"200 million dollars!" said a newcomer in the industry that no one knew. Obviously, he was a bidder the mastermind planted in the auction.

"220 million dollars."

"240 million dollars," a famous tycoon bode. Everyone in the hall knew him. It seemed like he was determined to buy Canary No. 9.

"290 million dollars," said Abel.

"300 million dollars," Benjamin followed suit. Half of their budget was gone.

"310," The tycoon continued.

"330."


"Wait!" The emcee interrupted. "300 million dollars is beyond our transaction limit. To ensure proper payment, all buyers who bid above 300 million dollars have to pledge their assets."

Abel gave Luca a nod and the latter went to settle the paperwork. Benjamin did the same. Together, they pledged 600 million dollars worth of assets for Imperial Palace. If they won the bid, the price would be deducted immediately.

"560 million dollars, going once."
