131 The Auction (4)

"100 million platinum coins...?!? Madness!!!"

"Preposterous! First this mad Duke Moron... Then the challenger who dares to go head to head for an overpriced item... And now Duke Moron once more increasing the quantum of his waste???"

"Hahaha! What a good show... Even if we don't end up getting the items we want, at least we got a good show! Hahaha!"

A wide range of reactions erupted from the on-lookers who were discreet enough not to give away their identities or their locations - though their not-so-whispering voices were still distinctly audible!

Duke Moron had been huffing and puffing in shame and was now settling himself down. At the same time, Host Aquino himself was also shaken by the nonsensical bids he had to call out.

It was not an issue of high amounts... Aquino had presided over auctions for items with pricetags and bids nearly a hundred times higher!
