As long as the alliance between the ship and Black Sun was held together purely by profit.
Driving a wedge between them would be a walk in the park.
Nicholas naturally caught every shift in Serena's demeanor.
Seeing her focus zeroed in on the cloaked figure, his gaze darkened.
Black Sun's desperation to secure Grandma Aria's research serum was likely tied to enhancing their Obsidian Augments.
The true value of this serum... far exceeded their wildest imaginations.
Right after the Black Sun agent placed his bid.
The bidding indicator in another premier VIP suite suddenly lit up.
[Mr. Joker, raising the bid.]
The auctioneer's voice practically trembled with excitement as he read the screen. "Mr. Joker bids eight point eight billion dollars!"
Eight point eight billion!
The moment that number dropped, a tidal wave of shock ripped through the crowd.
"Joker is making a move?!"
"It looks like this thing is even more valuable than we thought!"
"With Mr. Joker in the game, this bloodbath just got a lot more interesting."
"..."
Inside the VIP suite.
Julian reclined on the sofa, his long legs elegantly crossed.
His refined, handsome features were an ocean of calm as he stared at the serum's label on the screen.
Staring at the designation A.W.S-0.
This serum was Grandma Aria's legacy.
He would never stand by and watch her life's work fall into the hands of strangers.
Especially not Black Sun.
Most importantly, this serum could only achieve its true potential in Serena's hands.
