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.

No one dared to outbid him for the simple reason that he was Akio Ono, Chief of Pollerton Translations. The power and influence that man had in Pollerton were beyond imagination. Outbidding someone like him essentially meant stepping on his toes, and that would be seeking death.

“Six million, going once, going twice…”

 

“Ten million,” Rupert said suddenly.

He directed a smirk at Akio. “I’m rather fond of this item. However, if Mr. Ono likes it too, I’m happy to concede.”

 

The meaning behind his words was clear – despite the wealth and power Akio held, Rupert was not intimidated by him, much unlike the others.

Akio smiled in return. “Fifteen million.”

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