Do I hear 11 million?"A second bidder, an elegant woman with a penchant for fine art, promptly responded, "11 million dollars!"The room buzzed with excitement as the bids continued to climb. The third bidder, a lively art enthusiast with a penchant for making a statement, raised their paddle, exclaiming, "12 million dollars!"Vanessa, seizing the opportunity to bask in the admiration, announced loudly,"Ladies and gentlemen, you're not just bidding on art; you're bidding on an art that'll. This piece represents the pinnacle of sophistication and taste."Robert, joining in the theatrics, added, "Indeed! This artwork is a symphony of creativity, a visual feast for the discerning connoisseur. Don't miss the chance to own a true masterpiece."The fourth bidder, a collector known for their love of high graded pieces, entered the fray with a spirited, "13 million dollars!"The auctioneer, caught in the enthusiasm generated by Vanessa's prideful promotion, encouraged the bidders, "We have a truly exceptional piece on our hands, ladies and gentlemen. Let the bidding reflect the extraordinary value of this artwork!"Emily and the rest of the family watched with a mixture of amusement and incredulity. Emily leaned over to Henry and whispered, "Well, it seems Vanessa knows how to make a scene."This is getting interesting. I wonder how much your art will be bidded. Maybe 5 dollars?" She laughed.Henry, with a sly grin, replied, "Let's see if the bidding matches the drama."The bids continued to escalate, with Vanessa and Robert's artwork becoming the focal point of the auction. As the numbers climbed higher, Vanessa continued her prideful, arrogant promotion, "Come on, dear bidders! This is your chance to own a piece of history. Don't let this unparalleled work of genius slip through your fingers."The fifth bidder, a wealthy entrepreneur known for their extravagant art collection, raised their paddle with a determined, "14 million dollars!"The auctioneer, swept up in the competitive energy, intensified the calls, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are witnessing history in the making. The bidding for this extraordinary piece is unprecedented. Who will be the fortunate owner of this cultural gem?"As the bids reached 15 million dollars, Vanessa, undeterred, exclaimed, "To the person who wins this artwork, I promise you'll be regarded as a visionary, a patron of the arts! You'll be the talk of high society!"The room fell silent for a moment, creating an air of anticipation. The auctioneer, with a twinkle in their eye, called out, "Going once, going twice... Sold! To the visionary who recognizes the true value of this masterpiece!"The final bid was met with applause, and Vanessa and Robert exchanged triumphant glances. They approached the stage with an air of self-importance, ready to revel in their victory.The auctioneer, with a touch of irony, remarked, "Congratulations to the proud new owner of this unparalleled work of genius. May your walls be forever graced by this art of sophistication."As Vanessa and Robert left the stage, Emily couldn't help but tease Henry, "Well, it looks like they found someone who bought their artwork. I hope they have a big wall to accommodate that 'masterpiece.'"Henry, with a grin, replied, "Who knew a blank canvas could be so valuable?"The art bidding continued, with each piece finding its admirer and a new home.As the auction progressed, the bidding for other artworks took on a life of its own. The auctioneer, fueled by the competitive spirit in the room, encouraged bidders to showcase their enthusiasm in acquiring these unique pieces.A vibrant, abstract painting by Emily garnered attention, with the bidding starting at a modest 5 million dollars. The first bidder, a collector with a penchant for contemporary art, eagerly raised their paddle, exclaiming, "5 million dollars!"The auctioneer, known for their wit, quipped, "Starting off with a bang! Do I hear 6 million?"A second bidder, determined to make the artwork theirs, swiftly countered with, "6 million dollars!"The room erupted in laughter as a third bidder, a spirited art enthusiast, playfully shouted, "Let's make it an even 10 million dollars!"The auctioneer, embracing the lively atmosphere, declared, "Now we're talking! 10 million dollars. Do we have any takers for 11 million?"With no one bidding it, the auctioneer had no option but to hit the hammer, "sold at 11 million!A round of applause follwed as Emily walked to the stage smiling and greeting everyone."That's a fair amount considering Emily is not a person who's interested in art. I'm shocked her piece was sold that high. I can't wait to see what Henry's artwork will be sold at. It'll be low," Robert said to his wife while clapping and cheering Emily."It will be sold low. Henry thinks that foolish man who praised his work has given him a little chance for his work to be sold high. I pity his ignorance," Vanessa laughed with her husband.The bidding continued, with each increment met by enthusiastic responses from the crowd. The humorous banter between bidders added a playful element to the event, turning it into a memorable spectacle.Meanwhile, the auctioneer finally brought forward Henry's work with a look of disdain on his face.But despite his face, Henry's work became the focus of attention."Right, who's willing to bid this artwork? This art might be good for decorating your kids bedroom or used as an illustration for little kids. Despite being so odd, it might have a little value," the auctioneer talked down on Henry's art while holding it like a piece of shit.A soft-spoken bidder raised their paddle, saying, "1 million dollars."Vanessa burst out in laughter. Her laughter drew attention from those who were in the room.Noticing that people were looking at her, she waved her hand, "I'm sorry for laughing. I never knew such trashy art would be bidded for as low as 1 million dollars. It's evident the person behind this art has no talent. What a shame!"Related Chapters

That family incurred fear from countless others, and no one dared to challenge them. “The Brown Emblem! W–who are you?” Peter gripped the badge with both hands, his body began to shake, and beads of sweat ran down his forehead. “You must be blind! This is Sir Damon Fletcher!” The large man hollered. “Damon Fletcher?” At the sound of the name, Peter immediately paled in fear. Not many knew of that name, but that man had a popular nickname–the Executioner! He had an infamous reputation for being the human butcher who sliced people like butter. There were three great generals in the Brown family–the Executioner, the Sword Whisperer, and the Drunken Maniac. Each one of them was enough to shake the country.

Henry hummed. He was about to say something else when his phone started ringing. Emily was calling him. Muffled noises could be heard as soon as he picked up. “Let me go.

“Don’t be rash, Micheal!” Peter warned gravely. “He has the Philip family to support him, and now, he has Eric Morgan‘s support as well.

Should we fight to the death?” “No. We aren’t at the end of our rope yet. Let me make some calls. Peter pulled out his phone and began asking for help. The Clark family still had some friends and partners, so they’d definitely pull through as long as he managed to raise the funds. “Hey. Mr. Paul, it’s me. I’m kind of short on cash, so do you think you could help me out? I’ll pay you back with interest after the turnover.” “Hi, Mr. Andrew. This is Peter Clark.

As soon as they heard that he was trying to borrow money, these people who claimed to be his friends immediately changed their attitudes and came up with all sorts of excuses to refuse
He Got Lucky
“That much?” Micheal’s expression drooped. “Would Morgan agree to loan us three billion in one go?” “Morgan controls one–third of all the cash flow in flaz city. What’re three billion dollars to him?” Peter took a sip of tea and said casually, “Not to mention, I even came here personally. Would he dare to say no? He should be happy that our family is cozying up to him on our own accord instead.” “That’s true.” Hearing those words, Micheal let out a sigh of relief. The Clark family did have prestige out there; Morgan had to give them some respect. As the two were speaking, the door suddenly opened, and a few people entered. The one in the lead was none other than Eric. The moment they met. Peter stood up and extended a hand, his face full of smiles. “Hey, Mr. Morgan! Long time no see. You’ve gotten much more handsome!” However, when he saw Henry behind Eric, his smile froze on his face. “Punk, what are you doing here?!”“You’re here, so why can’t I be here too?” Henry retorte
