Chapter 261

After all, one hundred million was already above his budget.However, even if the others had given up already, there were still two people below the stage that would never give up that easily.Lee raised his bidder card. “Two hundred million.”Henry also lifted his card. “Three hundred million.”The price went higher and higher and so did the multiples.At this moment, Ewan was a little overwhelmed.Three hundred million was not a small amount of money. It would take a quarter of a year for him to earn back the money. However, when he thought about the title of the big boss of the entertainment industry, he couldn’t care less.Clenching his teeth, he raised his card determinedly. “Four hundred million.”As soon as his voice dropped, everyone was surprised.“The Hunter Group is so generous.”“Yeah. Four hundred million. How could they spend it just like that?”“It seems like it won’t be a surprise that the Hunter Group would come first in the entertainment industry this year.”“Oh my god! Imagine how much they would be earning!”“That’s right. By then, this four hundred million would be nothing compared to what they would be earning.”Listening to the flattering comments coming from the crowd, Ewan had lost himself for a while. Following Lee and Henry’s bid, No.5 ‘New Sander Street’ was already increased to one billion in value.Ewan couldn’t even process this. All he thought about was that if he couldn’t take the land, it would fall into another company’s hands and the consequences would be disastrous.So, tightening his face, he continued to lift his card. “1.005 billion.”He had made up his mind. He would stop if someone were to raise an even higher price.After all, it would take half a year for him to earn back that one billion. The expenditure would be too large for such a short amount of time.However, as soon as he finished talking, everyone at the scene quietened down.Even the two people who had been raising their cards earlier had kept quiet.Why did he feel like he was being deceived? The host on the stage announced thrillingly, “The Hunter Group has offered 1.005 billion for the land!” As he was saying that, he paused for a moment. “Is there anyone else who would like to make another offer?”No one at the scene spoke.Looking at the situation, the host continued with the flow and said, “1.005 billion going once! 1.005 billion going twice! 1.005 billion going thrice!”“And sold!”Alas, the sound of the gavel was heard. The Hunter Group had bought No. 5 ‘New Sander Street’ with the enormous price of 1.005 billion.During the whole process, Ewan was utterly silent and had an unpleasant expression.I was too impulsive!Looking back at what he had done, he felt that the 1.005 billion was wasted.The corners of Janet’s mouth quirked as she looked at the scene below the stage.Within ten seconds, she received a text message from Lee. ‘Janet, you were right. Ewan really got caught!’Smirking, Janet’s fair and slender fingers tapped on the keyboard. ‘I know!’‘Huh?’ Lee was confused.Janet: ‘Look at the second floor!’Blinking his eyes, Lee raised his eyes in suspicion.Janet was actually upstairs this whole time?At that moment, Lee saw Mason, who was sitting by the side, and instantly, he got rid of his idea to meet Janet upstairs.On WhatsApp, he said, ‘I’m leaving then!’After sending the message, he put his hat on and left quietly.In the meantime, Henry came back to the second floor happily.Grabbing the tea away from Sean’s hand, he took a sip before saying, “Ewan is a really stupid fella.”Upon hearing his comment, Janet put her hands into her pockets. Slowly, she walked to the side of Henry and teased, “You’re not any better than him, Young Master Moss. After all, no one would spend five billion on a performance.”Twitching the corners of his mouth, Henry was embarrassed. However, he parted his lips, desperately wanting to save face. “That was my love for Sweet Tune Guru! That’s why I was willing to spend that money!”“Really?” In an innocent, yet funny manner, Janet blinked her eyes.Henry was utterly ashamed by Janet’s teasing. His head held low and he looked pitiful. “Let’s eat. It’s on me!” Janet said softly with a slight chuckle in her tone.
