"Many of the people here are just here to join in the fun, Raymond said, pointing to the seats below. "The more fierce the bidding, the more they enjoy it. Don't pay attention to them." As soon as she spoke, Thomas noticed that many of the people below did not behave as nobles or wealthy families would, but rather had a somewhat thuggish demeanor. "Forget what I said earlier," Thomas quickly shook his head. Elliott smiled and said, "I hope the treasure that collects spiritual energy today won't be too bumpy:" As soon as he finished speaking, he knew he had been too naive. He saw nearly ten lights flashing in front of him, all from the VIP boxes. That meant there would be at least ten families of the same level competing with him. The lights upstairs were the same, and the people below all looked up. For ordinary people, being able to witness the competition of so many great families was undoubtedly an honor and a pleasure. Elliott looked to the side and saw that both Walker and Dia
As soon as the words were spoken, Mr. Gray, who was not far away, made his bid. Some of the traders downstairs had planned to raise the price, but the bid of ten million from the other side immediately blocked their way! They could raise the price, but they had to bear the risk of making a mistake! The host looked excitedly at the other side and said, "The VIP in Box 8 has made a bid." Before she could finish her sentence, Mr. Gray on the other side made a bid of twenty million! "The VIP in Box 3 has made a bid." Before she could finish her sentence, she was attracted by a sign on the other side. Walker next to Elliott raised his sign. "Thirty million!" In less than three minutes, the auction had already reached a height of thirty million! The host on stage was already stunned and didn't know what to say! At this moment, Elliott, standing in the box, looked at the many great families bidding enthusiastically, and fell into silence. Raymond asked curiously, "Mr. Elliott! Didn'
As soon as these words Words were spoken, it caused a great commotion in the venue. No one had expected that Walker would spend billions just for a piece of jade pendant. But the shock didn't end there. After Walker raised the sign for one billion, Elliott quickly raised his sign amidst the surprise of Raymond and Thomas. "One billion and ten million!" No one had expected that such a piece of jade pendant would spark fierce competition between two major families. Walker was taken aback and his face turned pale. He never expected that Elliott would be able to offer such a high price! The surrounding families were secretly delighted. "Fortunately, we withdrew early, otherwise we would have suffered a loss now!" "That's right! This jade pendant is worth at most a few million! The guy spent a billion to buy it! Tsk tsk." At that moment, doubts and questions came from all directions towards Elliott, but he didn't mind at all. However, Raymond couldn't bear it and hurriedly asked
A young man, who was about the same age as Chelsea, stood up and looked at Elliott, saying, "Our Roberts family has always sent members of the family to participate in the antique competition. This time, an outsider was used. I don't accept it!" Chelsea looked a bit embarrassed when he saw this. The man in front of him was his closed-door disciple, Cain. When he was young, Chelsea brought him back to the Robert family. When he discovered that Chelsea was a natural talent in appraising antiques, he trained him as his successor. However, since Chelsea became seriously ill due to the broken dragon blood jade, he rarely saw Cain. Now, he was the only person who dared to defy his orders. Chelsea had a good impression of Cain, which was an indisputable fact in the Robert family. However, whether the participating contestants in this competition would change was not something that anyone could speculate about. Elliott was the first to speak when he saw Cain. "I wonder what I can do
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned to look in the direction of Cain. They saw that he had finished writing the price tags for each item and was now standing respectfully to the side. Cain's grandfather looked at him with admiration, and even Robert's family members next to him expressed their appreciation for his efficiency. Raymond looked worriedly at Elliott. After a while, Elliott finally put down the last antique and took a marker to write the price on the tag underneath it. As he put down the marker, there were murmurs of disapproval from the crowd! It turned out that Elliott was not only slow, but he had also written a price opposite to Cain's for the last item, which looked very similar to the others. Raymond recognized the last item as the most beloved treasure of Cain's grandfather, called the Twin Stars. Cain had priced it at one million, while Elliott had priced it at one dollar. This greatly shocked her! She hurriedly walked to Elliott's last item
"At this moment, Cain was completely convinced." The Roberts family was shocked to see this! Elliott looked at Raymond, who nodded, indicating that she had made the decision. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Get up!" Cain remained unmoved, looking at Elliott with a pleading expression that left him puzzled. At this moment, Cain's grandfather walked up, smiling at Elliott, and said, "A man's knees are worth gold, and only parents, teachers, and masters are worthy of such respect!" "This kid wants to worship you as his master!" "What?" Elliott heard this and looked at Cain, who nodded earnestly. He fell into deep thought, realizing that Cain's skills were indeed up to par, but his character still needed to be tempered. Taking him in seemed like a wise decision. Thinking of this, Elliott smiled and nodded. Cain quickly kowtowed. The Robert family looked at each other in surprise, not expecting such a sudden change of events! After accepting Cain, Elliott pulled him up. Cain
Under a sense of helplessness, Thomas wanted to understand his own life. He walked straight onto a sea-crossing bridge, and at that moment, everything around him seemed dim. Thomas looked down at the river water rippling under the bridge and prepared himself to jump. Just as he was about to leap, a pair of hands suddenly appeared and grabbed him. He quickly turned around and saw Elliott looking at him anxiously. "Talon, What's wrong with you?" Elliott brought Thomas to a tea house and ordered a cup of hot tea to warm him up. Thomas looked at Elliott's worried expression and couldn't help but burst into tears. "Nica and my father-in-law put sleeping pills in my soup after they found out I had a new spiritual jade, Thomas said. "When I woke up, I was lying on the street!" Upon hearing this, Elliott tightly grasped the teacup, and small cracks appeared on the surface like little snakes. "I should have thought of those two!" Elliott exclaimed. "Where are they? Let's go!" Elliot
Elliott heard Thomas's voice and rushed into the dining room, only to find it in a mess. The tables and chairs were smashed beyond recognition, and the wall paintings and potted plants were lying crookedly on the ground. It was a far cry from the grand opening of the restaurant. As Elliott followed the sound to the kitchen, he saw Griffen kicking Thomas, who was already lying on the ground with a head full of blood. Nica stood by with a look of disgust. The two were engaged in some filthy business when they suddenly heard a loud noise outside. They went out to see Thomas smashing the storefront that Griffen had personally decorated with a brick. Griffen, already angry because of the phone call from his family, picked up a brick and smashed it at Thomas. Thomas dodged and then rushed into the restaurant with stones and bricks, causing even more wanton destruction. Unable to bear it any longer, Nica joined Griffen in beating up Thomas. Despite locking the door, Griffen was st
