Sif could feel her guts squirming, especially when someone asked Frank loudly if he would sell the Hale Marrow for 50 billion dollars.
Two hundred million for 50 billion—it went without saying that Frank had made a killing!
She would have competed against Frank's bid to the bid if she had known the devilry growing inside that hale pearl, and she certainly regretted not doing it now!
If she could, she would travel back in time to slap herself twice!
Just then, Trevor was clicking his tongue gleefully. "How about that, Ms. Lionheart? To think that your family sold the Hale Marrow to the Leaf family for just two hundred thousand. All I can say to that is… Tut, tut."
Frank was feeling buoyed too, and he was rarely happy about anything—the Hale Marrow was an extremely rare treasure, and much rarer than the Five Elemental Wonders.
Forget healing himself—they would make a booming business in Mark Lane's farm with this!
In fact, he had seen the sprout within the hale pearl from the start. It was why he made a bid for the Hyperion Root despite noticing that it was underdeveloped—not only was there something better, but he had sharply noticed that Sif already had beef with him and was definitely going to bid against him just for the heck of it.
Hence, he created a feint, telling Trevor to go all out and make a bid for the milk-white stalactite… which Frank had seen all along that contained nothing.
After all, he needed to make sure that Sif would not ruin his plans.
To no surprise, Sif really bid for the milk-white stalactite, so Frank kept luring her at every step of the way until she fell into the trap he prepared.
And after tricking her once, he knew Sif would be more wary the next time he made a bid, fulfilling his objective.
It was an elaborate scheme, but if Frank had not planned to swindle Sif from the start, he would be paying through the nose for the Hale Marrow instead.
