287 Expo 1783 (final)

Having lost the bidding war twice, Emperor Shang was now more than ever fixated on winning the aircraft no matter the cost.

Just like with the howitzer, only Shang Fu, Ouyang Zen, and Shen Ling bid for Yak-130. 

And just like the previous bidding war, Ouyang Zen was the first to exit as the price crossed 12 million. However, neither Sheng Ling nor Shang Fu looked like they were going to stop.

Soon, the price raised to 15 million, then, 16, and then, 17 without any pause. Mark's heartbeat was also beating at its peak in excitement. He felt like he will pass out due to a blood rush at any moment.

The clan leaders just stared at their Emperor in a daze as the price crossed 20 million, which is more worth than the entire 12 major clans' net worth combined.
