Kelsey was right. If the Hall of the Underworld really wanted to seek revenge, the first to bear the brunt would certainly be the ones present here tonight. Since Philip could even mobilize a battle squad, he would not be afraid of them. However, they were not the same. They were just some affluent families from a city or region. They might be respected in the country, but on a global scale, especially in the West, the gap was really too big. Silence. The atmosphere was a little somber now. Wilbur Ellis quickly stepped out at this time and said with a smile, “Well then, the next program is our main event. Everyone is gathered here tonight for that item, right? Shall we start now?” It seemed like a question but Wilbur had already snapped his fingers. Instantly, all the main lights in the side hall were turned off, leaving a dim lamp in the middle of the jade round table. Everyone was staring intently at the center of the round table. They had almost forgotten about t
This was… For a while, everyone was flabbergasted. This was too much! The auction had not officially started but there were already bids! Moreover, Sheryl Larson’s first bid was already 500 million dollars! This was terrifying! Was this key really that valuable? It could even make Kelsey Clarke and the daughter of the Larson family do this! Sigmund frowned as he threw caution to the wind. He slammed the table and shouted, “Since it's something Miss Larson has her eye on, it's naturally something extraordinary. I’ll offer… 600 million dollars!” Sigmund Steele was only worth more than ten billion dollars, but he was bidding 600 million dollars in one go! This was a big deal! He was taking a gamble. Something that both Kelsey and Sheryl had their eyes on must be extraordinary. However, a mocking laugh was heard. “Patriarch Steele, you’re too stingy. Only 600 million dollars? Do you think we’ll let you off like this?” The person who spoke was a middle-aged fat man
Although they had never seen the Clarke family on Arcadia Island, they had learned about them through some channels. They were a true affluent family! They were the number one family in the world! The power of the Clarke family on Arcadia Island could even influence the economy of a small country! This was absolute strength! Thus, as soon as Kelsey spoke, the entire hall fell quiet. Even Sheryl Larson’s face was cold at this moment as she said nothing. After all, Kelsey had added another term—a favor from the branch Clarke family on Arcadia Island. This favor was priceless. Le Reverie would not refuse. Wilbur smiled and did not rush to make a final decision as though he was waiting for something. Kelsey’s face darkened as he asked, “Mr. Ellis, what’s the matter? No one else is bidding now and I’m the highest bidder. Why don't you just announce that the owner of this key is me, Kelsey Clarke?” Wilbur smiled and said, “Young Master Clarke, don’t be hasty. There’ll
Everyone was puzzled and looked at Wilbur Ellis. “Mr. Ellis, are you mistaken? Isn’t it Young Master Kelsey who’s getting this item? Why are you giving it to him?” The person who was kissing Kelsey’s *ss earlier asked with a face full of doubts at this moment. “Yes, Mr. Ellis, you must be mistaken!” “Who told you to take it? Young Master Kelsey has won the bid for this item. Hurry up and hand it over!” Someone glared at Philip with a flushed face, pointing at him while giving out the command. Before this, they were still standing on the same side as Philip. However, it was now every man for himself. One had to lament that there was an abundance of heartless people, and profit was paramount. Just as everyone targeted Philip, Wilbur interrupted and said with a smile, “Everyone, I’m not mistaken. This item has been sold to Young Master Philip Clarke.” Hearing this, everyone was shocked again! Was Wilbur Ellis out of his mind? Kelsey Clarke was the young master of the b
Thump! Everyone shuddered. What did Philip mean by that? Was he going to openly compete with the young master of the branch Clarke family on Arcadia Island? “Presumptuous! Young Master Clarke is the young master of the branch Clarke family on Arcadia Island. Who do you think you are? Don’t think you’re a big deal just because your last name is Clarke as well! In this world, only the Clarke family on Arcadia Island stands above the rest!” Mr. Chavez said angrily and spared no effort to suppress Philip. Following that, he turned his head to the sullen Kelsey and said, “Young Master Clarke, this guy is too arrogant. I suggest you teach him a lesson so that he understands your strength and means.” Kelsey’s heart choked with burning anger. He wanted to, but did he dare to do so? Smack! Kelsey slapped Mr. Chavez’s face and scolded him, “Nonsense! If I could do it, would I need you to teach me?” Mr. Chavez was baffled by Kelsey’s slap. He looked at him in confusion and asked
Everyone looked for the voice and saw an old man with a walking cane in a gray suit walking in from the door. The old man had gray hair at his temples. Although old, he was full of vigor! The aura radiating from the man made the atmosphere in the hall suddenly grow tense! Even from a few meters away, one could feel the man’s dormant aura that was as vast as an ocean! Behind him were four bodyguards in suits guarding him closely. At first glance, these four guards were not ordinary people but highly skilled elites. It was because their every move and their eyes conveyed a chilling and alarming intent! At one glance, Philip could sense that the power of these people was no less than the disciples of the Jensen family and not at all inferior to the Dragon Warriors! This old man was a formidable character! At the same time, everyone else was also full of doubts. They did not know the old man in front of them at all. However, Wilbur stepped forward, bowed respectfully to
“Old man, how dare you let your guard hit me? I won’t let this matter go. I’ll definitely tell my father to destroy your Le Reverie!” Kelsey whimpered and slurred. He was very angry, furious even! He had never been beaten before in his life! Of course, apart from being taught a lesson by Philip previously, this was his second time! He was the young master of the branch Clarke family. This old man Gilson dared to hit him and was not putting the branch Clarke family in his eyes at all! However... Pearce sneered and said, “Hehe, even if your father Christian Clarke were standing here, he would only say that I’ve done the right thing by hitting you.” This sentence shocked everyone in the side hall! For Pearce to say this, it went to show that he was not simple at all. Philip also gave Pearce a sideways glance. It seemed that this old man was not easy to deal with. Even the branch Clarke family did not mean anything to him. When Kelsey heard this, he immediately explod
At that moment, the entire crowd in the side hall was flabbergasted! All of them stared at the bemused Philip in horror! Philip quickly said to Pearce at this time, “Old sir, you don’t have to be so polite. Since you were the Clarke family’s teacher, I’m your junior.” Pearce nodded with a smile and commented, “Sure enough, a true diamond can only be found in the rough. Young Master Clarke, you’re a man of great talent. With an heir like you, the Clarke family can surely persevere for generations to come.” Hearing these words, the others who were still in shock quickly greeted Philip, “Young Master Clarke!” Mr. Chavez from earlier completely lost his composure at this moment. He quickly ran to Philip and said, “I’m sorry, Young Master Clarke. I was too ignorant just now. If I’ve offended you in any way, I hope you can be generous and overlook my recklessness.” With that said, Mr. Chavez bowed with a humble attitude. Philip simply glanced at him and said, “Mr. Chavez, there
