Of course, Marie would be happy if Wilbur could buy the antiques and bring them back to Dasha in the end.


    Realistically, however, she also suspected whether or not he would be able to afford the expensive antiques.


    This had been an auction of mainly Dasha antiques, many of them originating from ancient dynasties. Wilbur had bid for ten out of eleven antiques, leaving many attendees in shock.


    After all, Pilsey was just a small town in Cametra. Despite the view here being excellent, there were not many rich folk living here. Wilbur bade for about twenty million dors'' worth of antiques, which was undoubtedly a huge sum to most people here.


    However, these people here did not know Wilbur''s real identity as the owner of Cape International. Twenty million dors was hardly anything to someone like him.


    Wilbur did not feel too much about spending the money on ten antiques and even wanted to keep on bidding.


    Just then, however, Marie''s butler Harold came up to Wilbur.


    The auction was still in full swing as Harold bowed to Wilbur respectfully. "Sir, could I please ask if you would be so kind as to pay the twenty million dors you have spent on the auction?"


    "This money is really important to us, sir. I hope you can understand."


    Wilbur smiled. He understood what Harold was implying with his words. After all, there had been a case of someone from Dasha bidding for many Dashan antiques before refusing to pay and causing a disruption at the auction.


    Not that that was the most terrible thing to do. Those antiques belonged to Dasha in the first ce and had ended up overseas due to some idents.


    But this was a private auction. Who knew how many hands these antiques had been passed through? In the end, the people who owned these antiques still paid to own them. Had this been an auction held by the Cametran government, Wilbur would have refused to pay a single cent.


    Since it was a private auction, it was fair enough that Wilbur paid the amount he bade for.


    "Of course I understand. Let me pay you now."


    Wilbur took out a card from his wallet, tapping it on the reader that Harold was holding out. The payment went through, which Harold confirmed on his phone before thanking Wilbur profusely and retreating to the private room.


    "How did it go?" asked Marie. "Was he able to pay?"


    Harold bowed politely. "Yes, Madam. The gentleman has paid the full amount of twenty million dors."


    Marie nced at Wilbur through the window once more. "A gentleman, indeed." "Which reminds me. How many items have we prepared for this auction, Harold?" "We have thirty-six items altogether. Twenty of them are antiques from Dasha." "Alright, I understand. You may leave now."


    "Yes, Madam."


    Harold exited the room and returned to the club, watching over the auction as it continued on.


    Wilbur bade for all twenty Dashan items that were put up for auction. A total of thirty items had been auctioned off by now, and they were down to thest six.


    The remaining six items consisted of two mid-century oil paintings, a golden dagger, two suits of armor, and a single ck rock.


    Wilbur passed on the oil paintings, not bidding for them at all. He searched through the golden dagger and the two sets of armor and found that there was a bit of spiritual energy hidden in them. Upon discovering this, he bought all three items.


    Thest item up for auction was arge ck rock weighing almost a hundred kilograms. Three staff members carried it onstage, setting it down on the disy podium.


    The emcee said, "Take a look at the star of tonight''s auction,dies and gentlemen! Would any of you like to guess what kind of a rock this is, and where ites from?"


    "It''s a jade rock, so it should be from a mine."
