Chapter 78 - Nothing Is More Important (1/2)
”One hundred million euros.” Adam's strong voice resonated throughout the quiet hall. Everyone turned their heads around to see who was the man who had just doubled the amount in the first bid.
Realizing that the person was none other Adam Levinson, people started whispering among themselves.
”One hundred and twenty million euros.” A female voice rang through the hall, making people turn their heads towards her.
”One hundred and thirty million euros.” A man in his early forties raise the bid, the woman next to him, who seemed to be in her early thirties was brimming with glee as she held her chin up in the air with pride.
”One hundred and fifty million euros.” The female raise the bid again.
”Two hundred million euros.” A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, sitting at the table next to Adam, raise the bid.
Seeing that there was no placards in the air, the MC started the countdown.
”Two hundred million euros going once.”
”Two hundred million going twice.”
”Do I hear any more bids?” He asked before making the final call.
Adam had enough of these pests trying to get their hands on something that rightfully belonged to his little elf. He raised his placard in the air.
Seeing it, Stella gripped his other hand that was under the table. She was shaking her head sideways, asking him not to raise the bid. But how could he let others even hold what belonged to her.
”Two hundred million going....” The MC was about to strike the wooden hammer on its pad. But before he could, a clear deep voice resonated throughout the quiet hall, making people suck in air into their lungs.
”Five hundred million euros.” Adam spoke up giving Stella a soft smile. It disappeared before everyone turned to look in their direction.
The MC was shocked for a while, but soon regained his composure and started the countdown.
”Five hundred million euros going once.”
”Five hundred million going twice.”
”Five hundred million going thrice.” He called out, striking the hammer on its pad. Just as he did, a loud thundering applause broke the silence of the hall.
Adam politely nodded at the MC and the people around them.
