Chapter 233: A Bid of Six Hundred Million!

(Author’s POV)

The atmosphere in the auction hall reached a boiling point. Everyone craned their necks, desperate to catch a glimpse of the mysterious “Shadow Healer Lily.”

25 Ports

A murmur of anticipation rippled through the crowd, nervous and heated. This was no longer a

standard commercial bid. It was a war about to explode.

Sitting in the Gale Pack’s designated area, Griffin sneered at the commotion surrounding him. He

turned cold eyes to Alpha Arthur beside him.

“Bid immediately,” Griffin ordered without hesitation.

For Griffin, securing these copyrights was essential to proving the Drake family’s dominance. He

didn’t care who the author was or if she was even present.

Alpha Arthur nodded instantly, wiping sweat from his brow. He signaled his secretary to make the

announcement.

Alpha Arthur’s secretary stood up, adjusting her glasses. Her voice cut through the noise with practiced precision.

“Gale Entertainment bids one hundred and fifty million,” she announced loudly. “Plus fifteen percent

of the global box office revenue.”

The astronomical figure sent shockwaves through the room. The hall erupted into chaos.

Representatives from other entertainment companies looked at each other in dismay. They realized their prepared budgets were meaningless in the face of such absolute wealth.

Anya felt a mountain of pressure land on her shoulders. The authorization budget the company had given her was only fifty million.

Yet, she didn’t show a hint of panic. She kept her lips pressed into a tight line.

Her fingers tapped a steady rhythm on the table. Her mind raced, calculating a counter–strategy

amidst the overwhelming odds.

Zachary noticed Anya’s silence. He assumed she was terrified by the Gale family’s power.

With a smug grin, he strutted over to her table. He looked down at her with undisguised contempt.

“Looks like you’re just a sacrificial lamb,” Zachary mocked. “Your boss Amelia doesn’t even dare to

show her face.”

He leaned in closer, his voice dripping with condescension.

“You should just quit and run, Anya. Don’t waste your time here.”

Anya didn’t react with the panic Zachary expected. She didn’t even bother to look up at him.

She simply raised her wrist and checked her watch. Her expression was one of professional boredom and annoyance.

“Zachary,” she cut him off coldly. “Unless you’re here to raise the bid, you’re blocking my view.

Move.”

Zachary froze, choked by her unexpected dismissal Before he could recover, Skylar sitting next to Anya joined the counterattack.

“Hear that?” Skylar said sharply. “No one wants to see your face, Zach. Save your breath.”

Just then, Anya’s phone buzzed on the table. It was Amelia.

Anya answered immediately. On the other end, Amelia ignored the tension in the room completely.

Her tone was undeniable and commanding.

“Bid two hundred and fifty million,” Amelia ordered. Keep the other conditions the same as Gale

Entertainment.”

Anya’s eyes widened slightly at the number. But her training took over instantly.

“Understood,” she said calmly.

She hung up the phone and raised her hand without hesitation. Her voice was steady and

powerful.

“Starlight Entertainment bids two hundred and fifty million!”

The crowd gasped again, stunned into silence.

Zachary jumped up, his face red with disbelief.

“They’re bluffing!” he shouted, pointing a trembling finger. “There’s no way Starlight has that kind of

cash!”

Skylar shot back immediately. “Shut up, you short–sighted idiot.”

The situation threatened to descend into chaos. Griffin’s cold voice suddenly sliced through the

noise.

“Enough,” he snapped, silencing Zachary instantly.

Alpha Arthur looked at Griffin with visible distress. He leaned in, whispering urgently.

“Mr. Drake, our budget was only three hundred million for marketing hype. We didn’t actually plan

to spend that much cash.”

Griffin’s eyes narrowed dangerously. He had to win against Starlight at any cost.

“The Drake family will cover anything over the limit, he stated. “Bid three hundred million.”

Arthur swallowed hard but obeyed.

“Gale Entertainment bids three hundred million!”

This crushingly high bid shattered the hopes of the smaller companies. They had hoped for

snagging a bargain.

Now, they sat back helplessly. They were reduced to mere spectators in a game for the elites.

Down on the floor, Anya’s face was grave, but her posture remained rigid. Beside her, Skylar

clenched her teeth, putting her faith in her boss.

Claim

Suddenly, a crisp voice rang out from the second–floor VIP booth. It pierced through the entire hall.

“Starlight Entertainment,” the voice declared. “Five hundred million.”

The hall fell into a deathly silence. Even the air seemed to freeze.

Griffin’s face turned the color of iron. He snapped his head up to look at the second floor.

Hesitation flickered in his eyes. Was Amelia playing him for a fool?

Amelia leaned lazily against the railing of the balcony. She looked down at Griffin from her high

vantage point.

Her blue eyes held a mix of pity and mockery. She watched Griffin waver.

A sarcastic curve touched her lips.

“Look at you, Griffin,” she called out. “Puffing your chest, throwing money around for appearances.”

She tilted her head slightly.

“It reeks of desperation,” she said softly, though her voice carried perfectly. “Are you buying rights, or are you trying to buy approval?”

The words struck Griffin like a physical blow. They targeted his deepest insecurity–his reliance on family shelter and his desperate need to prove himself.

His fragile Alpha pride shattered instantly.

His pupils contracted to pinpoints. His eyes flashed a dangerous shade.

A low growl vibrated in his chest. He lost all reason

He roared out the words himself, his voice shaking with rage.

“Gale Entertainment, six hundred million!”

The crowd went into a frenzy. The audience’s excitement hit a boiling point.

“This is the world of the top families,” someone whispered in awe.

Griffin stared up at Amelia provocatively. His chest heaved with exertion.

He gestured for her to continue, daring her to bid higher.

But Amelia didn’t continue.

She stood high above him, looking down. A smirk played on her lips.

Slowly, she raised her hands.

*Clap.*

*Clap.*

*Clap.*

She began a slow clap. The crisp sound echoed harshly in the sudden quiet of the hall.

Alpha Arthur let out a massive sigh of relief. He hurriedly signaled the host, Helena Shaw.

“Let’s get the author out here to sign,” Arthur urged, wiping sweat from his brow. “We won.”

He was just glad they had secured the deal, even if the price was insane.

However, Amelia stopped clapping.

She leaned over the railing again, staring at the celebrating group below like she was watching a

circus clown.

Her tone was light, yet lethal.

“Six hundred million. Truly an amazing number. It’s just a pity… I never agreed to sell it to *you*. That is simply tragic.”
