    Chapter 313 On Purpose


    “Didn’t you say he’s a leech? So now he’s awesome?” Josephine responded with a smile.


    She was slightly surprised to learn that Jared was in possession of that much money. She had made


    up her mind to call William to ask him to pay for the snow lotus even if Jared couldn’t afford it. As the


    richest man in Horington, he could spare the money easily.


    Zyaire red at Jared and narrowed his gaze. A frosty expression took over his face.


    “Two hundred and ten million!” he managed between gritted teeth.


    Right after he spoke, Jared raised his paddle once again. “Three hundred million!”


    Hearing that, everyone gaped in disbelief. They started wondering about Jared’s real identity. The


    auctioneer beamed and roared, “The bid is now raised to three hundred million. I repeat, three hundred


    million. Would anyone else want to raise the bid? This bidder looks unfamiliar, so I believe he isn’t from


    Yeringham. Will no one from Yeringham bid against him? If news of this gets out, we’ll lose our


    nickname as City of Herbs!”


    The auctioneer was smart enough to sow discord between Jared and Zyaire. Earlier, Zyaire imed he


    didn’t want to embarrass Yeringham. If Zyaire didn’t raise the bid, he would be contradicting himself.


    Jared nced at the auctioneer. He’s good at sowing discord. He wants us to fight so they will get


    more profit!


    “Three hundred and ten million!” Zyaire clenched his jaw and raised his paddle yet again.


    Jared was about to do the same when Zeke stopped him.


    “Jared, even if the snow lotus is a thousand years old, it isn’t worth that much. Stop bidding!” Zeke


    advised.


    It was currently overpriced and too expensive to be bought. Jared would suffer a loss if he won the bid.


    “Zeke, I need the snow lotus!” Jared exined. He proceeded to raise his paddle and announced,


    “Three hundred and fifty million!”


    The crowd regarded Jared with curiosity. They were eager to know why he was willing to part with an


    astronomical amount of money just to get the snow lotus.


    Even those who weren’t herb experts knew that the snow lotus was overpriced. It wasn’t that valuable,


    especially since it was soaked in alcohol.


    Does this young man hold a grudge against Zyaire and is targeting thetter on purpose?


    That idea popped up in everyone’s mind. It was the only reason they coulde up with after seeing


    Jared’s action.


    Zyaire thought the same, too. His brows knitted together as he glowered at Jared. “Young man, are you


    doing this on purpose?”


    “I don’t even know you, so why would I do it on purpose? In an auction, the bidder who offers the


    highest price would win the bid. Mr. Rider, if you want, you can continue raising the bid!” Jared


    responded with a smile.

    Zyaire huffed, “We’re in Yeringham, so you’d better be careful!”


    With that, he stormed out of the venue.


    After Zyaire’s departure, everyone cast sympathizing gazes in Jared’s direction. How dare he offend


    Zyaire? He must have a death wish!


    “Three hundred and fifty million, deal! The snow lotus goes to you, sir…”


    The auctioneer pounded the gravel happily and courteously handed the snow lotus to Jared.


    After getting the snow lotus, Jared transferred the money into the auction house’s ount and left with


    Zeke and the rest. He had achieved his goal that day, so there was no need to remain at the auction.


    “Jared, you’ve offended Zyaire Rider. He won’t let this go. Besides, I’m afraid your deal will fall


    through,” Zeke said worriedly after they stepped out of the auction house.
