"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
With a smile, Harvey continued to speak with Antonio."If you like it that much… If you're really sure it's meant to be yours… Just continue with the bidding."As for me, I've already bid 150 million dollars. I believe everyone has heard it."I have so much money, I can afford to spend some more money when I see an antique that I like. What?"Is there a problem?"Should I write a report for you before I use my money?"Harvey said everything calmly and in a relaxed manner. While he wasn't intentionally mocking them, he was completely trampling on Antonio and the others' dignity of the ground.And Hector, who opened his mouth to stop Harvey, also suffered the same damage to his reputation.All the attendees of the auction had revealed a knowing smile on their faces.Since Hector was going to openly give the seal back to Country J through an auction, then he should have foreseen that this might have happened. Not everyone was willing to show the Thompson of Wolsing the dignity th
"You…"The men and women of Country J could only grind their teeth in anger when they heard Harvey's bid.Even Antonio, who had been acting relaxed all this while, could no longer control himself.He stood up and narrowed his eyes at Harvey's direction, and said slowly, "I don't care if you're the real Mr. York or fake Mr. York, young man. But you must understand what kind of consequences there are for stirring up trouble on purpose.""Stirring up trouble on purpose?"Harvey simply shrugged."Can't you see? I really like this seal, and that's why I continually bid on it. Haven't you heard of the saying about a real man won't keep another from his prize?"When Antonio heard what Harvey had said, his face flushed in anger.He was the one who’s supposed to use that saying!But in the end?By saying that, Harvey was humiliating him openly.Harvey couldn't be bothered to listen to Antonio's threat, and gave the auctioneer a glance. "You've delayed long enough. Shouldn't you conti
Harvey then continued to question the auction house."Everyone in this world knows if there's one thing that's true about the auction houses…"Is that the highest bidder wins."If I can bid 300 million dollars, then I can bid up to 450 million dollars, and even 600 million dollars!"But the Wolsing Auction House immediately stopped me from making my bid and gave the auction item to Antonio."And now, you’re saying I'm making trouble?"And you're talking about rules?"What rules?"Once this news spreads out, we'll see how much reputation the Wolsing Auction House retains."To make it plainly, you're sacrificing the consignor's benefits so you can please the people from Country J."Backed by a top ten family? I spit on you."If the other top families know that they're being put together with traitorous scumbags such as yourself, they'll be so disgusted that they won't be able to eat for months!"Harvey didn't show any sign of stopping at all as he said all his words clearly,
"Ha…"At this time, Hector's cold laugh came from the VIP room. He looked like someone sitting on the top of the mountain looking down at the critters down below."Are you threatening my family using the Country H Commercial Group? How naive!"Seeing that you do have some ability and how you demand the truth, as well as for Ms. Mandy's sake… I will give you an explanation."There was a sneer in Hector's voice, but he was also making it sounded like doing this was beneath him."First of all, according to the news that I've received, the reason you're here tonight is so you could cause trouble for Antonio. You just want to upset him."You don't like the Seal of the Monarch at all, because you're simply here to start a commotion."I also have my reasons to suspect that you don't have that much money, anyway."If the bid defaulted because of you, I would rather fix the bidding price at the agreed value and settle it then and there."Secondly, I personally found this seal from a fl
Harvey looked at this name strangely. He couldn't understand why Mandy would appear together with Hector.But for Mandy to give himself a missed call at this critical juncture… Was it a warning? Or a plea to calm down?When the thought crossed his mind, Harvey stopped having the desire to continue causing a ruckus.The main reason he was here was to give these Country H Commercial Group's nepo babies a lesson.Seeing that they had learned enough today, he supposed he had time to observe.As for Hector… Well, there was no rush.As he finished processing his thought, Harvey gave Zhuri and the others a glance and said, "Fine. I'm doing this for your sake."Let's go."When Zhuri and the others heard his words, they all slightly sighed in relief.As for the others… They originally just wanted to watch a show. But when it came to shows, there was a point the climax should cool down. It would be best if someone take a step back.If the two sides really do start to fight, then they
"The Sutra of Nourishment is a technique that used to be very popular back in our country's history."According to the legends, the so-called Hermeticism that was practiced back in pre-Romulus Dynasty is this."However, our people lost the knowledge of it around the year 200. We have only unearthed it recently from the tomb of an ancient king. And this is the original artifact."According to the experts that the Thompson family has invited from the Sacred Martial Art Training Ground, the Sutra of Nourishment isn't a Martial Art technique and can't transform one into an elite…"But its benefit stems from the fact that anyone can learn it even without any foundation."Once one has mastered it, not only can it strengthen one physically, it can even extend one's life."One of the seneschals serving the Thompson family had already personally learned it. It's very effective and despite his advanced age, his hair is starting to turn black."According to our appraisal, those who have ma
In simpler terms, the so-called climax of the auction had become nothing but a joke.If Hector allowed the auction to continue, whoever that had bid for the Sutra of Nourishment would instantly find out that he was the world's greatest fool once he compared the content in the scroll and what Harvey had recited.If that happened, the reputation of the Wolsing Auction House would truly be ruined!Not only that, no matter how powerful the Sutra of Nourishment was, once those people knew the content, it would lose its original value.What was the point of having an ancient scroll other than treating it as an antique?Harvey knew after what he did, it would make Hector fall into a state of anxiety. He would also damage Wolsing Auction house's reputation greatly.That was why he chose to leave immediately.Half an hour later, Kartier and the others immediately sent Harvey back to the five-star hotel that he was staying in.After sending him back, Kartier and the others all disappeare
