Next morning, ten o’clock sharp.Purdue Auction House was a semi-official auction organization. It was said that other than Mordu’s government officials, all the top families in Mordu had a stake in it.Simply put, this auction house represented the profit of Mordu’s entire upper class.Therefore, no one had ever dared to cause trouble in this auction house.Even powerful mob leaders from the underground kept a low profile here. If they ran into any conflict, they would quickly patch things up without much fuss.They themselves couldn’t guarantee their own safety if they acted arrogantly and stood out too much.Yvonne arrived at the auction house early in the morning. She sat at a corner, and then waited in silence.For this auction, Harvey was determined to acquire land in Lujiazui.Aside from using the land for Sky Corporation’s expansion in Mordu, another fundamental reason was that this auction could be regarded as a confrontation with Young Master Hector Thompson.Harvey
Kicking the door of the auction hall open, interrupting the auction, and taking a seat at the forefront. All of his actions screamed of dominance and arrogance. However, no one in the crowd dared to condemn him at all. Many people even stood up and greeted him respectfully.Even the beautiful female auctioneer who was on the stage bowed respectfully. A flattering smile appeared on her delicate face. Yvonne narrowed her eyes at this scene, but otherwise remained indifferent.However, there was an old saying: “The tree prefers calm while the wind does not subside.” Yvonne didn’t want to reveal herself, but Hector Thompson seemed to have sensed Yvonne’s presence a long time ago.His gaze fell to where Yvonne was. He smiled and waved his hand at her. “You’re quite sly, Yvonne. I heard you came here today for the land in Lujiazui.”“Are you really that eager to go against me?”Hector had definitely read Yvonne’s bidding document. Otherwise, he wouldn’t know what Yvonne wanted to bu
It could even be said that the most valuable thing about the Nine Dragon Pearl was the tread patterns carved on its surface.It was very rare in the world, and finding a second pearl was near impossible. “31.4 million dollars. I want it.”Hector raised his plaque casually and quoted a price.The price of 31.4 million dollars wasn’t too expensive for him. After all, there weren't many natural luminous pearls in this world, and it was originally a priceless treasure.However, there was a problem.Hector’s identity was laid bare. Since he had mentioned the price, no one dared to increase the price.His actions had told everyone he was determined to get the Nine Dragon Pearl.No matter who was interested in the Nine Dragon Pearl, it wasn’t worth offending Young Master Hector Thompson for it.Hector himself assumed no one dared to bid with his price. Hence, he tossed the plaque in his hand to one side after shouting.“31.4 million dollars! Someone has bid the price for 31.4 milli
The man in charge of the auction hall wasn’t the only one to understand that Harvey was here to create trouble for Hector and blew things up in his face. Everyone in the hall was the same.As Harvey was eligible to participate in the auction, no one could force him out.His appearance gave many a sense of expectation. Although they dared not challenge Hector themselves, it didn’t prevent them from watching the fun on the sidelines.Harvey walked to the front row indifferently and sat down casually. There was only one seat between him and Hector.Hector didn’t bother looking at him. He was busy playing with his phone.As for Sakura Miyamoto, her gaze fell onto Harvey. There was a trace of coldness in her coquettish eyes.How could she not know who Harvey was?Sakura had taken action against him several times, but he still managed to show up unscathed at the auction house. This was enough to explain a lot of problems.“157 million dollars for the first time!”Although the auctio
The crowd was utterly shocked.Everyone watched the scene with disbelief, staring hard at the calm-looking Hector.471 million dollars?!That much money for a Nine Dragon Pearl? Was it worth it?It would only be worth 4.7 million dollars at most, but Hector instantly raised the price ten times more.Could it be that this brat who had appeared out of nowhere managed to successfully irritate Hector?Sakura’s eyelids were also twitching slightly at this moment. She stared at Harvey, wanting to say something. In the end, she chose to remain silent.The auctioneer became very excited due to the heated bidding. She could get a one percent commission of the total price of the auctioned item. In short, she was already receiving a commission of 4.7 million dollars in this sale alone.If this sale was completed, she could achieve financial freedom!She excitedly brandished a small hammer and said loudly, “471 million dollars for the first time. 471 million dollars for the second time!”
Many narrowed their eyes at Harvey, and then looked at the indifferent Hector who wasn’t far away.Today’s battle was destined to be included in the history of the Purdue Auction House. However, it was also destined to have nothing to do with them.It seemed Harvey had made up her mind to oppose Hector till the end. It would be best for all of them to watch from the sidelines and avoid getting involved, for fear of incurring the wrath of either side.And so, everyone simply stood by and watched the fun.The auctioneer stared at Hector for a while, and saw that he didn’t intend to speak. She gritted her teeth and finally raised the small hammer in her hand.“471 million dollars for the third time…”Seeing her little hammer about to hit the table, Hector raised the plaque in his hand and announced coldly, “785 million dollars!”His voice sounded calm and indifferent, but the crowd could sense the indescribable anger he felt.Harvey smiled. He didn’t give Hector time to react at a
Harvey squinted his eyes as he stared at Hector. A moment later, he burst into laughter. “Can I interpret this as you threatening me, Young Master Thompson?”Hector replied indifferently, “Yes, you can.”“Although I know you’re quite skillful, Harvey, what lies underneath is far beyond your comprehension.”“Thus, let me give you a gentle reminder.”“You had better give the Nine Dragon Pearl to me respectfully.”“Otherwise, bear the risk of your actions on your own.”“Oh dear! I’m so scared!” Harvey’s lips curved into a half-smile. “I’m so scared, I don’t think I can even stand up.”Hector sneered at Harvey’s mocking words. He turned his gaze to the nervous auctioneer and barked coldly, “Just hit it with the hammer!”“Give it to him for 1.57 billion dollars!”“From now on, the Nine Dragon Pearl belongs to Harvey York.”The auctioneer dared not refuse Hector, so she could only drop the little hammer while trembling.This was equivalent to declaring that Harvey was the rightful
Harvey clapped his hands and said lightly, “Smash it!”Smash!Tyson instantly raised the Nine Dragon Pearl in his hands and smashed it to the ground, not caring to wait for anyone else’s reactions. Crack!The Nine Dragon Pearl, which had just been auctioned for billions of dollars, broke into pieces. Strangely enough, something resembling a black pill rolled out of it.Hector’s face suddenly changed colors, turning ugly the second he saw the black pill.He was not the only one. Everyone in the crowd was dumbfounded at the scene.Why was there a black pill inside the Nine Dragon Pearl?Tyson picked up the pill carefully and handed it to Harvey respectfully.Harvey took it, tossed it in his hand, and then said to the crowd, “Did anyone bring a dog into the auction house? If you do, can you lend it to me?”Many people were puzzled at hearing Harvey’s words.Hector’s face darkened. He yelled furiously, “York, what are you talking about?!”Harvey replied indifferently, “I mean,
