Queeny gave her an admiring look.
"Martha, you're the smart one."
Irvin was speechless.
He felt more or less unwanted.
But, despite his gripes, he was reassured by the knowledge that Felix was not really giving up, but would wait until the final showdown.
Soon, the foreigner began to fail.
He sighed helplessly, shook his head in despair, turned to Mr. Clemen with a shrug, and gave up.
Mr. Clemen's face lit up.
Perhaps Mr. Clemen had gambled everything on this occasion, so he was the highest bidder, if not the richest.
In the end, the Celestial Book, with its initial biding price of $80 million, was forced to reach $1. 5 billion by him and the foreigner.
At the same time, the hostess looked at the scene in complete silence and smiled, "Mr. Clemen is offering 1. 5 billion. Is there anyone here who wants to raise his bid again?"
There was no answer.
So she started to announce, "1. 5 billion first!"
"1. 5 billion Second!"
"1. 5 billion sold to...!"
"Two billion!"
Her words were suddenly interrupted by a low, strong voice.
The hostess immediately looked at the source of the sound, only to find that it was the young man sitting in the front row who had not made a sound since the first bid.
In fact, she had already noticed Felix. Because she was not from the community, she did not know him.
But because of his good looks and extraordinary grace, she could not help noticing him from the moment he entered the room.
At the beginning, when the Celestial Book came out, he made a bid. She had expected him to bid a second time, but he remained silent.
The hostess felt sorry, thinking that this person was probably not very rich, so he would stop so early, not competing with these people.
But she didn't expect him to bid at the end!
The hostess laughed, "The gentleman from Number three is now bidding two billion dollars! Will anyone bid more than $2 billion?"
As soon as Felix spoke, Mr. Clemen broke out in a cold sweat.
It was Felix Bissel!
The head of Dragon Club, heir to the Bissel family.
He thought he could not compete with Felix with his money. But now that he had bid that much, and Felix was just starting to raise his bid. What else could he do?
Was he really going to give up?
There was a struggle in Mr. Clemen's eyes.
Today he was determined to get Celestial Book one way or another.
So when he got there, he looked around and saw that most of them were a threat to him, but if he really wanted it, he still had a chance.
Only when he met Felix did his certainty break.
For he knew that no matter how useful it was to Felix, no one else would get hold of it if he liked it.
So, just before the start of the second half, he stopped by to check on him.
At the time, Felix didn't say he wanted that, and he was relieved.
He didn't know he was coming for that too!
