Chapter 2361
Enzo's anger was replaced with a deep sense of fear. He hissed, "Andrew, you actually hit me on our family's territory? I'm telling you, this can be a small deal or a huge one. Hitting me might be nothing, but humiliating the Reyes family's reputation? That's a massive problem." Looking down at the cowardly fool at his feet, Andrew laughed. He slowly pulled his leg back and said dismissively, "The Reyes family's reputation is indeed a big deal, but I came here today without giving a damn about any of that. I'm just here to do business, yet the Reyes Grand Auction House not only made things difficult for a customer but also threatened me." He mocked, "Oh my, I'm so scared! And when I get scared, I tend to do impulsive things… like killing people!" Enzo gritted his teeth in hatred. He knew Andrew was mocking him, but there was nothing he could do, as he no longer dared to act arrogantly. He was afraid Andrew might actually lose control and cripple him on the spot. Suddenly, a sul

Joaquin turned toward Andrew. He cleared his throat and said respectfully, "Mr. Lloyd, allow me to introduce her properly. This is Ms. Valerie Reyes from our main family. She's also a major general in the military. She's only here today to enjoy the auction, so I hope you'll give her some courtesy." Valerie's face remained calm as she stared at Andrew. She was sure that this time, he would show some respect. But to her surprise, his expression did not change at all. He replied, "Sorry, like I said, I don't know her and haven't heard of her. Reyes Grand Auction House can either arrange the auction for me and follow proper procedures, or we can forget the whole thing. I'll just consider this a wasted trip. "Though calling it wasted is a bit of an overstatement. These three pills of mine are pretty easy to sell elsewhere. Worst case scenario, I'll just take them straight to the Sovereign's Apothecary and hand them over to the professionals there." As soon as those words left hi

Joaquin's expression darkened. "I thought you were asking for yourself… Turns out, you were asking on behalf of someone in your family. Still, that's not something we can decide. We're just staff here. "But I can tell you that Ms. Reyes is like a goddess among mortals. Ordinary men could never be worthy of her. She's at the prime of her career, unmarried for now." Andrew let out a short hum and smiled. "Alright then, I'll take my seat first. Tell Ms. Reyes that if she's interested, she's welcome to come talk to me. I really do want to find someone good for my family." Joaquin's lips twitched, and he forced a stiff smile while silently thinking that hardly anyone could ever hope to match Valerie. Andrew followed the attendant into the massive underground auction hall. With his platinum-gold card, he was guided by an elegant young attendant to a top-tier private suite with the best view. It read 'Suite No. 3', which meant he ranked as the third most important guest present tha

Joaquin spoke awkwardly. "Mr. Lloyd asked that question himself, Miss. And honestly, he didn't look like he was joking." Valerie pressed her rosy lips together, muttering in a low, annoyed tone. "That shameless bastard. Everyone keeps saying he's all-powerful and never touches women, but apparently, that's all nonsense. I actually have to admire his nerve… He even dares to make a move on me?" Joaquin did not dare to say another word. When he saw Valerie stop responding, he quietly backed out of the room. Valerie turned toward the direction of Suite No. 3 and sneered. "You may have the arrogance to back it up, but sorry, I won't let that slide so easily. If you want to get your hands on me, you'll have to pay a really heavy price!" … Before long, the entire auction hall was filled. When the lights dimmed, a single spotlight lit up the stage at the center. The auction had officially begun. A stunning figure in high heels walked to the center. The spotlight's soft, bright g

The bidding below remained lukewarm throughout. The earlier auction items were all quality pieces, but none of the prices really stood out. Yet for the kind of crowd gathered in Chetvine tonight, money was never the issue. Most of the guests here were powerhouses in their own right, so the auction atmosphere felt oddly dull and lifeless. This put pressure on Elsie on the center stage. Her job was to maximize profits for the auction house as much as possible. To put it bluntly, taking an item worth 100 dollars and hyping it up to 10,000 dollars was what she was supposed to do. However, the atmosphere in Chetvine was completely different from small places like Jayrodale. These people were not just rich; they had sharp eyes, too. If you wanted to treat them like fools and empty their wallets, it was impossible without genuine goods to back it up. Meanwhile, Andrew, watching from Suite No. 3, noticed Elsie's predicament. The item currently up for bidding was a martial arts manua

Benny chuckled, his face dark with disdain. "Coward!" From the stage, Elsie frowned slightly and glanced toward Suite No. 3, where Andrew sat. However, the glass was one-way, and she could not see anything. She could only announce, "Congratulations to Mr. Murphy for winning the Shadow-Flame Art." Then, she moved on to the next item up for auction. When the bidding reached 30 million, it looked like the gavel was about to fall. That was when Andrew suddenly chimed in from his suite, "35 million. I'm determined to have this chainmail armor. If you don't have the money to back it up, you should keep your mouth shut. Don't you all agree, folks?" The entire room suddenly felt a collective pain. Everyone was visibly irritated by his arrogance. "For crying out loud, this bastard in Suite No. 3 thinks this is funny?" someone muttered. "What a jerk! He bids and then runs his mouth like he owns the place. Is this kid out of his mind?" another voice grumbled. "Mr. Murphy, take hi

The room buzzed with curses, but Andrew tuned them all out. Elsie, however, grew increasingly anxious. She was almost certain now that the guest in Suite No. 3 wanted her for himself. In Chetvine, she was just a lowly auctioneer, and this city was crawling with powerful men. If one of them set his sights on her, escaping his grasp would be nearly impossible. She took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay calm. No matter what happened, she would not give in. If she only had to smile or say something flattering, she could swallow her pride for the sake of her career. However, if it meant offering herself or being dragged to a hotel, she would never agree. Finally, the three premium pills that Andrew had submitted began to be brought out. The first two to come up were a pair of eighth-grade Divine Pills. The two Divine Pills were being auctioned off as a bundle. The starting price alone made Andrew raise an eyebrow. "Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look," Elsie announced wi

"230 million, going once. Is there anyone else willing to bid?" Elsie braced herself and pressed forward with the question despite her nervousness. Sergio let out a cold snort from Suite No. 4. "Miss, there's nothing more to ask here. You must be new to the Reyes Grand Auction House, aren't you? Well, let me make something clear for you. Once I've stated what I want, remember this: no one else will ever dare to bid against me again." Elsie's face went slightly pale as she bowed respectfully. "Welcome, Mr. Harding Senior. It's an honor to have you here." His tone was not loud or arrogant, yet the quiet confidence in his voice carried undeniable weight and authority. Elsie's face went pale as she bowed politely. "Yes, Mr. Harding Senior. It's an honor to have you here." Back in Suite No. 2, Valerie's expression shifted for the first time, showing clear displeasure. She gritted her teeth and could not help but call out sarcastically, "Fine, let's just move on to the next ite

Even Valerie could not figure out what Andrew was up to at this point, muttering, "What the hell is this bastard trying to do?" Sergio's voice turned ice cold. "Not bad. Fine then, let me see just how deep your pockets go… 500 million dollars! Do you still have the guts to bid against me?" Inside Suite No. 3, Andrew just laughed. He cleared his throat and replied, "I'm afraid my wallet has reached its limit. Congratulations, Mr. Harding Senior. I don't dare bid any further." Sergio's bidding price was actually very reasonable for two eighth-grade Divine Pills, and Andrew knew when to quit while he was ahead. He understood that Sergio was not someone easily fooled. If he kept pushing the bidding higher, there was a real risk that Sergio would simply drop out, which would completely backfire on his plan. From the beginning, Andrew's only goal had never been to antagonize anyone. He simply wanted to ensure his pills sold for as high a price as possible so he could walk away with m

Benny let out a cold laugh. "Well, since you admitted defeat, I'll spare your life this time. You messed with me earlier, so now I'm returning the favor. 400 million for such a useless manual? Let's see if you can go home without getting chewed out for it." Andrew did not even bother acknowledging this idiot's taunts. Elsie's voice rang out from the auction block below. "Congratulations to our guest in Suite No. 3 on winning this Earthly-tier cultivation manual." Shortly after, a female attendant brought the manual over to Andrew's suite. He opened the beautifully packaged box and carefully unrolled the ancient parchment containing the cultivation technique, studying it intently. Gradually, a satisfied smile spread across his face. "Now this is something special!" The manual was fascinating. It had miraculous effects for those with fire-type energy. However, if someone without that affinity tried to train with it, it would backfire badly. For instance, anyone with water-typ
