Chapter 1751

Five minutes passed by quickly enough, and the doors of the club closed. The big screen in front lit up as the emcee took the stage to speak. "I hereby announce that the private auction will now begin! First up, we have an ancient painting speaking of a time far, far away. The piece was created by a well-known artist from Dasha, and it is named 'Where Mountains Lie'." "Bids start at five hundred thousand dollars. Alright, let's begin!" "Six hundred thousand!" "Six hundred and fifty thousand!" "Seven hundred thousand!" … "Nine hundred thousand!" 'Where Mountains Lie' was indeed a famous painting, but it was not worth too much on the market. That was why no one called out after nine hundred thousand dollars. That was a price that far surpassed the original price of the painting. However, the painting originated from Dasha and ended up overseas for some reason. Other foreigners might not see much value in it, but it meant a lot to Wilbur as a man born and raised in Das

Of course, Marie would be happy if Wilbur could buy the antiques and bring them back to Dasha in the end. Realistically, however, she also suspected whether or not he would be able to afford the expensive antiques. This had been an auction of mainly Dasha antiques, many of them originating from ancient dynasties. Wilbur had bid for ten out of eleven antiques, leaving many attendees in shock. After all, Pilsey was just a small town in Cametra. Despite the view here being excellent, there were not many rich folk living here. Wilbur bade for about twenty million dollars' worth of antiques, which was undoubtedly a huge sum to most people here. However, these people here did not know Wilbur's real identity as the owner of Cape International. Twenty million dollars was hardly anything to someone like him. Wilbur did not feel too much about spending the money on ten antiques and even wanted to keep

"The way I see it, this is just a normal rock. It's the star of the show because it was once used by some famous person, so it probably has some kind of special meaning despite being a regular rock." "I trust in Madam Marie. She's never sold or auctioned off anything fake before. This rock has to be special if it's the star of the show." … The audience called out their guesses one after the other, but the emcee shook his head time and time again with a smile. "My apologies, ladies and gentlemen, but you're all wrong. This rock here isn't a piece of jade. It did not come from a mine, nor was it used by anyone famous." "This rock right here is actually from outer space. It's a meteorite." "What?" "Is it really?" … The crowd's expression flashed with shock, as did Wilbur's. He searched through the rock with his spirit energy at once and indeed found that there was a mysterious energy within it. The energy did not seem like spiritual energy or anything Wilbur was familiar

"What?" "Someone just offered fifty million dollars!" "Is he out of his mind?" The crowd was shocked at Wilbur's bid. Fifty million was no small amount, but this Dashan man who had already gotten twenty items was offering such a high price. Most of the crowd stayed silent after that. Fifty million dollars was way out of their budget after that, and they felt like the meteorite was not worth that much either. All of a sudden, an old man with white hair slammed a fist on the handle of his armchair with an ashen expression on his face. "What the hell, are you looking down on us Cametrans? You bade for most of the Dashan items, and now you're even trying to leave with the star of the auction! Do you think you're still in Dasha? You'd better behave, or I won't be nice to you!" The old man raised his paddle. "Seventy million dollars!" Wilbur knew that he had just bid over twenty items in Cametra, which would seem like a gesture of arrogance to the other participants present. Ho

After the auction ended, Wilbur met up with Madam Marie. The two shook hands, and Marie beamed at Wilbur. "I hadn't expected your generosity, Mister Penn." "It's all thanks to you, Madam Marie. My pleasure." Marie smiled, tearing up a little. "This money will keep my father going for a little more." Wilbur frowned. "What's the matter with your father, Madam Marie?" Tina's eyes reddened at the look on Marie's face as well, as she was reminded of her own father. Madam Marie had not expected Wilbur to purchase the meteorite for a price as high as a hundred million dollars, and this money would be a lifeline to her family. This made Marie see Wilbur as a hero, and she got straight to the point and revealed that her father was gravely ill and in need of a lot of money for treatment. Wilbur nodded. "You're a good daughter, Madam Marie. I'm sure your father will get better soon." "I hope so." While waiting for the staff to transport the auctioned items to the space in the un

Chapter 1756

Wilbur's body had been restored to normal by the evening. He opened his eyes, clenching his right hand hard, and realized that his energy had returned. The Light of Dragon was indeed powerful. After all, this was a cultivation method from the dragon tribe. Regular people would not be able to withstand it, and Wilbur would have exploded if it had not been for his strong physique and the help of the pills. Wilbur now realized that the aftereffects of the Light of Dragon were extremely powerful. His internal aura had been completely knocked askew, and even his dragon powers were in a state of chaos. With the help of the Dragon's Chant, both auras had grown incredibly powerful to nourish the body. But now, they were causing the body harm instead because of the state of chaos. This was Wilbur's first time encountering something like this. His spiritual energy and dragon's energy had never been knocked askew before, but this incident had ended up improving his physical condition upon h

Wilbur took the bowl from Tina, drinking it slowly. "Ah, right. Thanks for finding me that auction, Tina. I wouldn't have made it this far otherwise." Tina knew Wilbur was a cultivator, and there had been two peak Sanctuary level elites who had come looking for him. She felt a pang of pain in her chest as she looked at Wilbur, and said, "It'd be better if you just left, Mister Penn. Go back to Dasha, where they won't be able to do anything to you." Despite the fact that Tina wanted revenge for her father, Wilbur was unrelated to the entire incident. Now that Wilbur's identity had been exposed, with Greensource Corp's powerful influence, Wilbur would not be able to continue trying to get evidence of their crimes. Greensource Corp's assassins had already proven to be a threat to Wilbur's life, too. Clark and Demetra were both peak Sanctuary level elites who were even more powerful than Mondorra. Despite the fact that Tina wished Wilbur would be able to expose Greensource Corp's c

Tina got closer to Wilbur as she spoke, pressing her lips to his in a deep kiss. She moved so quickly that Wilbur could not duck, and they were already kissing by the time Wilbur came to his senses and it was too late to push her away. Tina kissed Wilbur with a passion so fierce he found it hard to breathe. She finally let him go a full minute later, looking into his eyes deeply. "I'm all yours now, Mister Penn." "You can have me anytime you want, Mister Penn." Wilbur nodded helplessly, before suddenly remembering Madam Marie. "Oh, right. Tina, did you keep Madam Marie's number from earlier?" Tina nodded. "You said that Madam Marie's antiques were really important, so I kept her contact. Would you like me to call her now?" "No." Wilbur shook his head. "Not for now. Just let me know first thing if she reaches out to us, that's all." Marie's antiques were indeed important, but Wilbur was also worried about something else. That old man at the auction did not seem to know the

Clearly, Greg Jonan had heard Wilbur's footsteps. "Is anything the matter, Mister Greg?" Greg did not turn around, still looking at the now-scarlet sky as if bewitched by its deep red hue. "I was wondering if you were satisfied with the outcome of today's auction, Mister Penn." "Oh, it was pretty good. Would you happen to have a personal collection of yours for sale too, Mister Greg?" Greg chuckled at the question, turning around to look at Wilbur. "This is the one hobby I've never had. I've never sold a single item from my personal collection. I've never approved of keeping antiques around to resell them once the price goes up. To love something is to keep it by your side, forever." Wilbur smiled. Greg's attitude towards antiques gave Wilbur a pretty good impression. After all, one usually treated their friends the way they treated things they loved. A man who refused to monetize the things he loved for money must be a good friend, and Wilbur deemed him a friend worth having

Wilbur scowled as he watched Greg leave, disgust flaring up in his chest. Despite not wanting to meddle in the Jonan clan's affairs, they had come looking for him and Wilbur had no choice but to pray that Madam Marie would eventually reach out to him to talk about purchasing more items from her personal collection. At the same time, Demetra and Miyah were in the middle of dinner in a restaurant in Aidementon. Miyah glanced at the plane ticket in her hand, setting it down on the table before cutting a piece off her steak to eat. Despite the two of them having agreed not to discuss the flight, Miyah could not hold back her curiosity and asked, "Do I really need to leave? Aren't you powerful enough for me to stay by your side? Who are you going up against, anyway? Why are you so scared? I've never seen you like this before." Demetra, who had never been good at expressing his feelings, set down his fork coldly. "Do you really want to know?" "Yes, I do. We promised to be together fo
