Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 82

Piglet: "But to gain entry to the Astral Nova auction, you need to bet something as your entry ticket."

The Astral Nova auction was a haven for the world's most exquisite treasures. While everyone dreamed of snagging something, only a privileged few could step through its doors as the organizers were meticulous in screening their participants.

It was aimed to be an affair only for the elites.

Raven's response was concise: "A life."

Piglet was concerned and cautioned: "Boss, calm down! Don't act rashly. You can get in easily by taking a task as Raven for free. No need to gamble with your life. And hey, how will I earn my cut if you're not around?"

Hera was speechless. The last line must have been the main point!

Raven clarified: "I meant I'll save a life. As long as they're breathing, I can bring them back."

Piglet was relieved and also surprised. He replied: "You nearly gave me a heart attack! Wait, you still practice medicine? Wow, Boss, you're incredible. How can the others survive with you around?

"So, are you after the Eclipse Stone to help cure someone else, not because you're sick?"

Piglet bombarded Hera with several more messages. Once again, she blocked him before resuming watching her documentary. It wasn't until she finished the two-hour documentary that she unblocked Piglet and resumed their conversation.

Piglet: "Boss, did you block me again? Sob, sob.

"Alright, I'll cut to the chase. Someone just offered ten times the price for you to take on a task. Are you in or out?

"Ten times! Ten times! What do you say?"
