What? Did someone already offer forty-five million dollars? Goodness! The forty-five million dollars should've belonged to him! "Forty-seven million..." Someone offered a higher price...
The person who offered the price was an old man wearing a tuxedo suit with short, white hair that parted in a three-to-seven ratio.
Once this price was offered, everyone else becquiet...
Seeing that nobody was offering a higher price, Xyla looked below the stage. "Forty-seven million, going once... Forty-seven million, going twice... Forty-seven million, going thrice..." She said. "Alright. Since nobody is offering a higher price, I'd like to announce that my dinosaur fossil is sold to this old man..." Xyla added before politely extending her hand and pointing at the old man. Suddenly, there was thunderous applause.

"Forty-seven million... D*mn... That's even higher than forty-five million...
"This money should've been mine!" The stall owner began to doubt himself. He couldn't help mumbling to himself again.
Right then, he didn't want to care about anything else. All he could think about was how he had missed the forty- seven million dollars. He was so close to having it.
He had been guarding forty-seven million dollars this whole time, but he never realized it. Goodness! After the applause faded, everyone below the stage started raising their thumbs and discussing among themselves.
"Truly amazing... She bought this with 100,000 dollars and sold it for forty-seven million dollars..." "Right? She made a total profit of 46,900,000 dollars..." "Xyla is truly the luckiest person alive. If I'd known, I would have competed with Xyla for it!" Despite hearing what everyone was saying, Xyla didn't show any expression. Instead, she continued to smile as she stood on stage. She was basking in her glory.
Regardless of how strongly people were praising her, she still maintained her elegance and calmness.
Xyla was like a white peony that silently bloomed in the high mountains. She was noble, beautiful, and fairy-like. However, she didn't seem like someone an ordinary person could hope to reach. It felt as if ordinary people didn't even deserve to touch or look at her.
Soon, the old man who offered the forty-seven million bid price walked on stage...
The man walked over to Xyla and decisively handed a check worth forty-seven million dollars over to Xyla. "Thank you for being willing to sell this to me... This is something that I've always wanted..." The old man said. "I'd like to thank you too... For being willing to offer such a high price to buy it," Xyla responded politely with a smile. The old man chuckled. After that, he looked at Xyla. "Can I ask for the help of your men to move this into my car?" Xyla nodded without hesitation. "Of course." *** After putting the check away, Xyla asked a few bodyguards around her to help the old man move the dinosaur fossil to his car and the employees in the area.

After getting out of the auction house, Xyla stopped walking andn looked at Xavier. "Mr. York... I've got to go home. It's getting late..." However, Xavier chuckled. "Don't rush. Haven't you forgotten something?" Xyla suddenly remembered what it was. "Oh, you mean... Our bet?"
"Yes... I've lost. Hence, you can cwithto my antique store and choose anything you like... dust las I we agreed anything at all.." Xavier said. However, Xyla shook her head. "It's fine. To be honest, I never planned on winning anything from the bet with you..." Boom-
