“Boss, it is the people from Twilight!” Little Four immediately reported.

“They are the enemy of the Federation. They will definitely try to make things difficult for us.” Ling Lan had expected trouble.

After that, a few more people bidded. They were all from different countries. Although the people who bidded were merchants, everyone knew that they represented a certain faction in their country. Some even represented the entire nation.

“Boss, the Yun family is bidding now.”

“Yun family? Seems like Yun Feiyang really wants to gain the heart of Princess Gulibaduo.” Ling Lan guessed the intention of the Yun family.

After a few rounds, Princess Gulibaduo bidded again. She raised the bid of the Babu scepter to a hundred million credits. She wanted to use this amount to show the other countries that the Balaya Kingdom was determined to get the Babu scepter back. The other countries should weigh their choices and see if it was worth offending the Balaya Kingdom.

However, Gulibaduo’s actions didn’t have much effect. A new round of bidding started. As the price got higher, Aobu Ruoya’s smile got brighter. If the price of an item got higher, it showed that he was a good auctioneer.

“Seems like the other party doesn’t want the princess to get the scepter so easily…” Ling Lan observed for a while and understood what the other countries were trying to do. They knew how important the Babu scepter was to the Balaya Kingdom but they still bidded for it. They wanted the Balaya Kingdom to lose a huge fortune.

After some time, a few bidders gave up. There were only five bidders left. Ling Lan looked up and glanced at Li Lanfeng.

As expected, Li Lanfeng was focusing on Ling Lan. Although his eyes were staring at the optical supercomputer, he looked up when Ling Lan glanced at him. Their eyes met.

Li Lanfeng lowered his head casually and said to Li Yingjie, “Ma Rao, do you think that we should act now?”

Li Yingjie looked enlightened. “Yes. The princess allowed us to come in so that we can help her. Thanks for reminding me. If not, I will feel sorry towards the princess.” He added ten million to the current bid without any hesitation. Since he was not using his own money, he didn’t feel any burden when entering all the zeros.

“Booth#239 bidded 580 million credits.” The appearance of a new bidder silenced the crowd.

“Who is inside booth#239?” The businessman from Twilight narrowed his eyes when he saw a new competitor.

His assistant flipped through the information that he received and said, “They are people from Aoqi.”

The businessman pondered. “Is Aoqi trying to interfere in this matter?”

“Ah, boss, I have just received a new message.” The assistant’s communicator beeped.

“What is it?”

“Aoqi says that they will be taking over the bidding from now on,” the assistant replied carefully.

“What is this? Didn’t they ask a few of us to cooperate to bleed the Balaya Kingdom?” The businessman from Twilight was furious. He was unhappy that Aoqi kept changing their mind.

“They explained that it was because the Balaya kingdom will continue to increase the bid. It is okay for us to reveal our bottomline but if we reveal it too often, we will be discovered. The Yun family from the Federation is participating in the bidding too. They even have an ace hacker with them,” His assistant replied.
