Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1711

This was a top-tier auction dealing in the tens of billions!

Every previous increment had been in the hundreds of millions.

Even when someone was just testing the waters, they raised it by at least ten million.

But now, The Sterling Sovereign had only bumped Mr. Joker's bid by a measly six hundred thousand dollars?

Even the absolute cheapest junk auctioned tonight started higher than six hundred thousand!

Tacked onto the end of twelve point four billion, that number looked like a pathetic decimal point.

"What is The Sterling Sovereign playing at?"

"Is he deliberately mocking Mr. Joker?"

"Only raising by six hundred thousand in a war like this... that's a blatant insult, isn't it?"

Whispers erupted across the floor.

Even the ship's crew assumed The Sterling Sovereign and Joker had bad blood, and that this was a deliberate tactic to humiliate a rival.

Inside his suite, Julian frowned ever so slightly when he saw the number.

Six hundred thousand?

He stared at the screen for two seconds.

Then, he raised his hand and pressed his terminal again.

[Mr. Joker, twelve point five billion dollars.]

The very second his bid registered.

A fresh counter-offer from The Sterling Sovereign popped up on the board.

[The Sterling Sovereign, $12,500,600,000.]

Another six hundred thousand.

Always six hundred thousand.

Julian stared at the quote originating from The Sterling Sovereign's suite, a subtle crease forming between his brows.

The Sterling Sovereign's bidding style had always been brutally decisive.

Every single raise was designed to crush morale and force out the competition with overwhelming numbers.
