"Alright, thank you, Miss Qiao," the auctioneer said, holding a small gavel. "Next, let's begin the auction for the necklace brought by Miss Qiao Qianmo, the Heart of the Sea. Starting price: 500,000!"
Qiao Qianmo walked back upright, her chin held high, as she heard the crowd below eagerly waving their paddles.
"Six hundred thousand!"
"Eight hundred thousand!"
"I'll bid 1.2 million!"
Qiao Qianmo's momentum kept climbing—
It was worth noting that the previous items had only sold for tens of thousands at most.
And as for Qiao Qianmo?
In just a matter of seconds, someone had already offered over a million!
And it seemed like the bidding wasn't going to stop anytime soon.
On the contrary, it kept escalating.
"Five million once, five million twice—" the auctioneer stood on stage, his gavel poised to strike, "for the Heart of the Sea brought by Miss Qiao Qianmo. Any higher offers?"
The spectators who hadn't joined the bidding were clicking their tongues.
