Shang Kingdom Auction, Part VI

“20,000,000!” Húndàn Wang shouted.

Silence reigned after this stifling number was announced. Twenty million was such a ridiculously high number that it made Wu Jian’s head spin. However, this was good for them.

“Is there anyone else who would like to bid?” asked Zhou Lihua. “20,000,000 going once. 20,000,000 going twice.”

“25,000,000,” a calm voice that had not spoken before now rang out in the auction house.

Wu Jian turned in the direction of the voice, but he couldn’t see past the VIP booth. Whoever they were, he didn’t think they sounded old, but they didn’t sound young either. It was like there was a disparity in their voice that made them seem both young and old at the same time.
