Kronk's lips twitched. He wanted to dismiss the situation at first, but his fear of losing that much money made him decide to follow Seth's advice. They brought out some vinegar and began fumigating the scroll.All eyes in the room were locked onto the scroll as it was subjected to the test. The impersonator, on the other hand, was anxiously scanning the room. He was searching for a possible escape route. Unfortunately, every exit was guarded, and he had no chance to flee.As the scroll was fumigated with the vinegar, it began to exhibit clear signs of aging."It's really getting old!""Oh my god, does this mean the painting is a fake?"The elderly gentlemen present, experts in their field, approached the scroll and examined it closely. They even used various tools for further analysis. The results were consistent with the fact that the painting was indeed from hundreds of years ago.Although it shared similarities to Seth's style, the impersonator had altered it slightly. It bec

"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight has truly been an eventful one!"The youthful and beautiful host, after a few brief words, got straight to the point. "As Mr. Wilder intended, the starting price for this painting, named 'Dragon Traverses the World,' is 100 million, with each bid increment being not less than ten milli—"Before the final word was even said, Kronk opened the bidding by shouting, "500 million." He was determined to win this painting because he believed that the painting was of him and that he was the dragon in flight.Jade refused to back down. "600 million!"The host was so shocked that her jaw dropped. She had hosted many auctions, but none of them had been as insane as tonight. The bids kept increasing by a hundred million each time, and even that did not extinguish the enthusiasm of these wealthy bidders.The price continued to soar. In no time, the figure reached 800 million. At this point, some of the people had regained their senses, but a small group of them we

Seth was momentarily puzzled. "You'd be okay with what?"Jade punched Seth's chest playfully and said, blushing, "Oh, you're so annoying. You're just asking for the sake of it now. Hold on. I'll take a quick shower."With that, she turned around and went back to her room, leaving Seth rather bewildered.He shook his head and went to check on Alaska. At the door, he listened carefully. Both mother and daughter were sleeping soundly together, their breaths steady. Seth decided not to disturb them and returned to his own room to take a shower.Meanwhile, Jade entered the bathroom, removed her clothes, and took out the precious bath gel that cost her a heaping fortune. She had only used this gel once on her wedding day. It was one of ten limited-edition bottles in the world. It was so expensive that even the wealthy could not purchase it.She applied the gel to her body. It had a pleasant fragrance that had the power to subtly awaken the deepest desires within a person. The scent imme

Jade leaned in again. Her big eyes were seductive as she looked somewhat aggrievedly at Seth."I like you. Just take me. I have never been touched by any man except my late husband."I'm cleaner than many women, and you can rest assured that I won't tell your girlfriend about us. I'll be your secret lover from now on."Seth sighed to himself.Jade's words were lethal.She was a powerful businesswoman worth hundreds of billions of dollars, and now, she had let go of her pride and was behaving like a feminine woman. She was even speaking humbly.Seth was not a stone-hearted man.Seeing Seth still unfazed, Jade could only use her trump card.She said to Seth in the softest voice ever, "Okay, my master?"The power of that statement was immense.Seth's vital energy, which took a hard time to calm down, began surging again.Jade knew it was working when she saw Seth's expression. She immediately struck while the iron was hot. "Master, master, master. Daddy, daddy, daddy."As she

Seth asked. "What happened?"After last night, the two were already ‘comrade-in-arms’ with a tight bond.She looked like she was facing big trouble.Seth would help if he were able.Jade forced a smile. "No need for now. Rest well at home."She did not want to give Seth the impression that she was incompetent.Jade and several female bodyguards rushed to one of the five-star hotels she owned.There was already a crowd outside when she arrived.The police department had put up a police line.Many media were frantically taking photos and broadcasting live."Everyone, according to our sources, there was a murder today at Imperial City's top hotel, Solar Hotel. It is suspected that a female hotel employee secretly worked as a prostitute and brought customers to the hotel for their transactions. Perhaps the murder occurred because they could not negotiate the price."Solar Hotel's female manager allegedly killed the customer because they could not agree on the price."Such a ter
