Owen froze for a moment before angrily rebuking, "What do you mean it's over?! That land is mine now! I've already won the bid—I have full development rights!"
He had sacrificed so much to secure that land, and now they were saying it was worthless? What kind of nonsense was this?!
The assistant looked utterly devastated. "It's over precisely because it's yours! That land... that land sits on top of an ancient burial site..."
The moment those words fell, the entire auction hall fell into dead silence.
A burial site…?
The land in South City had a massive ancient burial ground beneath it?!
A loud boom echoed in Owen's mind, as if his brain had exploded.
His face drained of color in an instant as he lunged forward, grabbing the assistant by the collar, his eyes bloodshot with fury.
"What the hell are you talking about?! There's no way there's a burial site beneath that land!"
