7 Days Later"So, you are saying if we are able to do this then the company will be able to experience a skyrocketed fame and our revenues will experience a boost?"Currently in the Red Big Bull Milliary Tech Company manager's office, Rex, who was seated at the head's office could be seen flipping through some files while Jeffrey with big drowsy eyes probably from not sleeping too well for the past few days could be seen seated on another chair.After seven days of work, Jeffrey was finally or should I say barely able to bring the company back on the route which impressed Rex and made him grateful for bringing Jeffrey into his company as right now a small amount of income has started being generated by the company.Picking up the newspapers in front of him with the headline, 'Gaza Under Intense Attack From Israel!' Rex's eyes flashed as he thought of how to utilise this to his advantage.From the news he got, no country has stepped out yet to give Gaza a helping hand and right now the
6:20 PMRepublic of GreenlandAs the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden hue upon the cityscape, the grand auction house stood like a beacon of extravagance in the heart of the bustling metropolis. Its exterior, a harmony of architectural splendor, boasted towering marble columns intricately carved with motifs of wealth and power. VrrrrrrExpensive cars, their shiny exteriors reflecting the bright lights of the surrounding area, pulled up to the entrance, disgorging their well-dressed occupants. These were the big wigs of society, the movers and shakers who could afford to bid on the most exclusive items up for auction.Their arrival was met with keen scrutiny from the guards stationed at the entrance. Dressed in black, they were every inch the epitome of professionalism and authority. Each car was carefully inspected before being granted entry, with the guards checking underneath and around the vehicles for any signs of suspicious activity. Only when they were satisfied t
"No problem, I am used to waiting, especially for a certain someone." Saying so as if hinting at something which Rex didn't notice as he approached one of the chairs and sat down, much to her disappointment which she tried hiding."Today's auction bidding will be tough, considering that some bigwigs from overseas are here," Rex mutters as he looks at each VIP room with tinted glass which prevents outsiders from knowing which guest is inside them and sighs, despite such, he is certain he can afford to outbid anyone if he sets his eyes on anything special.But, the thing is, he wasn't willing to give some of his money to Silvia and her so-called man. Anyway, a few millions or billions wouldn't shake him."Yes, I even spot the prince of Arab, the Prince of England and even the prime minister of China's advisor. It looks like Lucas's family really put everything they had into this auction to be able to bait those men who hardly leave their country to come over here." One eye says as she t
"Tsk, I can't believe someone will actually bid such an amount for it." One eye let out as she sipped her drink while eyeing the room which the voice came from, wondering who was inside it.Even Rex too was wondering who was inside the room and what was so special about that watch that he had to bid such an amount for it."Maybe the watch is important to him." Rex shrug."Or maybe it is a family heritage. I suspect it might be one of Lincoln's descendants bidding for it." One eye says.Rex couldn't help but agree to her words as he continued looking at the auction taking place. Nothing of interest caught his attention but finally, the regular items seemed to have been sold as the man made a gesture toward four hefty guards who stepped onto the stage, each holding a glistening tray covered in white fabric and stood behind the man."It is finally the time.""I can't wait to see what is inside!""Yeah, me too. Even if I can't bide for it. Just watching those big wigs wasting such an amou
"Isn't that a lil bit too much?""Damn, the person bidding for it in such a domineering manner!""I know right? Like was it worth that much?""I don't know but one thing I am sure about is, that man must be loaded.""I, Daddy Western Playboy bid 1.4 billion dollars for it, one of my girls loves it!"It wasn't long since the person talk that another voice from one of the VIPs let out in a cocky manner."Can the western playboy please give this old man a face? I want to buy it as a gift to my daughter who is getting married soon." The elderly calm voice says from the opposing room."Hmph! Such tactics wouldn't work on me." Oliver responded."... Fine then. I bid $2 billion for it.""... Well then you can have it now sir."****"This brat thinking of buying such expensive jewellery just for a girl? Your brother is truly a gentleman." One eye says as she chuckles, causing Rex to also chuckle while shaking his head.He truly was lost, he didn't expect Oliver to be shameless as to even redr
"3 billion dollars as the final price? Sold in 3,2...""I bid 4 billion for it..." GaspEveryone was shocked, even the VIPs and host or hostess.Simultaneously they all turned towards the room but couldn't see who was inside due to how dark the glasses were.Meanwhile, as soon as Silvia and Lucas heard that voice their expression turned stiff."Where did that bastard get such an amount of money?"****Despite being tight on budget due to the liquidation the company urgently are in need of reviving it. Rex still has some friends and cousins and thanks to Jeffrey builds some connections with most business people outside the country by selling some blueprints which Rex handed over to him. The company amount has reached a different level. Rex can swear that 40 billion dollars wouldn't be a problem for the company to produce currently which was why he was bold enough to participate in this competition for the items. At first, he just wanted to show up and maybe have a chance to irk Silv
6 Minutes Later "34.3 billion dollars and a little 7 billion dollars as a gift to the people in need."By now, everyone has already gone numb because of the competition and even the host and hostess were abnormally quiet with the host only saying, "Ah, 34.3 billion in 3,2...1? Huh?""The Lucas family gave in?""That can't be right?""I can't believe it."Finally, it came to an end as the Lucas family who should have countered the Lathwyn finally gave in which shocked everyone. They never expected the Lucas who starts the tauting to stop, this was a shame and a big face slap to them and their supporters.****"Now you know they have made an abnormally large profit from you right?"One Eye says as she looks at Rex with an eye which seems to be saying, 'Your move was stupid'Hearing her words made Rex's mouth arc into a mocking smile as he said, "Let us make a bet.""Oh, on what?""On who might have made a larger profit?""Mmmm," One Eye was intrigued as she looked at Rex while rubbing
"Ladies and gentlemen, there has been a slight change of plan." The host suddenly says, making everyone go rowdy as they wonder what has happened to make him shout like that.With a pale face, the host who had a gentleman's aura a moment ago suddenly looked like someone whose soul had been tormented and said, "Con- congratulations to Mr Rex for winning this bid. Our boss, Miss Silvia Medici, the daughter of the patriarch of the Medici clan and fiancée of Mr Grey Lucas, the heir to the Lucas family of Great Britain has officially told me to announce that the Wittelsbach-Graff Diamond ring which you won for the sum of 34.3 billion dollars will be given to you for free as a gift from her and her man."Rex: "..."One Eye: "..."The attendees: "..."Everyone was shocked to the core!No one expected it!"T-this must be a stunt pull by those two families right?"One of the people in the regular section couldn't help but ask. Why wouldn't he after witnessing such action?A bidding war which r
