"100 billion!"
The number kept increasing.
Clovis had been observing the auction the whole time. There were already four winners. As he predicted, Iskandar got one, Kalarn also got one, Jeremy Skylark managed to buy one, and Principal Vhalor from the First School also managed to buy one.
This left only one more painting for the rest of the people. They were fighting with their lives, trying to get their hands on this painting.
Ultimately, the auction was over once the last bid was announced.
"230 billion!"
"230 billion once? 230 billion twice? Sold!"
The one who managed to buy it was one of the top influences in Absalom, called Blue Ocean Group.
For those who couldn't get the painting, they could only cry in the corner. They wanted to snatch other people's paintings, but Principal Vhalor was backed by the government, while no one really wanted to oppose Clovis' grandfather-in-law.
