"The next item up for auction is quite special! It's a symbol seal that was entrusted to us by a client. According to the client, if you tear apart this 'Suppressing Talisman,' it can unleash an attack powerful enough to kill even the strongest Transmutation Force experts in an instant!"
"As members of the Graham family, we cannot verify the authenticity of this symbol seal, but we can confirm that it contains strong energy fluctuations."
"It's up to you whether or not you want to bid on it."
"Starting price is 5 million dollars and each bid must be at least 100, 000 dollars higher. Let the bidding begin!"
After introducing the item, the auctioneer uncovered a transparent glass case revealing Lachlan's "Suppressing Talisman." The character "talisman" on top of it emitted a special aura that could captivate anyone.
"What is this thing? Is it real?"
"Can it really kill Transmutation Force experts?"
"This has got to be some kind of joke. How could tearing apart a piece of paper defeat someone as powerful as a late-stage Transmutation Force expert?"
The crowd murmured skeptically about this symbol seal.
After all, following their previous disappointment with the stone, no one seemed interested in bidding for anything else at first.
"I'll offer 8 million!" Lachlan raised his paddle and made his own bid when he saw no one else was interested in buying.
Everyone turned their attention towards him after hearing his offer; they didn't expect anyone would actually buy such an item.
"9 million!" Summer immediately followed suit after Lachlan made his offer.
This woman had unknown origins and seemed like she had unlimited money; she was now competing against Lachlan head-on.
"Ms. Willis, are you enjoying yourself?" Lachlan sneered inwardly but showed anger and frustration on his face outwardly.
"It sure is fun," Summer replied coldly.
"10 million!" Lachlan gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.
"11 million!" Summer didn't hesitate at all.
Lachlan flashed her an angry look before continuing, "15 million! I'm going all-in here!"
He looked visibly upset by how Summer kept outbidding him every time he tried raising her price point further.
Mason sat beside him watching everything unfold with amusement; he couldn't help but smirk at how sneaky his brother-in-law could be sometimes.
"18 million! Come on, bring it on! Do you think I'm afraid of you? Today, I'll make it clear that I want everything you want to buy!" Summer sneered and spoke with great confidence.
"20 million!" Lachlan gasped for breath and gritted his teeth.
"21 million!" Summer was unwavering.
Half a minute later, when the price reached 30 million between the two of them, Lachlan's eyes flickered and he sat back down with an unwilling expression. It seemed like he finally backed down!
"Heh heh, is that all? You're useless!" Summer saw Lachlan sit down and mocked him with a sneer.
"30 million once! 30 million twice! 30 million..." The auctioneer began counting down.
However, at this moment, another voice rang out, "I bid 32 million!"
Looking towards the source of the sound, Kayden surprisingly made the bid this time. He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses arrogantly as he raised his bidding card high in the air.
