"The Ghost Flower mostly grows at altitudes from 800 to 3000 ters. Its habits are unique, only suitable for the specific cool and humid climate environnt between mountain forests. The dical test special fungi can survive, and its seeds are extrely small, almost impossible to germinate under artificial conditions..."
After Holly Houston recited the encyclopedia entry about the Ghost Flower, she announced: "Starting bid two million."
As soon as she finished speaking, Justin Callahan imdiately raised his sign: "Two million five hundred thousand."
Justin Callahan thought that only dical experts knew the dicinal value of the Ghost Flower.
But today, those attending the auction were all rchants, completely unaware of the preciousness of the Ghost Flower.
So he estimated that he would secure this Ghost Flower within five million.
Yet, unexpectedly, just after he raised his sign, July Quinn suddenly followed suit: "Five million."
Justin Callahan’s expression changed slightly, unhappily glancing at July Quinn.
Because July Quinn instantly raised the price to the limit he had estimated.
Despite this, he raised his sign again: "Six million."
Giving this Ghost Flower to his sister should make her very happy.
Even if it costs an extra million, it’s worth it.
However, just after he raised the bid, July Quinn followed with: "Eight million."
Justin Callahan was unwilling to give up and continued bidding: "Nine million."
July Quinn: "Ten million."
"Eleven million."
"Twenty million."
"... "
The auction for this Ghost Flower seed to have beco a bidding war between Justin Callahan and July Quinn.
In the blink of an eye, July Quinn had raised the price to ninety million.
The other bidders were sowhat dumbfounded, unable to understand how a flower could reach such a high price.
Justin Callahan looked at July Quinn with eyes almost blazing with fire.
It was already at ninety million, the price had far exceeded his budget.
Whether he won or lost the bid, he felt resentful and unsettled.
So he couldn’t help but shout at July Quinn: "Can’t you stop ssing around? You don’t even know what this flower can do, there’s no need to disrupt the bidding war unnecessarily!"
Indeed, in his eyes, July Quinn surely didn’t understand the dicinal value of this Ghost Flower.
As for why July Quinn was participating in the auction, it must be because of the prior conflict.
However, unexpectedly, July Quinn only gave him a cold glance.
"Who do you think you are, worth raising my bid just to spite you in front of my husband?"
Justin Callahan: "..."
He suspected July Quinn was in so way criticizing him, and he had proof.
At this point, Holly Houston’s voice sounded once more: "Ninety million, second ti!"
Justin Callahan gnashed his teeth while July Quinn casually threw out a comnt.
"If you can’t afford to play, then don’t play. If you can’t raise the bid, then don’t whine and complain."
Justin Callahan, who originally intended to raise his sign again, suddenly felt both infuriated and ashad, tossing his sign onto the table.
"Fine, I want to see if you can fork out ninety million, let’s see if you can handle it!"
Indeed, in Justin Callahan’s eyes, July Quinn and Kyle Keaton were workers.
Even if the company offered good benefits, they surely wouldn’t fork out ninety million for a herb with no use to them.
He thought that once he suddenly gave up on the bidding, July Quinn would surely be flustered, unsure how to end it.
After all, tonight’s auction was live broadcast. If she couldn’t pay, it would not only be embarrassing on the scene but also nationwide.
And considering July Quinn’s already high profile, failing to pay would surely make it onto the trending topic list.
But in reality, July Quinn rely said expressionlessly: "Congratulations."
Justin Callahan: "..."
At this mont, Holly Houston also announced: "Ninety million, third ti, congratulations Miss Quinn."
Holly Houston was visibly pleased but was actually waiting to see July Quinn unable to pay and make a fool of herself.
Of course, if July Quinn changed her mind temporarily and joined her Competition Dance program, she could also consider paying the ninety million for July Quinn.
But in the end, July Quinn calmly went backstage, settled the bill, and took the Ghost Flower.
The farce they anticipated never unfolded.
But when she returned to her seat, she seed a bit sullen.
Kyle Keaton noticed and couldn’t help but ask her: "What’s wrong?"
Though Justin Callahan and Nina Quinn had no visible reaction, they were all ears, hoping to find so comfort in July Quinn’s words.
