"Ready, Vee. The bidding is live now." Down on the stage, the tall auctioneer in a white mask adjusted his suit. He pointed to the silver briefcase. "We are now at our final item of the night," the auctioneer announced, his voice echoing through the speakers. "Lot Three. A rare piece of military tech designed by a formidable person who wishes to be invisible. A high-yield electromagnetic pulse prototype. The Apex Trigger." The auctioneer raised a gold gavel.

I tried to save one of those wares, which is currently in my house, under my protection."

Soon, a business owner won the Augblood Bloom with his highest bid of over $640,000. Afterward, two more tonics were auctioned, but Kayson was not interested at all. However, the highest bids for both items were rather high at more than $1,000,000. It was apparent that the people here today had inside information about the auction items and were in demand for these tonics. They were not invited here just because of their prestigious status! At the thought of this, Kayson was worried about the auction result of the Bocca Fruit. Meanwhile, the fourth trolley was wheeled to the stage.

Aaliyah and Antonio took a seat beside Raymond. "Do you know how this works?" Antonio asked she nods. "Raise this if I want something from the auction and the money I used to buy it goes to charity." He nods, just as it began. Antonio raised his sign a few times, Aaliyah didn't, knowing how broke she was as she heard 200ml. Suddenly, his mother called Aaliyah over to her. "I'll be right back," Aaliyah got up he removed his hand from hers. "Be nice." She added.

Emma looked at him, gratitude evident in her smile. As their father stepped down, the auction commenced. Grayson understood these bidders well; he knew they would fiercely compete to acquire a Blackwood artifact, eager to claim ownership of a piece of history. It was all about the prestige—‘This was made or discovered by a Blackwood, and I now possess it.’ His father was fully aware of this dynamic; the auction wasn’t just about Emma in his eyes. It was a strategic move to elevate her presence in the art world and establish her reputation as a formidable artist in her own right.

I muttered, "I own shares in Moore Group, you know. This isn’t that funny." Trey replied casually, "What are you worried about? You’ve got founding shares—just don’t sell, and you won’t lose much. "Anyway, to make it up to you, there’s an auction this weekend. I’ll buy you something nice." Auction? Did rich people not shop at boutiques anymore? They just wait for auctions? I quickly asked, "Wait, is it this one?" I forwarded him the info Nicholas had sent me earlier. Trey was surprised.

The Carlsons' extravagant bidding war was a spectacle to behold. Vivienne's face betrayed her excitement, especially as envious glances fell upon her, filling her with pride. She knew Cedric would not let Austin win, no matter the cost. She imagined the necklace on her, and her smile widened uncontrollably. The eager audience waited for Austin to bid again, but he put down his paddle, letting Cedric have it. "4 million once, 4 million twice, 4 million sold!" Only then did Cedric turn to look at Austin, his expression unreadable. 'He rarely attends these events. Why is he here at this auction?'

I try to sound as cordial as I could manage. My eyes scan the room for Allister, and as if on cue, our eyes meet from across the room. He lifts a brow in silent question. I shake my head, letting him know that I’m perfect. His gaze remains on me for a moment more before one of the men he is speaking to taps him, and his attention gets diverted. I have no doubt Rhea noticed our little silent exchange, but she makes no mention of it. “I was wondering if you’ve seen the pieces available for auction today. There are lots of lovely pieces given out by my mother's close friends to be sold at auction price to raise money for displaced kids. Do you want to see? I can show you.”

Given Harold's lordly air, I could not imagine any other scenario, and Ella sounded so urgent that it had to be a hefty sum. The glasses guy looked me over and popped the question, "Sir, are you selling this car? 30 grand, firm." He gestured to the side. I glanced over and was stunned. My voice cracked with disbelief. "That's my new car, what's it doing here? "No, I'm not selling." I started to say. However, Harold lost it, lashing out with a kick, "This isn't your place to talk, beat it."

“Stay clean. Don’t waste what I gave you.” He nodded quickly, then leaned closer, dropping his voice so only I could hear. “That club I told you about. The one in the old quarter where they sell more than drinks? I’ve been hearing things. Big things.” His eyes flicked, nervous. “There’s an Auction coming. Bigger than any they’ve run before.
