One of the foreign bidders sneered, "Give it up, you Clusian paupers! This weapon will be wasted on you. Only we can truly make use of it!"
Another said, "That's right! We'll use it to dominate the world, starting by crushing Clusia!"
Every Clusian with a shred of national pride flushed crimson with outrage at those words, their faces burning with fury. They thought, 'Those foreigners have absolutely no respect for Clusia, even daring to openly humiliate us in a situation like this.'
Some people only cared about profit and just wanted to watch the spectacle.
Zoe's eyes turned icy as she took in every bit of the foreigners' arrogance. She first designed the weapon for her own convenience. She never imagined what would happen if these foreigners got their hands on it and used it against Clusia.
Zoe might have come back to Clusia to assassinate Shawn, but she was born a Clusian. The nation's spirit flew in her veins. She thought, 'There's no way in hell I'll let these foreigners use my weapon to trample upon Clusia.
'I already handed the weapon over to the auction house ages ago. But since Herbert likes it, I don't mind buying back my auction item for him.'
Just then, the host said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Kestrel's creations are exceedingly rare. This is the only weapon of his ever to be auctioned. The starting bid is 16 million, with increments of 3 million!"
The foreign bidders, unable to contain their excitement, began shouting out their offers. In no time, the bid skyrocketed past 33 million dollars.
Some Clusians, who were eager to bring honor to their families, vied fiercely for this weapon. But the price had climbed so high that they simply couldn't keep up. With heavy hearts, they had no choice but to withdraw from the bidding.
Eunice's heart pounded when she heard the bid hit 33 million dollars. She looked anxiously at Bruce, trying to gauge just how much more he was prepared to bid.
Seeing that Bruce stopped bidding once the price exceeded 33 million, the audience thought, 'Is the Evans family throwing in the towel?'
The bids kept skyrocketing and soon soared past today's record of 100 million dollars.
One muttered, "At this price point, not many people will stay in the game."
One by one, the Clusian bidders dropped out. The price had soared to astronomical heights, completely out of their reach.
Just then, Zoe raised her paddle and shouted, "160 million dollars!"
The entire audience turned as one, their gazes locking onto Zoe with shock.
Eunice snapped, "Zoe, have you lost your mind? You just blew 100 million dollars, and now you're bidding 160 million! Even the Ludwig family's wealth must have its limits. How could they possibly keep up with your reckless spending like this?"
Everyone in the room was thinking the same thing. They thought, 'Has Zoe lost her mind? She's spending Shawn's money like it's Monopoly money! Who does she think she is?'
Even Bruce couldn't hold back anymore. He said, "Zoe, even though you and Shawn are close, you're not engaged yet. You mustn't risk ruining this marriage arrangement by splurging like this."
"Zoe, don't let impulse be your downfall! Think before you act!" Charlie said.
Beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead, Herbert chimed in, "Zoe, honestly, I don't want that weapon that much. How about we just drop it?" He thought, '160 million dollars? What kind of money is that?'
Finally losing his patience, one of the foreigners snapped at Zoe, "Who the hell are you, and why do you keep getting in our way?"
Zoe replied firmly, "I am a Clusian! As a Clusian, I shall never let such a crucial weapon fall into the hands of foreign adversaries to be turned against my own country."
Hearing Zoe's words, all the Clusians present were utterly stunned and deeply moved. They thought, 'This is the spirit of the Clusians. This is our national pride! We are proud to be Clusians.' The crowd erupted into thunderous applause for Zoe.
