Chapter 322 Mr. Anderson Pays for the Entire Venue!
"$5 million? That's a ton of cash!"
"I'll never see that kind of money in my life, but this rich kid just throws it around like it's pocket change!"
The crowd on the first deck buzzed with envy and jealousy.
"It's Mr. Moore!"
Seeing Liam, Pippa's eyes lit up. "I can't believe Mr. Moore is interested in our Clementine! This is a huge break for her! Clementine, say hello to Mr. Moore!"
"Hello, Mr. Moore!"
Clementine turned and gave a slight bow towards the third deck, feeling a bit shy. She had become an internet sensation not only because of her talent in classical dance and her good looks but also thanks to the studio's management. So, she always listened to Pippa.
Looking at Clementine, Liam liked her more and more, feeling a growing desire. He couldn't wait to sign her and take her to a hotel room to experience some earthly pleasures.
"I just said, $5 million for two years. Have you thought it over?" Liam's gaze shifted to her manager, Pippa.
"After signing, I'll arrange for her to be a streamer on my platform for the first year. In the second year, I'll introduce her to the acting world, making movies. With my family's resources backing her, she'll definitely become a star!"
"This is an opportunity!" Pippa's eyes shone even brighter. "Mr. Moore, I'll go prepare the contract right away."
She started to walk away.
"I'll offer $7 million." A calm voice suddenly floated over.
The entire yacht fell silent, and everyone looked at the source of the voice.
It was a young man sitting on the first deck, his gaze as calm as water.
"Are you nuts?" The young man next to Noah glared at him, looking at him like he was an idiot. "The bid from the third deck is from Liam of the Moore family from the East Coast. Are you trying to get yourself killed? And can you even afford $7 million?"
The other guests looked at Noah like he was insane. After all, the $5 million bid came from Liam, a member of a prestigious family from the East Coast. Most people here were like ants compared to him.
Noah raising the bid now—was he out of his mind?
Clementine glanced at Noah in surprise. She remembered him from the highway rest stop, where he had offered her an umbrella to shield her from the rain. She hadn't expected to run into him here.
"Kid, it's you?" Pippa also recognized Noah, her eyes full of mockery. "You drive a van. Can you really afford $7 million? Stop causing trouble!"
On the third deck, Liam and his companions looked down at Noah with cold indifference, not bothering to speak. To them, Noah was from a completely different world. Noah's words were like an ant mocking a person walking down the street—completely beneath their notice.
"Mr. Moore, don't mind the words of a poor man. About that $5 million..." Pippa smiled apologetically at Liam, worried that Noah's antics might make Liam back out of the deal.
"Go prepare the contract," Liam said indifferently.
"Alright!" Pippa started walking again.
"$10 million." Noah gave a new offer.
This time, the entire place fell into a dead silence. Even a pin drop could be heard.
"Kid, are you an idiot?" Pippa turned back, glaring at Noah. "$10 million? Look at yourself! Do you have that kind of money? Stop trying to get attention!"
"$10 million?"
On the third deck, Liam finally showed some interest, looking at Noah with amusement. "Kid, let's be real. Your entire outfit probably doesn't cost more than $200! If you could really afford $10 million, you'd be on the second deck at least, not the first. If you want to raise the bid, you need to prove you have the capital to back it up."
Liam quietly observed Noah. Everyone else also watched Noah, waiting for him to make a fool of himself. Liam was right. Someone who could afford $10 million wouldn't be sitting on the first deck of the Intoxicated Red Boat.
Noah nodded. "If you want proof, then I'll prove it."
There are times to be low-key, as flaunting wealth can invite trouble. But there are also times to be high-key, or you'll be looked down upon.
Noah pulled out a gold card and handed it to the nearby server. "Charge it. I'll cover all expenses tonight."
The server hesitated. Though she had some disdain for Noah, he was still a guest, and she had to provide good service. "Sir, please wait a moment."
The server went into a room and returned two minutes later with a card reader. "Sir, the total for tonight's tickets is $1.02 million, plus the food and drinks for the second and third decks, totaling $1.46 million."
"Charge it," Noah said.
"This kid is joking, right? Can he really afford $1.46 million?"
"Yeah, he's still pretending!"
"Look at his calm expression. He's really good at acting. What a waste if he doesn't become an actor."
Everyone watched Noah with amusement. The server took the card and inserted it into the reader. "Sir, please enter your PIN."
Noah entered the PIN. The receipt printed out from the card reader. $1.46 million, transaction successful!
"This..."
"It actually went through!"
"No way, he's really that rich!"
Everyone was stunned.
"Sir, please sign your name." The server handed Noah the receipt and a pen, her eyes now showing a hint of admiration. This Noah was incredibly wealthy. Which family in Silverlight City did he belong to?
Noah signed his name on the receipt. "Noah Anderson."
Seeing Noah's name, the server's eyes flickered. There was no Anderson family in Silverlight City. But regardless, Noah was definitely a wealthy man.
"Tonight's expenses are covered by Mr. Anderson!" The server announced loudly to the crowd.
"Awesome!"
"Sweet! Free dinner!"
The crowd cheered, especially those on the first deck, who were ecstatic. Someone paying for their meal—how could they not be happy?
Noah looked calmly at Liam on the third deck. "Does this prove I have the means to raise the bid?"
"This kid is really going head-to-head with Mr. Moore!" The crowd watched in disbelief.
"Of course!" Pippa immediately smiled at Noah. The higher the bid, the more she earned.
"Kid, you're tough! I'll bid $10 million!" Liam's eyes showed anger. "Do you even know who I am? I'm from the Moore family on the Eastern Eagleland. Are you sure you want to compete with me?"
"$20 million," Noah said calmly.
