The moment the gilded mask appeared, it attracted the attention of everyone present.
After all, none of them were fools. Anyone with a modicum of experience could estimate its value with just a glance.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the starting bid for this gilded mask is five million. Please place your bids!"
The auctioneer waited in silence after speaking. Unlike before, he didn't fervently set the scene or describe how amazing the item was.
He knew that from the moment the mask was revealed, no words were needed. Anyone with discernment would be eager to possess it.
Everyone had anticipated a fierce bidding war, but who would've thought that the first bid would instantly outbid the majority of the attendees?
"One hundred million!"
Hearing this, the crowd was stunned.
Who starts their bid like that? It's twenty times the starting price!
