Once Elijah noticed Jeffery's presence, he paused briefly before ultimately acknowledging his presence. Although he didn't ask Jeffery to come over, seeing him at the location was not an issue at all. And so, he shifted his attention to Club Rose in front of him. There was a wide range of facilities offered in the club, including almost all entertainment services and amenities such as a swimming pool and a golf course. It was also extremely large and spacious, just like a manor. At this moment, cars were driving past the busy road in front of the club and Elijah noticed after some scrutiny that the majority of the vehicles parked in front of the club today were luxury cars of different makes. There were almost no low-end cars in sight. Elijah's eyes narrowed and a strange feeling arose in his heart. Even if most of the customers were wealthy, most of the clientele should mainly be of the upper middle class since it was an entertainment joint. There shouldn't be a flee

After Elijah's question, one of the security guards that had accompanied him looked around and ensured that there was no one else near them before finally speaking up. “Actually the auction is just a pretext. They are not putting up items for sale tonight. Instead, they are putting up people for auction, and beautiful women at that!”Elijah's pupils constricted instantly as he thought to himself. ‘Putting up beautiful women for sale?... Aren't they selling humans like objects then?’They were actually committing such an illegal and immoral act in public, almost like they had no regard for the law at all!Elijah immediately thought of Denise who had been abducted and brought to Club Rose.He reckoned that the reason they had done this wasn't simple and it was very likely that she might be one of the beauties that would be put up for sale tonight.The moment he thought of this possibility, Elijah was enraged as a desire to kill emerged in his heart. “How dare this bastard Jamie do such

Upon hearing what Celeste had to say, Mikey sneered and said confidently. “Sure, you can bring anyone you want, but that comes with a restriction. To avoid making the auction seem low class and prevent nobodies from entering, the organizers deliberately specified that the invited guests could only bring members of their own family or a nonfamily individual whose personal address exceeds fifteen million dollars!... So tell me, does your guest meet the criteria?... If he doesn't, even though you are the daughter of the richest man in Crystal Falls, you are not allowed to bring him in!”After hearing what Mikey said, many seemed to come to a sudden realization and began to look at Elijah gloatingly with greater contempt while Celeste bit her lower lip tightly with a sullen expression.Mikey wasn't making things up based on the reactions of the others in attendance which meant that there was indeed such a restriction. She couldn't be certain that Elijah wished to reveal his assets so she

If the members of the top families in Crystal Falls and its neighboring cities didn't qualify to have a Black gold card, then what right did Elijah, an individual they hadn't even heard about in their lives, have to own such a card?Without further ado, Stiles solemnly handed the Black gold card to a staff member behind him and ordered in a deep voice. “Bring this card for inspection and make sure not to make any mistakes else. Don't blame me for punishing you!”“Yes sir!” After receiving the order, the staff member received the card with both hands and hurriedly left the auction hall under the escort of several bodyguards armed with guns.During the short duration, the staff had gone to check the card, and everyone in the room had their eyes glued to Elijah.There were all sorts of gazes being cast on him, which would usually make any other person feel uneasy and jittery by now but Elijah remained composed in his seat and looked extremely relaxed, as if he wasn't the center of attrac

Raphael was furious and disgruntled as he realized that Stiles had decided to side with Elijah despite his attempts to make him support him instead.Unable to hold back his anger, he pointed at Elijah while addressing Stiles, “Mister Morales, why? Shouldn’t he be the one getting kicked out?”But Stiles’s expression remained unchanged, and he merely glanced at the staff member behind him. “From now on, all members of the Tillman family will be blacklisted and banned from all auctions that I am in charge of!”“…!”Raphael was so furious that he froze right on the spot.He wanted to say something but couldn’t bring himself to. At that moment, he understood that if he said anything else, he would end up provoking Stiles more, which would lead to an even worse punishment than what he'd been given.All the auctions Stiles was in charge of basically included all the important large and medium-sized ones organized by powerful families.The point of such auctions was not to really buy somethi
