Chapter 131
The item put up for auction was a brown leather book, and it looked ordinary, but Darius‘ blood kept boiling at the sight of the book. He could feel an innate connection with the book. and he could barely keep himself from rushing over to the stage and grabbing the book.
Janet noticed Darius‘ keen attention on the book, but couldn‘t understand why Darius was so interested in the book. After all, the book looked so ordinary and she couldn‘t find anything special in as she looked at it. Just as she was about to question Darius about the book; the emcee‘s voice echoed in the auction hall.
“Next, we have the ‘Journals of Madra‘ up for auction. As we all know, Madra was the fifth and most successful emperor. This leather books contain the journals of Madra, his exploits, and his insights from his reign.”
As soon as the emcee completed her statement, majority of the people present eyes widened in shock
The “Journals of Madra‘ was a book with great value attached to it. It was lost in the Great War, and the aristocrats liad no idea where the book disappeared to after it was lost. Who would have expected the book to suddenly make an appearance here at the auction in Vane
city?
The emcee had a satisfied look on lier face after gaining the attention of the guests present, before speaking “The starting bid for the book is 20 million dollars, with increment of no less than 5 million dollars.” The emcee stated. No sooner had the emcee concluded her statement did someone call out an opening bid. “30 million dollars!” the person stated confidently. “35 million dollars!” another person immediately countered.
UN
“40 million dollars!” another guest placed his bid instantly.
The importance of the book could not be over emphasized to history lovers and scholars. It was something that greatly interested them, so they would naturally not be stingy when bidding for the book.
Darius knew at once that he had to get the book. He could feel an innate connection to the book, and he would definitely regret it if he was unable to get the book. Hence, he placed his bid without any hesitation.
of course, it was an astronomical sum.
“100 million dollars!” Darius called out powerfully.
