Chapter 278 Caged Birds
“Canary No. 1, please come forward,” said the emcee.
A young female not older than 20 years old appeared.
“Canary No. 1 is 84/60/84, 5’43” tall, and weighs 105 pounds. She enjoys reading, listening to music, and traveling. Her starting bid is five million dollars.”
Within two minutes, the bid reached eight million dollars.
“Nine million dollars, going once.”
“10 million dollars, going once.”
“15 million dollars.”
“15 million dollars, going once.”
“15 million dollars, going twice.”
“20 million dollars.”
In the end, Canary No. 1 was sold for 20 million dollars, to a land developer.
“Now, Canary No. 2. She is 86/62/86, 5’44”, and weighs 105 pounds. She likes food, watching dramas, and doing makeup. Her starting bid is five million dollars.”
Canary No. 2 was then sold for 23 million dollars. Canary No. 3 to No. 8 had very low bids as everyone was saving for Canary No. 9. Those who knew they didn’t stand a chance bode for someone else instead. For the canaries, if they failed to get a caller tonight, they would be sold again in another auction, albeit at a lower price. Being a commodity was their fate now.
When it was Canary No. 9’s turn, everyone stood up. Among the crowd, Benjamin and Abel stood out. They were so young and handsome. All other canaries could only hope to be owned by someone like them.
“Canary No. 9 is 84/59/85, 5’5″ tall, and weighs 108 pounds. She likes to drink tea, exercise, and overthink. Her bidding price is… 100 million dollars!”
A middle-aged businessman slumped back in his seat. Some fainted and had to be resuscitated by their assistants. And some started chugging their meds to calm their racing hearts. The mastermind must know how much money Benjamin and Abel carried with them.
“We have 110 million dollars here.”
“150 million dollars.”
It was a war to see who had the thickest wallet.
