Chapter 142 Doing This On Purpose

“Four million.” A potbellied man raised his paddle.

Akio did the same. “Six million.”

Just like that, the price was raised by whole two million.

Akio smiled in return. “Fifteen million.”

Rupert got the cue. “Well, I offer my congratulations then, Mr. Ono,” he said with a shrug.
