The auction continued once again, but the atmosphere was slightly eerie.

Most items were successfully auctioned off.

However, the final prices were low, just average, lacking significant highlights compared to earlier intense competition.

Of course, they were there for charity, so only a few paid attention to this detail.

But on the stage, Muriel's face was quite sour.

She initially thought she would be the center of attention and her value would be elevated again.

However, based on the current situation, not to mention attracting the attention of the mainstream media, her reputation might even plummet today.

Even worse, her value might plummet significantly.

However, she was helpless.

In front of Ethan and Sapphire, she was merely a backdrop. Managing to keep up till the end of the auction was already a success for her.

So, Muriel's mood was not good, her gaze flickering to where Ethan was sitting.

Ever since the painting was successfully auctioned off, he hadn't participated in the

    Hearing Muriel's words, many were stunned.Usually, all attendees receive an invitation card for auctions like this, and nobody would spare the time to attend a charity auction without one in hand.Because of this, they had a very odd feeling.Could there be someone here who voluntarily came to donate to Luis Suarez's Long SP charity fund?With that thought, everyone's eyes followed Muriel's gaze.Then, their attention was focused on the three figures, Ethan and his companions."They didn't receive an invitation?!"Everyone's eyes widened at this revelation.But Ethan seemed unfazed.Even a hint of a smile played on his lips."What do you mean by that? Why can't we participate in the auction?!"Fox rose angrily, glaring at Muriel, demanding an answer.Seeing his reaction, Muriel shook her head in slight exasperation."I apologize. This is the rule of our auction house! If you don't have an invitation, I suggest you leave or stay seated. We have no further objections!"Hearing this, Fo

    While Muriel lingered outside, grappling with existential doubts, Finn found himself in the surveillance room, anxiety prickling at his heart. He glanced at Sapphire, still sitting indifferently on one side, watching the unfolding events."Madam, shall we proceed with the auction?" He asked.At his query, Sapphire's gaze fleetingly rested on him.Her gaze was sharp, startling Finn, who dared not meet her eyes.However, after a moment of silence punctuated by the delicate sip of her tea, Sapphire finally spoke in her calm, measured tone."Proceed? Why shouldn't we? Does he genuinely intend to present that gemstone to them?Even though Sapphire's words were icy and devoid of sentimentality, Finn, who had been at her side for many years, could perceive a simmering rage within her. He had witnessed her strategies, not once but multiple times, and the mere thought of Ethan's impending fall from grace, his inevitable humiliation, kindled a sense of exhilaration in Finn's heart.However, in

    Crunch...Crushing the paper coffee cup in her hand, Sapphire's eyes flashed coldly as she looked at Finn, whispering harshly: "Out!""Chairwoman, I...""Get out!"Finn wanted to explain, but at her shout, he bowed hastily and stammered: "Yes, yes, I'll leave at once!""Right, fetch Richard for me; I have a task for him!"Outside the door, at Sapphire's command, Finn's step faltered. His rotund form quivered, whether from fear or excitement. He controlled himself and responded: "Yes, Chairwoman!"Watching Finn retreating, Sapphire's eyes fell again on the screen mounted on the control room's wall, her mind turning over the implications of what had just transpired. Her eyes, it seemed, were filled with a determination forged in the crucible of this unexpected defeat.At this moment, her gaze was intently fixed on a particular spot on the screen, capturing the image of Ethan engaged in cheerful banter with a few individuals from the Master Byner entourage.Suddenly, her hand clenched ti

    Watching the car in front accelerating even more, Bellamy couldn't hold back and cursed angrily."Damn, are they trying to get themselves killed? Why are they driving so fast?"Even the driver, currently at the front, was sweating profusely."Sir, should we continue the pursuit?""Pursue, of course, we pursue! Keep up with them.If you lose them, don't bother returning to work for the young master, got it?!”"Yes, yes! I understand! I won't lose them!”Though somewhat distressed, the driver could only continue to nod in agreement."Captain, those guys have guts. They can keep up with my speed.But they are still too green!”Upon finishing, Spinel suddenly swung the steering wheel towards a sharp curve, maintaining her speed without the slightest change.In the car, Master Byner turned pale from fright.The world seemed to spin as his heart pounded heavily.Behind them, the driver of the black car was slow to react.He had just begun to turn the wheel when a speeding cargo truck appear

    Upon hearing Ethan's words, Darius did not hesitate at all. He firmly nodded in agreement."Whatever you ask of me, as long as it saves my daughter's life, even if I must be your servant, I will never refuse!"As he spoke, Darius even attempted to kneel, bowing his head to Ethan.But Ethan swiftly lifted him.Then, he spoke slowly: "Truly, the condition is simple.I want you to work for me in the future.Every month, I can pay you fifty of millions.Additionally, bonuses or commissions will be allocated by percentage.Just help my company's reputation grow; you will never lack opportunities!"Hearing Ethan's words, not just Darius and his daughter, but even Spinel at that moment was dumbfounded."Is this... is this too good to be true?"Initially, Darius thought Ethan would impose harsh conditions, making him pay a high price to save his daughter.But what kind of condition was this? Wasn't it just about making money?Although Ethan's offer was relatively low compared to his previous

    Fear already gnawing at her, Daisy paled at Ethan's words.She defensively covered her chest, stuttering: "What... What are you trying to do? You... You can't..."Retreating hastily, her posture radiated raw fear.Ethan hadn't expected his instruction to be misunderstood, triggering such an overreaction.In an instant, irritation flashed across his face, his eyes narrowing at Daisy."Young lady, what sort of nonsense is running through your head? I only asked you to remove your outerwear, not everything. Was such a reaction necessary? Besides, I am not interested in a child like you."With that, he glanced dismissively over her chest, a trace of scorn in his gaze.Seeing his expression, Daisy flushed with embarrassment and anger. Her teeth clenched tightly."You... You are a bad person!"Upon hearing this, Daisy turned her head away, her demeanor radiating anger.Looking at her, Ethan couldn't help but shake his head in resignation."Fine, keep your clothes on if you must. But if some

    "Captain, we're being followed!"Sitting in the front, Spinel could see through the rearview mirror two black and red cars trailing behind them.Hearing this, Ethan merely furrowed his brows, not opening his eyes.In contrast, his condition improved somewhat, looking significantly better."Hmm!"Seeing Ethan, who was concentrating on restoring his vitality, not intending to respond, Spinel refrained from further questions. Her eyes focused on the rearview mirror, keeping a watchful eye on the two vehicles trailing behind."Hmph!"The automobile carrying the pair had just surpassed the boulevard, making its way into a winding road.Suddenly, a red car burst into view, charging forward and cutting off their path.Upon witnessing this spectacle, Spinel's eyebrows involuntarily shot upwards, and she turned around, letting out a warning cry."Captain, be careful!"Crash!No sooner had her warning echoed in the air than a black car from behind slammed violently into their rear.Immediately

    Inside the secret base under the earth, the mysterious group walked along the corridor into a row of laboratories.Soldiers in protective clothing occasionally patrolled or led "test subjects" into empty rooms.Each room was equipped with many devices, tubes connected to large glass containers filled with a solution for nurturing these "test subjects."Of course, the mysterious group did not dare to enter. They just followed the corridor into an empty room.At this moment, a man was already sitting inside.He was wearing a metallic demon mask."Elder Joe!"When they saw the man in the room, all three men in black robes bowed to him and called out.The three were merely gold card assassins, while Elder Joe was a silver-ranked elder, a rank higher than them."Trio Star" is a clandestine assassin organization, the hierarchy of which is incredibly rigorous.Within their ranks, the silver assassins are members of their outer circle, distinguished by classes from one to three stars, most of

    “Destroy,” Ethan roared, swinging the Ancestor Blade powerfully. Countless beams of light converged on the sharp blade, launching a mighty attack against the skull.The Ivory Sage, not to be outdone, merged with the skull, which then seemed to gain intelligence. Its eyes glowed a ferocious red, and its enormous mouth seemed ready to swallow Ethan whole.The night and light, good and evil clashed, as if bringing the apocalypse.Black and white light intersected, splitting Mist Isle and the sea.The endless sea began to boil, everything disintegrating in moments.Then, under the white light, the terrible power exploded outward, with Ethan and the Ivory Sage standing at the center of it.“Retreat, quickly retreat,” Ricky and Green Dragon, astonished, commanded their armies to pull back.But they were too slow compared to the terrifying power.With a loud crash, dozens of warships were lifted tens of meters high, rocking violently.“Something’s wrong, protect the warships,” Green Dragon i

    Whoosh!A terrifying roar echoed throughout heaven and earth. Under the majestic aura, a golden dragon flew towards the skull phantom after Ethan's strike.The next moment, a collision that shook heaven and earth occurred.Evil and righteousness, the skull and the golden dragon collided. The sky was enveloped in a bright light."Retreat, quickly retreat," they shouted in horror, leading their people to rapidly fall back.The members of the Ivory Guild also began to flee.Under that power, a moment's inattention could lead to being swallowed up.Even standing at a distance, they couldn't help but worry.The sea boiled, with waves hundreds of meters high surging and crashing down, the momentum reaching the skies, the earth seeming to tremble."Mr. Alexander," Hugo and Lily exclaimed in shock.Even Green Dragon and Christian frowned. The power displayed was beyond their imagination. At this point, it was not easy to determine who would win or lose.After ten minutes, the huge waves fina

No wonder the Ivory Guild was so arrogant. It turns out they had a master."The Honored Ivory, so it's real," Ricky muttered, his words tinged with caution: "Not bad, no wonder the Ivory Guild has existed for so long."In front, Ethan narrowed his eyes, saying nothing as if he wasn't surprised, even appearing somewhat expectant.Was the Honored Ivory the person he was looking for?Unnoticed by anyone, the sky grew cloudy, the drizzle turned heavy, giving a cold feeling like winter in summer.Moments later, a water spout shot up from below Mist Isle, quickly reaching hundreds of meters high.Observing closely, one could see a person standing on that spout, clad in a black cloak with a skull pattern, appearing majestic.Under that black cloak was a mask, hiding the

    "Hmph, if you seek death, I'll oblige," Timothy grunted and moved to attack Ricky first.The battle ensued, a formidable power surging through the space."Christian, it's time to settle our scores," Solomon's three Judges from the Ivory Guild stepped forward, their faces filled with rage, seeking revenge on Christian."You think you're worthy? All three of you come at once," Christian said coldly."Christian, today you must die."The three Judges grimaced, their cold laughter intensifying as they lunged at Christian."Three against one, where's your honor? Green Dragon will join the fun," Green Dragon laughed and immediately stood beside Christian.The three Judges were the strongest under the Grand Mage, each at the tenth level. Christian alone might be at a disadvantage."Alright, let's see who kills more," Christian's fighting spirit surged as he licked his lips.Green Dragon wouldn't be outdone.

    Christian frowned but remained calm. Just an octopus attempting to confront Mr. Alexander was indeed naive.Sure enough, moments later, the black slime suddenly changed to yellow, and the tentacles seemed to be put through a meat grinder, turning into hundreds of pieces. Blood and flesh splattered, filling the sea with a pungent smell of blood.The octopus howled in rage, burying its head in the water. It wasn't dead; it was trying to escape.But Ethan wouldn't let it get away so easily. His eyes cold, he raised the Ancestor Blade high and slashed towards the octopus.The vast sea seemed to split in two under the power of his sword, even the water parting. The octopus barely had time to escape before it was cut in half.A white light emitted from the octopus's body and then disappeared. Even Christian was amazed by the power within that light."Sir, this…" Christian started to say but his implication was clear. This octopus was indeed artificially created, and if there were a hundred

    Seeing the armies before him, Ethan was deeply moved. Once, he was just an ordinary soldier, who had gone through tough wars to reach this day. Seeing his brothers, he saw himself in those glorious years. "Officers and soldiers, listen to my command." "Yes." After Ethan's shout, hundreds of thousands of soldiers echoed in unison. Whether it was Green Dragon, Lily, or Hugo, everyone appeared solemn, awaiting orders. "Ethan signaled for the army to board the warships, determined to eliminate the Ivory Guild today. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, invigorated, bravely embarked on the warships. The Ivory Guild's stronghold was five hundred meters from the Auroria border, reachable only by warship. It was imaginable that today marked a battle of life and death. How many of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers would survive and return was uncertain. Soon, hundreds of warships plunged into the vast sea, heading towards the Ivory Guild's lair. "Sir, according to intelligence, the

    The Elders of the Emperor Clan, who had lived for over a hundred years and possessed extraordinary strength, regretted that even facing Ethan, they could only do so much. "If he wasn't arrogant, he wouldn't be Ethan," the head of the Lee family sighed. "Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, please visit the Wind and Mac families." "After decades of seclusion, it's time for our Emperor clan to emerge." After Ethan left Auroria, the entire Flower Nation was abuzz. The five major war zones and tens of thousands of soldiers and officers moved day and night, and wherever they passed, the people rejoiced and welcomed them. The mighty army marched southward to attack the Ivory Guild. As the most dangerous organization in Flower Nation, the Ivory Guild was a target that needed to be eliminated. At this time, Ethan became a hero by eliminating harm for the people and was warmly supported by the entire nation. Not only that, but all three Emperors, who had been in hiding for decades, also took this

    Having said that, this person launched a cruel move towards the Heavenly Lord. The Heavenly Lord was unable to prepare in time and was killed immediately. “Okay, after dealing with that bad guy, next is the fight between us,” the head of the Ivory Guild glanced at Ethan. That Celestial Lord is nothing more than a puppet. The person behind the control and manipulation of the Ivory Guild is this Venerable. ……. Long Dao, Son Dinh. This is the place to worship the ancient Emperor. After thousands of years, only two people came here today. One person is Ethan, and the other person is the Venerable of the Ivory Guild who came because he was forced. The suppression of Ethan's great army caused all of this Venerable's subordinates to be defeated and have no way to retreat. At this time the Ivory Guild disbanded, only the Venerable of the Ivory Guild had to come here under Ethan's pursuit. When he arrived here, he saw Ethan standing on the mountain waiting for him.

    For example, at this moment, the strength he showed clearly surpassed the realm that Hoang Lao understood, so not long after the fight, Hoang Lao began to realize the problem, he began to scream. “Ethan, no matter how strong your strength is, you cannot destroy the Ivory Guild,” Hoang Lao said harshly. But unfortunately, Ethan in front of him just coldly cleared his throat: "Is that so?" After Old Man Hoang realized how strong Ethan was, he no longer restrained his body's strength. He used all his power, his main purpose was to kill Ethan. Seeing this, Ethan still stood as firmly as Mount Thai, not moving at all. At the same time, he clenched his fist and threw a punch, defeating all of Hoang Lao's defenses, making him basically unable to block. He was hit by a strong blow from Ethan, so he screamed in agony. “Ah…”, he was in extreme pain. Hoang Lao was so strong and yet at this moment he was defeated so easily, making the people around him surprised and speechless. They were un
