The entire room froze at the unexpected amount. After all, the bid right before it had been only for 600 billion CD. This bid nearly directly doubled it. Not to mention the amount of individuals that could afford to spend an amount into the trillions could probably be counted on one hand.
Even the auctioneer was so shocked he couldn't say anything for a moment.
"Ahem! I said that I will be bidding 1 Trillion Celestial Dollars.," repeated Lady Imogen.
The auctioneer's voice trembled slightly as he processed the bid, his excitement barely contained. "1 trillion Celestial Dollars!" he echoed, his eyes widening with the shock of the unprecedented sum.
"Do we have any higher?" The auctioneer composed himself and looked at the other three in hesitation, likely already predicting that 1 trillion will be the limit for tonight. The highest an auctioned item had ever sold previously was 5 years ago for 850 billion CD. This was an all-time record.
