The masked man lurking in the shadows raised the bid by US$ 1,370,000. Although he wore a cold-blooded mask, everyone knew...
He was the young Mr. Harrington of The Harringtons, Charles Harrington.
Leo held up his little sign, also bidding: 5200...
The auction house was no longer calm. Had Mr. Bailey of The Baileys made a special trip to Antabury just to snatch The Harringtons' token of affection?
The Harringtons were also a prominent family, with a complex and influential network of connections. Although not as powerful as The Baileys, they were still one of the unshakable foundations of society.
The big boss took the baby bottle passed by his bodyguard and started feeding milk with full concentration...
Leo dangled his legs, occasionally raising his sign to bid higher.
The crowd was astounded. Were they treating this solemn auction like a playground?
