An Understated Dominance - Chapter 374

“Don’t believe me? Let’s see what happens!” The woman in the baseball cap frowned, but Dustin and Roderick just smiled back at her.

As the auction went on, it was almost time to reveal the last few prized items. Among them was the much-anticipated thousand-year green lotus that everyone wanted.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the next item up for auction is an extremely rare herb that has thrived for a thousand years. This is the thousand-year green lotus!” the auctioneer announced.

With a flourish, he signaled for a wooden box to be brought forward. When it opened, a stunning, translucent green lotus appeared. Its petals were a vibrant green, while its core glowed a bright gold. It looked like a perfect piece of art, captivating everyone in the room. Under the lights, its colors sparkled beautifully. It was truly breathtaking.

“This really is the thousand-year green lotus! I’m definitely taking this home!” The woman’s eyes lit up with excitement, and the other bidders looked just as thrilled.

“Now that you’ve seen this precious item, I’m sure you understand its value. The starting bid for the thousand-year green lotus is 100 million, with minimum increases of 5 million. Let’s begin!”

As soon as the auctioneer announced the start of the bidding, the room buzzed with excitement.

“120 million!”

“130 million!”

“No one is going to stop me! 150 million here!”

Bids flew back and forth as more wealthy individuals joined in, all eager to win. They were ready to spend big because this was not just any auction; it was a chance to own something truly extraordinary.

Everyone knew that the thousand-year green lotus was incredibly valuable. Whoever won the auction could sell it for a huge profit.

In a world full of wealth, rare herbs that could extend life were highly sought after, especially by older rich men. They would risk everything they had to get their hands on them.

“500 million!” shouted a man in a long-sleeved shirt, raising his paddle. His strong voice echoed in the room, silencing the crowd.

“This thousand-year green lotus belongs to the Stoneray Order. Don’t even think about taking it from me!” He scanned the room with a fierce look.

Those who met his gaze quickly looked down, afraid to challenge him. Not many would dare to upset the Stoneray Order, the most powerful group in Millsburg. Even though the lotus was a priceless treasure, it was not worth risking their lives or fortunes.

“Is the Stoneray Order really that powerful? I’m bidding 800 million!” A woman in a baseball cap suddenly raised her paddle, her bold attitude showing she didn’t care for the order’s reputation.

The man’s face darkened. “You little brat! Who do you think you are? How dare you challenge the Stoneray Order!”

“My name is Jayla Grant. I’m Tyler Grant’s sister!” she replied calmly.
