Hans's heart bled; the higher the price soared, the greater the cost for him to redeem these artworks.
"One hundred and thirty million!" Seeing the price for "Gypsy Girl" slowly inching up, Hans hurriedly called out a high number, hoping to halt the bidding frenzy surrounding the painting.
But to Hans's despair, another voice sounded again: "One hundred and fifty million!"
Although "Gypsy Girl" possesses significant artistic value, its worth could never reach one hundred and fifty million. Even the one hundred and thirty million Hans had previously bid was already its price peak.
Hans's expression looked conflicted. He desperately wanted to obtain the painting, yet he was acutely aware that his funds were insufficient. If he spent too much on this first painting, he'd be unable to afford the subsequent ones!
