The price rapidly rose to two hundred million.Even then, only one-tenth of the participants had given up on the bidding.The ones who could come here were all obscenely wealthy.Of course, there was another important reason for their determination. Seth's works were simply too rare.He had only produced two works in two years.None of them knew when their next chance would be.The scarce supply drove the demand sky-high.For many people, they were not short of money. What they lacked was influence.When they possessed something that no one else did, they would be able to hold their heads high in front of their peers. Such rare commodities represented class and bragging rights.That was precisely why the price kept rising.Alora was thrilled.Her auction house had been running for several generations, but they had never sold anything at such a high price before.In the end, the painting was sold to the girl's grandfather for 220 million dollars.The girl cheered and clench
As soon as Zephyr declared his bid, many people immediately stopped trying to fight for it.390 million was not a small sum.Although these people were rich, it would be difficult for them to take out so much cash at once.Soon enough, he only had seven or eight other contenders.After a few more rounds of bidding, the price climbed to 400 million.After that, no one tried to contend with Zephyr anymore.Although 400 million was a steep price, Zephyr did not regret it at all.If he obtained this painting, it would be a door to more riches for him and his family.Just when Zephyr thought the painting was in the bag, Seth interjected. "I bid 405 million."Zephyr turned to look at Seth abruptly.When Zephyr saw that it was an unfamiliar face, he frowned.On the stage, Alora recognized Seth instantly. She was a little surprised, but she did not show it on her face.She did not completely approve of what Seth was doing, but she understood why he was doing it.Zephyr made anothe
After the auction, Zephyr regained his senses with a shudder. He instantly felt a trace of regret, and his eyes flickered with a vicious light."How dare that guy bid against me! It's all his fault!"However, this was not the time to throw a tantrum. He knew better than anyone how important this painting was.Just to be safe, he had to bring it home as soon as possible.As soon as he left the auction house, he got into his car, surrounded by a group of bodyguards, and headed straight for the airport.Zephyr and his crew did not notice that there was someone following them from afar.Naturally, it was Seth.His paintings were only worthy of those who were kind-hearted or well-respected.It would have been an insult to his name if a man like Zephyr possessed one of his paintings.He ran just about as quickly as Zephyr and his men drove.Besides, this was not even Seth's full speed. He could still go faster if he wished.Thirty minutes later, Zephyr's car was about to enter the
"Where did Mr. Wilder go? Why isn't he back yet?"Inside the auction hall, Alora was pacing back and forth anxiously.As soon as the auction ended, Seth was nowhere to be seen. She was afraid that something had happened to him.Alora was not a martial artist, so she could not sense the formidable secret behind the two paintings.It never occurred to her that Seth was a powerful Warrior. As such, it was natural for her to be worried.Soon enough, though, Seth came back.Alora was relieved, and she quickly walked up to him. "Mr. Wilder, you're back."Seth nodded. "The two paintings were sold for a total of 720 million, right? Take 20 million as compensation for your hard work, and transfer the remaining 700 million to this card."He took out a card and handed it to Alora.Alora's expression turned serious. "Mr. Wilder, didn't we agree to waive the handling fee this time? Are you going to make me go back on my word?""I agreed to that because I wasn't sure how much those two pai
Seth shook his head with a laugh. "Thanks, but there's no need for that. I've already got enough money.""Oh, okay." Rosemary nodded, then caught herself. Her eyes widened. "Wait, what did you say?"Seth showed her the bank message he had just received on his phone.Taken aback, Rosemary brought the screen right up to her face and counted off the series of zeros with the tip of her fingernail.She counted several times before she was absolutely sure.She then looked up at Seth in disbelief."How did you manage this, Seth? Don't tell me... Are you secretly a wealthy tycoon? Have you been pretending to be poor all this time?"It was the only explanation that made sense.Seth was not going to tell her the truth, of course.He just told Rosemary not to worry about the money anymore. The matter had been resolved now.They could use the remaining 100 million or so for other things.Tomorrow, he would go to South City with Lily and the others to participate in the auction.It took
The air stewardess was quite professional.She brought the man to the bathroom and even personally opened the door for him.She even wore a bright smile as she said, "This is the washroom, sir. Please go ahead."The man smirked. "Come in with me."The air stewardess' smile stiffened. "Sir, you must be joking. I couldn't possibly."The man grabbed her hand and pushed her into the bathroom. Then, he went in and closed the door behind him.In the washroom, the air stewardess' expression turned panicked. She opened her mouth to call for help.However, her entire body suddenly became extremely powerless and weak. She could not exert any strength at all. "My body… What happened to me?"The man grinned. "I didn't expect to meet a virgin on this plane. This is my lucky day!"If I take your virginity, I'll be on the verge of breaking through to Advanced Third Rank."The air stewardess widened her eyes and said weakly, "I didn't do anything to cross you, sir. Why are you doing this to
His internal energy pierced the man's abdomen and destroyed his core.The man opened his mouth to scream in agony.However, Seth strengthened his grip so that the man could not even scream.That man was in so much pain that he was about to faint. He glared at Seth with hatred and resentment.Now that his core was destroyed, all his years of hard work would go down the drain.Once others found out, his enemies would also come knocking on his door. He was fated to die a dog's death.Seth let go of him. The pot-bellied man was useless now.After that, Seth turned to the air stewardess and reached out a hand to help her up from the toilet seat.By now, the other flight attendants on the plane had heard the commotion and were rushing over.When they saw Seth and the air stewardess, they were shocked and instantly went on guard."Stop! What are you doing?""Let her go!"Seth secretly transferred his internal energy into the air stewardess' body to relieve some of her symptoms, gi
"Arghhh!!"In a certain hospital in South City, Zephyr let out a furious roar.Both of his arms were in plaster casts, and the doctor's prognosis had just cast him into the depths of despair.The doctor said that all the bones in both of his arms had been shattered.Even after they were treated, he would never be able to lift anything heavy for the rest of his life.It was the sort of injury that would never be completely healed.To put it simply, he had been ruined for life.It was all that man's fault."Kill him! I have to kill him!"Zephyr's expression was vicious and distorted, and he panted heavily.There were many people in the room, all direct descendants of the Lee family.However, other than his mother, no one else looked sad.Milton Lee said expressionlessly, "If Mr. Wilder was the one who did this to you, then you'll have to take this matter to your grave. You can't tell anyone about this!"The Lee family could not afford to offend a Grandmaster right now!"Fat
