Chapter 328: Asset Audit (Please vote for this chapter!)
A whirlwind of emotions stripped Hanson Charlotte of his usual composure. His withered right hand trembled as he pointed at Leon from afar, shrieking in a hysterical rage: "There's no way you can produce twenty million gold coins! You're disrupting the auction's order—I demand the Blackhorn Consortium intervene and audit his assets!"
Hanson Charlotte's outburst immediately reminded everyone else.
That's right, we're talking about twenty million gold coins here...
The young man in the fifth row, though a member of the Merlin Family and owner of a vast alchemy business, looked barely twenty years old. Was he really qualified to mobilize such an enormous sum—twenty million gold coins?
This just doesn't make sense...
Hanson Charlotte was able to bid ten million gold coins because the Charlotte Family was desperate to reclaim their place among Auckland's elite. They wanted to use this auction to showcase their strength and foundation—a decision made by the entire Charlotte Family.
But the Merlin Family...
They didn't need to do this at all. If it was just about moving funds, not even Patriarch Hoffland Merlin could mobilize twenty million gold coins without the elders arguing for months.
Where did he get so much money?
