As soon as Keith spoke, a middle-aged businessman immediately raised his auction paddle and shouted excitedly, "I bid 5.2 million dollars for the Two Butterflies painting!""I bid 5.3 million!""I bid 5.35 million!"Soon the price had risen to 6.2 million.Besides that, it had not reached the Two Butterflies painting's real worth, and the price was still increasing.Gabe suddenly raised his auction paddle and said with a laugh, "I bid 6.3 million!"Sean and Zander both turned to look at Gabe.Gabe's income should not be able to afford such an expensive item, but Gabe had just offered his bid, which surprised the two."I'm just joining in the fun. Since I'm here, shouldn't I show a sense of participation even if I'm only putting on a show?"Gabe said awkwardly to Sean, rubbing his hands.Gabe kept his voice low for fear that others would hear him.Zander could not help laughing.Seeing Gabe's embarrassment, Sean said, "You're doing a great job. You and Derrick are in the gov

"Mr. Lennon, aren't you not married too?" Gabe asked with a smile.Sean looked away and said nothing. Gabe shut up and stopped talking nonsense too. It would be troublesome if he pissed Sean off. Just then, the third auction item finally took the stage.The item was special. It was not common jewelry or treasure, nor was it an antique. It was a set of 30 books.Keith on the stage picked up the books and showed them to the guests."Everyone, these 30 books are the legacy of Midwich's miracle doctor, Albus Humphrey. Dr. Humphrey wrote down all his medical knowledge in these 30 books during his twilight years and gave them to his son as heirlooms. But Dr. Humphrey's son faced some trouble and needed money, so he asked the Harris family to put these 30 books up for auction."Hearing this, the guests in the audience frowned and looked a little impatient.'Books about medicine?'They sound impressive, but who would want them?'Sean sitting between Zander and Gabe, was intrigued as

The huge auction hall instantly fell silent at that.All the guests turned their heads to look toward the voice.The speaker was the young man sitting next to Chief Police Wholeton, Sean Lennon!Sean raised the auction paddle with his right hand. Unbothered with the gazes of so many people, he looked indifferently at Keith on stage and said, "I bid three million dollars for these medical books."After a while, Keith on stage finally reacted and nodded with a smile. "Number 71 offered three million dollars. Is there anyone bidding higher than him? Is there anyone else..."Before Keith could finish speaking, the head of the Yale family, Sherleen, rose slowly.She turned to look at Chief Police Wholeton sitting beside Sean and asked with a fake smile, "Chief Police Wholeton, I didn't expect you to intervene and compete with me. Do you want to make an enemy of the Yale family?"Hearing Sherleen's words, all the guests present gasped.Sherleen was furious!The head of the Yale fami

Sherleen nodded slightly and continued, "Mr. Lennon, are you sure you want to compete with the Yale family for these 30 medical books? Do you have any idea what this means? The Yale family can't rule Midwich, but we have no problem dealing with one or two nobodies.""So what?" Sean said calmly.'So what?'How dare the young man say 'So what?' to the head of the Yale family, Sherleen?'He's offending the Yale family!'Can he stay any longer in Midwich, having offended the Yale family?'Guests were stunned and speechless as they watched Sean confront Sherleen.The boy was an example of the old saying—"Fools rush in where angels fear to tread."Sherleen's face was thick with anger as she said coldly, "It seems you're not from Midwich, so you don't know the Yale family's status in Midwich. Let me remind you that the Yale family is one of the top four families in Midwich! And I, Sherleen Yale, am the head of the Yale family!"Sean smiled and said, "So what?"'So what?'How dare t

On the stage, Keith's smile grew wider.The Harris family was also one of the top four families in Midwich, and Keith was the heir of the Harris family.The top four families were rivals with each other, wanting the others to go down.Seeing Sherleen humiliated at the hands of an unknown young man, Keith beamed with joy.He coughed, put on a stern expression, and said, "Everyone, Number 71 offered three million dollars for these 30 medical books. Is there anyone offering a higher price? Any more? Take the chance, or the 30 medical books will belong to Number 71."Number 71 is the number on Sean's auction paddle.As soon as Keith finished speaking, Sherleen angrily raised her auction paddle."Four million dollars!"Keith nodded and looked back at Sean. "Number 33 bid four million dollars. Is anyone..."Before Keith could finish speaking, Sean raised his auction paddle."Five million dollars."Unlike the furious Sherleen, Sean was calm and impassive in his expression and tone.

"You... b*stard!"Sherleen's hands and feet were shaking with anger.Keith looked at Sean and said with a chuckle, "Mrs. Yale just bid six million. Do you want to keep bidding, Mr. Lennon?"Keith did not even address them according to the paddle numbers anymore; he went by Mrs. Yale and Mr. Lennon.Sean smiled and nodded before slowly saying, "I bid ten million dollars for the 30 medical books."'Ten million!'Sherleen had bid six million, and now Sean bid ten million in the blink of an eye!How terrifying.Even Sherleen, who was the head of the Yale family, felt intense pressure because of the ten million."Mom, forget it. Grandpa's disease can't be cured just by buying some medical books. They probably don't have such a magical effect even if they're Dr. Humphrey's medical books. After all, medical books have to be studied first. No one can master Dr. Humphrey's medical skill through 30 books."Sherman spoke to his mother, Sherleen, as he grabbed her by the wrist.Sherleen

Although they still had no idea who Sean was or where he came from, they could already tell Sean was not Chief Police Wholeton's subordinate.It was because even Chief Police Wholeton dared not go against the Yale family. If Sean was really Gabe's subordinate, how could he go against the Yale family without Gabe’s protection?"There are so many talents out there."An old man in his seventies glanced at Sean in the back row and said slowly."It looks like things are going to change for us in Midwich." Another person said as if anticipating something.The auction continued.The next auction item came on stage, and the atmosphere in the auction room gradually became bustling.Gabe grimaced as he said to Sean, "Sir, would you please give me a heads up before doing anything? I was scared to death.""Are you scared of such a small incident? You're a very good chief of police."Zander was not mocking him; he was just joking.Gabe said with a sigh, "A chief of police has a lot of pow

How expensive!Most of the people present did not have the financial means to buy such a hotel.However, a small group of people was also interested in East World Hotel.It included the patriarch of the Sheldon family—Caden, sitting on the far left of the first row, and the patriarch of the Jensen family—Fernando!"Here comes the fun."Fernando said as he rubbed his hands together, his face flushed."Dad, are we bidding on East World Hotel? Why didn't you tell me?" Jonathan asked.Fernando glanced at his precious son before snapping with a laugh, "If I told you, wouldn't you have announced it to everyone? It's a trade secret. How could I tell you so easily?"Jonathan nodded in understanding and agreement.The patriarch of the Sheldon family—Caden, sitting on the far left of the first row, frowned slightly and said, "East World Hotel is up for auction. The Jensen family will go after it... They must win the hotel.""Should we bid then? The Sheldon family isn't in the real esta
