Although this Faulkner Inkstone was an antique, one used by the great writer and poet Dongpo Sullivan, at its core, it was still just an inkstone! A single inkstone, and the bidding had soared past forty million!
Heavens!
Have these people all gone mad? Is their money just paper to them? You can't spend this much, even for an antique!
A clash between the Hale Family and the Sterling Family!
Now things were getting interesting! The Hale and Sterling families were both titans in Aethelgard, but since their business interests didn't overlap, no one had ever really compared the two. Who would have thought that while they'd never seen the two powerhouses clash in the boardroom, they'd get to see them duel in the auction house!
The auction continued. The bidding continued. The competition continued.
"Fifty-six million!" Though Walter Sterling still looked all smiles, his eyes flashed with a grave light.
