The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 148

At this time, Jasmine felt a little awkward as she said, "Mr. Wade, please don’t take it to heart. Mr. Valeman has a rather short fuse." 3

Charlie shook his head indifferently before he said," Let's head inside now." 2

The guests entered the venue one after the other. The host was none other than Finn Baxendale, the owner 0 f Treasure Pavilion. He went on stage and gave a routine speech to start the auction section. 2

After that, the auction officially began!

Due to the sudden cancellation of the last auction, there were twice as many guests present at the auction today. 1

The first item that was placed on stage, courtesy of two ladies, was an antique copper incense burner covered in white mist and a fragrant smell.

At this time, the auctioneer introduced the first item." This is a Reverse Incense Burner, which is one of the treasures used by the king in the past. No one was allowed to use it without authorization from the king himself. Moreover, the production method for this incense burner has already been lost for generations and it is almost impossible to reproduce the same item today!” 1

As soon as he finished speaking, he motioned for his

assistant to light the incense.

At this time, the assistant, who was dressed in a cheongsam, carefully dug a handful of incense with a silver spoon before she lit it up.

As the white smoke slowly cascaded down the incense burner like a waterfall, the pine cranes on the incense burner looked extremely vivid, as though they were faintly flapping their wings.

The faint smell of incense filled up the auction hall and it was very refreshing.

Charlie nodded before he said, "This is indeed authentic ambergris made out of sperm whale. It is almost impossible to buy this kind of handmade incense nowadays."

The auctioneer knocked the gavel twice before he said, "The starting price for this Reverse Incense Burner is eight hundred thousand dollars and the price increase for each bid is one hundred thousand dollars." 4

The incense burner was indeed exquisitely made and i t was a rare collectible. Therefore, the auction price was very reasonable.

After a short while, the incense burner was auctioned away for 1.6 million dollars.

After that, the auctioneer began auctioning several other high quality antiques.
