“Two hundred million going once!

“Two hundred million going twice!

When that word was uttered, the auctioneer raised his gavel and slammed it to the table. This signified that the guest in Room 9 now owned The King’s Portrait, having offered two hundred million for it.

Logan’s eyes widened when he saw the figures flashing brightly on the LCD screen. The King’s Portrait was valued at a whopping two hundred million!

Although he was the commander-in-chief of the Durbaine Special Forces, his yearly salary was only in the millions.

After tax deductions, he was only left with a few hundred thousand.
