“One hundred and eighty million!”

Mia Ashworth listened to the escalating bids with a slight sigh of relief. Thankfully, she came

well–prepared this time. Otherwise, facing this pack of wolves, she couldn’t have secured the Tears

of the Rose. Her grip tightened around the bidding paddle, and then, with a firm yet unassertive

tone, she declared. “Three hundred million!”

Instantly, all eyes in the room turned towards Mia Ashworth, shocked by her audacious billion–dollar

increase.

She feared someone might further escalate the bidding. Her worries materialized when a middle–aged

man raised his paddle, his voice booming with authoritative command, “Three hundred and fifty

million.”

Mia bit her lip, refusing to back down, “Four hundred million!”

Those who had contemplated vying for the Tears of the Rose shook their heads in resignation as the price soared to four hundred million, with no signs of stopping. They turned their heads, now keenly interested in the bidding war between Mia Ashworth and the middle–aged man.

The crowd gasped. Each increment of fifty million was staggering. Clearly, this was a game for those with substantial wealth and resolve.
