Everyone was stunned. They stared with wide, disbelieving eyes, wondering if there was something wrong with their hearing.
"What did I just hear? Someone said they want to pick number seven? And they're offering one hundred million? In US Dollars?"
"How could anyone offer one hundred million US Dollars for a Love God Crown! That's seven hundred million in Golden Currency if you convert it!"
"The host was about to announce Miss Fiona Vaughn as this year's Love Goddess, wasn't that just someone making a show for attention? Isn't the three-minute bidding time already over?"
But someone immediately shook their head to refute.
"I was watching the screen! Pretty much as soon as that man finished talking, the timer projected on stage slowly counted down from ten to zero!"
"That bid counts."
"No shit! For real?! What if he can't pay a hundred million? Is he just there to make a fuss?"
