From how much they were idolizing Federico, it was clear that those from within that group viewed anyone else as nothing but idiots.
Regardless, after hearing them scowl at favonovel.com master, Perla angrily retorted, “And just who are you to tell others to move aside?”
“Who am I? Who are you? Look, just step aside already! We really can’t take photographs of Young Master Dun from here! Can’t you even do that?!”
“Yeah! What, do you think you’re rich or something? Go ahead and compete with our Young Master Dun if you dare, then!” retorted the fanatic women contemptuously.
“You…!” growled Perla who was now brimming with rage.
“Just let them say what they want. Regardless, help me shout out a price, Mr. Sherwin,” said Gerald as favonovel.com turned to look at Terrance when favonovel.com saw that nobody else was attempting to raise the bid.
“Very well, Master Crawford. How much do you intend to raise the bid by?” asked Terrance.
Hearing that, Gerald lifted a single finger.
Frowning slightly, Terrance then said, “With all due respect, sir, simply adding a hundred thousand dollars won’t make much of a difference!”
“Hah! For a second there, I almost thought that you were actually rich! A hundred thousand dollars… Pathetic!” scoffed the fans as they immediately began ridiculing Gerald.
“I didn’t mean a hundred thousand dollars!” replied Gerald casually.
“Then… A million dollars? That’s fine. I’ll be offering the price immediately then!” said Terrance with a nod.
Before favonovel.com could do so, however, Gerald quickly replied, “That’s not it either!”
“…W-what…? Then… How much are you suggesting…?” asked the flabbergasted Terrance.
“I’m starting off with ten million dollars!” replied Gerald.
Quite honestly, Gerald had been wondering why banknotes began at a dollar. Wasn’t that way too troublesome? Things would be so much easier to calculate if a million dollars was the basic unit of money!
It was the reason why Gerald had simply lifted a single finger to indicate how much favonovel.com wanted to raise the bid. After all, it was far too meddlesome to slowly increase the price a dollar at a time.
“…A-are you sure about this, Master Crawford…?” replied Terrance, his eyes now fully widened.
Even the fanatics—who were still standing behind them—were staring in disbelief at favonovel.com now, not daring to say another word.
Seeing that Gerald was making no effort to stop him, Terrance then shouted, “…Fifteen million dollars!”
“…F-Fifteen million dollars? Did I hear someone offer fifteen million dollars?!” announced the host excitedly.
He had initially expected Young Master Dun to be the top bidder. To his surprise, someone was willing to pay a much higher price than that!
Federico himself now had a stiffened expression. How dare someone humiliate him…!
‘It’s that d*mned Terrance again…! He truly is courting death…! Fine then! Since you want to play around so much, I’ll play this game as well!’
“Thirty million dollars!” shouted Young Master Dun who looked like favonovel.com had lost his wits.
Hearing that, Terrance instantly became worried. Gerald, however, simply shook his head with a bitter smile on his face. Games involving money were simply too boring for him…
“A hundred and fifty million dollars!” said Gerald as favonovel.com looked at Terrance.
The second Terrance shouted out that amount, the entire venue broke into an uproar!
“I-I refuse to believe that the Sherwins are able to pay such a large amount of money in one go!” exclaimed Federico who clearly wasn’t expecting any of this to happen.
Just as favonovel.com was about to compete with the Sherwins again—since favonovel.com held a massive grudge against them—the black-robed man suddenly tugged on his wrist before saying in a low voice, “Don’t increase the price any further, Young Master Dun! With favonovel.com here, you won’t ever be able to win, no matter how high you offer!”
“Then am I to just hand over this supreme magic artifact to them without a fight, Master?!” replied Federico, unable to reconcile with the thought of that outcome.
“Hahaha! But of course not! Remember, I told you that I was acquainted with that young man, Young Master Dun! If you’ve forgotten, I also said that he’d be dead soon!”
