Chapter 676


    All eyes were fixed on the representatives of Divine Corporation. After all, only the Nacht group would


    be capable ofpeting with Lindberg Corporation.


    Lucy quickly returned to her senses and whispered into Johann''s ear, "Mr. Nacht instructed us not to


    bid any higher than two hundred and sixty billion. Shall we consult with him?"


    "Call him," Johann replied.


    "Understood." Lucy immediately strode off to a corner and dialed Zachary''s number.


    Everyone at the scene anticipated the Nacht Group''s next move, but the youngdy from Lindberg


    Corporation seemed rather impatient. Raising her eyebrows, she made a bold statement, "What? Are


    we giving them time to hold an


    emergency meeting?"


    "Well..." The auctioneer turned to look at the organizer of the auction.


    The organizer smiled awkwardly and exined, "That''s not the case..." But he trailed off as he met the


    youngdy''s cold, piercing stare.


    "ording to the standard protocol, the longest we can wait is sixty seconds," the organizer of the


    auction quickly added.

    The imposing youngdy then did a gesture.


    Immediately, the organizer gave his response, "The countdown starts now!"


    "Okay." With that, a digital timer appeared on the projector screen.


    Concurrently, the auctioneer announced, "Lindberg


    Corporation offers three hundred billion. Any other bidders?"


    No one in the room dared make a bid. Some even kept their paddles and made themselves


    Meanwhile, Johann sneaked a few nces at thedy from Lindberg Corporation. Her face was the


    same as that of Charlotte years ago, but the aura she exuded waspletely different.


    The domineering and haughty demeanor she had disyed previously could not have been done by


    Charlotte, the good-willed but clumsy girl.


    So who the hell is she?


    While Lucy watched the digital timer intently, she felt increasingly anxious as each second ticked by.


    "Mr. Nacht, please answer the phone... Please


    answer the phone!" She mumbled to herself.


    On the other hand, the charismaticdy from Lindberg Corporation simply sat on the sofa and twirled


    her wine ss with grace as she waited for thest thirty seconds to tick by.


    Her lips were slightly curled up. "It seems like Divine Corporation isn''t all too serious about bidding for


    this particr piece ofnd. So why are we still wasting time like this?" she taunted.


    "Youngdy, our president has been keeping a low profile for personal reasons, not because he isn''t


    serious about business. Let uspete fairly at this auction. We''ll abide by the rules, so please have


    patience." Johann sounded rather cordial and calm.


    "I''m not impatient." The youngdy smirked, raising an eyebrow. "It''s just that even if Zachary Nacht


    were here, he wouldn''t be able to pay three


    hundred billion!"


    As soon as she uttered herst sentence, the atmosphere in the room became awkward.


    After all, the Nacht Group had stayed on top in the industry for many years, so nobody dared to even


    offend them in the slightest.


    Therefore, everyone was surprised when the youngdy had the guts to utter really bold words.


    However, it was not an entirely unthinkable turn of events since she was from the Lindberg family.


    The Lindberg family and the Nacht family were sworn rivals. Their assets and influence were


    families prospered peacefully without any direct confrontations, but the youngdy of the Lindberg


    family seemed keen on breaking the peace.


    "Youngdy, that is no way to speak!" Johann''s brows were furrowed, and he turned a little more stern.


    "The Nacht Group..."


    "Oh, you''re so noisy!" The youngdy was also frowning with an irritated look. "Is the time up yet?"


    "Ms. Lindberg, there''s ten more seconds," the female bodyguard reported.


    On the stage, the auctioneer tried to liven up the room once more. "Lindberg Corporation offers three


    hundred billion. Any other bidders?"


    There was no response.


    "If there''s no other bidder, we shall just wait for Divine Corporation''s response." The auctioneer turned


    to look at Johann.


    Johann gave Lucy a steely look.


    Lucy pointed at her phone with beads of sweat dripping from her forehead. Her call had not gone


    through yet. Mr. Nacht should be at thepany at this time, but why isn''t he picking up?


    "Three seconds left..." The auctioneer announced.


    "Can''t we wait a little longer..." Just as Lucy uttered those words, Zachary finally answered the call.
