“River North Corporation and other companies are out as well. I heard they messed with the wrong person from Mountain Dew Estate. I believe it is the new owner. They are all thrown out already.” “Who is the new owner of the estate? Is he that powerful?” “Who cares, it’s none of our business. The auction is more important now.” The tumultuous crowd was silenced all of a sudden as several people walked inside. Narian was in the lead, followed by his assistant and others. “Mr. Narian Lee, you’re finally here! The Sunrise Lees had a harvest this time!” A group of people went up to Narian, flattering him with sugar-coated words. “Nonsense. We are the Lee family from the capital and we are rich! Lilyrose is just a small city! Who is capable of fighting us here? Who has the nerve to compete against us?” Narian spewed nothing but arrogance the moment his lips moved. He looked down on the people who surrounded them, showing no respect for them. Despite being looked down on,
Narian then walked away with arrogant cackles. Darcy became worried. She had a feeling that Narian would target her during the auction later. “Don’t worry, Darcy. He’s just a clown. He won’t be able to make fun of anyone soon,” Kaze said. Darcy simply hummed a reply. “My entrepreneur friends, let us begin the auction today!” The auctioneer’s voice came from the podium. The floor was silenced immediately. “The first property on our auction list today is Genting Limited, starting with twenty million with each increase no less than one hundred thousand…” The first on the list was the company that Quarter Group aimed for. Genting Limited was not a big company but its business would complement Quartet Group’s shortcomings. Darcy could merge the companies if she could get it. She did some research with her team about Genting Limited and believed they had a good chance to win the bidding. Many bidders were from big companies and they had their eyes on bigger or same sc
“Genting Limited, sold to Lee Corporation!” The mallet was slammed on the podium. The auction continued. Several smaller companies were put on auction, which were all Quartet Group’s targets, yet every single one of them was won by Narian with one extra dollar. With Lee Corporation on their back, Quartet Group could not even win a single bid! After the first round of auction, the attendees were given five minutes of break. Narian strode over with a condescending manner and grinned. “Darcy, I told you I’ll show you what a powerful man is so that you can make up your mind to leave this useless trash here. Now you see what I can do. Hahaha!” “Narian Lee, don’t get ahead of yourself!” Darcy was fuming, but helpless. She could not compete against the Lee family’s wealth. “It seems like you haven’t made up your mind, Darcy. I’ve decided.” Narian grinned widely and continued, “I will block every bid that you place and with that, I will make you remember what I am capable o
“We’re going home! I’m not staying to let Narian make a fool out of all of us!” Darcy said angrily. She attended the auction for nothing. Quartet Group was not able to win any bids. “Don’t worry. He won’t be talking for long. I said I will bid Sky Ocean Corporation for you.” Kaze tried to hold her back and bring her back to the seat. “Are you going or not? If not, I’m going.” Darcy shook his hand off and strode away. She was angry because she felt helpless in front of Narian. “Mr. Lee, are we leaving?” Riley asked carefully. She knew how powerful Kaze was. Kaze was the owner of Clover Center, where Quartet Group’s office was located. After observing Darcy for a while, Riley realized that she did not know how rich or powerful her husband was. “Leave? Not until I smack Narian in the face,” Kaze said angrily. “Now, let the bidding begin,” the auctioneer said. “Three billion.” Narian’s assistant made the first bid. “Three billion, going once.” Narian then lo
Narian’s brows twitched as his eyes widened. His assistant could even hear him grinding his teeth out of anger. Everyone else on the floor gasped. Kaze was messing with Narian the wrong way! All of them shot a sympathetic gaze at Kaze because getting Narian mad would result in nothing. With the Lee family’s wealth and influence in the capital, there was no way Kaze was his match. Instead, Narian would hold a grudge and it would not end well for Kaze. “3.1 billion!” Narian raised the sign and pushed the bidding price higher. He then shouted at Kaze, “Come on, trash! Go on!” “Go on.” Kaze waved at Riley without even looking at Narian. “3.1 billion and one dollar!” Riley said. “Four billion!” Narian was fuming already. Everyone on the floor was shocked. Due to Kaze’s annoying bidding strategy, Narian got so angry that he increased ten million in his bidding price. “Trash! I’ve put in another ten million but I will make Shangrila Group and Quartet Group pa
“Let’s talk about the other procedures when we go back. I have to go find my wife.” Kaze stood up as all eyes were on him. He stretched and wanted to leave the auction and what he said left everyone speechless. He spent five billion to purchase Sky Ocean Corporation and he looked like he had just bought a toy. “Oh, right.” At the exit, Kaze suddenly turned around and pointed at Narian. He had never taken Narian seriously throughout the entire auction except now. He said, “Useless.” He then walked away without turning back. He was not loud at all but he spoke clearly. Compared to Narian’s shouting earlier, Kaze’s nonchalant demeanor felt more powerful and indubitable. “HUH? What the fuck? He called me useless?! Why? Based on what?!” Narian was furious, even his expression turned ugly. The entire floor was filled with his furious shouts. He was called useless by Kaze, the one who everyone called a useless trash. Aggrieved, Narian almost teared up due to his
“Don’t worry, it’s going to be fine. Just stay in the car.” Kaze tapped Darcy’s hand and then got out of the car. He then leaned against the car and waited. The four men were slightly surprised. They thought Kaze would lock the door and call for help, but he got out of the car instead. The men approached him. They dragged the baseball bats along the asphalt road, causing irritating screeches. “Who sent you?” Kaze asked. Even though his first thought was Narian, there were a number of people who got into a conflict with him in Mountain Dew Estate. “You should know who did you mess with,” said one of the men. “Someone wanted us to break your legs. You want to do it yourself, or we have to do it with our bats?” One of the men then handed Kaze the baseball bat, looking at him with a contemptuous grin. Kaze saw their bulging muscles. The men were obviously trained, which explained their boldness. “I’ll do it myself.” Kaze reached out to the baseball bat. Swoosh
Crack! Before the man could finish, Kaze stomped on his leg. “Aaaargh!” The man screamed in pain once more. Kill him and abduct Darcy. Kaze knew exactly what Narian was trying to achieve. “Narian, you bastard!” Back in the car, Darcy, who was mortified, shouted angrily, “Kaze, let’s call the police.” “I’m afraid he will be released after one day he’s arrested.” Kaze denied her suggestion. He looked at the man on the ground. “Call Narian and tell him the job is done. Tell him to come over.” The man was still suffering from a broken leg but he dared not defy Kaze anymore. He endured the pain and made a call to Narian. “Sir, it’s done.” “You got Darcy already? Great! Nicely done. I’m on my way.” Narian hung up the phone with an evil laugh. A while later, a motorcade consisting of expensive cars came down from the estate. Narian came out of his car and went over to the scene. He realized only one of his men remained conscious and everyone was injured. He
