Madam Marie blinked at him as if thinking about it. A pause later, she said, "Including my grandfather's collection, there are ten
rooms' worth of antiques in this manor. If you don't mind, Mister Penn, I'd like to sell each room's collection for one billion dollars.
Ten rooms would cost a total of ten billion dollars."
"Ten billion?"
Wilbur frowned, but Harold was quicker to speak up. "Madam Marie, Mister Albus said that the collections in the ten rooms were

surely be worth well over fifty billion dollars. You..."
"Enough, Harold," Madam Marie said, looking at Harold with red-rimmed eyes. "You know how severe Dad's illness is. No one but
Mister Penn is going to buy all these antiques in one go, and | need the money now. | can't wait any longer."
"I'm sorry, Madam."
Harold bowed in apology to Marie, retreating to the side wordlessly.

imagine if the collection of antiques might be worth even more than fifty billion.
"I'd like to take a look at the collection first. Would that be alright?"
"Yes, of course."
Marie led Wilbur and Tina to the ten rooms, opening them one by one. "These are my father and grandfather's collections, Mister
Penn. | really hope you'll be able to helpout."

are worth it, | won't turn down this offer."
