Chapter 231 - Bidding wars

"Ladies and gentlemen! The clock strikes midnight, but before we move on to the main event of this night, I'd like to make a small speech. Ever since our secret society had been dug up, life hadn't been the same for many of us. But I believe that this is a change for the better. In these days, like never before, we are forced to interact and cooperate, no matter what is our species. And I think that for so long, we really lacked in the spirit of cooperation. Today isn't about making money. It's about all of you coming together to share your appreciation for finer things in life. The auction is just a reason, a bait to motivate you leaving your mansions and coming to mine. But, I promise the items won't leave you disappointed! This is, after all, a collection that I gathered for decades."
