In the auction house, there were people who knew the inside story but did not dare to say anything.
But some people didn't understand what was going on. They woke up after the host dropped the hammer and questioned the rationality of the auction.
"How can it be?
Only one bidder?"
"Is there something wrong with this transaction price? What happened to Sotheby's?"
"Oh my God, is everyone crazy?
That’s the Eye of Helen, and it’s only sold for such a small amount?”
"If I had known that no one would bid, I would have bid!"
Everyone was talking a lot and there was some commotion.
Backstage at the auction, the owner of Helen's Eye, an old nobleman in his eighties, was also furious and lost his temper at the person in charge of the auction house.
"Holiday, what did you promise before? Didn't you tell me that you could sell at least 200 million magnesium gold?
What's going on now?"
The old nobleman said angrily.
Holiday also had a cold sweat on his forehead. He had just realized that something was wrong and wanted to stop the auction. However, the guests at this auction were all celebrities and the impact would be too great. Terminating the auction would cast a shadow on the credibility of the auction house.
I can only bite the bullet and persevere.
When the auction ended, Holiday was dumbfounded.
What's going on with this price? It's a treasure that many people covet, but there's only one bid on it?
The final transaction price was more than half less than they predicted! Such a price is simply a huge disaster.
First of all, the old aristocrats are far from meeting their psychological expectations.
Next is the auction house, which should have received more than half of the commission it should have received.
The last thing is their reputation. After selling such an outstanding item at a bargain price, who would dare to auction things to them in the future?
"I want you to give me an explanation!"
the old nobleman shouted.
Holiday wiped his sweat and said, "I'm going to investigate right away to see why this happened. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."
"If the price is this, I won't sell it!"
The old noble shouted.
"This..." Holiday became even more nervous.
The auction has been completed. If the old nobleman regrets, it will be a serious legal problem.
The old nobleman said coldly: "I remember that the bidder was the Queen of Greenland.
According to the pedigree of European aristocrats, she is my grandson, and as long as I say I won’t sell it to her, she won’t dare to say anything!”
"If that's the case, you two can negotiate."
Holiday said.
Just as he was talking, several people suddenly rushed in from the backstage. One of them was the son of an old nobleman who had been observing the situation in the venue, and the others were senior employees of the auction house.
They rushed to the old nobleman and Holiday respectively and murmured in low voices.
After a few seconds, both of their expressions changed.
After hearing his son's words, the old noble looked dumbfounded and couldn't believe it, and said in a trembling voice: "It's... it's... it's him?"
His son nodded and said with a sad face: "I have confirmed that it is him."
The old nobleman's lips trembled, and after a long time he said: "Then... then let's do it..." On the other side, Holiday was also full of disbelief. He was actually that legendary figure?
Was he the one who took the shot of Helen's Eye?
Hahahaha, even he is a client of our Sotheby's, so that's no problem! Everyone will know in the future that that person is our client, and Sotheby's reputation will definitely surpass other peers and become the number one in the industry.
!The old nobleman had no objections.
Sotheby's also provides the most convenient channel.
Princess Maggie took Li Xuan's black card to swipe the card. It only took a few minutes to complete the entire purchase process and get the Eye of Helen.
When this beautiful diamond falls on the palm of your hand, it feels different. The sea blue in it seems to be flowing, as if it wants to suck people in.
Li Xuan looked at it for a few times, then looked at the old nobleman and his son who were still a little reluctant to leave.
"After you owned this diamond, did something strange happen to your family?"
Old nobleman: "..."? Son: "..." The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then said tremblingly: "Sir, how do you know this?"
Li Xuan said calmly: "There is a deep curse on this diamond!"
The two of them trembled.
The old nobleman said: "Sir, you are right... In fact, there are many stories about this diamond that have not been disclosed to the outside world. Now that you can see it, I can tell you about it."
It turns out that this Heart of the Ocean, like another similar diamond "Hope", is actually a treasure that can bring bad luck to people.
Over the past hundred years, people who own this diamond have been attacked by strange diseases, sometimes the owner himself, sometimes his family members.
The old nobleman got this diamond ten years ago. As a result, his daughter contracted a strange disease and died within a few years. Later, his wife also contracted the same strange disease and died.
Starting last year, the old nobleman's body was also attacked by strange diseases. He was frightened and decided to sell the Eye of Helen.
After listening, Li Xuan nodded and said: "Actually, the value of this diamond is far more than 150 million, and I took advantage of you.
In that case, I will do you a favor."
As he spoke, Li Xuan walked over, grabbed the hands of the old nobleman and his son, and injected a bit of spiritual energy into them.
The two of them felt a wave of heat surge through their bodies, which disappeared in an instant. Then, their whole bodies felt as if some restraint had been lifted, and they felt extremely relaxed and comfortable.
"How is this going?"
The old nobleman was even more shocked to find that the strange disease that had been bothering him for a long time had disappeared, and he asked in shock.
"I lifted the curse from you."
Li Xuan said calmly, "This is my reward for you."
The old nobleman and his son couldn't believe it, but the comfortable feeling in their bodies couldn't be deceived.
"Thank you! Dear sir!"
The old nobleman was very satisfied.
Although he made more than 100 million less gold, he gained a new life, otherwise he would not have the life to spend it even if he had the money.
After the two left with a lot of gratitude, Maggie asked with some worry: "Since there is a curse on the diamond, how can I give it to your cousin?"
"it does not matter."
Li Xuan grabbed the diamond and shook it gently.
"ah!"
A shrill wail sounded from Li Xuan's palm, startling Maggie.
She only saw a wisp of white smoke coming out from between Li Xuan's fingers and disappearing.
Li Xuan opened his palm. Helen's Eye was intact, but slightly different from before.
The color doesn't seem that deep anymore.
"what have you done?"
Maggie asked.
"I lifted the curse inside. From now on, it will be an ordinary diamond and will not bring any disasters."
Li Xuan smiled.
That night, Li Xuan set out to return to China.
While he was still flying in the sky, the news that the Eye of Helen had changed owners had spread throughout the world.
"The legendary diamond changed hands for 100 million yuan!"
"Helen's Eyes, Where Does Love Go?"
“The auction price of a unique treasure is only 100 million yuan?
The identity of the mysterious buyer is kept secret, who is he?"
When the news spread, countless women around the world were wondering: Who can be the owner of Helen's Eyes?
