Chapter 7: The Auction That Shook the Nation
It started with a single, quiet news ticker on a business channel:
"Delhi's Prime Heritage Auction to Include Plot 92 — Base Price ₹90 Cr"
No one cared at first. These heritage land auctions happened once every five years.
Mostly billionaires from Mumbai and Delhi showed up to flaunt wealth, boost brand value, or please ministers.
But then the bidding list leaked and one entry on it froze every screen:
Bidder #X – Registered as: Xylon Holdings Pvt. Ltd.Status: Pre-approvedLocation: TelanganaBackground: Unknown
Within hours, Twitter ignited.
"No way Spend King is stepping into Delhi now.""This guy's about to go national!""Plot 92 is near Parliament. If he wins that.... he owns the capital."
In Warangal, Nishanth stood before a massive LED display board inside Xylon HQ. His team of silent strategists, most from humble backgrounds, had gathered.
Adarsh read the report aloud.
"Plot 92 — 19 acres. Unused government storage land. Now declassified. Three major real estate families are gunning for it. Including Shekhawat Group."
