Chapter 989 One Hundred Million

The second item was quickly sold for a hundred thousand. Immediately after, the third item was carted out.

From Marcus’ brief introduction, the item was revealed to be a blue amber necklace, the work of a jewelry designer who was another alumnus of Jadeborough University.

Made from the sap of a tree and forged by the heat and pressure of the earth’s core over tens of millions of years, regular ambers were precious enough. Translucent and emitting a faint glow seemingly on its own, the mystique and beauty of the blue amber necklace on stage made other jewels look barely more impressive than cobblestones by comparison.

There was a single black rose petal encased in the amber.

The lucky wearer of the necklace would undoubtedly attract attention wherever they went.
