"This is the first of the five final artifacts!"
The auctioneer said.
Then, she tore off the black cloth covering the lot, and a painting half a man high appeared in front of everyone.
"What the f*ck? Is this Douglas Van Dough's Moon Lake Painting?"
"Really? Wasn't the Moon Lake Painting already sold? If I remember correctly, a wealthy merchant in Port City bought it for 400 million dollars."
"Four hundred million dollars! A painting for 400 million? Did this guy from Port City hit the jackpot?"
"What do you know? The truly rich would even buy Van Dough's authentic painting for 4 billion, not just 400 million."
"Yeah. Judging from your ignorance, you didn't know Douglas Van Dough had a Lumiere Mountain Waterfall Painting that sold for 3.6 billion dollars, did you? Lumiere Mountain Waterfall Painting would probably have sold for more than 5 billion nowadays."
...
As the auction lot was officially unveiled, the entire venue erupted into an unprecedented heated discussion.
Van Dough's authentic painting worth 400 million had shocked everyone by its reappearance.
Not a single person doubted the authenticity of the painting. After all, with Victory Auction House's reputation, they did not need to fool everyone with a fake for 400 million.
"It looks like many people here know about Moon Lake Painting.
"Everyone's right. Someone did buy Moon Lake Painting, but the wealthy merchant from Port City sold it to Victory Auction House later because of some issues.
"The starting price for Moon Lake Painting is 400 million dollars."
The auctioneer said with excitement as she took in the reactions of everyone present.
However, there was a flash of disdain in her eyes.
