"Wow, it's going to be tomorrow!" Sebastian cheered. "However, I'm pretty sure that they're selling items worth over $2 million, whereas I don't have that many God Points to convert."After pondering for a moment, Sebastian realized that he needed to find a way to accumulate more God Points quickly. He knew that he had great potential to obtain valuable items in this auction event, and he did not want to miss this golden opportunity just because of the limitations of the heavenly currency.Gritting his teeth, Sebastian decided to confront Mia. In an instant, Mia appeared in front of him with her usual friendly face."Mia," Sebastian said in a serious voice, "I have a plan, but I need more God Points. Can you lend me five million God Points?"Mia listened to Sebastian's request with a rather flat gaze as if contemplating the request. She was a small-sized elf who had been Sebastian's servant since the beginning of his adventure, but she had a strong and independent personality.Suddenl
Sebastian chose the Mercedes-Benz-S-Class that he kept in his villa as the vehicle to drive himself to the auction.He didn't want to be too conspicuous in tonight's auction, so he deliberately chose a car that was popular among the upper class. Many other auction guests owned Mercedes-Benz-S-Class, so it wouldn't attract too much attention.They both got into the car, with Sebastian sitting in the driver's seat and Rachel in the passenger seat. Before starting the journey, Sebastian made sure everything was in good condition, and then he started the car's engine gently.As the car moved through the picturesque streets towards the Hidden Relics House, Sebastian and Rachel chatted about their plans for the evening. Sebastian described some of the antiques he was targeting at the auction, and Rachel gave her valuable insight into some of the collectors who would be attending.Sebastian and Rachel arrived at the Hidden Relics House quietly, following the flow of their conversation throu
"This is a ticket for the VVIP room, Mr. Cole. Please accept it." Tony handed the ticket to Sebastian.However, he didn't accept it immediately."How many people get VVIP tickets?" Sebastian asked in anticipation."Only one, and that's you," Tony replied politely."That would make me the center of attention, wouldn't it?"Tony explained, "During the auction, there are some items that are only auctioned to VIP guests. But right now, the room for VIP guests is full, so I can only give you the VVIP room."Unconvinced of getting good items in the cheap class, Sebastian finally accepted the ticket."Tony, I still don't want my identity to be revealed there, so I'm asking if you have a mask for me to wear?""I have it, please wait a moment." Tony immediately walked quickly to a room.Shortly after, Tony returned with a black-and-gold dance mask."Use this, Mr. Cole. Your identity will not be known."Sebastian smiled with satisfaction. "So, are you also going to the auction?"Tony shook his
In his room, Sebastian found a bottle of Château Margaux wine.Frowning, Sebastian knew that it was one of the most expensive and rare wines in the world.He never expected that the hosts of the auction would provide this kind of wine for their VVIP guests.Was it not too much?Château Margaux's 1787 wine has a long history and a great age. It was produced in 1787, making it a very old and rare wine. Such a mature age gives this wine unique characteristics, with aromas and flavors that continue to evolve over the years.One of the reasons why Château Margaux 1787 is so expensive is because of its guaranteed authenticity and provenance. As one of the most historic wines in the world, each bottle must have strong, traceable documentation to ensure that it is an authentic wine from that year.This wine is a rare example that is still in good condition and very well preserved. Proper storage conditions for over two centuries helped maintain the quality and value of this wine.Château Marg
Because Sebastian didn't even bid when Mark started on the third item, Sebastian's two beautiful waitresses began to fret.They would get a bonus of a dozen percent of the price of the items sold if they managed to get their guests to buy something.Therefore, Emberly ventured to talk to Sebastian."Sir, do you feel bad about this auction? We're very worried that you might not be comfortable."Sebastian provoked, "Why would you think that?"Kimber replied, "Sir, I apologize, but you have not submitted a bid even after the auction entered the third largest item."Sebastian smiled sarcastically, then with a cold demeanor he replied that he still hadn't seen any items that had a high value until now, so he wasn't interested in bidding. Hearing that, Emberly and Kimber were quite surprised. They didn't know who the masked man in cheap clothes in front of them was, but it didn't seem like he had any knowledge of antiques!Emberly tried to provoke further, "Sir, perhaps you just haven't see
Zhang Daqian's long-disappeared painting was sure to electrify the entire audience at this auction event."Didn't I hear it wrong? How did Hidden Relics House sell their Zhang Daqian's disappearing painting? This news will make the whole world shocked!"Some VIP guests did not even hesitate to show their surprise. They praised the Hidden Relics House for finding this painting and deciding to auction it off. However, whispers began to be heard from the guests who had doubts about the authenticity of the painting."You heard it too, didn't you?" a female guest whispered to her friend sitting next to her. "Zhang Daqian's lost painting is going up for auction. Are you sure this isn't just a marketing trick?"Her friend, who seemed to believe the news more, replied with a skeptical tone, "Who knows? It might just be true. Hidden Relics House has a strong reputation for acquiring rare antiques."Elsewhere, a group of male VIP guests seemed to be discussing quietly. Their voices were low and
Ethan didn't want to lose the fake painting, so he immediately bid the high price without mincing words."One hundred million!"When Ethan made a sound, all the guests fell silent, making the hall completely deserted. The price he offered was huge and seemed shocking, even to those who were used to big numbers in the auction world.Some of the other guests could only swallow their bitterness in smiles. The price of the painting had skyrocketed, beyond the limit of what they were prepared to pay. They felt that this painting had been too expensive for them, and they reluctantly admitted defeat in their quest to acquire it.Ethan, however, was not going to be happy if someone else tried to snatch the thing he loved. And so, even though the price was very high, the atmosphere remained tense as no one wanted to compete further with Ethan.However, the tense atmosphere was broken by a loud voice coming from a senior guest in one corner of the room. "Wait a minute!" he exclaimed, drawing eve
No one was bidding anymore. The tension in the room grew as Mark raised his auction gavel. He raised the gavel decisively and counted down to three. Everyone's breath was held as the gavel finally came down, producing a clang to signal that the bidding was closed.In a steady voice, Mark announced, "With the final bid from Mr. Ethan, this painting is officially his for 150 million dollars."Ethan smiled widely, feeling such a sweet victory. However, his gaze also shifted to Amelia, paying homage to the love and courage she had shown. He turned towards Mark, looking at him appreciatively.Mark raised his auction hammer, finishing the auction that had brought so many emotions. He clenched his fist and excitedly uttered, "Congratulations, Mr. Ethan! You managed to take home the main item in this auction."As is tradition when someone wins the main item, all the guests applauded loudly. The applause echoed throughout the room, even though not all of them had a deep respect for Ethan. But
