Even Nathaniel Besian was stunned.
What was his master doing?
He could reason with the purchase of the ivory carvings as everyone has a patriotic heart.
But the calligraphy and paintings of the idler...
Hadn't the master always held a low opinion of the idler's calligraphy and paintings?
This was very uncharacteristic.
Before Nathaniel Besian could react, Viola Thompson's voice rang out again.
Casual, yet highly insulting.
"Kid, if you don't have the capability, don't show off."
The host tapped his little gavel and then spoke.
"1.5 billion once! 1.5 billion twice!"
Miyamoto Hoya gritted his teeth, sullenly saying, "2 billion!"
2 billion.
"2.5 billion." Viola Thompson continued raising the price.
"3 billion!" At this point, Miyamoto was only interested in outbidding, because he knew that Viola Thompson was determined to get this painting. Hence, no matter how high he bid, Viola Thompson would always outbid him.
If that was the case.
