The room fell silent, with no one else raising a bid.
Just as the forty-first Hong Kong businessman's face showed a look of joy, the master of ceremonies on stage continued, "Thirty-five million three..."
"I bid thirty-eight million."
It was actually Mu Ziyu, the second young master of the Mu Family, from the VIP section.
The young master lazily raised his bid card, his voice sounding as if he had just woken up.
As soon as the Mu Family made a move, the smile on the forty-first Hong Kong businessman's face turned stiff, and the master of ceremonies' words came to an abrupt halt.
The emcee regained his composure and loudly declared, "Thirty-eight million! Is there anyone else bidding?"
"Thirty-eight million once! Thirty-eight million twice..."
"I bid forty million!!!"
The forty-first bid card was raised again.
The speaker's tone was already unsteady, even carrying a sharpness that made people uncomfortable.
