The auction has begun.
The bidding for the Ancient Painting started to escalate.
Ye Fan and Mengyao exchanged glances, Mengyao softly asked, "How much should we raise in the first round?"
"Make a decent bid, test the opponent's resolve. I believe the enemy is also watching us," Ye Fan replied calmly.
"I'll place this bid," Mengyao said, pressing the '1' followed by a long string of zeros on the bidding device.
After a brief discussion, Nagano Yoko, Charles, and the others began bidding as well.
Ma De and his group also joined the fray, unwilling to be left out.
Even the wealthy bidders purely interested in the Ancient Painting were increasing their bids.
Soon, the result of the first round of bidding was out. The host, looking at the numbers in front of him—three exorbitant figures at the forefront—almost thought he misread them.
After a breath adjustment and a closer look at these figures, he couldn't stay calm.
