Nathan walked toward the window and said indifferently, “Hey, that woman next door, can you please stop imitating me blindly? If you keep doing this, the auctioneer won't know what he is supposed to do. Okay, since you want to compete with me, I'm giving you one last chance. I'll make my final bid now. Outbid me if you dare.”
At that moment, everyone was looking at Nathan, who was standing in front of the window of Sublime Room. His well-built physique and calm and determined look gave off a distinctive aura.
Then, he said nonchalantly, “I'll offer one billion for it!”
One billion!
Hearing that, the auctioneer was so astounded at the sight that his eyes almost popped out from his eye sockets.
That was ten times higher than the market price of the painting!
Everyone present stared at Nathan in shock, too, at that time.
Suddenly, a heavy silence filled the space so much that a pin drop could be heard.
The onlookers recovered their senses only after a few seconds. Then, they exclaimed in shock upon seeing what was happening.
“Oh God, who is this man? He is at a different league!”
“Yeah. The VIP in Starlight Room is Ms. Shae, the lady of the Davier family, right? How dare he
defies her?”
“Hehe, you don't know, right? He is the General, Nathan Cross. The person beside him is his wife, Penny Smith. Their company, Cross Group, is worth hundreds of billions. So, one billion means nothing to them.”
Everyone was surprised to hear that.
Meanwhile, Shae was triggered by Nathan's words and wanted to bid even higher.
However, her subordinates stopped her immediately.
“Ms. Shae, one billion isn't a small amount. To Davier family, it was considered quite a large amount. Let's stop here. I don't think the Daviers are willing to pay so much for the painting.
