2986: Convulsed

Convulsed

"How is this possible? How could I have possibly paid such a high price for this thing?" He stared at his guard in disbelief: "Why didn't you stop me?"2

"Second Master, servant tried to stop you, but you you…" His face was tearful. He had obviously tried to stop him, but as soon as he tried, his Master stared at him like he was about to bite his head off. What else could he have done? 

"But, why did I buy it then? I didn't even intend to buy this thing! What's more, I bought it at such a high price, this…" He thought of the two hundred and fifty thousand spar that had been given to him by his Patriarch to buy the blood jade ginseng, and now that the blood jade ginseng was nowhere to be seen, yet all the money had been spent. How would he explain this when he went back?

Just when he thought of this, he felt a throbbing pain in his chest, and his face turned pale instantly. Cold sweat oozed from his forehead and his whole body convulsed, then he fell onto the ground.

"Second Master!" The guard exclaimed and supported him quickly: "Someone come quickly!"

The steward was just about to leave after he had handed over the item when he saw this scene and turned back quickly to help: "Let's go back inside, we have a doctor in the building."

Feng Jiu, who was sitting in the first row, looked at the next auction item. When she saw that it was an elixir of a certain age, he held up her auction card and shouted out a price, finally, she bought it for thirty seven thousand spar. 

"Young Mistress Feng, would you like to settle the bill now or later?" The steward asked with a respectful smile on his face. His different attitude towards her made other people look sideways at them. 

"Who is that person? Why is the steward of the auction house being so polite to her?" A middle-aged man asked a maid who was waiting on the guests in the auction house. 

The maid didn't know who the guest was, so she answered softly: "Servant doesn't know."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was a little surprised and looked at the person beside him: "Brother Lin, do you know?"

"Hehe, of course. In Cardinal Point City, who doesn't know her?" The other middle-aged man said with a smile.

The middle-aged man was even more curious when he heard this: "Oh? Why is that so? Does she come from powerful background?"

"That is indeed so." The other person said: "And it is also extraordinary. After the auction is over, come over to my manor for a few drinks and I will tell you all about it slowly!"

"That's a good plan. I still haven't had a chance to pay Brother Lin a visit at your manor this time I've come to Cardinal Point City."

The two of them started chatting to each other while they looked at the auction items on stage. They listened to the people around shouting out prices, and soon, the middle-aged man realised that as long as the woman in red had called out her price, the locals of Cardinal Point City wouldn't bid against her. The only ones who would do so were people from other places. 

However, in the end, their bids were always outbid by the woman in red. This was because no one knew if the woman in red would stop bidding after she had bid a high price. After all, the reason the third auction item was sold for such a high price was because the woman in red was raising the price. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been sold for such a high price. 

Therefore, the people from other places only bid what they could and didn't dare to raise the price much higher. 

In the backyard of the auction house, a doctor was diagnosing the man who had convulsed. After examining the man for a while, the doctor took a few steps back and came to the table.

"How is he?" The guard stepped forward hurriedly and asked, his face was full of anxiety.
