Is Skyreach Group really that clueless, or are they just etending?” someone muttered. “Three hundred million for a site with such terrible geography p>
“Young and naive p>
Killian glanced toward Ryan, lips curling into a cold smile.
Ignorant fool, he thought darkly. Ever since his exit from Goodman Corp, he’d been trying to acquire Skyreach Group. He’d sent people multiple times, only to be flatly rejected. Tonight, he planned to make them pay for crossing him.
Seeing no more bids, the auctioneer announced, “Solara Hillside-three hundred million once, three hundred million twice, three hundred million-sold p>
The gavel dropped.
“Sold to Skyreach Group for three hundred million p>
Killian sneered. “Congratulations to President Mu p>
The others quickly followed with polite applause.
Meanwhile, the auctioneer had already moved on to the second parcel.
This one was a coastal lot-surrounded by beautiful scenery, ideal for luxury housing. Developing the land into upscale residences would surely bring huge profits.
But Lilian wasn’t optimistic. She vaguely remembered that nothing had ever been built on that land. In the end, the government had turned it into green space.
The starting bid was set at 150 million.
As soon as the price was announced, the room buzzed with activity. Everyone agreed the location was desirable.
“One hundred sixty million p>
“One hundred seventy million p>
“Two hundred million,” Killian called.
“Three hundred million,” Ryan said casually, glancing over at Killian with a trace of mockery in his eyes.
Killian let out a cold snort and countered, “Four hundred million p>
“Five hundred,” Ryan replied without blinking.
“Six hundred p>
“Seven hundred p>

The crowd began to swallow nervously as the numbers Reapt by hundreds of millions, neither man backing down.
“Ten hundred million,” Killian finally declared.
All eyes turned to Ryan, waiting for his next move.
But instead, he simply smiled and said, “Since Mr. Killian seems so fond of this parcel, we’ll let him have it. I never really liked that plot anyway–I was just playing around p>
Killian froze, caught off guard. He hadn’t expected Ryan to bow out. The land was valuable, but spending a full billion on it was hard to justify. Worse, with no more funds from Goodman Corp, paying that amount might leave his company short on capital.
Then I’ll graciously accept,” Killian said bitterly.
The parcel was finally sold to Killian for ten billion.
After that, Killian withdrew from the rest of the bidding. Without his interference, the atmosphere grew noticeably friendlier.
Following Lilian’s cues, Ryan successfully acquired four parcels in total, spending around nine billion. altogether.
By the end of the auction, Skyreach Group had completely stolen the show. Everyone walked away with a new perspective on the company.
Nearly ten billion spent without batting an eye-Skyreach Group’s financial power was nothing short of stunning. And it only fueled the mystery surrounding the person behind it all.
After the auction concluded, Lilian quietly slipped out through the back to avoid unnecessary attention.
Gordon stood from his seat and walked over to Skyreach Group’s row. Turning to Ryan, he said, “You’ve got guts, young man. Do me a favor and tell your chairman when they have time, this old man would like to share a meal.” With that, he left with Jeremy.
The nearby guests were stunned. So the mysterious head of Skyreach Group actually knew Gordon?
Killian’s expression darkened as he watched Ryan. He just couldn’t figure it out. Who was behind Skyreach Group? Why would Gordon know them, but not him?
Looks like it’s time to dig deeper.
