“Don’t worry, Mr. Waller. Everything is ready!” Kenneth West, the person in charge of Chrisler Foundation, reassured him.
“Good. If all goes well, you and your foundation will be richer, by 3 billion,” Horace guaranteed.
“That’s great news!”
Kenneth could barely contain his joy.
All the guests were seated in the auction room.
Horace’s seat was in the center of the first row.
Before taking his seat, he swept his gaze over the crowd, the warning in his sharp and menacing eyes apparent for all to see.
He was warning everyone that all the artifacts tonight belonged to Triple Group. Not a single one of them was allowed to touch them!
The crowd immediately received his silent message and became too afraid to even think about bidding.
Soon, the auction officially began.
“The first item for tonight’s auction is an ancient manuscript, known as Lantingji Xu! The starting bid is ten million and each bid must be increased by at least one million!” the host announced excitedly.
“The bidding starts now!”
“Hold on!” Horace abruptly stopped the host.
“Mr. Waller, is there a problem?” the host questioned curiously.
Horace glanced at the crowd and announced, “All of North Hampton’s elites have gathered here for this auction! Everyone’s time is precious! I think that it’s better to put all the auction items out at once!”
“Uh…”
The host hesitated upon hearing Horace’s suggestion and looked at Kenneth who was amongst the audience.
The latter made an ‘okay’ sign with his fingers.
“Very well. We will present all of the auction items at once!” the host declared.
Horace addressed the crowd this time, “Does anyone object to this?”
“We’ll go with your suggestion, Mr. Waller!”
“Yes! May the highest bidder win!”
…
Everyone echoed their agreements.
Who would dare to go against Triple Group?
“I agree!”
Levi also raised his hands in full support.
An all-at-once auction? Count me in!
