It was ten million!Ten million dollars was not a small amount for any scion of a family.The female auctioneer on stage was stunned at the moment.She could not imagine that Sean was willing to bid ten million for this bronze fragment.Did he really think that this seemingly ordinary antique fragment was worth more than ten million?Or was he just flexing at the rich young man in the upstairs private room?If it was the latter, then the cost was too high!“Mr. Fifty-six, offers... offers ten million, is there anyone offering higher...?”The female auctioneer hurriedly asked, but her voice was trembling.To be honest, although she was very excited when the Seven Star Sword was auctioned for 20 million before, she was not as excited as she was now.After all, the estimated transaction price of the Seven Star Sword was between six million and eight million, although it finally sold for a sky-high price of 20 million, it was only more than double, not even triple.However, such
“Ms. Lisha, Commander Lennon, are you satisfied with today’s auction?”Harvey walked over with a smile on his face and asked.Sean nodded and said, “Yes, we're very satisfied. It was excellent.”Hearing this, Harvey breathed a sigh of relief.During today's auction, someone intentionally caused trouble and competed with Sean.As the organizer of the auction, Harvey could not interfere under the rules, so Sean had to handle it on his own.Fortunately, Sean was wealthy enough to successfully bid on the third fragment of the ancient bronze sword. Otherwise, the fragment would have fallen into someone else's hands.Lisha also smiled and said, “Everything at your auction was excellent. We can see that you’ve got a wide range of connections. If you’ve another auction like this in the future, please contact me. I'll be your frequent customer.”“It would be my honor!”Harvey exclaimed excitedly.Lisha frequently attended Harvey's auctions, not just to purchase items, but also to prom
Sean followed Lisha and walked towards the bustling street.However, Lisha did not take Sean to a fancy restaurant, but instead brought him to a street filled with food stalls.Due to the late hour, there were not many people on the street, but the food stalls on both sides of the street were still open for business.“There’re many street foods here that are unique to Crosac’s culture. You must have never tasted them before!”Lisha confidently said.Sean nodded with a smile. He was not particularly interested in food, even the delicacies of Dragon Kingdom did not appeal to him, let alone the cuisine of the City-State Union.“Let's go, I'll take you to a food stall where the barbecue is really, really delicious!”After finishing speaking, Lisha pulled Sean's arm and headed towards the end of the food street.“What kind of barbecue are you talking about?”Sean asked, feeling slightly curious.‘Lisha, as the eldest daughter of the mayor in Crosac, Claremento Crosac, had grown up
Looking at the six neatly arranged bullfrogs on the table, Sean's eyelids began to twitch.“How’s it?”Lisha asked with a smile.“It's... quite impressive.”Sean struggled to find the right words, hesitating for a moment before finally speaking.“Quick! Try it!”Lisha pushed one barbequed bullfrog toward Sean.There was nothing else for Sean to say. He could only reluctantly pick up the barbequed bullfrog and take a bite.Sean thought the bullfrog must be very unpleasant to taste.However, the barbequed bullfrog in his mouth tasted amazing, with a particularly delicious flavor.The unexpectedly great taste surprised Sean, as the taste was vastly different from the appearance, leaving him feeling caught off guard.It seemed that bullfrogs were similar to stinky tofu.Stinky tofu smelled bad but tasted good.As for barbequed bullfrogs, they looked disgusting but were delicious to eat.Of course, people who often ate bullfrogs would not find them unappetizing. This was just
Sean nodded and lifted his wine glass to take a big sip again.“You can hold your liquor, young man! But don't get too drunk, or your girlfriend will be very disappointed.”The food stall owner said with a very knowing smile.In his eyes, Sean's decision to bring his “girlfriend” out for a meal so late at night meant they would not be going home and would instead be spending the night at a hotel.If he were to get drunk, this beautiful young lady would certainly be disappointed or even angry.This misunderstanding made Lisha's cheeks turn red, and Sean himself blushed slightly. However, he was not embarrassed but a little bit tipsy from the strong liquor.This liquor was at least 50-proof or more!“What a strong stuff!”Sean put down his glass and said, “Uncle, give me another glass.”“No problem, I'll make sure you enjoy it.”The food stall owner said as he poured another full glass of fruit liquor for Sean.Lisha was delighted to see Sean's flushed face, feeling that her t
“What’s wrong?”Sean asked.When Sean asked, he knew that Lisha must have recognized the old man and the stunning woman sitting next to the old man with a contemptuous look on her face.Otherwise, Lisha would not have lowered her veil to cover her face.As expected, Lisha immediately whispered, “These two are from the Hunt family. The old man is the head of the family, Timaeus Hunt, and the woman sitting next to him is his granddaughter, Shirley Hunt. The Hunt family is also a big family of Dragon Kingdom descent in Crosac.”Upon hearing this, Sean immediately understood.Lisha continued, “Timaeus has a good relationship with my father and often comes to the mayor’s residence to have tea and chat with him. I don't want to be recognized by him. If he sees us together, he’ll definitely misunderstand.”“You’re right.”Sean nodded in agreement.Suddenly, Lisha remembered something and laughed, “By the way, Timaeus is a martial arts enthusiast. He often tells me how powerful Dragon
No matter which city, there would always be these thugs and despicable individuals, and this was no exception even in a place like Crosac.However, what surprised Sean was that this group of hooligans seemed to be coming toward him and Lisha.When they arrived in front of them, the hooligans surrounded Sean and Lisha.“Are you two Sean Lennon and Lisha Crosac?”The leader, a young man with yellow hair, asked while pulling out a switchblade about ten centimeters long from his waist.Upon hearing the name Lisha Crosac, Timaeus, who was eating beside them, widened his eyes in surprise, and Shirley also had a sudden realization on her face.Sean frowned and said, “We're not, you’ve got the wrong people.” “Not? Hehe. We've been following you from near the Harvey Tower until here. Do you dare say you're not?”The yellow-haired leader sneered. He pressed the button on the handle of his switchblade, and the shiny ten-centimeter blade sprang out.“Don't blame us for being heartless. S
At this moment, Shirley had already run up to Lisha and lifted the veil covering her face.Looking at the familiar face, Shirley said angrily and amusedly, “It's really you! I just felt you were familiar... Lisha, why did you run out of the mayor’s residence so late at night? Don't you know it's dangerous outside?!”“I just came to attend an auction with my friend. I didn't expect it to end so late, and I was a little hungry, so I...”Lisha explained with a bitter smile.Shirley glanced at Sean, who was beside Lisha, and asked, “Is he your boyfriend? What kind of taste do you have to choose such a man? You’re Uncle Claremento’s daughter, maybe even the future mayoress. How can you be so casual in choosing a partner?”“You’ve misunderstood. He really is just my friend, not my boyfriend.”Lisha said helplessly.As she spoke, Lisha looked worriedly at Sean, afraid that Shirley's words would anger him.Fortunately, Sean did not get angry. He was now focused on watching Timaeus figh
