Everyone's jaw dropped.
Immediately after, someone shouted, "Impossible! How could a young girl like her have that much money?"
"What, so Clusians aren't allowed to be rich?" someone shot back defiantly.
A foreigner spat, "You Clusians are all dirt poor! Where would you get that kind of money?"
The words riled up quite a few patriotic Clusians. One shouted to Zoe, "Young girl, we've got your back! If you run short on funds, we'll all pitch in to help!"
Another chimed in, "That's right! A single spark can start a prairie fire! With so many of us Clusians here, those foreigners can't outbid us."
With so many people rallying behind Zoe, Bruce and the Evans brothers swelled with pride. They thought, 'Zoe is so incredibly amazing!'
Meanwhile, Eunice and Clara's faces turned an even deeper shade of livid.
The bidding continued. The foreign bidders kept calling out higher prices, but Zoe matched every single one without hesitation. As the price approached 100 million dollars, the foreign bidders began showing signs of hesitation.
Just then, Zoe's voice cut through the air, offering, "100 million dollars!"
The spectators erupted in thunderous applause for Zoe. The foreign bidders who had been vying for the gem hung their heads in defeat and gave up altogether.
With a staggering bid of 100 million dollars, Zoe successfully acquired the gem, leaving the auction house breathless.
The host announced, "Congratulations to this young lady for successfully acquiring the gem."
Zoe's bank card was taken to process the payment.
Eunice couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. She thought, 'Even if I add up my salary and the allowance, my total assets barely reach just over 3 million. Yet Zoe could just drop 100 million dollars like it's nothing.'
She spoke up, "Zoe, Shawn must be pampering you excessively. He just lets you spend that much money like it's nothing. Doesn't anyone in the Ludwig family object to it?"
Zoe couldn't be bothered to explain anymore. She thought, 'No one would believe me even if I said the money was mine. Might as well let them guess.'
As the auction continued, the grand finale was finally revealed. It was a weapon crafted by Kestrel. The customized firearm enabled seamless switching between firing and reloading, significantly reducing vulnerability during magazine changes.
The moment those foreigners saw the item, they sprang to their feet, their eyes gleaming with naked greed.
One foreigner exclaimed, "It's Kestrel's work! I have to get my hands on it!"
Another said, "This is mine! With this, I'll dominate everyone!"
One of the foreign bidders declared, "With this, I can show off and expand my empire even further."
Among those foreign bidders, some were genuine weapon enthusiasts, while others proved to be foreign military operatives. What they truly desired were the classified technologies inside the firearm. They wanted to copy the firearm so they could put it into mass production.
"Dad, I want that gun!" Herbert cried out. His eyes lit up as he turned to Bruce, his voice shaking with excitement. He was passionate about firearms and marksmanship. They were his passion.
As a true gun lover, he couldn't keep calm as he saw the firearm.
Bruce remained silent, but deep down, he coveted that item just as much. After all, acquiring this weapon could open doors to meeting Kestrel. And the potential benefits were simply immeasurable.
Clara added firmly, "We must secure this. Then we can plead with Kestrel to take Eunice on as his apprentice. It would be a tremendous boost for the Evans family!"
Every other family in the room was thinking the same thing as Clara. Everyone wanted to get into Kestrel's good graces. This weapon was destined to be the hottest item in the room.
Bruce stayed quiet because his funds couldn't guarantee winning the bid.
