Everyone around Sif was silenced by her outburst—she was still an heiress of the Lionhearts, and noone would ever dare challenge her.

"Just you wait!" Sif snorted as she glared viciously at Frank.

Frank merely gave her an innocent look, leaving her further frustrated.

Soon, the next auction item—an emerald pearl—was brought up onstage.

"My father collected this from the South Sea, and it was after much prospecting that we found outit's a miraculous gem that promotes longevity,” Jenny spoke.

A hint of bitterness appeared on her face as she remembered that her father died of sudden naturalcauses—fat good longevity did

"Why wouldn't I? I even made a bid. Why don't you make a bid too if you want it?" Frank repliedThere was nothing to dissect from his words, and Sif certainly could not read what he was planningwith his neutral expression.

Moreover, she had encountered that hale pearl before and knew its quality and value.

Two hundred million dollars—no more, no less.

If she made another bid and it turned out to be another of Frank's traps, she would be made asucker twice.

Telling herself that Frank was cunning and that she must be careful, she shook her head, giving upjust then.

"200 million from Mr. Zurich. Anyone else?" Jenny asked and counted down before banging thegavel thrice.

And with that, the emerald hale pearl fell into Frank's hands with relative ease.

While Jenny announced it, Trevor turned uncomfortably toward Frank to replace him grinning. "200million dollars is no loss. I might even say we hit the jackpot.”

Sif could see Frank's reaction from getting the hale pearl and sneered. "You really know nothing,celebrating just because you got some junk. Aren't you worried how people would laugh at you?"Then, opening the box of the Hyperion Root, she brandished it at Frank while scoffing. "See this?Real treasure—and you'll never have what it takes to get it!"

However, Frank was laughing at her words. "Really? The way I see it, you Lionhearts only deservethat sort of trash.”
