INFINITE MONEY - I Will Buy Everything

"So the bid for the Dragon Scroll will commence in one moment."

"I again warn you that if you want the item then you would have to be fast. Oh! And no cheating. This establishment doesn't harbor things like that for your information."

"So if someone cheats over here, believe me when I say that we would know. What happens to the cheater that I don't but the last person final moments were not that much fun so don't do something you would regret very much."

His words of caution didn't bring any fear to the crowd, they were from rich families and houses that uphold honor and such things so they would definitely not do something as cheating in an auction house having fame for their security and catching the biggest of thieves.

Nigel then smiled as he said, "The bid for the Dragon Art Scroll begins… NOW!"

As soon as his words came it went like fire as all the hands in the auction hall went up again this time. But Nigel too was prepared as he used the green counter to see the first person to get his hands up.

"Table 34 for 250 Million Dollars." But Nigel was not finished as he started to stack the bids one by one as the hands were coming up and down in a fast piston motion.

"Table 21 for 260 Million Dollars."

"Table 28 for 270 Million Dollars."

"Table 86 for 280 Million Dollars."

"Table 38 for 290 Million Dollars."

"Table 32 for 300 Million Dollars."

Like that the bid only went up and up until Carl saw it go up to the point of 800 Million Dollars. And it seemed like the bid was at its end with the crowd now losing interest in it because of the high price.

Now only three people were interested in the item. Table 43, Table 57 and Table 35.

Nigel voice rang out through the auction hall which was edible for all to hear.

"Table 43 for 810 Million Dollars."

"Table 35 for 820 Million Dollars, is this it or is there going to be another be-" Nigel couldn't finish his sentence as someone again put up their hands.

"Oh it's Table 57 again with the bid of 830 Million Dollars."

And a few bids past before this happened.

"Table 43 for 860 Million Dollars."

"Table 57 for 870 Million Dollars."

"Again Table 43 fo-" Nigel stopped as he saw that Table 43 weren't raising their number so he straightened himself slightly and asked.

"Is this it? Does Table 43 not want to bid anymore?"

Table 43 shook their heads as they didn't want to waste that much capital on it.

"Alright then, Its Table 57 for 870 Million Dollars, is this it or is there anyone else who wants to bid more, anyone… Alright then."

"Going Once… Going Twice… Going Th-"

Nigel stopped counting as he saw a hand go up. He looked at the hand and smiled mischievously as he said, "Table 11 for 880 Million Dollars."

Hearing his words the people gasped in the auction hall as they looked at the right side of the hall on the second floor. There was a light being beeped on the first room of the second floor.

The crowd gasped slightly this time as they gossiped among themselves and thought about many things among the second floor residence.

"Did a great house member finally have interest in an item?"

"Wow to think that they would start with high amount as 880 Million Dollars, God knows I don't have that much money on me."

"But why would they start at the very end if they were interested in it? Did they get interested after seeing so many people fight for it?"

"Idiot! Of Course they would start at the end, Why would someone powerful and rich from a great house bid at the start. They can just wait for the competition to lower itself before launching their final attack."

"Wow! Indeed clever like a great house members are claim to be. They waited for the perfect moment when the people were cut off and then strikes at the opportune moments."

"But I wonder will Table 57 be able to handle it?"

The aforementioned Table 57 were in a panic as they looked at the second floor where a white light was beeping on and off. The family head looked at the light in anger and thought.

'F*ck! That bastards waited until the end before that person bid.'

'What is so great about a Great House Heh. Those people are the same as us and might even be worse if they are willing to do such a despicable task.'

'Now with them on the bid too, should I stop or push forward?'

The guy thought before looking towards the Dragon Arts Scroll and made a decision.

'Yes! I'm going to fight on. I am not going to let some fcking bastad just come in and take what I have been clearly fighting gravelly for a fck ton time.'

The family head in Table 57 raised his table number in anger.

"OH! Table 57 still hasn't given up as they just bid for the scroll again."

The crowd gasped again as the family head of table 57 smiled as he looked at the scroll in great envy.

"Does anyone else want to bid or is it over again?" Nigel asked everyone but he was looking at only one place.

That place didn't answer or show any signs as Nigel waited for a moment before saying.

"Going once… Go-"

A Deep and Inaudible voice came as it startled everyone in hall.

"Ten Billion Dollars"

The voice said as its heavy motion stayed for a moment before fading into the wind.

The crowd didn't understand what just happened and before long they widened their eyes as they remembered what number the voice said a while ago.

Nigel too was confused before he quickly collected himself as he said loudly to everyone.

"Room 11 for 10 Billion Dollars." Nigel said and looked at Table 57 or more specifically towards the family head.

The family head on the end was sweating buckets as he saw everyone looking at him and he thought about the huge price as well.

He clenched his teeth's in anger as he didn't know what to do. The pressure from the crowd and the huge amount was getting to him.

After a long moment of silence which Nigel didn't prevent as they all wanted to see his reaction too. William and his entourage were also interested in it as some of the employees started to bet that he would continue and that he would give up.

"Boss, What do you want to bet? The guy continuing or him giving up?"

"What's more popular?"

"The popular one is him giving up, Boss you should also bet on continuing. I am also on that side too."

William looked towards the screen before he shook his head and said.

"No point in betting someone who has already given up."

The family head finally made a decision as he looked up. Nigel looked at that face and understood what it meant as he said.

"Going Once… Going Twice… Going Thrice"

'BANG'

"SOLD! To Room 11 for 10 Billion Dollars."
