Chapter 529: Bidding war
Discussion erupted around the auction. The crowd and the companies were starting to wonder about the Reborn company.
For such an unknown name, they were bold and rich enough to try and compete with the Pyramidic Cuisine! The price of the land had gone up to 10 million coins!
Many of the people were conflicted on Reborn’s decision. They didn’t know if they were seeing something that other companies couldn’t see in the land, or they were just wasting their money.
"Who is the Reborn company? I haven’t heard of them, so they’re probably new to this sort of thing. Maybe they just got caught up in the atmosphere."
That was the prevailing sentiment for most of the companies and the crowd watching the auction.
Even the people who knew Michael personally were also surprised with their decision.
In one of the Major Factions’ private suites, Bobby and the rest of his officers in the Quench Company were discussing amongst themselves about the nature of Michael’s bid. Was it smart or was it wasteful?
Bobby turned to Dicky, who was acquainted with Michael and knew some of his true capabilities.
"Did you know that Michael had this kind of money?" Bobby asked.
Dicky shook his head. "I knew he was strong, but I didn’t know that he had ten million gold coins to spare.
Truth be told, I never really thought much about his company’s history outside of Metropolis. I heard that they came from the Kings region, so I assumed that their business wasn’t that good.
