Double the pay is not out of the question!

Six hundred thousand!

Wells glanced at the mysterious bidder who had also made a bid at the last minute, and continued to raise the price without changing his expression.

The poem with an unknown title, "Ten Years of Separation Between Life and Death," perfectly expresses his longing for his deceased wife.

No matter what, I must win this film for my beloved wife.

"Six hundred and fifty thousand!"

Unexpectedly, the black-haired Asian man continued to follow, and immediately raised the price to $50,000.

In fact.

Only the president, Wang Zhan, and a few others knew about it.

The Asian man who made the on-the-spot bid was also a special guest arranged by the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

They were also at the last minute.

They decided to buy Wang Yueheng's profound "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion".

It is to be handed over to Ms. Zheng Shuangmei, the widow of Vice President Norkland.

She did so to express her gratitude to her husband for his contributions to the secretive cause in the Dragon Kingdom.

Prior to this.

Chairman Wang Zhan never expected that Wang Yueheng would deliver such a brilliant performance on stage.

They just intended to help push up the starting price and then quietly withdraw from the auction.

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand US dollars..."

"Mr. Wells, number 8, has bid seven hundred and fifty thousand!"

As science fiction writer H.G. Wells made another bid, even the usually composed auctioneer, Ekaterin, began to tremble slightly.

They even stopped using terms like "guest" and instead called out the bidders' names directly.

Seven hundred and fifty thousand US dollars!

What kind of concept is this?

That's enough to buy almost all the personal items donated by the celebrities present today!

"God! What did I just see?!"

"Thank goodness this was a charity auction, otherwise I'd probably be green with envy!"

"Wang Yueheng is awesome!"

"At this rate, it'll surely fetch a million US dollars, right?"

The bidding for this artwork continued to skyrocket.

The already excited onlookers went wild again.

All eyes were once again drawn to Wells and the mysterious Asian buyer.

Some people even started frantically searching online for information about the Asian man's identity based on photos from the scene.

I wonder if he was a shill helping Wang Yueheng raise the bid, or a real financial tycoon.

"Nine hundred thousand dollars!"

Unexpectedly, the Asian man showed no sign of backing down.

After Wells raised the price by $100,000, he then raised it by $150,000 in one go.

"Thank you... thank you, Mr. Hao Yongchun (No. 19) for your support of charity!"

Are there any other bidders who want to continue bidding?

As she spoke, Yekaterin, with a smile on her face, glanced regretfully at Wells.

It seems this Asian man is determined to win this "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" tonight...

Given Wells's style, he usually wouldn't be too reckless.

When it's time to give up, choose to give up.

The last round of the basketball shoe auction is a clear example.

"One million and fifty thousand US dollars!"

Unexpectedly, Wilson, the white-bearded science fiction writer, hesitated for a moment.

They solemnly raised their bidding paddles once again.

And the look on his face as he looked at the Asian man was filled with determination.

That attitude seemed to say, "For that poem, for my wife, I will never back down this time!"
