After that, he called gently, "Four billion!"
He estimated Stephanie was almost reaching her limit so he only increased two million from Stephanie's previous offering.
At that moment, Stephanie's smile froze and her mouth was twitching.
"Four billion! Mister Severin just called four billion. Miss, are you planning to increase the bid?" Caroline shouted out excitedly.
As of this moment, only two people were bidding against each other. Thus, she just asked Stephanie directly.
Stephanie's face looked terrible because everyone was watching her and waiting for her to increase the bid, especially after what she said just now. Yet, the price had already reached her limit.
With an embarrassing smile, she said, "You win. I didn't bring enough spiritual stones to continue. I can see how much you like this cauldron and you also mentioned that you are an alchemist so I'll just give up on it."
The situation was too embarrassing for Stephanie to continue staying in the auction center. After finishing her sentence, she left the place and went back into the VIP Room.
"Damn it! The girl didn't win. Ugh! I'm so angry! He actually brought so many spiritual stones with him!"
At first, he was hoping he could have the chance to mock Severin after Severin lost the bid. Thus, he was not happy to see Severin win.
"Gosh, he's so rich. Could he know in advance about this auction item and prepare a lot of spiritual stones? What are we going to tell your father when we go back?" Musa sighed.
Musa was stunned and speechless at Stephanie's suggestion.
Stephanie smiled and thought she was very smart to come out with the idea. "Let's follow him and see where he's staying. Then we're going to take the cauldron tonight. No one is going to know that it's you and me with our faces covered. He also has no idea which sect we are from. So we're not embarrassing our sect, right?"
Although Musa disagreed and condemned the action, he knew how important the cauldron was to the sect, so he agreed.
"Okay. But you have to remember that we surely cannot reveal our true identity. Don't wear any token or anything that could relate to the sect. Do you understand?"
Stephanie looked at her waist and frowned. "I'm not wearing it. I already put it away when we left the sect!"
