"Gosh, who is this? How dare he go up against Mr. Lake in Ocean City? Is he some big shot from Janestown or somewhere?""A big shot? This guy is only the boss of a security firm! Optimus Security Services, the company that caused a lot of trouble in Ocean City recently belongs to him!""Huh? He's just the owner of a security firm? Where does he get the nerve to go against Mr. Lake?"...Although Sean's Optimus Security Services had caused a lot of trouble in Ocean City recently, few people knew what Optimus Security Services was capable of."Hmph! Aren't auctions where the highest bidder wins?"The Lake family is rich, but they're not the boss of Ocean City!"An old but vigorous voice rang in a corner of the auction, drawing everyone's attention.They thought it was rare enough to have someone like Sean who dared to challenge the Lake family. Unexpectedly, there was someone else.Sean also looked at the source of the voice and saw Michael sitting quietly in the corner, looking
"Tell your father? Forget about your father. We wouldn't be afraid of your grandfather even if he were still alive."Theodore scoffed, his tone disdainful.Sitting next to him, Michael looked calm, and the two seemed to have no regard for the Lake family, who was known as the top family of Ocean City."Mr. Lennon, just bid. If Curtis dares to do anything to you afterward, we'll get him!"Theodore ignored the sullen Curtis, looked at Sean, and said.After hearing this, Sean had an inexplicable smile and looked at Curtis, saying, "Since Mr. Lake bid 600 million, I'll add another 100 million!"With what Mr. Lake is worth, this mere 100 million shouldn't bother him."Looking at the smile on Sean's face, Curtis felt his anger boiling.Everyone there focused their gaze on Curtis. They all had different looks in their eyes as if to see whether the heir of the Lake family would continue to raise the price.Moon Lake Painting was only sold for 400 million back then, and now it had been
The auctioneer said with a beautiful smile.Then she raised the wooden gavel and slammed it down, declaring that Curtis had successfully won Moon Lake Painting with 700 million.As Curtis won Moon Lake Painting, everyone present looked at Curtis with somewhat inexplicable looks, which seemed confused or sarcastic."This damn thing is still threatening Mr. Lennon. I want to kill him on the spot!"Zander stared at Curtis coldly as if he were looking at a dead body.Sean said nothing else and only looked at the stage with a smile, waiting for the auctioneer to bring out the next lot.Curtis dared to kidnap Willow to Ocean City, which doomed him to be a dead man to Sean.Only by destroying everything he was proud of and letting him fall into the abyss of despair could he not get away so easily.The auctioneer quickly calmed down and brought out the next lot.Since Moon Lake Painting, Curtis did not bid again, and Sean naturally would not bid again.He was not interested in these
The auctioneer on stage also looked confused when she saw Jadon.However, she recovered in a flash. Then, she looked at Jadon with a smile and said, "What do you mean by that, Mr. Quartz?"Would Victory Auction House steal this artifact from the Quartz family?"Jadon's body trembled slightly, apparently angry at what the auctioneer had said."Hmph! You know better than anyone how you got this thing."I'm afraid even the venom bug in my body has something to do with Victory Auction House!"Jadon snorted coldly, already striding toward the stage as he spoke.Looking at Jadon getting closer, the auctioneer looked flustered.However, her panic was soon gone, replaced by intense outrage.She was the auctioneer of Victory Auction House, with the behemoth Victory Auction House behind her. She could not be intimidated by the head of an Ocean City family."Mr. Quartz, this is Victory Auction House's auction. We hope you won't do anything out of line!"The auctioneer warned coldly.J
With that said, Jadon walked straight off the stage and toward Sean.Looking in Jadon's direction, Wyatt also saw Sean and Zander, who were beside him.However, he did not know Sean and Zander's identity, so he did not think much of it. He only thought Jadon deliberately said that to intimidate him because he could not retrieve the artifact.No longer looking at Jadon, Wyatt waved the auctioneer away.Then, he glanced at everyone present and said indifferently, "Look, the royal seal in my hand is the artifact!"Although it used to belong to the Quartz family, a member of the Quartz family sold it to Victory Auction House for 300 million!"So it now belongs to Victory Auction House, not the Quartz family!"While saying that, Wyatt also looked at Jadon somewhat intentionally with contempt and disdain.As head of Victory Auction House, he did not need to take Jadon, the head of the Quartz family, seriously."Mr. Lennon, I broke my promise!"I returned to the Quartz family as soo
"The royal seal will be up for bidding in our auction at Janestown later."If you're interested, you may join that auction."Wyatt spoke again, interrupting the commotion at the venue.The dignitaries of Ocean City present were silent after hearing that.They were famous dignitaries in Ocean City, but they were nobodies in Janestown.Big shots gathered in every Victory Auction House's auction in Janestown. With their status and wealth, they could not compete with those big shots even if they got into the auction."Since Mr. Santiago has said so, the Lake family will be there when the auction in Janestown starts."While everyone was silent, Curtis suddenly said.Wyatt gave him a friendly nod and said, "I'll be waiting for you at Janestown, Mr. Lake.""Thank you, Mr. Santiago!" Curtis responded with a smile.Both knew that Curtis was no one to Wyatt, and their conversation was just an exchange of pleasantries."The auction at Ocean City is over!"On behalf of Victory Auction
"I'll avenge the Tatum family for you. We're in Ocean City. Sean alone can't turn the city upside down!"Christopher was relieved to hear that.He was an old man with one foot in the grave, and his only obsession was the Tatum family that Sean had destroyed. He was satisfied as long as he could get his revenge.On the other hand, Sean had just returned to Optimus Security Services when he learned that Theodore and Michael were waiting in his office.When he and Zander entered the office, Theodore and Michael were sitting on the couch in the reception area, drinking coffee."Mr. Lennon!"When Sean arrived, Theodore and Michael spoke in unison.Sean nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Why did you think of coming to me?""Oh, we saw you and Curtis having a conflict at the auction and came here to ask about it!"Theodore said with a smile.Sean responded, "If you want to know, I'll tell you."I'll fight the Lake family to the death!"Both Theodore's and Michael's expression
It was already late at night when the auction ended. When Michael and Theodore left Optimus Security Services, it was already midnight.Michael and Theodore left with excitement on their faces."Mr. Lennon, there won't be any accidents if we tell them about these plans, will there?"Zander asked, looking at Sean's back as they stood before the floor-to-ceiling window of the office.Sean looked away from the window and said with a smile, "If we can't even trust these two elders, we have no more friends in Ocean City."Zander fell silent at that, but there was still a faint hint of concern in his eyes."I know what to do. I need you and the boys to work hard tonight to get rid of those rats hiding in the dark."Sean said again as if sensing Zander's concern.Zander immediately nodded and said coldly, "It's just an assassin organization based in Ocean City that will be gone before dawn tomorrow."With that said, Zander turned around and left the office.Soon, there was the roar
