The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor
Chapter 163

The corners of Timothy's lips twitched repeatedly. Initially, he had assumed he would be able to win the bid at 320 million bucks. However, he did not expect...

As the price climbed up to around 400 million, it did not matter if they were Robert, Grayson, Sharon, or anyone else for that matter, they all sat down immediately and dared not make another bid because the price tag was now just too extravagant. Although they all wanted it, they were stopped in their tracks.

"500 milion!"

Once again however, Fane cracked a calm smile as he stood up and said, "My friend next to me said 500 million!"

Even the old man on the stage was incredibly excited. They were paid by commissions and a price like this was something even he had not expected.

This time, even Timothy dared not raised the price further as he sat there alone, frowning depressingly.

"500 million, going once! If no one else is adding then this pearl will go to that beautiful woman's hands!" "500 million, going twice!"

The old man was beaming on stage, just waiting for the moment to hammer down his gavel.

"Wait!"

At that moment, Timothy stood up immediately.

He looked directly at Lana then said, "I'm very curious to know who this beautiful woman might be? 500 million bucks for a single pearl isn't too huge an amount but anyone without more than 1 billion bucks i n hand wouldn't make such an offer now, right?"

"Yeah, I'm very curious too. I don't remember any wealthy women with a net worth of over 1 billion bucks in the Middle Province to be so young. You couldn't possibly offer up 500 million when you only have ten in total just to buy that pearl, right?"

Michael had also stood up immediately and said that.

"Yeah, who is that woman exactly? That's far too much money, right?"

"I also feel off about it. Furthermore, why did she wear a facemask and a pair of shades? Is she trying to not be recognized by people?"

Most of the wealthy merchants started to discuss among themselves.

Lana scoffed in her heart and said, "I am not required to tell you guys who I am, right? Since this is an auction, the item will naturally go to the highest bidder. If you guys are not raising the price, then that luminous pearl is now mine!"

Many were silenced as her statement made sense.

"Alright then. 500 milion going thrice! Sold!"

The old man who stood on stage overseeing the auction had finally hammered down his gavel hard before telling Lana, "Please come on stage to have your card swiped, miss!"

"No problem!!"

Lana walked up the stage immediately while Fane followed beside her.

"I'm interested to see if you truly have that much money!"

Timothy was incredibly furious but could not do anything. What was more baffling to him was the fact that Fane, a Drake family bodyguard, had come here during working hours to go on a date with her! He was suspicious of Fane and was very sure that Fane was a sugar baby under that wealthy woman's care.

This wealthy woman might not be from the Middle Province however, and most likely came from somewhere else. However, how did she learn about the pearl that would be auctioned off today? "She actually did it!"

It did not take long for everyone present to watch Lana successfully pay the bill by swiping her card through the machine. On the side, the old man placed the luminous pearl into an intricate, small box before handing it over to Lana.

"I've got the men ready, boss. Since we'll be beating Fane up in a few moments, why don't we snatch the luminous pearl from him as well!" Neil's personal bodyguard behind him took a step forward and whispered into his ear.
