The bidding event’s venue was located in the bustling heart of Vista Verde, inside a state–of- the– art convention center.
The grand entrance of the center was lined with formally dressed staff in suits and ties.
Luxury cars continually pulled up to the front parking lot, releasing a stream of business magnates – CEOs and chairmen – who proceeded inside.
Suddenly, a lengthy convoy approached, grabbing everyone’s attention.
“It’s the Wyatt Group’s fleet!”
“And there’s the Andersons’s Rich Electronics Group!”
“Don’t forget the Roy family’s Hose Pharmaceuticals!”
Indeed, the dozen or so vehicles belonged to the Wyatt, Roy, and Anderson families.
As the cars came to a halt, bodyguards swiftly got out, opening the doors for James, Liam, and David respectively.
As they stepped out, many of the surrounding tycoons approached them, offering greetings. As pleasantries were exchanged, another convoy made its entrance.
“It’s the Field family’s convoy!”
“Mr. Field has arrived!”
James, Liam, and David turned their gazes toward the arriving vehicles.
After the cars stopped, Graham, Gilmore, Helene, and other top executives of the Horizon Group descended from their cars.
Sharing a knowing look, James, Liam, and David seemed to have a hint of smug satisfaction in their eyes.
Approaching Graham, James wore a bright smile, “Good morning, Graham!”
Graham reciprocated with a grin, “Morning!”
“Graham, James began with a teasing tone, “I’m afraid that during this bidding, the Wyatt family might just send you home empty–handed.”

James Grahams term with a playful edge to hit voice, the bidding hasn’t even started yer Isn’t it a bit premature to declare victory?”
James chuckled, Graham, the Wyatt family has never lost, and this time won’t be any different. We will not be defeated.”
“Well, James, let’s see what unfolds at the bidding session then.”
“Agreed. At the bidding, we’ll determine who truly leads the pack.”
With that, James, accompanied by Liam and David, strode into the convention center, their faces wearing confident smiles.
Graham, Gilmore, and Helene exchanged amused glances.
As they expected, James and his companions were brimming with confidence, certain of their impending victory.
This overconfidence was precisely what Graham and his team were counting on.
They intended to catch the Wyatt family off guard.
Following close behind, Graham, Gilmore, and the rest of their team made their way
the convention center.

As both the Wyatt and Field families entered the venue, the surrounding business elites began to whisper among themselves, “The Wyatt and Field families are the top two real estate giants in Vista Verde!”
“The competition for the CBD project will undoubtedly boil down to these two!”
“Who do you think will succeed in the bidding?”
The conversation continued as they all filed into the convention center.
Inside, the grand hall was filled to capacity.
A sharply dressed emcee took center stage. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
He picked up a remote, pressing a button that projected a massive map of the CBD project site and various statistics onto a large LED screen behind him.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our bidding event. Let the competition begin!
“The opening bid for the CBD project starts at 100 billion. Companies, please begin your
bids
As soon as his words echoed through the hall, a representative from a company raised their sign, “Eagle Group bids 2.2 bilion”

No sooner had they made their bod than another company chimed in. “Fly Group offers & billion

At that momen, James from the audience seat picked up a sign that read “4” and raised it high “The Wyas Gang Bad & ballon!” he declined

“Jumping warzight to 4 billion classic big spenden moes by the Wyatt Group!” another voice remarked

But just as the one was about to call it the third and final time, Graham made his move, “The Horton Group bis 46 billion he declared increasing the bid by 0.6 billion in one go.
There was another collective geop of astonishment from the audience.
James brows furrowed slightly a sharp glit in his eyes. Without hesitation, he lifted his sign again. The #yan Group buds & bellow”

All attention shifted back to James in an instant.
“I bid 5.4 billion!” Graham said, bypassing the sign and shouting his bid directly.
Almost immediately, the gaze of the crowd moved from James to Graham.
Even James, Liam, and David struggled to maintain their composure amidst the intense bidding war.
Given the information they had, they believed the Horizon Group could bid a maximum of 5 billion.
That was supposedly the limit of the Field family’s resources.
But now, they’ve put forth 5.4 billion!
This was entirely beyond their expectations.
Still, James and his group were confident.
In their eyes, even if the Field family could muster 5.4 billion, they definitely couldn’t come up with 6 billion.
With this thought, James, without any hesitation, raised his hand and confidently declared, “The Wyatt Group bids 6 billion!”
As James announced the staggering bid of 6 billion, the audience erupted in whispers and
murmurs.
By this point, after the 300 billion bid, all other bidders had essentially thrown in the towel, no longer wishing to compete.
They were now merely spectators.
The entire bidding event had turned into a fierce duel between two titans of the real estate world- the Wyatt Group and the Horizon Group!
With his bid of 6 billion, James looked smugly in Graham’s direction, his eyes practically challenging: Can you top that?
However, in response to James‘ taunting glance, Graham coolly raised a sign displaying “7” and calmly announced, “The Horizon Group bids 7 billion!”
As Graham announced the bid of 7 billion, the smug expression on James‘ face turned sour in
an instant.

Even Liam and David were taken aback.
7 billion!
How could the Field family muster such an enormous sum?
Recovering from his shock, an indignant James immediately raised his hand and declared, “8 billion!”
A ripple of astonishment went through the crowd.
But before they could even digest that number, Graham, without missing a beat, countered with “9 billion!”
James furrowed his brows and exchanged glances with Liam and David. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
“9 billion? How is this possible?” They thought.
They began to suspect whether Graham was genuinely capable of backing up such a bid.
Could he be artificially inflating the price, forcing the Wyatt family to commit to a higher cost even if they did secure the bid?
With a flash of irritation in his eyes, James shouted, “10 billion!”
This was the breaking point.
If the bid exceeded 10 billion, it would surpass the financial capacity of the combined coffers of the Wyatt, Anderson, and Roy families.
If Graham could actually afford a higher bid, not only would James refuse to raise his own offer, but he’d gladly concede.
He was curious to see if the Field family could really procure such a staggering amount of money once they won the project.
Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Graham, in a strategic twist, raised his hand and proclaimed, “On behalf of the Wyatt Group, I bid 11 billion!”
