Chapter 381
Time passed, and Benjamin spent it running various preparations with April's older brother, Uriel Scott. They were preparing to establish their own Lapidary.During their last meeting, Benjamin is in his public office with Uriel, Anthony, and Lieutenant Jason, putting some final touches on their plans.The office was dark and a holographic screen was spread out above the table. The first time Uriel saw this, he was stunned that Benjamin could even afford such a thing. After all, he and the rest of the Scott family, apart from April, were still in the dark about April's true identity. But after the three meetings that followed, Uriel eventually got used to using this holographic screen. He also met WOC-0054, otherwise known as Andy. Uriel glanced across the holographic screen, pointing at a tower.“Levi’s Screen Town Tower. This is where most of the auctions in the city take place. In a week, there will be a gemstone auction being hosted by the Grand Board of Antiquarian and Archaeol
Chapter 382
The day of the grand Stone auction was here. Uriel was the first to head out to Levi's Screen Town Tower. Benjamin and the other men of his household would be joining him later.Still, Benjamin provided Uriel with fifteen male soldiers disguised as ordinary bodyguards. While he wasn't there, people from the Den family might decide to take action against Uriel due to assuming that he's alone.At Levi's Screen Town Tower,The entrance to the luxurious building was decorated, and there were ushers and parking attendants lined up to help guests arriving.For the Grand auction taking place today, this building paid great attention to it, as it was highly regarded by powerful families from all over the United States. Therefore, every other hall within the building is closed, leaving only the grand hall on the highest floor open for the grand Stone auction.The men and women at this event all have either relations or affiliations with families within the 1% wealthy families in America.What

“Damn! Who is that?! I don't think I've ever seen him here before!”“Me neither. He looks so….good.”“Judging by the convoy he came in, he must be from a very powerful family.”“Which lapidary is he representing? Is he a lower guest or a highly regarded one?”People began whispering among themselves passionately as they watched Uriel, surrounded by the fifteen masked soldiers who came with him, begin to approach the entrance.The closer Uriel got to the entrance of the building, the clearer his outfit was, and the easier it was for the onlookers to make out what he was wearing.“There’s no way this handsome hotshot is not from one of the most powerful families in the United States! Look at that suit! It's from a highly exclusive luxurious collection! It has recently been confirmed to be one of the most expensive suits in the latest collection from Stuart Hughes - Customized diamond edition!”“Oh my God! I've heard about it! Isn't that suit worth more than $30 million?!”Those in the

Henry shook his head. This is practically impossible. The only other family above the Tyrone family is the Whiteridge family. But that family was far above the Tyrone family. Worth trillions of dollars, they're deeply hidden away from the rest of the world, and they don't get involved in mundane matters like this. Thus, Henry threw that conclusion out of his mind.Henry could not help but glance at his fiancée, Juliana Rivera, and he did not like what he saw.His heart burned with jealousy as he saw that she was in a daze. Juliana was definitely awestruck by Uriel's look, understandably so, as the other spectators were also blown away by his overall aesthetic.Though Juliana's reaction was understandable, it still made Henry angry.“Are you done staring at him?”Juliana gasped as her fiancé's cold words jolted her from her daze. She turned to find the angry expression on his face.“Huh? What? That's not what…..”She could barely even convince herself that she wasn't feeling some type

The masked bodyguard who had just been ordered by Uriel, closest to the arrogant security guard, needed his head.“Right away, Sir!”The masked bodyguard immediately punched the security guard across the face before he grabbed him by the shoulder and twisted his arm behind his back.The security guard quickly realized that he had fuck around, was about to be found out. Still, he knew that begging would mean admitting his guilt. This would not end well for him. The only hope he had of escaping this was to keep up his bravado. Thus, the security guard glared at the masked bodyguard behind him with a deep frown.“Hey, what the fuck do you think you're doing? If you don't let me go right now, I swear that both you and your stupid boss would end up behind bars for the rest of your pathetic….”In front of the many spectators, the masked bodyguard didn't give the security guard the time to finish his words. With a sharp twist, he broke the arrogant man's hand right behind his back.That wa

Uriel maintained a calm demeanor while watching as things unfolded around him. He was less surprised by what he was seeing right now and more so at the accurate predictions Benjamin told him - a prediction which came from his little duster, according to Benjamin himself.Apparently, April had dreamt that her older brother would be a victim of bullying before he even took his first step inside Levi's Screen Town Tower, and it would be done in front of so many spectators.Benjamin told him that April had seen more than ten possible parallel scenarios of how everything plays out and then she picked the best case for him.This is what's happening right now: the best-case scenario.In order to facilitate reality, April and Benjamin had worked together to come up with the best reaction to certain situations that came his way.This is exactly why Benjamin had arranged as many as fifteen of his soldiers to protect him at the event and had instructed Uriel to never allow himself to be looked

“Take this fool and his bodyguards down!”The security guard surrounding Uriel and his masked bodyguards all replied in unison.“Yes, Sir!”As the battle ensued, there were two cases of attack that were initiated by the security guards. There are the security guards who hold up their fists or even batons, with the intention of physically assaulting the masked bodyguards first before tasing them. As for the other security guards, they immediately pulled the trigger of their taser, unwilling to waste time fighting these mashed bodyguards.In both astonishment and horror, neither side of the security guards ended up successful with their attacks.For the group of security guards who attempted to fight with their fists first before using their tasers, it was quite embarrassing for them. As soon as they engaged with the masked bodyguards in hand-to-hand combat, they immediately learned that these masked men were martial arts experts. In fact, their proficiency in martial arts was at a v

Henry approached Uriel with a look of disdain.“I have to say, Uriel. For a former beggar such as yourself, you've really elevated in life. I wonder how you did it?”The crowd began another round of whispers once they heard Henry's words.“Wait, the heir to Aurora's Refinery knows this Uriel guy?”“I'm just as shocked as you are. But why did he call Uriel a former beggar?”Uriel knew what Henry was trying to do. The way he had dealt with the outer security guards had left a deep impression on the hearts of these powerful spectators. Therefore, Henry is trying to bring up his humiliating past in an attempt to neutralize this domineering image that he had just built up.The goal: to destroy the mighty image with a humiliating past before it solidifies in the hearts of people.Unfortunately for Henry, Uriel had no intention of remaining a pushover. That past was due to his unfortunate circumstances. With such a disadvantageous disposition out of his life, he has nothing to fear.“And I

Everyone turned to find a robust man with white hair and a beard walking their way. Behind him are around thirty men and women dressed as bodyguards, being led by a woman with a stoic expression on her face.“What is going on here?! Why is there a ruckus inside the tower?! And on such a special day?! Is this how you grace the town Tower with your presence?!”This man spoke with a somewhat rude tone, glaring at every single guest before him with little to no regard in his eyes.This is the manager of Levi's Screen Town Tower, Rowley McKlin.The crowd began whispering to themselves about this man, which allowed Uriel to recognize him by name. As it stands, Benjamin had told him about this manager as well.Trusting every single detail Benjamin has given him thus far, Uriel had no fear of how to deal with this man as well. Uriel adjusted his suit and was about to initiate a handshake when Henry elbowed him a bit as he basically raced past him to speak to the tower manager first.“Manage

Henry knew that he was now being cornered. If he dares to hold on to his lies, he will eventually be found out, and then there will be no turning back for him. By then, he will have no choice but to endure the humiliation of being thrown out of the tower, and possibly banned for life. This won't bode well for Aurora's Refinery's reputation in the future.There was so much on the line right now, so Henry couldn't afford to hold onto his ego.He cleared his throat.“Um, you see, actually….. the altercation between Uriel and the security guard took me and everyone here by surprise. So it is possible that I may have mentioned some wrong details in the report.There's no amount of wording that could cover the fact that Henry is a liar.Still, he had managed to duck away from being thrown out by admitting that he had lied within the account he gave to Manager Rowley McKlin.Rowley scoffed at Henry before turning to Uriel.“Based on everything, it seems my town, Tower, owes you an apology.
