"Wait a minute, you want it too?" Christopher frowned.
"Yes, but it's just that my son likes it. I'm willing to part with it." Amelia replied.
Soon, the Mermaid's Tear was taken to the stage. Its starting price was $750,000.
Christopher whispered to Rob, letting him call for a price.
"$750,000."
"$800,000!" someone shouted.
"$900,000," Rob called again.
"1 million!"
"1.1 million."
Suddenly, a man's voice was heard. "I bid 1.5 million."
The voice was a little familiar. Rob looked back and found Benjamin. He seemed to have just entered the field. He shouted the price even before sitting down.
Obviously, he had been planning to bid for it all along.
Rob became worried and looked at Christopher.
"2 million," Christopher called without an expression.
The price rose to 2 million within a matter of seconds, everyone was shocked.
Benjamin sat down and listened to the exclamations from the crowd. He curled his lips and then shouted, "2.5 million!"
