Zhuri Vaus glanced at her phone with a strange expression. However, she still quickly walked to the side and took the call.After a moment, she hung up and gave Harvey York a strange look. "Alright, enough. Stop eating."I'm taking you to the Wolsing Auction."There are plenty of things for you to eat at the auction."Harvey frowned. "Why are you suddenly taking me to some auction?"Zhuri replied with a frown. "Do you know who called me just now?"It's Hadlee."She said that Kartier and the others have thought it through."They believed that both sides were at fault last night so they're ready to apologize to you and consider this a compromise." I'm telling you, Kartier is a very prideful man."It's very rare for him to be willing to go to such length."You better be grateful for this."While Zhuri was saying that, she was still very suspicious of it. She still did not believe Kartier Failes was someone who could compromise so easily.She was thinking that perhaps Journi
"As expected of you, Mr. York!"You're so magnanimous!"Truly worthy of one who will lead the entire Country H Commercial Group!"I can already see how Country H Commercial Group will rise and expand under your leadership, Mr. York!Kartier Failes gave Harvey York a thumbs up."Alright, brothers and sisters. Let's go!"Let's celebrate how Mr. York will lead Country H Commercial Group into a new era and even greater heights!"The others started to chant loudly. "A new era! Greater heights!""Long live Mr. York!"As if Harvey had already become the chairman.The more Zhuri Vaus looked at it, the more Zhuri felt suspicious. Was that how Kartier and the others always were?No matter how she looked at it, it looked like it was all an act.She instinctively gave Harvey a look and hoped Harvey was not being too full of himself, that he would treat all of their fake praises as sincere.However, it seemed like Harvey really could not see through them and was beaming smiles. "I'll l
"Mr. York?"One of the men from Country J was slightly stunned before bending over and whispering something into Antonio's ears.When Antionio heard the words "Mr. York", his eyes showed a glint of interest.His lips curled into a meaningful smirk after listening to his subordinate's report. "Looks like the Country H Commercial Group has reached its end."Mr. Stanton is also dying."That's why he asked someone so young to inherit his place."Mr. York, is it?"Antonio suddenly asked as he looked at Harvey York."The Country H Commercial Group is our greatest competitor for Nova Corporation in the auction today."However, the person who came isn't Mr. Stanton, but a nameless man like you who came out of nowhere."Then, I'll make it clear right here and now."You better not compete with me and step in my way."Otherwise, I'll make sure you'll regret ever doing so."After that, Antonio waved his hand and arrogantly led his men into the auction house.When Harvey saw what had
Kartier explained in a whisper to Harvey, "You might not know this, Mr. York."But the organizer of this auction is the Thompson family, one of the ten top families in Wolsing. The true owner is one of the Four Young Masters of Wolsing, Hector."There's something peculiar about Mr. Thompson. He likes to collect all kinds of strange and wonderful treasures."He has a lot of connections in the antique industry through the use of his family's connections."That's why all the items that appear in the auction that he hosts are usually genuine and rare items."Of course, some of them are also from the black market."Since only an auction house of this level has the ability to deal with the things that cannot be brought to life."That's also why the security of this auction house is so strict."Harvey then said, "Looks like this auction house really is quite good with Hector personally overseeing this place.""That's right!" Kartier said with an inspired sigh. "The Four Young Masters
Mandy seemed to be whispering to Hector about something while looking at the catalog in her hand.She looked like she was very interested in something that was in the catalog.However, a figure stopped right in front of her a moment later.Mandy almost instinctively raised her head, surprised. She never thought that Harvey would suddenly appear in this place.Harvey ignored Hector who was sitting next to Mandy, and looked at her. "What a coincidence, Mandy."Hector put down the glass of champagne he was holding when he heard Harvey, a meaningful expression on his face.While Harvey's appearance here was a coincidence, it didn't mean much to Hector. He wasn't afraid of Harvey, anyway.Mandy glanced at Hector and, after some hesitation, asked as she blinked her eyes, "What is it?""Nothing much, but I simply want to tell you that… If you're here for the auction, I may be your best partner."Harvey smiled as he sounded like he was alluding to something else."It's fine," Mandy s
Zhuri was taken aback slightly. She thought Harvey was going to make a move against Hector, so she didn't reply immediately.Kartier, who was standing next to Zhuri, gave it a thought and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Thompson and Ms. Zimmer are here for the Eyed Bead. I heard it has a special meaning for the Zimmers.""The Eyed Bead?" Harvey mumbled.He had already given the nine Beads of Eyes to Mandy already. What was she up to auctioning for some Eyed Bead here today?Harvey took a deep breath after giving it a moment to calm his emotion down.He then waved his hand and led the others to the seats reserved for Country H Commercial Group without alerting anyone else.There was only about half an hour before the auction was going to start, and other attendees started to arrive.While Harvey was sitting at the seat reserved for the chairman of Country H Commercial Group, none of the waiting staff came to take care of him.Someone either had intentionally made it so, or someo
"Our next item."The Seal of the Monarch."According to the legends, during the height of the Dynasty of Prosperity, the then ruling monarchy in Country J was a tributary of the dynasty as well. They have then delivered their Seal of Monarchy to the dynasty."This represents a piece of history for Country J, but many in their country treat this as a history of humiliation."As the old man calmly explained the auctioned item, Harvey instantly knew that this was what the men from Country J were coming for.In the past few years, they had been claiming themselves as the world's greatest country. They wouldn't allow something as important as the Seal of the Monarch in Country H.That was why Antonio would use everything they had to fight for it.Meanwhile, the people from the Country H Commercial Group wanted to provoke Harvey to compete for the Seal of the Monarch.As expected, before Harvey had made any movements, Kartier had already bent over to Harvey's side and whispered, "Thi
"3 million!"As if he was able to feel the kindness from Hector, Antonio gave Harvey a look and moved his eyes away before raising his paddle up in the air.Seeing Antonio's action, the old man said, "We have 3 million from Mr. Lee."Do we have any higher bids?"Going once!"Going twice!"All the people from Country J gave Harvey a look of disdain while the auctioneer spoke.They all looked down on him, as if announcing to the world that Harvey had no right to compete with Antonio.Everyone else in the auction house remained silent.They all knew who Hector was.When he announced Harvey's 15 million dollar bid was void, it was enough for them to learn something from that action.It meant that Hector wanted to give a favor to Antonio, who wanted the seal at all costs. That was why he didn't want the bidding price of the Seal of the Monarch to be too high.Everyone there were smart people, and they wouldn't do something foolish. Whether they were interested in the seal or not
