“Good, very good. A tiny ant dared to challenge a dragon. I’ll remember this! Let’s wait and see what happens next!”After spitting out these final words, Zephyr walked away.The four women also struggled to get up and followed him out.The other families from Jonesville looked at each other.Then suddenly, they all walked up Seth, with fake smiles on their faces.“You truly are young and promising, Seth Yeager.”“Impressive, simply impressive.”“We should collaborate in the future.”…Seth did not show any signs of repulsion toward their goodwill.Instead, he also smiled and chatted with them.Of course, this was all superficial.Seth had no intention of letting these fools go. He was just temporarily deceiving them.Seth would find an opportunity to deal with these people.They had no idea that Seth was thinking about taking over all of their assets at this moment. They thought he was mature enough to be able to let things slide.What they feared most was Seth being
“I was hoping that Seth would also be involved in this project.”Lily’s expression remained the same, she had guessed as much.Plus, she also wanted to repay Seth for saving her grandfather earlier.While nodding, she said to Seth, “Let’s talk about it in private, Sethy?”“Okay.”Several of them went to the next reception room.The experts that Lily brought carefully inspected the inside and outside of the room.They confirmed that there was no bugging equipment and left.Mila and Haven stayed behind.Lily knew both of their backgrounds as well.Mila was a Fifth-ranked Warrior, but she was not good at fighting and her practical strength was similar to Jack’s.As for Haven, she was a Peak Third-ranked Warrior, but she had mastered some kind of secret technique that could instantly explode several times her own strength, making her equivalent to a Fourth-ranked Warrior.Lily had thoughts of trying to win them over too.The group sat down around the table, and Lily began to s
"I don't have the money now, but I will in a few days."Lily pursed her lips. "Don't force yourself, Seth. Five hundred million is not a small sum."Even for her family, it would take a lot of time to gather five hundred million in cash.Seth smiled. "Don't worry about that. Just tell me if you want to do it."Exchanging five hundred million dollars for 10% of the profits was actually very reasonable.Seth did not demand an exorbitant price just because he had saved Lily's grandfather.Lily agreed immediately. "If you can give me five hundred million, I'll give you 12% of the profits.""There's no need for that," Seth refused. "I only saved your grandfather out of my sense of duty as a doctor. I don't want to bring profits into that relationship. Ten percent it is."Lily was somewhat moved.Seth had actually refused an entire 2% of the profits.If they made an annual profit of two billion dollars, 2% would amount to 20 million a year, and 200 million in ten years.This was n
Fenton proudly praised Alaska's fiance to the heavens.At the same time, he treated Seth like the dirt he could trample underfoot. He had nothing but contempt for the young man.Seth smiled, but there was no humor in it."I'll let this slide for Alaska's sake."With that, he tried to ignore Fenton and walk past him.Fenton flew into a rage, shouting at Seth, "Brat, I'm trying to help you here!"Alaska's fiance is a god on earth, a real prodigy! You're nothing compared to him. Don't overestimate yourself!Seth shook his head. Some people were just so full of themselves.If that fiance was a god on earth, Seth was the God of the Universe. That man would be nothing in front of him.Seth could not be bothered to argue with Fenton in public, so he left briskly.Fenton watched Seth leave with an extremely dark expression. In the end, he harrumphed loudly!"You reckless little brat, just you wait. Soon enough, you'll be smashed into pieces!"With that, he left in a huff.When Set
At that time, his works had been auctioned for 26 million and 28 million respectively.His final masterpiece had even gone for as much as 68 million.He had used all the proceeds to build charity schools in the most remote corners of the country.Back then, he had appeared out of nowhere. With just these three works, he built a stunning reputation for himself.Countless art collectors went around asking about him, trying to buy more of his original, authentic works.However, after that one time, he never sold any art ever again.There was a very simple reason for that.It was because he consumed a lot of internal energy whenever he painted something.He used his abilities as a grandmaster to enhance each of his works.That was precisely why his works were so highly sought.Art created with martial arts transcended the usual definition of painting.Instead, his works took on another life of their own.In fact, if some warriors spent enough time admiring Seth's works, they ma
The beautiful woman quickly stepped forward, extending her fair hand to Seth. "Hello, Mr. Wilder. I'm the owner of this auction house, Alora Lawrence."Seth reached out and shook her hand.Her hands were soft and perky.Her skin was also very smooth. It was simply irresistible, but Seth pulled back after a slight touch and did not linger."Hello, Miss Lawrence. Let's skip the pleasantries and get to business."Alora's impression of Seth improved.This man looked plain, but he was a true gentleman.Most men would definitely entertain some uncouth thoughts when they saw her.When they shook her hand, they were always reluctant to let go, as though they wanted nothing more than to touch her for ten more minutes."Very well, this way please."Alora led Seth into the auction house and all the way into the VIP room.After hearing the news of his arrival, eight or nine bespectacled master appraisers immediately rushed over."Is this Mr. Wilder?""You look so young.""Mr. Wilder,
The roaring river swirled around her, like an evil dragon trying to swallow her whole.It took her a while to come back to her senses.Alora was the owner of the auction house, after all. In a way, she was an expert appraiser in her own right.She fell in love with the two works just by looking at them, so much so that she really wanted to take both paintings for herself.Unfortunately, she knew that it was impossible for her to buy them with her finances.Inside, she even regretted coming over to take a look. If she had not seen the paintings, it would not tear her up inside to see them sold off to someone else. The other eight or nine old men felt the same way. Naturally, they wanted to keep such masterpieces for themselves.Alora composed herself and addressed Seth respectfully, "Mr. Wilder, I have a proposal for you."I'll give you all the proceeds from the auction of these two works aside from the tax fees."I'll even give up the handling fees. All I ask is that you come
The girl was so bored that she began to yawn.After waiting for more than ten minutes, Alora finally appeared.Behind her were more than fifty security guards, all of them fully armed.She had even invited many officers from the police department because too much money was at stake this time. She was afraid that something might happen.Alora was a smart and decisive woman.After going on stage, she gave a few words of welcome before heading straight to the point."Mr. Wilder entrusted us with two works this time, both of them masterpieces. The first is this one, titled Bamboo Forest."She unfurled the scroll herself. Then, a bunch of projectors came on, magnifying the image on the screen.Everyone who made it to the auction today was an art expert.When they saw the oil painting, many of them immediately leaped to their feet, including the girl's grandfather. He was extremely beside himself."Oh my god! That painting is simply amazing!""As expected of Mr. Wilder. It's even
