The spotlight sears your vision, washing the world into a stark, blinding white. The atmosphere hangs heavy with the scent of opulent perfume and the sharp, coppery edge of panic—your own. A low murmur drifts from the shrouded audience, punctuated by the crisp snap of bidding paddles. Figures roll from the auctioneer's tongue: half a million, a million, three. Each one lands like a blow to your ribs. Then, from the darkness at the back, a silhouette rises. He doesn't lift a paddle. He simply states, "Twenty-five million." The room holds its breath. The auctioneer's hammer falls. Now, those cool, assessing eyes are locked on you, and he is already moving toward the stage, each step measured and deliberate.
