After Christopher came over, Curtis came up with a series of plots against Sean after a brief talk with Christopher.Victory Auction House was just the beginning.Knowing how terrifyingly capable Sean was, Curtis could not strike rashly.He had used the Lake family's connections to plan everything, only waiting for Sean to fall into his traps."Come on, it's time for the auction to begin. Come with me to meet my old friend."Curtis said with a smile instead of answering Christopher's question.After saying that, he walked out of the room with his two bodyguards, regardless of Christopher's reaction.Seeing this, Christopher felt a little resentful. After all, he was obviously older. Christopher made the Tatum family a vassal family of the Lake family because Christopher was on good terms with Curtis' grandfather.As Curtis' grandfather passed away, the Tatum family had become less important in the Lake family. Now, even a young man like Curtis could disregard Christopher, who a

"Show me your invitations, please!"Victory Auction House's staff checked the guests quickly. It was Sean and Zander's turn within minutes.They handed them their invitations and were let into Ocean Hotel after the staff checked them.As one of the top hotels in Ocean City, it usually had many guests staying at the hotel, but the entire hotel had been cleared of all guests because Victory Auction House was holding an auction there.Only those with invitations could stay at Ocean Hotel.With the staff's guidance, Sean and Zander quickly came to a huge room.The room, which was the size of two basketball courts, had been set up to look like an auction hall.Most of the rows of seats were filled, and only a dozen were left vacant.After finding his seat and sitting down, Sean saw two people not far away."Curtis Lake! He came too."Mr. Lennon, I'll go over and kill him now."Zander also saw the two men, and his voice sounded murderous.Sean withdrew his gaze and said with a ch

"This is the first of the five final artifacts!"The auctioneer said.Then, she tore off the black cloth covering the lot, and a painting half a man high appeared in front of everyone."What the f*ck? Is this Douglas Van Dough's Moon Lake Painting?""Really? Wasn't the Moon Lake Painting already sold? If I remember correctly, a wealthy merchant in Port City bought it for 400 million dollars.""Four hundred million dollars! A painting for 400 million? Did this guy from Port City hit the jackpot?""What do you know? The truly rich would even buy Van Dough's authentic painting for 4 billion, not just 400 million.""Yeah. Judging from your ignorance, you didn't know Douglas Van Dough had a Lumiere Mountain Waterfall Painting that sold for 3.6 billion dollars, did you? Lumiere Mountain Waterfall Painting would probably have sold for more than 5 billion nowadays."...As the auction lot was officially unveiled, the entire venue erupted into an unprecedented heated discussion.Van

"50th birthday? Look up the date when we get back, Zander."Sean glanced at the defiant-looking Curtis and said.Zander nodded and looked at Curtis with a sneer. His eyes were full of glee from the misery Curtis was about to suffer.Once Sean found out the date of Old Master Lake's 50th birthday, he would surely give him an unforgettable gift."Mr. Lake here is offering 450 million. Is there anyone else looking to bid further?"The auctioneer asked with a smile.However, the disdain in her eyes intensified.Although she was not as prominent as Curtis, she was accustomed to seeing various dignitaries in Dragon Kingdom. She was full of contempt when she saw how arrogant Curtis was.He was only from a noble family in Ocean City, yet he behaved so arrogantly."Sweetie, stop asking around. Just announce the result. I think everyone here is willing to do me a favor!"Curtis gazed at the auctioneer on stage and said with a chuckle.The auctioneer glanced at him and said with a smil

"Gosh, who is this? How dare he go up against Mr. Lake in Ocean City? Is he some big shot from Janestown or somewhere?""A big shot? This guy is only the boss of a security firm! Optimus Security Services, the company that caused a lot of trouble in Ocean City recently belongs to him!""Huh? He's just the owner of a security firm? Where does he get the nerve to go against Mr. Lake?"...Although Sean's Optimus Security Services had caused a lot of trouble in Ocean City recently, few people knew what Optimus Security Services was capable of."Hmph! Aren't auctions where the highest bidder wins?"The Lake family is rich, but they're not the boss of Ocean City!"An old but vigorous voice rang in a corner of the auction, drawing everyone's attention.They thought it was rare enough to have someone like Sean who dared to challenge the Lake family. Unexpectedly, there was someone else.Sean also looked at the source of the voice and saw Michael sitting quietly in the corner, looking

"Tell your father? Forget about your father. We wouldn't be afraid of your grandfather even if he were still alive."Theodore scoffed, his tone disdainful.Sitting next to him, Michael looked calm, and the two seemed to have no regard for the Lake family, who was known as the top family of Ocean City."Mr. Lennon, just bid. If Curtis dares to do anything to you afterward, we'll get him!"Theodore ignored the sullen Curtis, looked at Sean, and said.After hearing this, Sean had an inexplicable smile and looked at Curtis, saying, "Since Mr. Lake bid 600 million, I'll add another 100 million!"With what Mr. Lake is worth, this mere 100 million shouldn't bother him."Looking at the smile on Sean's face, Curtis felt his anger boiling.Everyone there focused their gaze on Curtis. They all had different looks in their eyes as if to see whether the heir of the Lake family would continue to raise the price.Moon Lake Painting was only sold for 400 million back then, and now it had been

The auctioneer said with a beautiful smile.Then she raised the wooden gavel and slammed it down, declaring that Curtis had successfully won Moon Lake Painting with 700 million.As Curtis won Moon Lake Painting, everyone present looked at Curtis with somewhat inexplicable looks, which seemed confused or sarcastic."This damn thing is still threatening Mr. Lennon. I want to kill him on the spot!"Zander stared at Curtis coldly as if he were looking at a dead body.Sean said nothing else and only looked at the stage with a smile, waiting for the auctioneer to bring out the next lot.Curtis dared to kidnap Willow to Ocean City, which doomed him to be a dead man to Sean.Only by destroying everything he was proud of and letting him fall into the abyss of despair could he not get away so easily.The auctioneer quickly calmed down and brought out the next lot.Since Moon Lake Painting, Curtis did not bid again, and Sean naturally would not bid again.He was not interested in these

The auctioneer on stage also looked confused when she saw Jadon.However, she recovered in a flash. Then, she looked at Jadon with a smile and said, "What do you mean by that, Mr. Quartz?"Would Victory Auction House steal this artifact from the Quartz family?"Jadon's body trembled slightly, apparently angry at what the auctioneer had said."Hmph! You know better than anyone how you got this thing."I'm afraid even the venom bug in my body has something to do with Victory Auction House!"Jadon snorted coldly, already striding toward the stage as he spoke.Looking at Jadon getting closer, the auctioneer looked flustered.However, her panic was soon gone, replaced by intense outrage.She was the auctioneer of Victory Auction House, with the behemoth Victory Auction House behind her. She could not be intimidated by the head of an Ocean City family."Mr. Quartz, this is Victory Auction House's auction. We hope you won't do anything out of line!"The auctioneer warned coldly.J
