The First Night Sale 

Right after Viktoria authorized the bidding, Chris Waldeaur was the first to bid.

The Duke of Linn Province had not been able to become a partner with Lothur before, as he was an enemy at the time of the first auction. But today, things were different, and he was focused on getting a slice of his city's vehicle manufacturer.

Like many there for the auction, Chris knew he would not get far alone. So he had already allied with all the local powers that did not already have shares in the Ritter Motor Company aiming for this moment.

"1.2 million!"

But the people there would not allow 1% of the Ritter Motor Company to be taken so easily.

Many were gathered in groups similar to the Duke of this province.

"1.3 million!"

"1.4 million!"

...

"2.8 million!"

In less than 1 minute, the amount more than doubled the initial asking bid, and the number of participants also fell along with it.
