Meanwhile, Jenny was looking around. "Lady Lionheart's bid stands at 3 billion.
Do I hear another bid?"
Trevor was frowning but stayed silent instead of continuing to compete against
Sif.
Sif mistook it as Trevor showing weakness and was unable to compete further.
Smiling with smug disdain, she asked, "Why the silence? Go on, keep bidding—
let's see how much dough you have, challenging us Lionhearts.”
"Actually, you can have it since you like it," Frank suddenly said quietly.
If anything, buying an underdeveloped Hyperion Root at three billion dollars only
proved Sif's immaturity and experience.
"I can have it?" Sif snorted, folding her arms before her chest. "Pretty words, but
just admit you can't afford it. Do I really need your handouts? How shameless
can you be?"
"Heh." Frank simply chuckled and refrained from arguing, since it was pointless.
Still, his attitude only left Sif annoyed, and his smile left her feeling powerlessly
frustrated.
She was intent on seeing Frank submit to the monumental pressure and
frightening deep pockets of her family, but he remained nonchalant as always.
And that really upsetted her.
However, there was no excuse for her to keep harassing him—if she did, it would
show everyone how petty she was, and she would lose more than what she
stood to gain.
Snorting, she returned to her seat.
Frank narrowed his eyes, the frustration in Sif's expression not escaping his
notice. -
Eventually, Sif bought the ninety-year-old Hyperion Root for the astronomical
price of three billion.
"Next up, another treasure from my family's troves," Jenny announced and pulled
off a red cloth to reveal a white stalactite as thick as a person's arm. "It's a milk-
white stalactite—never processed or sculpted, one of the rarest items in my
father's collection. Feel free to check it out.”
"Huh...?" Frank's face fell when he saw the white stalactite.
It was disappointing that he lost the bid for the Hyperion Root, but he suddenly
straightened now, his eyes clearly focused.

his breath.
