hapter 267 Chapter 267


    George keenly noticed the change in Felix''s expression. He patted Felix''s shoulder sympathetically and said, "Tough luck, Felix. Take my advice-you can''t outbid Lady N.


    Felix furrowed his brow and asked, "Is it always about money at the Golden Prime Auction?


    If it came down to cash, N might have the upper hand; someone with her status in Yartford would surely not be short on funds. Unless Gerald''s assets were unfrozen for him, Felix was unsure if Leslie''s Concord Bank''s Supreme ck Card would suffice. George exined, "Not always. Most items go for cash, but some have weird requirements. You never know until the moment arrives." With concern evident in his voice, he added, Felix, you''re not seriously thinking ofpeting with Lady N, are you?" Felix could not help but chuckle. "What''s wrong? Worried that I''ll drag you into this?" To his surprise, George shook his head. "That''s not it. It''s all fair game in auctions. Besides, Lady N isn''t petty enough to hold grudges over bidding. I just really think you should trust me on this one-going up against her is a waste of time."


    Felix remained silent and turned his attention to the stage. Regardless of who else was after the Moon''s Tear, he was determined to get it. If he missed this opportunity, it was hard to tell when or if another one would actuallye again.


    As time ticked by, the auction officially kicked off. The auctioneer took the stage, unfazed by the high-profile crowd. "Let''s get straight to it! Our first item is an authentic Bowen Truman painting, submitted by a clientst month."


    Though Felix had already gone through the auction list, seeing and hearing the items presented live still made him inwardly marvel.


    It was no wonder so many elites attended the Golden Prime Auction-starting with an original from the legendary painter was a move that would have been the grand finale at most other auction houses.


    "50 million dors!"


    "70 million dors!"


    As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, bids came in one after another. Everyone here possessed unbelievable wealth. In the end, the painting sold for a staggering 620 million dors, a sum that would make an ordinary person pass out from shock. Only by seeing it firsthand could one truly grasp the idea that any problem money could solve was not a problem at all.


    "Nothing catches your eye?" Felix asked George curiously after a few more items had been auctioned off.


    George shrugged. "Nah, I''m just here for the show. Honestly, the only thing that really interests me is women."


    Just then, the auctioneer announced the ninth item. "Next up, we have Moondust, a rare medicinal herb. I won''t go into its properties-those who need it know what it does. There''s no starting price, and there''s no bidding increments. Let''s begin." None of the items had a starting bid or increment limits. After all, the people present were influential figures, and adding such restrictions would have insulted people of this caliber.


    Felix''s attention sharpened. This was one of the two items N had expressed interest in earlier, the other being the Moon''s Tear.


    "Watch this," George whispered. "You''re about to witness Lady N''s power in action."
