On the other hand, Trevor believed that the huge rock might have something special in it if Frank


    thought so highly of it.


    "Mr. Lawrence, the stctite..." he asked tentatively just in case.


    He knew for a fact that Frank had several such stctites in his own mansion in Skywater Bay. Even if


    those stctites were not as old as this one, there was no reason this particr one delighted Frank so


    much.


    "We must have it!" Frank''s reply was simple and determined.


    Naturally, Sif could see that nearby.


    "Yes, sir!" Trevor had no reason to refuse, seeing how determined Frank was.


    In fact, he would bankrupt himself buying that rock just because Frank said so!


    Meanwhile, Jenny was smiling as she introduced, "My father''s friend happened to find this milk-white


    stctite while exploring a cave. It''s a rare thousand-year-old stone, though we''ve never looked inside.


    The starting bid is ten million, and subsequent bids must be over a million."


    Though Jenny''s introduction was simple, the bidders knew that the milk-white stctite was more than


    what it seemed, and the air in the auction hall became charged right then.


    "20 million!"


    "25 million!"


    "30 million!"


    Though the wealthy bidders began topete, they weren''t actually interested in the stone itself, but


    what it contained within.


    After withstanding the wear and tear of a thousand years, whaty within would definitely be special.


    It was obvious everyone was ready to take a gamble, and even the auctioneer was brave enough to set


    the starting bid at a hundred million.


    And as a businessman, Trevor could certainly read the signs.


    Seeing that there were less bidders and that the timing was right, he stood up, snapping bluntly as he


    raised his paddle, "200 million!"


    "200 million?!"


    The hall was left silent at Trevor''s bid, and they watched him, some shaking heads and some sighing,


    while othersughed in contempt.


    It was a gamble, but there was no telling what the milk-white stctite contained—it could well be just


    an insignificant rock!


    If that happened, one would have paid through the nose for nothing, and this was especially the case


    with that 200 million dor price tag!


    Some bigwigs were shaking their heads, considering Trevor mad for that uncalcted gamble.


    Naturally, no one raised his bid.

    Those who know Trevor were aware of his determination and how he never lost what he set his sight


    on.


    If they could have him owe him a favor instead of fighting for it, why not?


    Hence, silence ensued in the hall.


    "Mr. Zurich bids 200 mil! Any further bids?" Jenny then asked loudly onstage, looking around.


    As every other bidder kept quiet, Jenny pressed, "Calling 200 mil once!


    "Calling 200 mil twice!"


    Just as Jenny was about to say it thrice, Sif slowly raised her paddle beside Frank.


    "300 million," she said and smiled provokingly at a frowning Frank, as if she had already won.
