"Wow, wow, Captain, take a look! That's a Ferrari 812 Superfast limited edition. I heard that one has to pre-order from the company half a year in advance. Moreover, including import taxes, this car would cost at least twenty billion!"Spotting a dazzling red vehicle parked near the hotel's main entrance, Fox couldn't help but exclaim with excitement.His outburst attracted quite a few curious glances. Noticing Fox's dyed red hair and multiple earrings, the onlookers sneered. Clearly, in their eyes, Fox was an inexperienced playboy, hence his loud behavior in front of the hotel.Many onlookers started to grow wary, fearing Fox would act out and damage their vehicles.Consequently, the hotel's security team quickly moved in, scrutinizing the trio of Ethan, Fox, and Spinel."May I ask who you gentlemen are? Do you have an invitation?"Seeing the security's standoffish demeanor, Ethan gave Fox a side-glance. Fox immediately recoiled a bit, realizing his previous outburst had caused this
Hearing Fox's words, Aidan's expression changed slightly, but he soon laughed aloud."Brat, despite your young age, you sure talk big. Relying on a snot-nosed brat like you to wipe out my Azure Dragon gang? Who gave you such audacity?"As he spoke, Aidan's aura began to surge. His body moved fluidly, lunging at Fox with a punch.Boom!Aidan punched with an air of nonchalance, believing Fox could not possibly block his strike.But before Aidan could celebrate, Fox threw his own punch. It came after Aidan's but arrived first. Thus, before Aidan's fist could reach Fox, Fox's hand had already landed a direct hit on Aidan's chest.Boom!Fox
Crash!Just as fast as Aidan had charged forward, his body was now flung back at an equally terrifying speed, landing precisely on a group of his bodyguards.Thump!Before the guards could even react, they were swept off their feet by the rebounding force, tumbling onto the road. It took several rolls for them to finally come to a stop.Screech...At that moment, a car approaching from afar saw the men sprawled across the road and made an abrupt stop. A middle-aged man with a furious expression hastily flung the car door open, storming towards Aidan's men, yelling."What the hell are you guys doing? You got a death wish? You could have ended up under my wheels!"
"Go, hurry, and get Aidan medical attention!"Aidan's underlings swiftly acted at Finn's command, whisking him off to the hospital.Finn's gaze shifted at that moment, landing on Ethan and his companions."Was it you lot who caused all this trouble?"Finn had heard from his subordinates about a conflict with the security outside, about a fight with Aidan instigated by these people. This provocation pushed Aidan into a rage and led to the clash with Bellamy, the personal bodyguard of the young master from the Steven family.Because of this, Finn's attitude towards Ethan and his group was nothing short of hostile."Watch your words, old man. Who's here to cause trouble? My boss just wanted to attend the charity auction.It's the person of your dog-eyed masters who can't see the ivory and wanted us to leave.Or do you think my boss is not worthy of attending today's auction?"Despite being injured, Fox was defiant, bellowing at Finn.Finn felt a flicker of unease at these words. However,
Most esteemed guests were in the grand hall on the 61st floor of the New Hanbok Hotel.All who were invited to today's charity auction were significant figures in New Hanbok.Some were city officials. Others were owners of the province's leading businesses.Under normal circumstances, gathering them for an event would be a challenging task. A mere gesture or step from them could cause significant upheaval in New Hanbok.Yet, here they were, gathered in numbers.Even some underworld bosses were present at this charity auction.While the "great characters" were engrossed in discussions about the auction, in an unnoticed corner of the grand hall, three young individuals, two males, and one female, were seated.Apart from a red-haired youth with a somewhat erratic demeanor, the other two exuded remarkable calm.They were not conversing, silently observing the unfolding scenes around them."Captain, inviting even underworld figures to this charity auction, how bizarre.Knowing that they la
Hearing Ethan's declaration, Fox was slightly taken aback.In fact, before coming here, he had not known Ethan's true intentions. He only knew that Ethan had brought some items to the New Hanbok auction for charity to contribute to the Luis Suarez Corporation's charity fund.But now, knowing that the chairman of the Luis Suarez Corporation was Ethan's enemy, Fox felt highly bewildered.Fox knew well that Ethan was not the epitome of kindness. At times, he was even more terrifying than any underworld gangster. So why would Ethan want to aid his enemy's charity, even offering such a valuable treasure for auction?However, there was no time to ponder further.At that moment, on stage, Sapphire had again shifted the topic, beginning to auction off the items."Esteemed guests! As previously announced, today's auction aims to raise charity funds to assist children suffering from congenital heart diseases.Additionally, we aim to support some of our compatriots in remote and impoverished are
Although Muriel had not spoken a specific number, the majority present at today's auction were figures of renown in New Hanbok.Therefore, they merely paused for a moment.Soon enough, someone raised an auction paddle."I bid five hundred million for this painting!"Upon hearing a bid, those around immediately joined in the call."I bid seven hundred million!""I bid one billion!"The auction had only just begun, and the price of the painting had already been driven to the formidable sum of a billion.Though to those present, a billion was hardly a trifling matter.But indeed, they were still determining whether the legend tied to this painting was fact or fabrication.If it were merely a rumor, to pay such an amount for a worthless painting would be a capital loss.However, they had not come here for the money.Fundamentally, all understood a truth: their reputation would be further elevated only by spending lavishly at charitable auctions like this.Naturally, only some people harbo
When everyone was convinced there would be no further bids and that the painting now belonged to the Hammer gang's leader, a calm voice echoed from a corner of the auction house. Immediately, everyone was taken aback, their eyes collectively turning to the source of the vote.There was an immediate flurry of whispers..."Who is this person?""Has he lost his mind? Daring to spend such a vast sum on a painting? Could he believe that he could discover the mythical treasure?"It was evident that Ethan's audacious bid left the auction attendees stunned. Most of them deemed Ethan a fool.Regardless of the current circumstances, should he merely hike the bid a bit, it was plausible that Toshan would quit the auction.However, he raised the bid and escalated it to an astronomical figure, which was unimaginable to the rest of the participants.Even Muriel, standing on the stage then, stumbled over her words."One... One hundred billion?! Sir, if I hear correctly, you just bid one hundred bill
