Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 413

At this stage, each bid would bring a significant increase to the price. This was a game beyond the reach of ordinary wealthy folk, where a single bid could easily cost them their entire fortune. It seemed that this legendary map would surely be going to this person.

Felicia watched lazily. She had thought the auction would wind down at this point, but to her surprise, another bid came from a different VIP room on the second floor!

The crowd erupted in astonishment.

What left them even more stunned was the immediate response from the VIP room on the left, doubling the price in one go, making it clear they were determined to win the bid.

At that rate, the bid would reach an astronomical price!

The two VIP rooms seemed to be locked in a bidding war. Each new bid from one side was quickly matched by the other, sending the price skyrocketing to another level entirely.

Amidst the clash, the atmosphere in the hall was tense and seemed ready to ignite.

Felicia clicked her tongue at the sight. She came here just so she could witness that legendary item.

Before the map went up for auction, the big screen had displayed its appearance. It did seem worn and tattered with indiscernible origin.

With her goal achieved, she stood up and surreptitiously left the auction.

Everyone's attention was focused on the two VIP rooms upstairs, so no one noticed her departure.

However, what she didn't know was after she left, the situation in the hall changed. While the crowd was still anticipating the bidding war to drag on for some time, one of the occupants of the VIP room seemed to have lost interest and left abruptly.

The fierce bidding war came to a sudden end.

Regardless of what the crowd thought, the auctioneer's gavel struck one final time, declaring the map sold at a jaw-dropping price of a few hundred million. The map was then respectfully delivered to the VIP room of the winning bidder.

The box containing the map was opened, and a roll of manuscript made of silk was unfurled.
