However, Harvey frowned after listening to her words. “They even auctioned the national quintessence and the martial arts of the great Country H.”“Didn’t the Five Virtues Temple overdo it?”Leslie sighed. “That’s the clever part. The book of martial arts they took out only existed in legends in the past, and didn’t have any successor.”“Thus, no one could prove to whom it belongs to. They could only imply that it belongs to the Five Virtues Temple!”“Since they are auctioning their items, they could sell them to anyone. Who else could control them?”Harvey nodded, but his eyes turned cold.Promoting the culture of the great Country H overseas was a good thing.However, selling the quintessence of the great Country H out crossed Harvey’s bottom line.Leslie didn’t notice the slight coldness in Harvey’s eyes. She continued casually, “These are the reasons why this auction could attract a lot of big shots from all over the world every year!”“There are only three to five hundred

The invitation card for the Don family seemed to be neglected, as they were given the worst seats.Apparently, there were too many nobles from the upper circle of Hong Kong and Las Vegas.Although the Don family was a first-class family and were the Governors, they were still regarded as the misfits in the two cities where the capital was oriented.The Hamiltons and the Mendozas should have sent their representatives here too. However, there were too many people and Harvey couldn’t find them, so he didn’t go over to greet them.Nonetheless, Murphy and Sharon were still talking happily and loudly even after they were seated at the very center of the place. One couldn’t be sure if it was intentional or otherwise.They were seated near the middle, so everyone could easily see them.Harvey looked at this cheating couple with indifference.He wondered what kind of item was able to get the attention of the Empire of the Sun that Never Sets.Harvey then looked through the catalog in h

At present, no one else could figure out to whom the long sword exactly belonged.It looked quite broken, and didn’t seem to hold much value as a collection item either. After taking a closer look, many of the wealthy customers felt that the long sword wasn’t worth bidding.Especially when the starting price was 1.5 million dollars.Right then, Harvey could feel Sharon trembling in her seat. She was looking at the long sword with a passionate gaze, as if she was looking at her own father.Harvey immediately understood: she knew full well whom the long sword belonged to.In the end, this was to be expected. If anyone knew that Country H’s living legend used this sword before, countless people would stop at nothing to get their hands on it.It’d be better if the long sword didn’t end up with anyone else.Without hesitating, Harvey tapped on Leslie’s shoulder.“We’ll buy this.”Leslie glanced at Harvey, full of curiosity. She didn’t know why Harvey wanted the item, but she wast

In less than minutes, an intense auction took place. Now, everyone knew exactly how much the sword was worth.Several rounds of bidding later, Sharon stood up with clenched teeth.“Three hundred million dollars! I’ll buy it with three hundred million dollars!”“Whoever dares to fight me for it will be going against The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets!”When everyone heard that name, the entire crowd fell dead silent.The tycoons from the middle east and the Northern Europe princes who were among the crowd frowned. If Sharon only represented herself in the auction, it would’ve been fine to bid against her.But if she came in place of the royal family from The Empire of the Sun that Never Set, then doing so would land them in hot water.Everyone was aware how troublesome the eldest princess of the family could be.Forming a grudge against The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets for some broken saber wasn’t worth the effort, even if it was the weapon that once belonged to the He

Everyone gasped.Even if the owner of the broken sword would be given the right to request anything from the Head Coach, three hundred million dollars was a steep price.With The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets backing Sharon, who would dare compete against her?Even if they had a lot of money, they feared the nation would take revenge and hurt them.Despite this, someone was actually brave enough to increase the bid all of a sudden.At four hundred and fifty million dollars, no less!The unexpected turn of events had everyone bewildered.‘This kid who came out of nowhere is a little too bold, isn’t he?!’“Harvey, you bastard!”Murphy glared at Harvey, furious.“Are you screwing with us?! Do you even have this much money?!”“If you don’t, you’re ruining the organizer’s interests by raising the bid for no reason!”“Someone! Throw this man out of this place!”Sharon too glared at Harvey, her face twisted with hatred. “Don’t do anything stupid just because you want to ha

“Sold!”Just as Harvey was about to increase his bid, the distant voice echoed once again, carrying obvious arrogance. “Six hundred million dollars, sold to Ms. Pearl!”The sound of the gavel was heard immediately after.Harvey didn’t even have the chance to react.At this point, the Five Virtues Temple was no longer supporting Sharon in secret. They were blatantly standing by her side!Harvey’s gaze turned cold instantly.“This is improper!” he shouted, scornful.“I haven’t even called my bid!”“I’ll buy it for seven hundred and fifty million!”“The Maiden has already decided that Ms. Pearl is the winner.”The middle-aged priestess glanced at Harvey without even bothering to explain any further. She smiled at Sharon and said, “Please head backstage and pay first before you take the Head Coach’s broken sword, Ms. Pearl.”“As the representative of the Five Virtues Temple, I congratulate you.”Sharon and Murphy froze, rather stunned.They thought Harvey would keep going a

“That item is mine! I’m buying it for seven hundred and fifty million right now!”“According to the auction hall’s rules, the highest bidder always wins.”“Even if you’re confirming the bid, you need to call three times before slamming the gavel!”“But you locked in on the lower bid without giving the others any chance to bid?”“What’s the meaning of this?!”“Are you conspiring with The Empire of the Sun that Never Sets to sell them something that belongs to the people of Country H?!”“You people should know what this item represents!”“This belonged to the Head Coach!”“You’re already disrespecting him enough to auction something like this…”“But now, you’re even deciding who gets to buy it?! Are you insulting the Head Coach?!”“How dare you, you brat?!” The middle-aged priestess screeched back, livid.“Do you know the consequences of smearing the Five Virtues Temple?!”Young priestesses of the Five Virtues Temple appeared from all directions, all shooting Harvey cold glar

“Of course not,” Harvey shot back icily, his face scornful.“You don’t have to participate if you’re not satisfied,” Teal replied calmly, indifferent to his rage.“If you’re here, you’ll have to abide by my rules.”“I have the final say in my territory, after all!”“Alright, that’s enough talk. Take Sir York and leave, Ms. Clarke.”“I won’t argue with you. For your family’s sake, I won’t put you two on the blacklist.”“But there will be no next time.”Teal’s words returned to its cold and distant tone…As if she was the golden rule.“This is your explanation?”“These are the Five Virtues Temple’s rules?”Harvey chuckled calmly.“How domineering! You must be really confident in yourselves!”It seemed Teal didn’t hear Harvey’s words, or perhaps she just couldn’t be bothered to answer him. Either way, there was no reply.The middle-aged priestess hissed, “Come! Send them off!”Several Five Virtues Temple disciples closed in slowly, disdain evident on their faces. “Let’s g
