“This collector’s item is known as the Angel’s Heart. It is a jewelry piece that Ms. Shannon White
brought back from New Zealand more than a decade ago.
“According to Ms. Shannon White, there’s a secret within this collector’s item. However, she doesn’t
know what that secret is either. She didn’t manage to find out even after analyzing it thoroughly for
more than a decade.”
“Before Ms. Shannon passed away, she wanted to put this collector’s item up for auction. All the
proceedings will be donated to the Leukemia Research Foundation. The starting price is 1 Harbor
Dollar.”
This jewelry piece selling at starting price of 1 Harbor Dollar looked like a very simple and ordinary
pendant. The pendant itself was molded in the shape of an angel holding a heart. Based on its material
and appearance, it looked like it was worth 100000 Harbor Dollars at most.
However, Shannon White was one of the most famous philanthropists in Harbor City. Her death, which
had been caused by leukemia, caused quite a huge uproar back then.
Hence, the Angel’s Heart, which had a mere starting price of 1 Harbor Dollar and a so-called “secret”
within it, attracted the attention of many people as soon as it appeared.
As for that so-called secret, many of them did not take it seriously. They just laughed it off.
Most people thought it was simply a gimmick created by the auctioneer. Shannon White had analyzed
the piece for more than ten years without making any discoveries. Therefore, they could conclude that
this ‘secret’ was a mere sham.
Meanwhile, Jasper’s interest was piqued when he set his eyes upon the Angel’s Heart.
Going through his memories of the future, he clearly remembered that this Angel’s Heart really had a
secret… A huge secret that was worth more than 100 million dollars.
People eventually discovered the secret around the year 2012. It had been the hottest topic for a
significant period of time.
“500000 Harbor Dollars.”
During the few minutes that Jasper had been immersed in thought, the price of the Angel’s Heart had
already been elevated to a number far beyond its original value.
The people in the audience were some of the wealthiest people in Harbor City. To them, 500000 Harbor
Dollars and 50000 Harbor Dollars were no different.
As the late philanthropist Shannon White had commissioned for the auction of this jewelry piece
herself, this was indeed an item of notable prestige. Hence, many people intended to purchase it.
“800000 Harbor Dollars.” Jasper joined in the bidding without a moment’s hesitation.
Given Jasper’s current net worth, he did not really have a liking for such things anymore. This included
the secret, which was worth more than 100 million Harbor Dollars.
However, people like Jasper thought that it was a loss not to earn anything on a daily basis. After all,
only b*stards did not love a good bargain.
Someone from one of the tables of the four top families made a bid. After that, the other wealthy people
sitting behind understandably stopped matching the bid.
Although the item was good, it would not be wise to offend someone from the four top families over it.
Noticing Jasper join in on the bid, Zane, who did not have much interest in the Angel’s Heart, sneered.
After meeting eyes with Mitch Langdon, he slowly raised his hand.
“1000000 Harbor Dollars.”
The moment had arrived. A lot of people watched on eagerly.
Since ancient times, battles for riches between wealthy families had always been an interesting sight.
Many of them were beyond thrilled to watch Zane and Jasper go against each other.
“1.5 million Harbor Dollars.” Jasper did not disappoint the interested audience. He added 500000
Harbor Dollars to the bidding price immediately.
“Oh, it seems like the country bumpkin wants to gain some fame from purchasing the Angel’s Heart
from Ms. Shannon White? Well, that’s too bad. I won’t let you do as you wish. 2 million Harbor Dollars,”
Zane said with a grin on his face. He crossed his legs and side-eyed Jasper snobbishly.
“Listen to my advice. Don’t embarrass yourself in the high society circle of Harbor City with just those
few steel bars in your pocket. Even if you force yourself into the community, you’re still a country
bumpkin.
“If you really wanted to be famous, why don’t you make a bid for the renaissance painting worth more
than 10 million Harbor Dollars just now? Just accept the fact that you’re poor. Aren’t you ashamed of
bidding for an item that had a starting bid of 1 Harbor Dollar? You can’t give up the money, but you still
want fame? What a joke.”
Zane scratched at his ear nonchalantly. He then laughed maniacally. “Continue following the bid if you
can! I want to see just how much money you can spare to play this game with me!”
