Claudina glided onto the stage, where dozens of men in lavish suits sat, scowling at her as she stood and calmly regarded everyone in front of her. Claudina smiled, her beauty lighting up the room and causing some to stand in an unconscious display of anticipation. "Welcome, everyone," she said in a gentle voice, the sound seeming to caress each guest's ears and render them weak. "Tonight we will be hosting a charity event." she added. Claudina walked to the side, revealing the large screen behind her. On it was a video of orphans desperate for aid so that their home would not be destroyed for the sake of a business venture. "There are many people who have it worse than others," she said. "These children, who have lost their families and still have dreams in their hearts, need our help." Claudina scanned the room, hoping her actions would bring her the desired results. She was determined to make her intentions a reality. "I couldn't care less about this garbage; let's just get o
"A billion dollars for something that's essentially worthless? What did he get for that amount? A song dedicated to him? That's just ridiculous, even if he sells the song, I'm sure he won't get even a fraction of that money back." "Yeah, I agree, Claudina's singing is amazing, but a billion dollars? That's stupid!"All eyes shifted to Arthur, who sat in the corner of the room, questioning the man's identity."Who is he?" Aston glanced at Harry."How do I know, Mr. Aston? I don't really care either for him. What a waste for such a useless item. Let him take this one, and we will focus our money on the ultimate item." Harry answered condescendingly.Aston felt his pride had been sullied. Someone had insulted him by flaunting their wealth. He could not tolerate this, no matter who the person was."What a load of rubbish, he deliberately insulted me by offering a billion dollars just for a song?" he thought indignantly.As Aston headed towards Arthur, all eyes were immediately drawn to h
"No, I never agreed to this, Mr. Leo," Claudina said as she attempted to voice her discontent. However, she was powerless as four burly men surrounded her."Let me go!" she exclaimed, her face pale with fear. "I would never consent to this; I never intended to sell myself. You can't do this to me, this time you really forced me into something I didn't want," she added, shaking her head in disbelief.But Leo appeared proud and excited for the night ahead. After all, if someone was willing to spend a billion dollars on a useless item, how much would they be willing to spend to enjoy Claudina's body?Leo was accustomed to dealing with women like Claudina, who pretended to value their virtue when entering the entertainment world. However, he was well aware that it was all a facade; all the girls he had known had caved into money in the end. There was nothing in the world that could resist the money.What was more, Claudina was doing this tonight to raise a large sum of money to save those

It was as if the men in the room had become wild beasts, all ready to battle for the grand prize with all their might, especially those who felt they had enough wealth.He was faced with a difficult situation. He was unsure of what would happen if he act
"Mr. Glitzy, would you be so kind as to outbid me?" Harry turned to Arthur and, with a tremulous voice, asked, His tone was tinged with hope.Harry was overwhelmed by fear, his body trembling, and his face became pale as he tried to hide his anxiety. Although he was wealthy, he had no intention of squandering money on this particular situation. "Can you believe it? Harry actually begged Mr. Glitzy for something." "It's so embarrassing - turns out his big talk was all just a show."Aston smiled with contentment, rising from his chair. He clapped his hands gently, the sound reverberating around the room and immediately garnering the attention of everyone present.He knew that he was the only one who deserved to be the winner, and sure enough, one of his opponents had already surrendered before he even had to make a move. As usual, he had easily gotten what he wanted. This time was no exception."What a loser you are, Harry!" he declared. He then approached Harry and Arthur. "You two a
"Twenty billion dollars!" Arthur exclaimed, confidently raising his arm as he spoke. His voice was full of assurance, and he had a slight smile on his face, evidently pleased with his bold decision. It was clear that he was not going to back down from the challenge.Twenty billion dollars was the price Arthur offered in order to purchase Claudina's virginity, the Snow White Princess. Everyone was tempted by the prizes they could obtain through this auction; however, the sheer amount of money was simply outrageous! It was unthinkable to be thrown out, even for something like this."This is insane, am I hearing this correctly? Twenty billion dollars? That's just unbelievable!""I can't believe someone would be willing to pay that kind of money for Ms. Claudina's virginity. It's absolutely outrageous. He must have gone mad!"Moreover, Arthur strongly believed that one's virginity should not be treated as a commodity. He felt that it should be cherished and safeguarded, not bartered or so
"Are you kidding me?" Aston yelled in rage, his face reddening as he whirled to face his men, their expressions betraying their irritation at Arthur's offers. "There's no way I'm going to allow anyone to betray me!" No one in the room could remain unaffected by Arthur's offer of one hundred million dollars for the gun. The amount was equivalent to their salaries for decades, prompting them to exchange glances as the offer strongly tempted them. Aston stepped up to one of his men, delivering a harsh slap to the back of the head. "Are you out of your mind? Are you trying to betray me for a handful of coins? Do you really think you can turn on me and get away with it?" He glared at Arthur, rage burning in his eyes. He could feel the heat of his anger rising, yet Arthur remained seated in his chair, seemingly unbothered. "Do you honestly believe that money can buy their loyalty? Do you seriously think you can leave this place unscathed?" Rising from his chair, Arthur's sudden movement
Arthur felt as if the knowledge of how to use the handgun had been instantly embedded into his nerves, like muscle memory. He was immediately familiar with the cold, metallic surface of his handgun. "It's so smooth," he whispered to himself. Arthur spun around, his enhanced vision, memory, and intelligence allowing him to identify and quickly commit to memory the exact positions of the 26 lights distributed throughout the room. With ease, he imprinted the locations in his mind. Arthur confidently wielded two handguns in each hand, while the others he tucked securely into his waistband and jacket. His impressive dexterity and agility allowed him to easily spin the two handguns around his finger. With a firm grip on the trigger, Arthur pointed the gun at Aston and pulled it back. He heard the loud bang of the gunshot that echoed through the air and felt a strange sense of normalcy, despite it being the first time he had ever fired a gun. The bullet whizzed past Aston's ear, narrowly
