Applause filled the grand ballroom. Lucas stepped onto the stage and accepted the award presented by President Marshall, which consisted of a plaque and a small trophy made of 24-carat gold and diamonds, shaped like the country's coat of arms and bearing Lucas Carter's name.President Marshall extended his hand to Lucas. "Congratulations and thank you for all that you have done for our country."Lucas accepted President Marshall's hand. He came down from the stage, and after receiving the award, many important people approached him and hugged him proudly."Congratulations on your award and you deserve it." One of the country's important guests also greeted Lucas."You are indeed a hero of our country and I heard that you are also a hero in Bouzi." The rest of you also complimented Lucas."No, I'm just doing what I can to help others." Lucas responded humbly to all the praise he received.Other compliments and congratulations followed. He returned to Lora, who was waiting for him with

Wanda looked at Julian, who was packing up his room. She leaned back against the doorway and stared at him coldly."It's so good to be you." He exhaled. "Today you'll also be doing a job."Julian grinned, full of confidence. "I'm a great man, so it's only natural that I work and become Master Lucas's confidant." He boasted proudly in front of Wanda. "You have to admit that."That made Wanda tilt her head, staring intently at Julian while snorting in annoyance. She felt jealous that Julian could get a job in the field while Lucas did not trust her to do the same job. She couldn't wait to fight and move her body again. However, Lucas did not allow him to come together with Julian."You've also got your own assignment, right?" Julian raised one eyebrow, remembering the task Lucas had given Wanda before returning to their country.When Lucas gave Wanda the assignment in the country of Bouzi, Wanda immediately did it quickly, even beyond the estimation that Lucas had predicted before. So s

More participants gathered at the venue to participate in the auction, and the fighters who were going to participate in the auction also stood behind the stage in an orderly manner to fight in the order in which they registered. The system and rules at the auction site required everyone who participated in the auction to send people who could possibly win the fight. The winner of the battle would have the advantage of being able to auction off the first item they wanted. Of course, it would have superior rights compared to others.It could be said to have more exclusive buyer's rights. Even if there were people who offered a higher price than the winner in this match, the money could not be used to buy the item at all because the rights were held by the winner, and the winner was free to buy or sell the item he got from this auction event."Well, everyone has gathered, and the participants in the battle are also here. The battle is about to begin." The host on the stage signalled to

The match started again. His time in the fight was a little different than before. suddenly, two weapons were lowered from the stage, making everyone surprised to see that."Okay, this time, the match will be made even more challenging because we already have a winner, and the winner wants the match once again, so we will make the fight even more interesting to end the night." The host explained the rules and the different fights.Everyone who participated in the auction became increasingly interested and increased their bets, which made the event organizers even happier."There are swords and baseball bats here." The host headed towards the two weapons that had just been lowered onto the stage. Alright, we'll have a vote on who gets the sharp or blunt weapon."Another person brought two numbers written on paper. The paper was folded properly, and no one knew which number Julian and the person he challenged would choose. The paper was shuffled so that no one knew where it was until th

There are many types of people. Some people only focus on the facts, and some people keep searching for something because they are not satisfied. Some people do things differently.In this life, some humans want power. That's why it became something that sometimes didn't make sense, especially focusing on the hidden treasure. they had been doing this for more than 25 years because they believed the Carter family was hiding something. After all, the Carter family had tremendous wealth."We'll go here." The person in the secret society in the center of the small hut gave directions while the others nodded."We will be at points A and B. Make sure the others are at the designated points." The order became the centerpiece of the discussion. Everyone nodded in understanding and immediately carried out the order.They searched and studied the Carter family's data secretly to be able to rival the Carter family, such as wealth and other fields; in the end, they found out if it was related to
