“It’s okay, it’s okay!” Noir patted her shoulder lightly, then thumped his chest and confidently dered,


    “No matter what happens, I’ll take care of it for you!” Andrius rolled his eyes.


    This guy turned into a simp so quickly!


    However, at this point, Andrius did not think much about it. The auction was still ongoing after all.


    After another four or five items, it was finally time for the grand finale.


    “Ladies and gentlemen…


    The beautiful host smiled.


    Threedies gracefully approached, each holding a tray covered with a red veil that concealed the


    contents.


    Then, the host lifted the veils, revealing three boxes of identical shape and size. The only difference


    was that each box had a different number.


    “This is the highlight of this auction.” The host introduced in detail, “This is a rare medicinal herb from


    the Arbeis mountain range–the Dragon me Lotus. Due to it growing in extreme cold, it possesses


    extraordinary medicinal


    properties.


    “However, due to its extreme rarity, it will be auctioned off using the blind box format.

    “In other words, one Dragon me Lotus is in one of these three boxes while the other two boxes


    contain slightly less valuable but still considerable treasures.


    “If you want to secure it, just bid on all three boxes and you won’t go wrong. If you want to try your luck,


    bidding on one blind box gives you a one–third chance. The decision is up to your strength.”


    After exining the rules, the host surveyed the audience and continued with a smile, “The starting


    price for each blind box is two billion, and each bid must be at least fifty million. Now, let the auction


    begin!”


    As soon as she spoke, an unexpected silence filled the room.


    Everyone knew that this item would undoubtedly start a fierce bidding war. Whether they could win


    depended on their individual strengths, so no one rushed forward like before.


    Except Andrius.


    He stood up, looked across the room, and boldly dered, “I’ll buy it now. 2.1 billion!”


    His words immediately caused all the eyes in the venue to turn to him. In auctions, if one was confident


    in their strength, they could offer a ‘buy it now‘ price.


    “Hiss… Someone actually dares to offer a ‘buy it now‘ price in the Fierde Auction House. This


    Florencian is really confident!”


    “I haven’t seen anyone try that in a long time. Hopefully, it’ll make things more exciting.”


    “Damn, this is the first time I’ve seen this actually happening in an auction!”


    “This is going to be fun…”


    The crowd began to murmur and discuss. They were excited and eager to see who woulde


    forward to challenge Andrius.


    “If you want to buy it, then so do I! I bid 2.2 billion!”


    Not long after Andrius spoke, when the crowd was still buzzing, another voice echoed throughout the


    venue. The voice was confident and tinged with mockery.


    It was Richard, who hadpeted with Noir for Margerina earlier. Richard had been waiting for this


    moment for a long time.
