Zander glanced at Daniel beside him, who understood immediately."Titus, it's easy to deal with these thugs. You can buy us drinks again later.""Sure! I can buy you drinks every day, not just one time!"Titus agreed immediately when Daniel asked.Then, Daniel said to Elton behind him, "Elton, you're up!"Elton's expression changed. He had no choice as was the least powerful.Then, he strode over to the group of young men with a gloomy face.The people surrounding the three supercars had already seen the buff Zander and the Brown brothers and dared not stay a minute longer.Many of them turned around and left.Only the young man who had just criticized Titus the most stood there nonchalantly.Seeing Elton walking towards them, one of them sneered and said, "This is a society governed by law. Are you going to hit me in front of so many people?"Slap!Before the young man knew it, Elton had slapped him.Elton did not slap hard. Otherwise, the young man would have been uncons
The auction was held at another five-star hotel in Ocean City.The five-star hotel named Ocean City Hotel was one of the few top hotels in Ocean City that could compete with Greenview Hotel.They parked in the parking lot, and Titus led them into the hotel.On the hotel's second floor was a connected function room, which the auction house had reserved to host the auction.The auction house called Winter Green Auction House was just one of the local auction houses in Ocean City.Although they were not weak, they were no match for the previous Victory Auction House from Janestown.Perhaps Ocean City Hotel deliberately built several rooms similar to private rooms in the huge function room on the second floor because they often cooperated with Winter Green Auction House.These private rooms were much higher than the ones below. It looked as if they were above everyone else.There were eight private rooms, ranked from one to eight.When Sean and the rest arrived, seven of the priva
"I had no choice but to go to Quartz Residence and end up having Sienna kick me out."Titus was also embarrassed to mention the awkward incident.After all, he was the heir of the Lake family. Having a lady kick him out of her house when he went to ask for her hand would make him a joke if word about it got out."Haha..."Willow, who was whispering aside, burst out laughing.If it were anyone else, Titus would have flipped the table, but it was Willow, Sean's fiancée, and he was too scared to say anything.He could only sit aside, looking awkward."Willow, let me tell you, my cousin went to Quartz Residence to ask for Sienna's hand before!"Winnie tried to fan the flames by telling Willow about Titus' embarrassing past.Willow's melodious laugh echoed throughout the private room. Sean chuckled and shook his head.The auction officially began as they talked and laughed.The first thing to come up for auction was a painting by a modern artist.The prices of paintings would on
Titus could not understand what was on Mr. Lockhart and Dicky's minds.After all, he did not like Sienna. Although the Lake family's second branch was weaker than the first branch, it did not need any external help.Since Sienna kicked Titus out of Quartz Residence, he had lost all interest in the Quartz family's heiress.Instead of wasting time on her, he would rather go out drinking with his friends and pick girls up."I'll offer a million dollars!"Dicky did not want Mr. Lockhart to show him up, so he immediately made an offer again.Sienna's smile broadened when the two men raised the originally 100-thousand-dollar painting to 1 million dollars.Although the auction was said to be a charity auction, Winter Green Auction House would only donate its commission.The payment would ultimately go to the seller who provided the auction items.Winter Green Auction House's commission varied from 10% to 30%, according to the price of the goods.A small number of particularly valuab
Dicky and Mr. Lockhart were making themselves fools by fighting for Sienna's attention here.Perhaps understanding that Sienna did not want to pay him any more attention, Dicky sat down dispiritedly.Sienna then had someone bring up the second auction item—a trinket worth about the same as the painting. Its starting bid was 200 thousand.Perhaps the competition between Dicky and Mr. Lockhart made everyone come to their senses. This time, no one increased the price too much. Eventually, the second auction item sold for 400 thousand dollars.After that, there were eight auctions, none of which were anything valuable. The highest value was the tenth auction item, which went to a middle-aged man for 3 million dollars.As for the other nine auction items, nothing sold for more than a million dollars besides the first painting.The 11th auction item was a half-arm-length vase, which Sienna said originated from the Early Middle Ages."The starting bid is 30 million!"Sienna spoke calm
"One hundred and twenty million!"Someone in Private Room 7 raised the bid again.Titus raised his eyebrows and bid without hesitation, "150 million!"He was getting it for Aaron, so the price did not bother him.Titus could ask Aaron for more money if he did not have enough money.One hundred and fifty million had exceeded the vase's value, and everyone fell silent. No one made any more offers."Congratulations to the VIP in Private Room 1 for winning the vase for 150 million!"After asking thrice and finally confirming that there were no further bids, Sienna also announced the winner of the vase.Titus did not bid for the remaining auction item because giving Aaron the vase was already good enough."I know many people came here for our final auction item—Heart of the World!"In that case, I won't waste any more of your time!"Sienna said with a smile.Then, someone came on stage carrying an exquisite box.The box was slowly opened, and all the lights were turned off inst
Sienna's voice rang again, signaling that the auction of the pink diamond had officially begun."Five hundred million!"Just after Sienna finished speaking, Sean's voice came from Private Room 1.He raised the price by 400 million in one go."Damn. Whose heir is in Private Room 1? First, he won the Early Middle Ages vase for 150 million, and now he's offering 500 million!""Judging from his voice, he's probably young. Many families in Ocean City can afford 500 million. I wonder who's in Private Room 1...""Hehe, whoever he is, this pink diamond has nothing to do with us anyway. We didn't come to this auction in vain if we saw something worth hundreds of millions of dollars being auctioned off!"...There was a flurry of discussion as everyone wondered who was in Private Room 1.However, there were several families with assets of tens of billions in Ocean City. There were even three families with assets of more than 100 billion. For a moment, it was difficult to determine who w
"Judging from the voice, it should be the heir of the Yaleton family!" Sean said with a chuckle.Titus could not recognize Sebastian's voice, but Sean still recognized him after he changed it deliberately. Then, he calmly shouted the price of 1.5 billion."1.5 billion? Who the hell is in Private Room 1? Why does he want to pay an extra 700 million for this pink diamond?""Who knows? Maybe they have lots of money to spare?""Yeah, they must be wealthy to be able to sit in Private Room 1. Maybe 1.5 billion is an astronomical figure for us, but it's nothing for them."...Everyone was shocked to hear 1.5 billion.The crowd discussed the identity of the mysterious man in Private Room 1.Titus turned gloomy. He slowly stood up after hearing Sean's offer of 1.5 billion."Brother Lennon, I'll help you teach that fool a lesson."Upon hearing Titus' words, Sean shook his head and smiled. He faintly said, "Why argue with a clown like him?"But Brother Lennon, you can win this pink
"Even if you haven't stepped into the legendary Transcendence Realm yet, you're already capable enough to overpower most martial artists! Mr. Lennon, you've possessed such strength at your age. You'll surely enter that legendary realm one day!" Adam exclaimed.He had practiced diligently day after day for decades, yet he was only a Beginner Great Grandmaster. Even so, he was one of the most talented martial artists among several generations of Greendom Chapel members. However, that talent was as different as night and day compared to Sean.Sean was now only in his 20s, yet he already possessed the strength to rival the supreme priest who had passed away.There were no other people as strong as Sean in the entire Dragon Kingdom."Alright, stop flattering me. I'll have someone transfer 500 million to you later. You can use it to improve Greendom Chapel's current situation. When the time comes, I'll accompany you to meet that man from Melode Cathedral," Sean said with a smile as he sh
"Mr. Lennon, you also know how strong that old priest is. We Catholics only have the supreme priest who could rival him. Now that the supreme priest has passed away, that old priest has become even more arrogant..." Sean nodded slightly and sighed before expressing his regret. "It's a pity about the supreme priest.""Human life has its limitations. The path of martial arts is long and arduous. Few people in history have been able to reach the legendary Transcendence Realm." Adam sighed as well. He had already reached Great Grandmaster Realm that countless martial artists dreamed of. Even so, there were opponents he could not defeat and problems he could not solve."Mr. Lennon, since you're willing to leave that calligraphy in Greendom Chapel, you must have some history with Greendom Chapel. I wonder if you can tell me," Adam finally said after a moment of silence.Adam was the former chaplain of Greendom Chapel, but he had gone into seclusion to further advance himself after stepp
A Christian refers to a follower of Jesus Christ who might be a Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, or follower of another branch of the religion. A Catholic was a Christian who followed the Catholic religion transmitted through the succession of Popes, who were leaders of the Catholic church. Thus, All Roman Catholics were Christian, but not all Christians were Roman Catholic. The difference in beliefs had put the two in conflict."Could it be that their conflict has reignited? Didn't a Catholic priest warn those donkeys?" Sean asked with a frown.Adam nodded slightly and sighed before slowly replying, "It's just as you said. After the passing of Tiger Mountain's supreme priest, Christians often gave us Catholics a hard time. Now, not only are chaplains from all over Dragon Kingdom affected, but even Greendom Chapel has gotten into this situation."Most chaplains and churches relied on donations from their followers for their income. Once they lost this source of income, chaplains and
Meanwhile, a daunting aura rose from the old chaplain.The Brown brothers’ expressions instantly changed, even being forced back three steps by the pressure from the old chaplain before barely stopping.Willow's eyes filled with panic. She felt like she had encountered a mortal enemy and had her life on the line.Sean's gaze focused before he immediately reached out to hold Willow."Cut that intimidating aura out. Who are you trying to scare?" Sean snapped as he looked at the old chaplain.However, the old chaplain's kind demeanor changed. He stared solemnly at Sean and asked, "I'm asking who you are.""Who am I? Is my calligraphy in Greendom Chapel gone?" Sean replied indifferently.The old chaplain froze in place as if struck by lightning."What? The old chaplain is from Greendom Chapel? How is that possible… Greendom Chapel is a nationally renowned holy place. H-How could one of their chaplains be selling counterfeit goods here?" Willow exclaimed. Her hands covered her mouth
The smile on the old chaplain's face instantly froze. He looked awkwardly at Sean and stammered, "L-Look at my age. How could I engage in deceitful acts? God... I've lived a righteous life. I didn't expect to be so misunderstood in my twilight years..."Seeing the old chaplain's pitiful expression, Willow could not help but feel sorry for him.However, Sean looked disdainfully at the old chaplain before saying with a smile, "Sir, perhaps being an actor suits you better than being a chaplain."The old chaplain's acting skills were impeccable. He might even win a prize if he attended some award ceremony. With his white beard and the slightly worn-out robe that had turned somewhat faded, others might indeed mistake Sean for misunderstanding the old chaplain."Sir, you can't say such things! I've lived an honest life. You can't just tarnish my reputation!" The old chaplain pleaded earnestly, looking at Sean.Ignoring the old chaplain, Sean picked up a vase from the stall before him. W
Sean glanced at Elton and Bernie beside him and said with a smile. Elton and Bernie scratched their heads awkwardly and beamed. "After we finish browsing Antiques Street, let's head to the new company office together and get acquainted with it. At least we won't end up not knowing where our company is in the future."Daniel and his brothers immediately nodded.Then, the group continued to stroll through Antiques Street. However, Antiques Street had been around for so many years, and each stall was run by shrewd peddlers, who made it increasingly difficult to find hidden treasures.Even with Sean's keen eye, he had not come across a genuine antique after strolling through Antiques Street for so long. All he saw were counterfeit antiques that looked authentic.After another ten minutes or so, Sean suddenly stopped in his tracks.Not far away, an old man with white hair in a black robe opened up a large bag of items and placed the items on the ground. He then took out a small sto
Willow held Sean's arm, her face filled with happiness.Sean scanned the surroundings of the street stalls with a smile, searching for genuine antiques. The Brown brothers quietly followed Sean. With the Brown brothers standing behind Sean like bodyguards, the street peddlers who had heard about suckers in Antiques Street were now hesitant to make any sudden moves."Mr. Lennon, I heard this place is full of scammers. You wouldn't want to ruin your reputation here," Daniel reminded with a chuckle.Sean glanced at him and replied flatly, "Come on. Would my reputation be ruined in such a small place? Check out the two little trinkets Willow bought for only 500 dollars. If we auction them off, I can make at least 20 million dollars!"Daniel and his brothers paused and turned to look at the hairpin and the ring Willow was holding.Seeing the three men interested in the items, Willow stopped and handed the hairpin and ring to Daniel. "Feel free to take a look."Since they were Sean's
It was normal to pay others for their service. Sean only gave them 10 thousand dollars when he had made 20 million dollars a while ago. Ten thousand was just a drop in the bucket. Daniel and his brothers swiftly made their way through Antiques Street, soon spotting Sean and Willow. Sensing someone approaching, Sean immediately turned around to look. Sean smiled when he saw the Brown brothers."Mr. Lennon! Mrs. Lennon!" Daniel and his brothers greeted respectfully when they arrived before Sean and Willow. Willow felt slightly embarrassed at being called "Mrs. Lennon" and only nodded slightly before looking elsewhere. Sean nodded with a smile. Fortunately, this part of Antiques Street was relatively isolated with few people around. Otherwise, Daniel and his brothers' sudden appearance would attract attention."Mr. Lennon, you spotted us from so far away. Your abilities are admirable!" Daniel lamented.Sean shook his head with a smile and said flatly, "Martial arts is all a
"Don't be offended. Mr. Lennon also instructed us to watch over these three guys here," Bobby answered with a smile, not mentioning that they were hired earlier to mess with Sean for 3 thousand dollars.The four men standing before them were burly and not easy to mess with. Bobby would not foolishly tell them he had tried to trouble Sean."Is that so? How can we be sure you're not associated with these two?" Daniel asked hostilely as he raised his eyebrows skeptically.Bobby and his henchmen's expressions immediately changed, fear evident in their eyes. Bobby quickly pulled out his phone, showed the transaction record of Sean's payment, and said, "Look, look! This is the record of the money Mr. Lennon just wired me!"Zander glanced at it, confirming the identities of the three men in front of him as the same ones Sean had mentioned on the phone."I'll take these two back to the company. You three can find Mr. Lennon and help him out with any troubles," Zander said solemnly.Dan
