Kelsey whispered, "It's easy to understand. This is the Twin Box. They don't know if there is anything in it. If they want to open it, they have to find the other box. If they can't find the other box, it's meaningless to buy this box."
"However, its collection value is very high. Even if they can't find another box, the material is of high quality. If they buy and collect it, it will be equally priceless after a hundred years."
Moreover, compared to those items worth millions of dollars, a few hundreds of thousands of dollars was absolutely not expensive at all.
Kelsey smiled and said, "Many people know that this box belongs to Master Milton, and he values it very much. Mr. Milton is putting it up for auction to fool around. This box will definitely not be auctioned off. Mr. Milton does not have the guts to do that."
Speaking of that, I couldn't help but be curious. I looked around the auction hall and asked, "Why don't I see Mr. Milton?"
She lifted her hand, pointed at our surroundings and said, "This room is full of surveillance cameras. I guess Mr. Milton is probably watching us behind the cameras!"
I pursed my lips and felt that he really was laughable.
Looking at the box on the stage, I thought for a moment before asking, "Are you sure that the Milton family won't sell this box out?"
She shrugged and replied, "It's hard to say."
"Well, currently, the bid of this sandalwood box is four hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Is there anyone else who wants to make a higher bid? Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars, going once. Four hundred and fifty thousand dollars, going twice..." the host announced while knocking the hammer on the table.
"One million!" someone called out, instantly piercing through the silent atmosphere.
The person who spoke was Evan. Feeling confused, I turned to look at him and said in a puzzled manner, "Evan, you..."
He looked at me and said with a serious expression, "Mr. Roberts wants the box. Perhaps, it really can open the box your grandmother gave you, Mrs. Roberts."
I was taken aback for a moment and said, "The contents in the box belong to my grandmother. I just want to have a look at it. It doesn't matter if I can't open it, I'll just keep it with me."
He smiled faintly, "Mr. Roberts hopes that you can get to know what's inside."
The host continued to announce one million dollars once.
