In the hearts of the people present, the person who could stand by Haus’s side was definitely not simple.
It was very likely that he was a descendant of a large family.
“Gentlemen, I am an ordinary student from California High School. I am only here because I am interested in some of the things here and want to buy them.”
Andrew took a step forward and replied to their questions.
He was telling the truth.
However, when he said this, these upper-class people were stunned.
‘An ordinary person?’
‘How could an ordinary person tag along with Mr. Haus?’
‘And you are going to buy something at the auction?’
‘It must be known that the items in this auction were at least thousands of crystal coins each.’
‘How could an ordinary person take out a thousand crystal coins?’
Therefore, they definitely didn’t believe what Andrew said.
“Haha, your joke is funny, but if you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine too.”
“If you need any Tamed Beast food in the future, you can look for me. Here is my business card.”
“Yes, I’m very happy to make friends with you. If you need anything in the future, you can look for me. I’m in the herbal business.”
“I’m in the Tamed Beast trade business…”
Many people took out their business cards and handed them to Andrew.
Andrew didn’t reject any of these people’s goodwill.
Maybe he would need these people in the future.
Since they saw him with Haus this time, so they must think that he was related to him.
If he did business with these people in the future, he could also get some benefits.
“You’re in the timber business? Okay, okay, just give me your business card…”
“You own a Tamed Beast hospital? Okay, give me your business card. If I have the chance, I’ll visit you in the future…”
Amy and Haus looked at Andrew, who was talking to many upper-class people and were speechless.
“This kid is a student? Why do I feel that he’s more like a businessman?”
Haus couldn’t help but ask his daughter.
Amy was also speechless.
She could probably guess the reason why Andrew wanted to forge a good relationship with these people.
“Maybe… he likes to socialize.”
She could only give a dry laugh in response to her father’s question.
Just as the auction was about to begin.
Andrew got most of the people’s business cards and got familiar with most of the upper-class people present before returning to Haus’s side.
Andrew was indifferent towards the two’s speechless reaction.
“I truly admire the workers who promote the economy of Alice City, so I couldn’t help but say a few more words. Uncle Haus, please don’t mind.”
Haus finally understood what Andrew meant.
He nodded in admiration.
“Of course not. You attach great importance to the economic development of Alice City. You are indeed a pillar of society.”
Amy was speechless.
She secretly rolled her eyes at Andrew.
She couldn’t help but comment in her heart.
‘How is this being serious about the economy? More like you are taking a fancy to someone who wants to give you a discount!’
Andrew had a righteous look on his face as he smiled at the two of them.
“Uncle Haus is too polite. As a native of Alice City, this is what I should do.”
Haus patted Andrew’s arm approvingly.
Just as the three of them were chatting.
The lights at the auction venue suddenly dimmed.
The next second.
The lights turned bright again.
In the eyes of the crowd, an auctioneer with a hammer appeared on the stage.
“Dear ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this auction. This auction officially begins…”
After a simple opening, the auction proceeded as usual.
“The first item up for auction is a three-star fire-type Beast, Flame Horse… the starting price is 1500 crystal coins! The bidding price is no less than 100 crystal coins! Let the auction begin!”
“1600 crystal coins!”
“1700 crystal coins!”
The first items up for auction were all Tamed Beast cubs with higher star ratings.
“Father, are my Unicorn cubs being auctioned here?”
Amy suddenly thought of something and asked Haus, who was beside her.
“Yes.” Haus nodded.
“The owner of this auction is very mysterious. Some three-star Tamed Beast cubs and even four-star cubs can be found occasionally. Last time, there were four-star Unicorn cubs, so I bought them for you.”
Hearing this, Andrew was speechless.
As expected of the captain of the Wolf Wind Expedition Team, he was indeed rich!
A common three-star Tamed Beast cub in this auction costs more than 1000 crystal coins.
A four-star Tamed Beast cub was estimated to cost more than 10,000 crystal coins.
Amy’s father bought it just like that.
It was simply inhumane!
Soon, the first three-star Flame Horse cub was bought for 2200 crystal coins.
“Next is the second Tamed Beast cub: three-star Tamed Beast Black-striped Spider. The starting price is 1100 crystal coins. Please bid!”
Just as the auctioneer on the stage finished speaking, Andrew’s ears twitched.
He heard a familiar voice behind him.
“Dad, please buy this pet for me. My Venomous Giant Snake is dead. If I don’t buy a Tamed Beast, I won’t be able to participate in the next competition!”
‘Huh?’
Andrew was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Then, he turned his head and saw Bill from afar.
“I didn’t expect Bill to appear here.”
Andrew’s heart skipped a beat.
But he quickly figured it out.
Bill’s Tamed Beast was a three-star Beast, which meant that his family environment must be pretty good.
It was normal for him to appear here.
After all, his Venomous Giant Snake was already dead.
If he wanted to graduate, he would have to contract another Tamed Beast.
As expected, this Black-striped Spider was auctioned off by Bill’s father for 1900 crystal coins.
After a while, the item that Andrew was aiming for finally appeared.
“The next auction item is 10 kilograms of two-star Dragon Blood. It has the effect of improving the physique of a Tamed Beast. The starting bid is 1200 crystal coins!”
Andrew’s spirits were lifted.
As expected, there was Dragon Blood!
But to be honest, this auction venue cheated.
According to Edward, the Dragon Blood should only be around 1000 crystal coins.
He did not expect the bid to start at 1200 crystal coins here.
But he had money now.
A few thousand crystal coins were still nothing to him.
“The auction begins!”
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the auction house was filled with the voices of continuous bidding
“1300!”
“1400!”
“1500!”
The price rose to 1900.
Andrew was not in a hurry to speak.
He waited for the bids to slowly increase for a while, at the same time, he was also observing.
He was observing who wanted to buy the Dragon Blood.
From his observation, most of the people who wanted to buy the Dragon Blood were people with family members.
It seemed that the Dragon Blood was quite popular. Many people wanted to buy it for their children to use.
What was worth Andrew’s attention was that Bill’s father also participated in the bidding.
The bidding continued until it reached 2500.
The number of people gradually decreased.
At this moment, Andrew spoke.
“3000!”
The moment he said this, the atmosphere at the scene froze.
Many people looked at Andrew.
It was indeed rare to see an increase of 500 crystal coins in one go.
Especially when he saw Andrew’s young face, he was even more surprised.
Bill also noticed Andrew at this time.
“It’s him! Why is he causing trouble everywhere!”
Bill was suddenly so angry that his teeth were itching.
Bidding 3000 crystal coins were also Andrew’s strategy.
Especially with the advantage of having Haus Lawson beside him.
After all, raising the price by 500 crystal coins suddenly was equivalent to sending a message to others.
‘I must get this thing!’
When others saw Haus next to Andrew, they would definitely think that Andrew was one of Haus’s people.
It also made many people consider whether they would offend Haus before bidding against Andrew.
Sure enough.
After Andrew made his bid, no one dared to make another bid for a few seconds..
