Shaun trailed after the couple and asked unhappily, "If it isn't Redushil, then why are you so agitated?"
Just then, the auctioneer announced, "The second herb today has a starting bid of five grand—"
"Ten grand!"
Lily interrupted the auctioneer.
Meanwhile, the Hidden Families snickered disdainfully after hearing that.
The herb didn't look like Redushil at all. Besides, the starting bid was five grand, so it wasn't an impressive item.
No one would fight with her for it. Yet, Lily offered a bid of ten grand.
She was a fool.
Unexpectedly, someone from Box No. 2 said, "A hundred grand!"
Then, Jaiden walked out of his box and smiled calmly at Loid and Lily. "I'm sorry, but I want this item as well. Since you have so much money, why don't you fight with me for it, Mr. Laurier?"
Meanwhile, Lily turned and looked at Jaiden viciously.
Once he saw that, Jaiden grew more confident.
On the other hand, Loid noticed the change in Lily's expression. He held her hand and patted her shoulder. He looked at Jaiden calmly. "Since you want to fight with me, Mr. Quinn, let's do so. However, you can't regret it."
Before Jaiden could reply, Loid immediately announced, "Five hundred grand!"
"A million dollars."
Soon after, a herb with a starting bid of five grand was worth 30 million dollars.
