Watching Lachlan muster up the courage to make his bid, Mason couldn't help but cringe. Little did anyone else know, Mason was well aware that this Suppressing Talisman was being sold by Lachlan himself! It was a total scam and Mason's brother-in-law was playing with fire. He either planned to swindle Summer or Kayden.
"42 million!" Summer called out again upon seeing Lachlan make his move.
"43 million! Ms. Willis, don't be ridiculous!" Lachlan gritted his teeth in frustration.
"44 million!"
"You don't have the funds for that kind of price tag, so shut it," Summer sneered.
"Fine then, you win," Lachlan seethed with anger and disappointment in his voice.
Kayden felt like he was on an emotional rollercoaster as he watched Lachlan sit back down defeatedly while also eyeing Summer warily. Was this really the end of it? Could there possibly be more?
"45 million!" Kayden, with a forced smile, spoke once more.
He was worried that even the 50 million dollars Isa had given him might not be enough...
If Lachlan came back, he would have to seek approval from Isa again.
"Brother-in-law, should we continue?"
At this moment, Mason, who was on the side, asked eagerly.
Watching Lachlan getting their comeuppance, he couldn't help but feel delighted.
"That's enough! Don't waste my own money." Lachlan chuckled and shook his head, feeling that it was time to stop.
At this moment, the auctioneer on the stage shouted excitedly, "45 million once! Twice! Three times! Congratulations to the gentleman in number 22 for winning this Suppressing Talisman!!"
"Phew... This darn thing finally stopped!"
Kayden let out a sigh of relief.
The scene was now in an uproar...
No one could have expected that this poorly regarded talisman would fetch such a staggering price!
"It had a starting price of just 5 million, and it went for 45 million! It's almost ten times the base price!"
"Who consigned it for auction? They must be making a fortune!"
"Is number 22 a big sucker? Spent 45 million on this thing. Who even knows if it's authentic!"
The crowd was buzzing with discussions...
That beauty, looking at Kayden at this moment, seemed to have a strange illusion that the his head had grown a size bigger.
"A bunch of idiots know nothing! This is a treasure that can kill Transmutation Force's later-stage experts. It costs less than 50 million, it's simply value for money!" Listening to the discussions around him, Kayden blushed and cursed.
"Yes! That's right! You're so smart, Kayden!"
The beauty nodded reluctantly and complimented him insincerely.
Slap!
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Kayden slapped her in the face.
