The tray was covered with a piece of silk fabric, displaying six nuts de cuerno that were the size of meatballs.

The color, texture, and patina were top-notch.

The host made an impassioned introduction of the nuts before opening for bids.

The bid started at five million dollars with increments going for at least five hundred thousand dollars.

Taking Skylar’s instruction, Yulia raised her bidding card and shouted.

“Six million five hundred thousand!”

A middle-aged man in the back named his price.

Another voice echoed, “Ten million!”
