At the temporary auction venue deep within the Natural Corner Hotel's first floor.
At this moment, apart from Young Master Mengg who had raised his bidding card, everyone else had fallen silent.
The pitch-black stone held little interest for most people present.
With Mengg Hao making a move, no one else dared to mess around.
The woman hosting the auction seemed to have anticipated this, showing no sign of surprise. She scanned the room and said with a smile, "Is there anyone willing to bid higher? Even if this stone has no other uses, it would make a fine art piece for a collection!"
No one responded.
The woman hesitated slightly, expressing regret, "Since there is no higher bid, then the stone will go to Young Master Mengg..."
As she was about to bring down her auction gavel,
"I bid one million!"
A voice came from the back of the auction hall.
Was there actually someone daring to bid?
The audience, surprised, looked back.
