Soon all entered the auction hall. While other arts were ranked based on scores and liking, Painting was on the bids. Aria had heard some artists creating fake buyers to increase the price so she wasn't sure how Rian's paint bidding would be.
Seeing Aria holding the buyer number card, Alan curiously asked, "Are you bidding for anything?"
Aria hummed and tried to scare him, "I will help all the artist's paintings price to reach high. Don't worry, I will not waste my money. I will use your money to buy everything."
"Let me see how you can squander my money." Alan knew she wouldn't do that. He thought she might bid to raise Rian's painting price.
The auction soon started. Many bids to their favorite paintings. The highest grossed painting title was 'Caged' by an artist Roxy Stephen which was eight hundred thousand.
