Initial offer is US$100?
Everyone thinks they heard wrong.
Anything that Carter sells starts at US$1 million or more. How can it be started only with US$100? Is this a joke?
Everyone is equally confused.
"I repeat, the initial bid is US$100," the auctioneer said with a smile. "This manual belongs to whoever is destined to be together, and its value cannot be determined by money. Therefore, Mr. Hall wants this item starting from US$100."
He pointed to the courtyard inside the glass box. "Well now, everyone can start bidding!"
"$50 million."
Everyone was still trying to guess what Carter was trying to do with such a low starting bid. Nor do they know what price to pay.
And they don't know if every call will be an extra $100 or any other number.
But before anyone knew of this, a loud voice echoed throughout the hall.
$50 million!
A person sitting in another corner was about to lift his plaque and ask for $1,000 when he heard this other offer and his hand awkwardly stopped in midair.
$50 million?
The price went up from $100 to $50 million from the first call?
Which crazy idiot is this?!
Everyone's gazes were instantly fixed on the first row, where Ethan gently lifted his plaque and did not move in the slightest.
Did he hear wrong? The starting price is $100! Not 10 million!
And even if it starts from $10 million, how can one immediately ask for a price that is $40 million above the initial offer?
The entire hall fell silent and had different opinions on the matter.
Some people looked at Ethan and wondered about his intentions. Some also stare at the manual and wonder if Ethan knows some secrets about this manual, which makes him very determined to get this item.
"$60 million!" Another voice sounded before they could think of anything.
Everyone turned to see that the voice belonged to Carson!
He lifted his plaque and called for his offer, but before he could even put down his plaque...
"$100 million," Ethan raised his plaque again without the slightest hesitation.
Many of them even felt their throats squeezed!
Ethan this is completely insane!
"$110 miles..."
"$200 million."
Carson raised his plaque again, but before he could even finish his sentence, Ethan also called. This time, it was even worse. He pushed the price up to $200 million.
That's the third offer!
And the initial offer is $100!
Everyone stared wide-eyed. They finally realize that Ethan is not crazy. He's just very rich...
Carson's expression did not budge and he raised his plaque again.
Ethan didn't even give her a chance to talk.
"$500 million," Ethan said as he lifted his plaque.
"Sir, please be patient. The master raised his plaque first, so you should let him declare his offer first," the auctioneer said kindly.
There was a glint in his eyes as well, as he had never seen an auction go on like this before. The price rose by tens of millions, and not even famous paintings were auctioned off like this.
Furthermore, this was merely a fist manual with a mysterious origin.
The auctioneer spoke these words only to give Carson a chance to bid. Ethan has asked for $500 million, so of course Carson should ask for a higher offer.
Ethan laughed and just kept his plaque in the air. He turned to look at Carson. "Mr Durham, keep calling your offer. I'll add $100 million on top of every offer he makes."
Everyone's head turned.
Is this a fight between the two of them?
They do not care what they are fighting for and just want to win with the amount of money spent?
Things must look like that.
But is it worth wasting hundreds of millions on this little piece of paper?
It just helps Carter commit murder.
