"301 million dollars!" At this moment, Hawk gritted his teeth and forced out a bid. It was obvious he was also determined to get the Staff of Jekuthiel. Even when the bid had already been driven up to 300 million dollars, he had no choice but to maintain his course.When Juliana heard the bid, she was even shocked despite being from one of the Seven Families. That was 300 million dollars, not 300 dollars!Before the others could even marvel at how rich Hawk was, Harvey said calmly, "Like I said, calling like this is so boring. I'll raise it to 450 million dollars!"Harvey's tone was calm, but the amount he dropped was enough to make the entire auction hall fall into a frenzy. No one expected Harvey to bid so aggressively.However, it proved that Harvey was an absolute madman. On the other hand, it also proved that Harvey was really after the staff. Many of them even believed that this was just the tantrum of a nepo baby. From that angle, the one who was really causing trouble

"I'm not the one who wants to declare war with you," Harvey said coldly, "but you owe me an explanation. I played by your rules, but you locked the price. Now, you said I'm declaring war on you? If you don't give me a proper explanation, I won't let this rest!"The entire hall was filled with deafening silence. No one dared to speak up and support Harvey. While Harvey had the reputation, to the socialites of Grand City, he couldn't stand on the same level as the Priesthood, who had been here for a long time.Hawk and Juliana sneered openly.An explanation?Since when did the Priesthood owe anyone any explanation?Alexei wanted to stop Harvey and failed, so all he could do was pull out his phone and send a message.At this time, the Priestess's voice slowly rang in the auction hall. "The Priesthood doesn't owe anyone any explanation when we wish to sell something to someone. But since you're the Representative of Country H Martial Arts Alliance, I will give you the explanation

At this time, the old man on the stage said with a smile, "This is the Hierophant's prophecy for each major Sacred Lands in the near future. Those who obtain it will gain foresight in the next year, allowing one to outmaneuver and gain before the battle even begins.""The Hierophant originally didn't want to make any prediction, since everyone could see that each major Sacred Lands would be facing great change in the next few periods. He had to pay a certain price to divine such fates. But to give the auction its climax, he gave it a long consideration before deciding to meditate for three days and nights to produce this rune."The bid for the Oracle Text starts at 15 million dollars, and each bid must be at least 15 million dollars," the old man said seriously.All the guests in the auction hall grew excited because of the old man's words. Everyone wanted their faction to be ahead of everybody else next year.Just as everyone was reaching a fever pitch, Harvey suddenly turned arou

Both Vaida and Mandy turned around to look at Harvey.Harvey simply smiled. "Based on what I know about the Priesthood—and if I am correct—they wouldn't reveal the Oracle Text publicly. If that's the case, they won't move against me for the near future. Instead, they'll do everything they can to protect me. Because if anything happens to me, outsiders will believe that my deduction is correct."His smile grew. "Maybe we can stage an assassination attempt and make the Priesthood deal with the fallout?"Vaida froze for a moment before shaking her hand. "No, Harvey. Don't even think about it! The Priesthood has been with Grand City for many years, and they are very dangerous. If you enrage them, few can face the consequences. At the very least, now is not the time to declare war with them."Vaida wasn't worried about herself. She feared Harvey's foundation in Grand City was too shallow. If he were to fight with the Priesthood at this time, no one could tell what would happen nex

When Juliana saw her former simp oppose her openly at this stage, she quickly stepped forward and slapped Alexei across his face."Shut up! Since when did you have the right to speak here? Get out of my sight and kneel!" Juliana said in anger. In her view, rubbish like Alexei had no right to speak to her in that manner.The slap echoed loudly, and Alexei almost fell onto the ground as he staggered back a step. He clenched his fists in rage. He wanted to retaliate, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and suppressed the urge.Juliana was the woman he loved once. Even when he was over her, he believed that he shouldn't strike a woman.Juliana sneered when she saw how Alexei was acting. She spat on the ground, snarling, "Coward!"Harvey's eyes grew colder when he saw how Juliana was crossing the line.Clarion also stepped in front of Harvey and said coldly, "Juliana, don't make up stories. If you want to accuse Mr. Harvey of a crime, then you must have sufficient proof. You have n
