The first item put up for bidding was only meant to excite the guests and warm them up. The host and the other organizers certainly didn't expect the value of the customized cufflinks to skyrocket.

The guests were so excited that the customized cufflinks which were only worth thirty thousand dollars were sold at an astonishing price of fifty five thousand dollars to a businessman.

"Sold!" As soon as the host announced this, the hammer fell to indicate that the item was off sale.

Sitting amongst the first row designated for special guests was the star of the show herself, Charlotte. When she saw the price the customized cufflinks were sold for, her face lit up with a bright smile.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was particularly lively at the moment. The host quickly seized the opportunity and put up the remaining items for bidding.

Second item sold!

Third item sold!

Fourth item sold!

Fifth item sold!

One after the other, the items auctioned were sold at a dozen tim

    "Eight hundred thousand dollars!" The husband of the socialite raised his placard and directly increased the price. This action however got the other bidders excited. "Eight hundred and Fifty thousand dollars!""Nine hundred thousand dollars!""One million dollars!""..."Among the guests, Tiffany leaned on Wesley again and advised him, "Don't be fooled by the host. A used jewelry is a used jewelry. Why would one have to buy it at such an expensive price when you could easily get a brand new customized one at a cheaper price?"Tiffany shook her head at the guests excitedly bidding away. "Tsk... Tsk... These people really have money to waste. I would have missed this show if I stayed at home. Thankfully, I came."Wesley had seized the opportunity to create some distance between them. He was really uncomfortable with the way this woman was constantly clinging to him. He almost couldn't breathe because of her perfume.Thinking of this, Wesley looked in Kian's direction. He was startled

    Actually, he had purposely stood up earlier and raised the price. His words were meant to intentionally provoke others and it worked. The price of the necklace skyrocketed by several millions.This way Charlotte Lane will make more money than she estimated on her necklace and the best part was that he doesn't even have to spend a dime to win her favour.The nouveau riche grinned at himself proudly and patted himself subtly. He was a freaking genius!The other guests immediately understood his intentions. While cursing him inwardly, they also regretted not thinking about his tactic fast. If they had acted first, they would have been the ones noticed by Charlotte!But there was no use crying over spilled milk now. They also couldn't back down now. The nouveau riche had already stolen the lead, they had no choice but to play along and continue raising the bidding price.After all, the necklace held a strategic value. Even if they don't win it in the end, they still had to raise the price

    At this point, the bidding price had already reached thirty five million dollars. "I'll add another million to make it thirty six million," Master Hank announced with a somber face before looking up at Sophia and Franklin."But if you two bid further, I'll withdraw automatically."Franklin crossed his leg casually and shook his head with a smile. "But I'll add another five hundred thousand dollars to make it thirty six million, five hundred dollars."Meanwhile, Sophia didn't even look up as she informed them, "I'll make it forty million dollars."Franklin's eyes widened in surprise at her words. Master Hank's facial expression darkened and he clasped his hands together."Fine, I give up," He stepped back from the bidding war. As much as he wanted to collaborate with the Harrington's family, he couldn't possibly waste so much money. And he couldn't compete with these two. One has a powerful yet obscure background, the other has a similarly powerful background. Although regretful, Mast

    Could this masked man really be capable of providing a hundred million dollars on spot? Who is he? Where is he from? Who even invited him? Thinking of all these, Charlotte Lane was really hesitant and doubtful. Without bothering herself, she quickly made a decision. This masked stranger is probably just stirring up trouble. He probably can't afford a hundred million dollars not to mention buying a second hand necklace for that amount.At that moment, Franklin Faye also snapped back to reality. His face changed different shades of green, purple and finally red as he glared at Kian coldly.If looks could kill, Kian would have been killed a hundred times from the way Franklin was looking at him resentfully! 'Who the heck is this bastard?' Franklin gritted. Just like Charlotte, he also believes Kian is just stirring up trouble. A hundred million dollars for a necklace? What a joke!But Franklin was also feeling humiliated. Even if this masked bastard wants to raise the bidding price, c

    These people just throw money around like its water! Meanwhile, after hearing Franklin Faye's words, Charlotte was relieved. It seems she was worried for nothing. Thinking of the current bidding price of the necklace, her heart raced with excitement. Never in her wildest dreams would she have imagined that the useless necklace Franklin gave her would actually be worth this much."You fool! Can you see now that young master Franklin shouldn't be belittled?" Tiffany snorted mockingly at Kian. It was clear whose side she had chosen. "Think twice next time before you can try to show off in front of young master Frank.""What an ignorant fool!" One of the other guests also chimed in. "He foolishly messed with the Lane and Faye's families. He's done for! There is no escape route from this today.""What are you saying? He won't see the light of day.""How pitiful! It seems he isn't from around here. He should have stayed in his lane.""..."The banquet hall quickly turned noisy with the g

    As soon as the host finished speaking, Franklin's cold voice rang out, "Pay up! Don't you dare try to run now!"Charlotte nodded in agreement to his words.The host snapped out of his daze and packed up the necklace. Then he brought the POS machine forward, walking towards Kian unsteadily."Sir, I... need... to swipe your card to... complete the payment," he stuttered.Everyone in the room was focused on him and Kian. It made the former feel a bit nervous. If this masked man is indeed unable to pay, he may have to bear the brunt of Charlotte's anger later.Franklin and Charlotte had a similar cold but smug smirk on their faces. Subtly, they waved their hands in the air.To other people around, this was a simple gesture but Sophia was quick to notice the armed men in black that quickly sealed off the entrance and exit. They were undoubtedly guards from the Lane and Faye's families respectively.They looked as if they were ready to pounce out anytime Kian dared to make a funny move. It w

    The nouveau riche was grinning from ear to ear as he hurried forward to present the card to Franklin Faye. The latter collected the card and examined it closely. Then he glanced up at the card in the host's hands. Apart from the slightly different black design, there was really no other difference at all!A cruel smirk graced his lips. The cards were nearly identical! One could easily see they were almost the same. One could almost think that the nouveau riche's card was the original one while Kian's card was a fake! Haha!"You bloody fool!," He snickered at Kian scornfully. "Do you think this function is child's play? How dare you try to pull such a trick?"Charlotte Lane saw what was happening and was livid. Her face turned red and she glared at Kian. "Guards, kick him out of here!"The guests brimmed with excitement and immediately fell into a chatter of gossip. "I knew it! He looks so ordinary. How could he possibly afford four hundred million dollars?""Ridiculous! That kind of

    But Sophia was wiser. Her eyebrows had wrinkled beautifully as her eyes darted to Kian. The host seemed to have seen something on the machine's screen that knocked the breath out of his lungs."Master Franklin, this is not a hotel card!" Sophia looked up when the host finally spoke. He was trembling as he held the POS machine forward."This is really a bank card! It is an ATM card and the machine has a full display of its balance!"A hush fell upon the room. The guests who had been jeering at Kian and Wesley. Franklin and Charlotte were also taken aback.But Franklin wasn't too surprised. Instead, he asked casually, "How much exactly is in the card? Nine thousand dollars or nine dollars?"The host swallowed hard and shook his head. "One billion! Nine zeros in total!"As soon as the host's words fell, a wave of silence washed over the hall again. Everyone stared at the host blankly, stupefied beyond belief.Only Sophia wasn't as surprised as others. She arched her brow at Kian. Althoug

    Grimm and the other two elders who opposed the proposal had displeased and grim expressions on their faces. But Silas Nightingale paid them no attention. In his own opinion, the ten elders that chose to support his proposal and stand on his side were enough to completely defeat this masked man."Attack with no mercy!" Silas' eyes turned icy as he shouted fiercely. His words were a clear command to the other elders.Kill with no mercy!BOOM!Silas emanated a powerful murderous aura that was enough to make people tremble as he stormed towards Kian. He moved at such a lightning speed people could barely see his feet. Just then, something unexpected happened. Grimm had unsheathed his long sword and rushed down to the ring. The two other elders had also followed him down."Two of you, attack!" Grimm commanded in a low tone, brandishing his sword in the air.SWISH!The long blade surged forward and slashed at the throat of the nearest elder. The sound of slicing and piercing through fles

    Ambrose Darkmore thought long and hard before speaking. Eventually, he raised his grim face and said, "I agree with Silas' proposal."As soon as he spoke, a member of the Divine Sword sect immediately countered his decision, "Master, this is not right. It is inappropriate to—"Ambrose Darkmore's face darkened, and he snapped back in an icy tone without even allowing the man to complete his words, "Shut up! You have no right to question my decision!"The man's face turned red and shrunk back into his seat. He dared not speak anymore. Just then, another elder raised his hand. "I agree with Silas' proposal. It is time to elect a new leader for the alliance."Another elder with a huge scar nodded and raised his head. The scar on his face widened as he looked down at the ring. "Kieran is powerful. His injuries are certainly not that serious. They shouldn't affect him much.""Silas, I agree.""I also agree.""..."Each of the elders spoke one after the other, and soon, the voting results w

    "Silas, why go to such lengths?" Roland Harrington suddenly stepped forward with a dark face. "The alliance does need a new leader but why the sudden rush?"His words filled the hearts of many of Kian's new supporters with joy. They didn't expect that someone from the aristocratic Harrington's family would suddenly speak up for Kian.Not just someone. The patriarch of the family himself. At least, the aristocratic family also saw the injustice unfolding. Meanwhile, in the tent allocated to the members of the Sacred Shadow sect, Wesley had a strange expression on his face as he looked straight ahead at the middle-aged man who had just spoken up.It was strange indeed. The aristocratic Harrington's family was actually pleading for the general?!If the old man from the aristocratic Harrington's family knew that the person he was trying to plead for and win over was Kian Blackwood, the same person most if not all the aristocratic families wanted to eliminate...Would he stand there tall

    Slowly and gradually, voices rose in the square. Kian's previous performance had been so stunning. He had quickly captivated the hearts of many spectators. Now, there were a lot of people willing to support him and speak up for him. Even many disciples of the Heavenly Flame sect who were sitting behind Silas Nightingale had grim expressions, but no one spoke up.In the martial arts community, only strength is truly revered. Kian had already earned their respect through his actions. So, they were inadvertently dissatisfied with their leader's behavior. They looked at each other and began to whisper among themselves.Even if the elders see Kian as a threat and want to eliminate him, couldn't they have waited till Kian recovered, and then they could face him openly. "Silas, does it not seem a bit inappropriate to do this now?" Augustus Vane's facial expression had darkened as he questioned angrily. Even the members of the Sacred Shadow sect had all begun to glare at Silas. It wasn't

  • 0315: If The Former Leader Was Alive...

    While it may seem like the top aristocratic families of the Cascadia were equally powerful and reigning, only people at core positions like the patriarchs of the families including Roland knew the truth. The aristocratic Blackwood's family was not just the number one aristocratic family in Cascadia for nothing. They had long surpassed the other aristocratic families by a huge margin. Which was why even if some aristocratic families were offended with them regarding the attitude of that bastard from the Blackwood's family, they couldn't do anything much to harm the family. The patriarchs of all the aristocratic families also knew that it was only possible for the Blackwood's to be in this state because of the support of that mysterious force behind them. Roland Harrington had tried every means to extract information about those forces from the Blackwood's family. But that cunning old man, Mortimer Blackwood kept his mouth tightly short, refusing to reveal information about them

    Everyone could see Kian laughing carelessly and wiping the blood that was trickling down his mouth, but no one knew he was actually cursing inwardly. "Damn! If I knew acting was so exhausting, I would have asked Vivienne to give me some acting lessons," he mumbled to himself. With his physical strength alone, he could easily defeat Calvin and the other second tier leaders. Not only them, even if the elders of the council, including Silas Nightingale, Ambrose, and Grimm, decide to attack him simultaneously, he could still defeat them! After all, his martial arts level was that of a martial war god. A martial artist at the peak level of the war god was different from other levels and beyond human comprehension. But if this were to be revealed to the public, it would certainly cause uproar. Actually, Kian doesn't care if his identity is revealed to the elders of the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance Council or the aristocratic families of Cascadia. What he truly cares about is find

  • 0313: Master Is The Strongest

    The entire square was in utter silence. The whole elders council and the spectators were stunned speechless. At that moment, Silas Nightingale and other elders at the elders' council gathering felt more apprehensive towards Kian. A sense of fear slowly crept into their hearts. An overwhelming sense of fear. Martial arts training was just like studying. Its practitioners have their own advantages, disadvantages, specialities, strengths, and weaknesses. Some martial artists were excellent at attacking with fierce ferocity and strength, but their defenses always tend to be weak. Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore, and Grimm all belonged to that set of martial artists. On the other hand, some martial arts masters like several others in the elders' council were superb at defense, but their attacking abilities weren't so good. It was important to note that among the second tier leaders that Kian just killed, one of them was a sect leader who was revered for his defensive specialt

  • 0312: Not Just A Prodigy!

    THUD! THUD! THUD! The lifeless bodies of the first three second tier leaders that were used as sacrificial lambs were sent flying in different directions. The bodies hit the ground, and blood quickly pooled beneath them. At the same time, the remaining second tier leaders attacked. Punches, palm strikes, swords, and even a staff; all weapons channeled with powerful forces descended down on Kian. "So what if you are a martial arts prodigy?" Calvin laughed as he attacked. "Today, I'll bring you down on your knees and turn the tables—" Before he could even complete the word 'tables', the smile on his face froze. A horrifying realization dawned on him. Shouldn't Kian be bleeding from all the weapons and pleading for mercy now? How could the masked bastard still be looking at him tauntingly?! "Tsk! You foolish old man! You think you know it all," Kian clicked his tongue and spoke loud enough for only the second tier leaders to hear him. Calvin's eyes dilated at his words. His compan

    The remaining second tier leaders didn't hesitate to charge forward. They unleashed their full strength as they stormed towards Kian. The ring was big and wide but for these furious martial arts masters, closing the distance between them and Kian was easy. They moved swiftly, reaching him in a blink of an eye. SWOOSH! The sharp slice sounds in the air echoed as they threw their strongest punch, others kicks and some their weapons. At that moment, Calvin's eyes shone with a fierce glint. Just as he was reaching Kian, he slowed down his punch, twisted his body, extended a leg and delivered a powerful kick. BANG! BANG! BANG! The loud thud sounds resounded three times as the three closest second tier leaders to Kian including the female leader who had protested earlier were caught off guard and struck hard in the back! "Argh!" "Ah!" "Ugh!" They groaned consecutively and stumbled forward, directly into the path of Kian's spear! "Calvin, you old bastard!" "What are you doing
