Bang!
The auctioneer hit the hammer excitedly and announced, “The mister at Table No.12 offered a bid price
of twenty million. This old precious sword is indeed fascinating!”
“Damn it!” Seated at Table No.2, Yuna gnashed her teeth hatefully.
Charlie gulped and said, “Keep calm, Yuna!”
At Table No.12, Jonah drew close to Moira and whispered, “Moira, what exactly does your niece’s
father do? He offered a price of twenty million without even hesitating!”
Moira, who was equally stirred up, took a deep breath and shot a cold glance at Jonah. “Firstly, please
stop addressing me by my first name. Secondly, he’s not Heidi’s father.”
“Moira… I admit that I was wrong just now, but you have to understand that Yuna is…” Jonah wore a
bitter expression.
Moira stared at him with a disappointed yet sarcastic look. “Why are you still sitting here then? Aren’t
you afraid to implicate your family?”

I can’t possibly tell her I made a bet that this man seated at the same table as us has the confidence
and power to intimidate Yuna, or even the entire Fest family.
Meanwhile, Jacob was not bothered by the dispute between his cousin-in-law and the guy who seemed
like her boyfriend. After indicating a price of twenty million, Jacob ignored the gazes and discussions
from the other guests and focused on feeding his daughter fruits.
As time passed, most of the guests shifted their gazes to Yuna as they were eager to find out whether
the young lady of the Fest family would offer a higher price, and if she did, would the mysterious young
man at Table No.12 offer an even higher price.
Perceiving the gazes of the others, especially the intent stares from the old foxes at Table No.1, even
the usually haughty Yuna could feel her heartbeat accelerating as her palms were coated with a layer
of perspiration.
Truth be told, twenty million wasn’t a big sum for the Fest family, but if she offered a higher price just to
work off her feelings, it wouldn’t be a matter of money but her egoism.
After pondering for a moment, Yuna heaved a sigh as the crowd continued staring at her. At the same
time, her domineering aura was diminished.
This is humiliating!
She forced herself to remain cool on the surface, but deep down, she was burning with rage and
embarrassment.
Damn it! How dare this guy shame me in front of such a huge crowd?! I’m not done with him yet!
Simon shook his head apathetically at Table No.3. Yuna Fest, I didn’t expect you to back out at this
crucial moment. This is disappointing!
On the other hand, Benny, who was seated at Table No.1, retracted his gaze from his daughter and
raised his right hand slowly after nodding. “Thirty million.” He said nonchalantly.
What?! This is unbelievable! I must be hearing things!
Most of the guests were dumbfounded.

What’s wrong with the richest man in Paramount? Not only is his daughter acting recklessly, but even
someone reputable like him is jumping on the bandwagon.
Wait a minute, this is not an act of impulse.
Moments later, some of the guests understood the situation. It didn’t matter if Yuna was ashamed, but
the Fest family couldn’t be ashamed!
The auctioneer on the stage too was flabbergasted.
Never had he thought that someone would offer a whopping thirty million just for a one-thousand-year-
old antique sword. Not only that, the buyer who offered the price was none other than the organizer of
this charity auction!
Willow, who was seated at the same table as Benny, gazed at him with a frown.
Narrowing her eyes, she asked nonchalantly, “Do you mean it, President Fest? Are you aware of who
you’re competing against?”
“What do you mean, President Milgrim? I just suddenly found favor in that ancient sword, so I’d like to
bring it home.” Benny lifted his brows with a slightly surprised countenance.
Ha! What a poser! The other big bosses seated at the same table sneered inwardly.
