Life After Prison

Chapter 1380
The audience engaged in a lively discussion after she made her bid.
“Haha, now we’re talking! I can’t wait to see the look on Mister Severin’s face after he loses out on this!” Jeremy felt as though he
had an outlet to vent his anger even though he did not participate in the bidding. After all, Severin had cut him off several times
already.
“Eight hundred million! The young woman from VIP Room Three has made a bid of eight hundred million high–grade spiritual
stones! Do we have nine hundred million?” Caroline could not hide the excitement in her voice. She believed that the person who
put it up for auction would be very happy after knowing that the cauldron was appreciated by those who knew its value and
ended up being auctioned for a high price.
Severin, on the other hand, smiled indifferently and said calmly, “I’ll offer one and a half billion!”
“Did I hear that correctly?! Mister Severin has made a massive bid of one and a half billion!” Caroline became increasingly
excited. Severin’s price would have been a big blow to the girl in the purple dress. At long last, Caroline understood why Severin
had asked to meet the senior director–the number of spiritual stones that he wanted to exchange would certainly be tremendous.
“You’re amazing, Brother–in–Law! Everyone’s looking at you with envy!” Megan was overwhelmed with excitement because VIP
Room One became the focal point of attention.
Diane felt that he had used a lot of spiritual stones, so she made a point to remind him, “Don’t you think you’ve made too big a
bid? Couldn’t you have increased your bids by one hundred million? What if the maximum amount of spiritual stones they have is
eight hundred million or nine hundred million? You’ll only be wasting the spiritual stones if that’s the case!”
Severin smiled and said softly to Diane, “Relax. This cauldron might not be that valuable to most people, but it is something
extremely precious to an alchemist. I must get it at all costs, and I’m hoping I can use this to try and become a fourth–rank
alchemist sooner.”
“Yes, yes! We need to get it! The auctioneer just said that it’ll increase the success rate of alchemy by fifteen percent! It’s a very
valuable item, that’s for sure! We might not get another opportunity to encounter this sort of thing in the future!” Felicia gulped,
and her eyes lit up as she looked at the cauldron.

She was always drawn to anything valuable.
“It looks like he’s determined to outbid us for that furnace, Mister Musa!” Stephanie gritted her teeth angrily. She did not expect
Severin to have that many spiritual stones in store.
Musa nodded. “My observations were correct then. He must be a second–grade alchemist, otherwise he wouldn’t have tried so
desperately to outbid us.” Following a brief pause, he added, “This is quite unexpected. You told him that you were going to
secure that furnace at all costs, and he has demonstrated a similar determination when he made his bid! We have no choice but
to keep bidding. May the richest person win!”
Stephanie nodded, and said to Severin, “How exciting. I’ll bid two billion then!”
“Two billion? You seem to have prepared a lot of spiritual stones when you came!” Severin was a little surprised too. Although he
knew that upping the bid might offend the two of them, the cauldron was simply too precious for him to just give in to them. He
smiled and said, “I’ll raise you two and a half billion!”
