“Hey!” Zachary exclaimed in a serious voice.
“The Lindberg Corporation has upped their bid to thirty billion. What should we do now?” Lucy asked.
“The Lindberg?” Zachary raised his brows. “Danrique Lindberg?”
“No, it's...”
“Time's up!” The girl interrupted all of a sudden. She looked up at them with a scowl. “Are you all trying to buy time for the Nacht Group?”
“Oh, no, no, no...” The person in charge immediately explained, “I noticed Ms. Wright has made a call.”
“So what?” The girl bellowed. “Start your chant right now!”
“Yes, Miss.” The person in charge instantly gave the host a hand signal to proceed.
“All right. Thirty billion going once!”
“Thirty billion going...”
“What do we do? Should we?” Lucy panicked, “Mr. Nacht...”
Zachary froze for a bit and finally asked, “Who's that person?”
“She's...”
“Going thrice!”
“Mr. Nacht, we're running out of time! Should we...”
“Sold!”
Before Lucy could complete her sentence, the deal was sealed.
Everyone there was stupefied. The Nacht Group had lost in a bid for the very first time.
It was also Lindberg Corporation's very first auction in the country, and it was a successful one.
This also meant that the Lindberg Corporation had checkmated the Nacht Group for the very first time!
“Congratulations to the Lindberg Corporation for securing the South Sea territorial waters,” the host announced, “We'll be contacting your company to make the necessary arrangements.”
“Thanks!” The girl curled into a smile and walked out of the building, looking awfully smug.
