The Mice and the Trap
That night, the events from the auction circulated in high society circles. The talk of one old rock rising to a price of a hundred billion shocked many. With the legendary families fighting over it, the topic became a hot mess.
"Have they gone mad? No matter how precious that rock is, it's too wasteful to spend it all for that thing."
"The way I see it, they just had too much money to spare."
"I think it's because of their pride. What if it's a sign of the undercurrents between the legendary families?"
"You mean, they are not really after that stone, but because they wanted to win over the other families?"
"Who knows, perhaps yes, perhaps not. I feel regretful that I was not there to see it. It must have been a spectacle."
Everyone talked about it. Those who have no luck to attend the big event envied those who could. They also wanted to witness the insane battle of financial power of the century!
