Elmer noticed this and asked curiously. "Valerie, did you think of something?"　　Valerie smiled smugly and said, "Auctions are not only about money but also about a battle of wits! The Benson family suddenly put the Golden Pearl Crown that’s the highlight out as the first auction item, so what would the other people think? Surely they’ll think that there’s something better than the Golden Pearl Crown as the final item.　　"If they think so, they won't throw their weight around! The reserve price of the Golden pearl Crown is only about one million at most, so I just need to drop the five million given by Mr. Hanks at the opening of the show, then I can definitely scare them off!"　　As soon as Elmer heard that, he nodded his head and said, "That makes sense!"　　As soon as the words fell, a high-pitched sound was heard on the auction stage, and the auction had officially started.　　Seeing this, Valerie immediately and impatiently pressed the bid button in front of her and said, "Five

He bid a hundred million?　　This was simply impossible in Valerie's opinion!　　Could it be that Fred had shouted a random price in order to get her attention on purpose?　　The more Valerie thought about it, the more she thought it was possible!　　After all, shouting a price did not mean they could make payment!　　Valerie looked at Fred with disdain and said, "Fred, I really despise you more and more! In order to get my attention, you actually did such an outrageous thing! 100 million! Do you know how much that is? That's your whole life. No! Even if you work for another lifetime, the money that you earn still wouldn’t be enough!　　"You actually did such a thing at the Benson family’s auction under the eyes of so many people. Are you tired of living? Do you think that this kind of behavior of yours, trying to pretend to be something you’re not capable of, will make me look at you differently? You’re wrong! You’ll only make me despise you more! You’re always the same—hopeless and u

Stellar spoke up immediately.Ocean Group?Fred was immediately a little suspicious but next to him, Tyne said, “Mr. Hoffman, that’s the Ocean Group who submitted their agency application to us yesterday!”Fred finally recalled who they were when he heard this and sneered, “Is it the same Ocean Group who you mentioned has a strong backer?”“Yes!”Tyne immediately nodded. “Ocean Group’s backer should be related to the Sea City government as well as its opposition parties. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to cut off supply to all of Fantastic Group’s businesses in Sea City in just one night!""So, you’re saying Ocean Group is a local tyrant?" Fred laughed."Yes!"Tyne nodded again before reminding him, "Mr. Hoffman, Fantastic Group might be a big business, but if we confront Ocean Group head-on in Sea City considering their backer, I'm afraid we’ll suffer a huge loss!"Fred immediately laughed the moment he heard the remark and said, "It seems that I will have to visit

It was nearly 20 billion!Despite that, that person actually said that he wanted to annex these industries for only 200 million dollars. He even threatened to close down the businesses to that end. To Tyne, this was simply an act of robbery!However, it was obvious that Ocean Group was intentionally being as shameless as they possibly could.There was a round of applause after the robber finished his speech.On the other hand, Tomas looked to the side at Fred, who had been smiling all along. He asked with an expression that was half-amused and half-threatening, "Mr. Hoffman, what do you think?""What do I think?"Smiling lightly, Fred replied, "The industries under Fantastic Group are worth 20 billion dollars but you want to annex them for 200 million, Mr. Brume? Were my ears deceiving me or did you miscalculate?"You did not hear it wrong, of course, Mr. Hoffman! However...we didn’t miscalculate either!" Tomas said with a smile.That smile was making it clear that Fantastic Gr

After he said that, Fred looked at Stellar who was standing beside him.Stellar immediately took out a walkie-talkie and said loudly, "The Great One has given his orders, bring it down!!!"Boom!The earth shook the moment he said that!From what Tomas could see with his naked eyes, he spotted five steel behemoths with hammers hanging from them, slowly emerging and then approaching Ocean Tower."This, this is impossible! This...this..."He saw this and looked at Fred who was standing with his hands behind his back. Tomas finally realized then that Fred was not joking.He was really going to tear down Ocean Tower!Just... how could he? How dare he?Had he no idea who the person behind the Ocean Tower was? Or what background they had?"You’re crazy! You’re a lunatic!" "Do you know how many people are near Ocean Tower? How many buildings? As if you have the gall to do it?" Tomas exclaimed."Ten times!"Fred smiled lightly and said, "Anyone who is affected will receive ten tim
