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.
