Zhang Yang felt a surge of excitement. This feeling was absolutely amazing.
"Ah, this feels great! It's my first time buying a collectible with this much money!"
Although Zhang Yang hadn't actually intended to spend any money, the bidding process was just a normal part of being a buyer.
Once the auctioneer came back to his senses, he immediately excitedly shouted.
"Two hundred million! Mr. Mike bids two hundred million. Is there anyone else bidding?"
After a few seconds of waiting and seeing no one else bid, the auctioneer began the countdown.
"Two hundred million, once. Two hundred million, twice..."
"Two hundred million, three times! Sold!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Mike, for winning the bid!"
This was, without a doubt, the most controversial auction item of the evening.
For a moment, Zhang Yang became the center of attention.
Even Leo, sitting in a corner, noticed Zhang Yang. But he didn't give it much thought, assuming he was just another rich guy who was in a good mood and simply liked the item.
"Shit! Two hundred million for a painting? The world of the rich really is beyond understanding!"
Leo casually muttered a complaint, his attention quickly back on the auction.
Whether it was two hundred million or three hundred million, it didn't matter much to him.
He was just waiting for Kaitō Kid to show up!
Outside the hotel, a BND agent rushed back from the front.
"Sir, we have an unusual report!"
"A person claiming to be an invited bidder for the auction wants to enter the auction site!"
The agent then handed over an invitation letter.
After Harrison examined the invitation, he started having doubts.
Instead of meeting the bidder, he walked straight to the hotel entrance with the invitation letter in hand.
He handed the letter over to a member of the Scorpio Security team.
"Check the authenticity of this invitation!"
At this point, even the Scorpio Security team was nervous about the situation outside the hotel.
After receiving the invitation letter, the Scorpio Security agent immediately input the details into the system to verify the entry permission.
However, the entry permission for this invitation had already been altered by Zhang Yang to be for the buyer "Mike".
Zhang Yang had already used this invitation to successfully enter the Nago Auction.
So, the invitation was now invalid, and the Scorpio Security team reported this back truthfully.
"Sir, this invitation may be a forgery. The system shows that the invited guest is Mr. Mike!"
Harrison thoughtfully took the invitation letter. The name of the invited buyer wasn't Mike, but someone called Alan P.
He immediately ordered the BND agents to pull up the identity information for Alan P. and the already entered Mike.
Within five minutes, the agents had retrieved both people's identity information.
Alan P. was the largest shareholder of a financial investment group, with significant assets under his name. But even with that, they couldn't confirm much yet.
However, Mike's identity information was extremely messy.
After matching the entry photos and names, BND's database showed no information about Mike.
"Just as I thought, this Mike is probably Kaitō Kid!"
Bruce was overjoyed by this discovery. It came very early, and it gave them a clear opportunity to catch Kaitō Kid.
"Harrison, let's move now!"
"Kaitō Kid probably still doesn't know we've figured out his disguise!"
Zhang Yang was secretly pleased. This feeling was so exhilarating.
"Ah, this feels amazing! My first time buying a collectible, and at such a high price!"
Though Zhang Yang hadn't actually intended to spend any money, the bidding process was just a normal part of the buyer's process.
Once the auctioneer came to his senses, he immediately shouted excitedly.
"Two hundred million! Mr. Mike bids two hundred million. Is there any other bid?"
After a few seconds of waiting and seeing no one else bid, the auctioneer began the countdown.
"Two hundred million once. Two hundred million twice..."
"Two hundred million, three times! Sold!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Mike, the winning bidder!"
This was, without a doubt, the most controversial auction item of the evening.
Zhang Yang quickly became the center of attention.
Even Leo, sitting in a corner, noticed Zhang Yang, but he didn't give it much thought. He simply assumed he was just another rich person in a good mood and with a special liking for the item.
"Shit! Two hundred million for a painting? The world of the rich is truly beyond comprehension!"
Leo casually muttered his complaint and returned his focus to the auction.
Whether it was two hundred million or three hundred million, it didn't matter much to him.
He was simply waiting for Kaitō Kid to show up!
Outside the hotel, a BND agent hurried back from the front.
