The suspense that had been hanging over the Glasco Palace finally reached its breaking point.
The atmosphere was so tense that many people unconsciously found themselves gripping the armrests of their chairs, while countless viewers watching through the Skynet flooded the live chat with messages.
Some were begging Lara to end the Auction.
Others were begging someone…anyone…to make one final bid.
The comments rushed across the screen so quickly that they looked like a flowing river.
At that moment…
"GONE!!!!"
Lara's voice exploded through the hall.
She raised her hand high into the air before tightening it into a fist.
Immediately, the stage erupted with small fireworks and streams of colorful smoke.
The sudden display caused cheers to spread throughout the Glasco Palace.
The representatives of The Eclipse who were seated together immediately reacted with excitement.
Several of them stood up.
Others laughed openly.
Even Anderson allowed himself a satisfied smile.
