The Curtain Rises on the Grand Finale!

(There'll be another chapter in 40 minutes. It's May Day—this old man is going all out! Let's do this!)

The strangely quiet atmosphere amid all this bustle made Nuonuo try to steady her breathing.

Her thumbs twisted together unconsciously.

Mu Fan noticed the unusual movement of Nuonuo's fingers and gently opened his eyes, turning toward her.

"Nuonuo, how much money did you raise to buy it back?"

The delicate girl turned to look at Mu Fan, lightly biting her lower lip as she whispered, "1.4 billion Star Coins. That's all the liquid capital I can access right now. One-third of it was even advance payment for goods Maika provided."

As long as she could reclaim the gift she had given him, she would not hesitate to spend every last Star Coin.

If they wanted money, she could give it to them!

Hearing the girl's determined yet innocent words, Mu Fan's heart suddenly lurched.

This was kind-hearted Nuonuo...

Closing his eyes, Mu Fan let out a long breath.

Seeing Mu Fan's strange reaction, Nuonuo asked softly in confusion, "Sir, are you all right?"

Shaking his head, Mu Fan opened his eyes. The girl's reflection filled his dark pupils.

He smiled gently. "I'm fine."

After saying that, Mu Fan's gaze finally calmed. He took a deep breath and looked straight at the girl across from him. Only when Nuonuo lowered her head shyly did he speak softly.

"When it comes to the mecha later, I hope you'll handle it your way. All right?"

Nuonuo was stunned for a moment, then determination flashed through her eyes. Through the thin veil, the girl nodded vigorously.

"All right!"

There was no reason why. She chose to trust him.

Just as she had trusted him from the very beginning.

The auction continued at an unhurried pace.
