Chapter 5682
The Black Card was a symbol of great status and also represented Harvey York’s wealth.Aria Surrey thought he only had the combat prowess to back himself up. Her heart was throbbing nonstop while she was completely sluggish.She thought showing Harvey’s immense wealth would probably make Harvey look up to the family…But she understood that Harvey was more than meets the eye.A man close to being a God of War having a Black Card…People like that would surely have immense strength and riches.He most likely also had immense authority in Golden Sands as well.The Surrey family could not find anything about him, probably because of Harvey’s extremely high status.This would explain his calm demeanor despite what had happened.After all, why would a powerful man like him even argue with someone lower than him?Worms would always remain as worms, after all.Aria quickly hid the last bit of her pride when she respectfully spoke.“I heard many people here are interested in this,
Chapter 5683
Aria Surrey seemed slightly angry after seeing Miley Surrey’s actions.She quickly composed herself before speaking again.“That’s no ordinary man, Sir York.“He’s one of Aenar Temple’s Four Consuls…“Stefan Augustus!“It’s said he’s Great Wall’s closed disciple. Not only does he have an immense identity, but his combat prowess is also impressive.“Miley has a high status in Aenar Temple, but she’s just an ordinary woman before a man like that.”Aria wanted to call Miley a mere plaything, but she could lower the Surrey family’s status for claiming such.Harvey gave a chuckle.“So, he’s also here for the One-Eyed Bead?”Aria lightly nodded.The Eyed Beads had profound significance.The Mandala One-Eyed Bead was also said to be the first one created by the founder of a sect.Whichever Great Temple that acquired the bead could announce their total authority.“Oh? Isn’t that my dear sister?”Miley noticed Harvey and Aria, and she smiled while swaying her legs around.“I hea

“You do?Stefan Augustus snickered before leaning on his chair.“Do you have something to do that’s more important than me right now?“Stay back after the auction.He quickly snapped his fingers to cut Aria Surrey off before she could even speak.“Let’s continue.”His calm words seemed irrefutable.Nobody would even let out a single breath at this very moment.Miley Surrey peeled a grape before feeding it to Stefan with her mouth.In front of the consul, only a gentle look could be seen from the proud Fourth Lady.The auctioneer showed admiration while looking at the sight. Only consuls of sects could make one of the ladies from the four great tribes obey him like this.Stefan looked around him, completely ignoring everyone’s gaze.“You’ve all seen the One-Eyed Bead.“I can safely tell you all, just like the legends say, the bead is indeed created by the legendary founder!“Of the Eight-Eyed Beads, this is also the first to be created!“The bead is a true treasure! A hig

The auctioneer stared at Harvey York.“You shouldn’t be spouting nonsense, Mister!“You better prove that you have that kind of money, or you’ll have to pay the price!”Swoosh!Harvey grabbed his Black Card from Aria Surrey before flicking it at the auctioneer’s table.“You should know what it means, right?”The auctioneer’s eyes twitched after seeing the card.He knew Harvey had an impressive status since he came with Aria.But he least expected that Harvey would have a Black Card!Less than ten people in the outskirts even had such a thing…Harvey’s card showed that he had immense wealth.Even Stefan did not have a Black Card.Simply put, Harvey had the right to challenge him.Without a second thought, the auctioneer hesitated momentarily before respectfully handing the Black Card over to Harvey.He could not go against Stefan, nor should he oppose someone with a Black Card…Even if Harvey was here to cause trouble.Many people sighed after seeing the sight. Nobody th

Everyone instinctively looked at Stefan. They wanted to see what the well-known consul would do in this situation.Stefan raised his head to look at Harvey without much of an expression. However, he couldn’t help but apply a little more force when grabbing Miley’s leg.After taking a deep breath, he spoke up again.“Two hundred and thirty million!”Many froze after hearing the number. Was Stefan planning to go crazy like Harvey? Judging from his discreet behavior, he wasn’t one to use that much money. Maybe he was enraged by what he was seeing. Maybe he lost his cool because of it.Miley’s eyes twitched; she wanted to stop Stefan, but she remained silent.The auctioneer showed an odd expression, but then quickly knocked his gavel.“Mr. Stefan with two hundred and thirty million! Will anyone go past that? If not, then…”“Three hundred million,” Harvey said with a calm expression.Everyone present were all from the outskirts’ elite social circle, but their hearts skipped a be

Bam!Stefan couldn’t stop himself from standing. He broke the table in front of him with a single kick, then slowly stepped forward.“I don’t know where you came from, kid…” he said while squinting at Harvey. “But do you even have that kind of money?”Harvey waved his Black Card around with a smile.“I can afford way more than that. Why, are you angry about it?”Harvey loathed Stefan the moment he talked about getting closer to Aria.“Of course not. I won’t compete against you, either.”Stefan glared coldly at Harvey. His usually gentle expression was completely gone.“I’d like to see how you’re planning to take the bead out of here, though…“You’ll arouse jealousy walking around with that, won’t you? You of all people should know about that, right?“I believe the bead will only give you bad luck. You might just get buried six feet under without knowing why! There’s a lot of soil in the outskirts, after all!”Stefan’s words were filled with nothing but threats.The auctione

The crowd was praising Harvey’s generous behavior. However, they soon looked at him with playful disdain. So what if Harvey was rich?In the end, he’d just turn into someone else’s storage. An outsider like him wouldn’t be able to go against Stefan’s army in the outskirts.‘He’s probably not getting out of here later…’Stefan went back to his seat, casually sitting down once more.Miley stretched her legs out for him to play with. Then, she brought out her phone to make a few calls. It was clear that she was calling for support.The air grew tense. Those who were cheering for Harvey started feeling disappointed.‘Men should have money, but also self-awareness!’‘What is he trying to do for going against someone he can’t?’‘He’s just trying to die at this point!’‘Who knows if he just likes to play with money and his life?’‘I guess I’ll visit his grave next year, to honor his courage…’Aria hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to keep her mouth shut. She knew H

The Nine-Eyed Beads had significant meaning that had already surpassed their value. If the One-Eyed Bead was snapped in half, history would be broken.The sacred treasure would be lost forever.Harvey was simply insane for suggesting something like that!Stefan appeared nonchalant at first, but…“What did you say?!” he exclaimed, springing out of his seat.“I said, I’m snapping it in half to protect myself.” Harvey smiled casually. “1.3 billion dollars to protect me from a disaster that would cost me ten times that amount… That seems worth it, no?”Harvey twirled the One-Eyed Bead around.Many stood up and started to pant. Even without Harvey doing anything, everything would be finished if the bead dropped to the ground!‘He’s insane! He’s definitely insane!‘Stefan has no morals, but Harvey’s on a different level!‘By doing this, he’s about to go against everyone!’Miley couldn’t help but stand, her face cold.“Is this man insane, Aria?! He wants to snap the bead in half?
