“If Jake’s sudden wealth really has nothing to do with the Lumiere Divine Cup, why didn’t he throw it away? He became rich all of a sudden, but his career plummeted when he was 59 years old. That was because he lost it at that time,” the auctioneer added. The crowd under the stage inside the hall inevitably believed Jake’s story had something to do with the Lumiere Divine Cup. Still, many wondered why the bosses of Kingzillion Casino were not saving it for themselves. With the increasingly loud noises, the auctioneer said with a smile, “Have you heard of this saying, a nobleman helps others to achieve their goals? The Lumiere Divine Cup should be given to those who need it. Besides, with the owner of Kingzillion Casino’s current status, do you think they are short of money?” After the auctioneer finished his sentence, he stared pointedly at the person next to him. Within an instant, the lights were off, and the main hall turned pitch black. The vintage wine glass glowed in
“Fine. We’re not going to talk about money. We’ll do things based on my last sentence.” Ivanka was caught out by Michael’s question. She paused for a moment before continuing. Michael did not say anything else. Ivanka assumed his silence as admission. “200 million dollars.” Mr. George offered 200 million dollars for the Lumiere Divine Cup. Mr. Jacob got agitated and said to his lackeys, “Whatever Mr. George bids for tonight, follow him. Don’t worry about the money. I’ll pay for everything.” “300 million dollars.” “500 million dollars.” Mr. George added 200 million dollars to his bid. He got agitated. They were wealthy men. The moment they decided to bid for an auction lot, and with somebody else bidding the same lot with them, things got rough. They would try to oppress the other party. After all, regardless of the amount of money spent, it was their dignity that mattered the most. After Mr. George increased his bid by 200 million dollars, Mr. Jacob refused to admit def
As Ivanka expected, the minimum opening bid for the Ganoderma nebula had changed. It was no longer 100 million dollars but 500 million dollars. Many people came from far away just to bid for the famous Ganoderma nebula. It was impossible for humans not to fall sick, and wealthy men wanted to live a long life or even become immortals. “1 billion dollars.” The man inside the private room that had successfully bid for the Golden Burial Suit raised his bid card. His room was opposite Ivanka and Michael’s. Even though the rooms were separated, they were opposite each other, so Ivanka and Michael could see everything inside the private room. Aside from seeing a tall, tanned bodyguard in a black suit inside the private room, they saw no one else. However, Ivanka noticed a raising hand behind the black beaded curtain. It was a man’s hand. He wore a black suit and was big-boned. The man did not reveal himself. But undeniably, he was filthy rich, and powerful. He had successf
Was this… the same person? When this thought flashed through Ivanka’s mind, the man with the silver-white mask had already turned around. Ivanka felt that no matter what, this man with the silver-white mask was no ordinary person. She was about to talk to Micheal about this when she heard a knock on their private room’s door. Michael gave Evan a look. Evan went to open the door. The host was making a speech for the auction’s closing ceremony. But at the moment, they were more concerned about the person seeking them out. The door opened. Several tall men in black suits with the same buzz-cut hair appeared in front of them. One of the men who was more tanned stepped forward. He nodded toward Ivanka as he said, “Are you Ms. Lane? We’re from Kingzillion Casino. Our boss would like to see you.” “If there’s anything he wants, he can come here and say it in person,” Michael instantly frowned and said coldly. He had seen that man once before on the rooftop. That man did not s
Chiara was calling. Tanya was still furious. Then, she remembered Chiara said that she would make the plans for tonight. But she had waited for her plans till after the auction had ended. Everyone had left too. How was she supposed to meet Michael anymore? “Are you toying with me?” Tanya spat. “I’m not. I’ve arranged for everything. Isn’t Michael in the room next to yours? He just drank some spiked wine. If you go over there now, wouldn’t this be a perfect chance encounter?” Chiara’s cute young girl’s voice made her sound so innocent. As soon as Tanya heard this, her eyes lit up. “Are you sure? You aren’t just trying to make me happy, right?” After all, the auction was already over. It was normal for Tanya to question it. However, she was still hopeful after hearing these words. If Chiara did not lie to her, then this would be the perfect chance encounter. This way, she could blame Michael for the loss of her virginity, even though that was not true. When the time
His throat was unusually dry. His gut felt tight. There was a rush of heat coming from within him. Even though the air conditioning was turned on in the room, his whole body still felt hot. Considering his situation, it was obvious that there was something wrong with the drink he just had. Michael’s expression grew sullen as he immediately took out his phone and dialed Xander’s number. He was in Mirvania. Xander was back at home. There was a time zone difference. However, it so happened that Xander was on-call in the hospital today. When he received Michael’s call, he frowned slightly. He was a little surprised. “Yeah?” Based on the current time, Michael should be lying down and resting in Mirvania. His intuition told him that Michael’s call meant that something was not right, considering the hour. In the next second, he heard Michael gasp while saying, “I’ve been drugged with an aphrodisiac. How do I deal with it?” Xander frowned slightly. Michael was so careful. How
Jackie stared at Evan sternly. The anger in his eyes was obvious. In his opinion, Evan was nothing more than a dog by Michael’s side. Michael only seemed rich and powerful because his boss allowed Michael to do so out of courtesy! If not for his boss not wanting to hold them responsible, how could they have possibly left the casino alive that day? Evan’s face instantly became somber. He also understood that Kingzillion Casino was the largest casino in Mirvania. There was no way it would be able to make it to this point if they did not have some real authority and power. There was no need for Kingzillion Casino to deny having done such a thing. If the casino’s boss did not ask to meet Ivanka, then it must have been someone else! “Thank you for letting me know. Something has happened on our end. As assurance, we’ve already paid up to one-third of the ten trillion dollars. We’ll settle the remaining payment after we’ve finished handling the problem on our end. If you’re stil
“It’s a coincidence,” the man standing across from her said indifferently. He wore a black mask. Although it only showed his jaw and chin, he appeared cold and aloof. Those dark eyes did not hold any warmth in them either. Ivanka saw him and the people behind him put away their guns. “You think I’d believe that?” Ivanka scoffed at once. If he showed up alone and said it was a coincidence, she would have believed him. But this man brought his men and dealt with those who were trying to kill her. He was ruthless and decisive. Who would bring so many people along with them if they were to save someone by “coincidence”? “I happened to know that someone is trying to harm you. Is this how you treat your savior?” Alexander could not help but narrow his eyes. He stared at Ivanka, who looked indifferent, in front of him. This woman really was not grateful at all! If he had been any later, Eleanor’s men would have already taken her life. Then, they would have recorded the
