Richard’s brows twitched. He did not expect Noir to still dare to compete.

With a cold snort, he also stated a price. “I bid 550 million!”

“560 million!”

“600 million!”

After several rounds of bidding, the price had reached 700 million!

700 million!

It was not seven hundred or seven thousand!

It was a nine–digit number!

It was enough for many people to live off worry–free for the rest of their lives.

“Tsk tsk tsk…”

Richard saw Noir bidding and already had an answer in his heart. He did not want to continue draggingthis out because he was looking forward to the climax.

He smacked his lips and said meaningfully, “It seems the guest from Florence is very interested in thedisfigured beauty of our Flandom. How interesting…

“There’s an ancient saying in the east that goes, ‘when friends come from afar, how can one not behappy?‘!

“Since you’re so fond of our Flandonian beauties, I’ll reluctantly let you have her. After all, a gentlemanis always ready to help others attain their aims!”

Richard looked at Noir and Andrius, showed off some of his knowledge, and said to the host, “I forfeit. Iwon’t bid anymore. Announce the result.”

Since he stopped bidding, the dust naturally settled.

Clang…

The beautiful host glanced at the auction hammer and said loudly, “I announce that this lady belongs tothe gentleman at table number 83. After the auction ends, please come backstage with your number topay and collect the item.”

Pay and collect the item.

What an insult for a former queen.

“We got her!” Noir was instantly excited that they succeeded.

Seeing this, Katalina was also overjoyed and suddenly grabbed Noir’s hand, rubbing his rough palm toexpress her gratitude. “Thank you! Thank you, Noir!” Noir was tickled by her actions and suddenlythought, ‘If I hadn’t worn a mask, would she have kissed me?‘

Before he could think further, his thoughts were interrupted by Andrius‘ words.

“Something’s off.” Andrius frowned and looked thoughtfully at the VIP room.

Noir quickly asked, “What’s wrong, Andy?”

Katalina also quieted down and looked at Andrius.

Andrius recalled Richard’s various actions, especially the final meaningful gaze and words, and wasstruck by a realization.

“We fell into a trap.” Andrius analyzed seriously with a contemplative expression, “Richard’s father,Alexander, usurped the throne. Logically

speaking, Queen Margerina should be in their hands.

“If Richard wants her, he could have just told Alexander. It won’t be an issue at all. However, why did hego to such lengths to put Queen Margerina up for auction? Isn’t that redundant and unnecessary?”

Andrius‘ words surprised Noir and Katalina.

Upon second thought, what he said made a lot of sense.

Then, he continued, “If I’m not mistaken, Richard was probably testing us just now, especially Katalina.”

Noir and Katalina were not fools. They both understood after Andrius explained it.

“Wolf King…” Katalina said apologetically, “I’m sorry. Your identities were exposed because of me, but Ijust couldn’t stand it…”

At that point, Katalina was on the verge of tears again.
