made a bid,
they gave up as well and avoided trying to outbid Severin.
Caroline felt a little speechless as she presided over the auction. After all, the prices of these spiritual herbs were beyond their
expected target–it was rare for such herbs to be auctioned off at relatively low prices. It was a rather unprecedented situation,
and one that she could do nothing about.
“I believe the person in VIP Room one is an alchemist. He’s not interested in any of the second–grade spiritual herbs, and he
never bids for combat techniques or weapons. He seems to be aiming for third–grade spiritual herbs, or spiritual herbs that can
be used for alchemy.” The old man in VIP Room Three had a bad feeling after making those observations.
