Chapter 111
Inside the enclosed tent, dimly lit by faint lamps, five more bodyguards stood waiting for them, weapons in hand.But that wasn’t what shocked the two of them.What stunned them was the fact that the men were wearing nothing at all—except for tiger masks identical to those worn by the guards outside.“Take off your clothes,” one of them ordered.What?Isla flinched.“Why should we do that? For what reason?”She protested, clearly resisting.It already felt strange enough to be carrying an empty box and wearing an animal mask.Now the man in front of her was ordering her to undress?None of it made any sense.“Then leave. Now.”The man raised his weapon, pointing the muzzle straight at Isla’s forehead.“You have five seconds to decide.”Isla clenched her jaw tightly, suppressing her emotions.In her entire life, she had never stood naked before strangers.She didn’t want her first time to happen like this—especially not in front of them.“Isla.”Martin placed a hand on her shoulder, lo

“Turn around.”One of the bodyguards said it to Isla, his gaze sweeping over her from head to toe.Naturally, it made her feel even more uncomfortable.Wearing nothing but her underwear already made her uneasy—let alone being forced to show her body in front of strangers.Especially when the man giving the order wasn’t wearing anything at all himself, not even underwear.“Leave her alone,” Martin said. “She’s not carrying anything.”“Hey, man, am I talking to you?” the bodyguard snapped.“Whoever she is,” he pointed at Isla, “she does what I say. Got it?”“Fine. I’ll do it.”Not wanting to drag things out, Isla did as he ordered.She slowly turned her body once.At the same time, neither of the two bodyguards took their eyes off her.Their gazes were so intense it was as if their eyeballs were about to pop out.“I’ve done it. Now let us pass.”“Woah! You’ve got a really sexy body! Do it again.”What?Isla shot them a sharp glare.That was blatant harassment.“What? You don’t want to?”

“Haven’t you ever tried swinging before? It’s not that bad. Come on—let your boyfriend find another girl.”The man reached out to grab Isla’s hand, but Martin slapped it away.“Don’t push it.”“Huh! So you wanna play hero?”The man looked offended.In a place like this, where everyone hid behind masks to protect their identities, people believed they could do anything to anyone.Martin’s attitude irritated him deeply.“Fine! Take this!”He swung the bottle in his hand toward Martin’s head.Swing!Martin casually dodged.While the bottle was still midair, he caught it and smashed it straight back into the man’s head.Crack!“Aaargh!”The man clutched his head, his hand coming away sticky and warm.“Y-you… you…”Before he could finish his sentence, his body collapsed to the floor, unconscious.Even so, no one seemed to care.The crowd remained completely immersed in the wild party.Martin began scanning the room.Glancing at his watch, there was only one minute left before the auction w

“Martin… do you still think this will end well?”Isla whispered with a trembling voice as her hand reached back into the white box to retrieve the dress she had stored inside.Martin—and everyone else in the room—did the same.Even so, they were not allowed to remove the masks from their faces.“I don’t,” Martin replied quietly. “This is too cruel.”Watching how easily they had shot someone dead without warning had already crossed every possible line.“But at least now we know who we’re dealing with,” Martin said as he turned slightly to the side.At the same time, a thought echoed in his mind.Mr. Dragon? Who is he?That question was answered almost immediately.The massive screen above the podium suddenly lit up.It displayed what looked like a meeting room, lined with many chairs—but only one of them was occupied.A man wearing a dragon mask sat calmly at the far end of the table.Judging by his silhouette, he had to be no younger than his seventies.“Everyone, welcome—and thank y

“Ten million!”Turning her head forward, Isla shouted loudly, instantly drawing everyone’s attention to her.At first, they had planned to play it slow.Isla’s bid felt like a heavy pressure crashing down on everyone at once.“Wow! This is getting interesting.”Behind his mask, the tiger-masked man grinned broadly.“A lady over there has just placed a bid of ten million. I’m sure there are more offers, right? Place them now—before it’s too late.”At a glance, it was indeed a massive bid, considering that the highest offer until then had only reached two million.But those who came here were not ordinary people.To them, money meant almost nothing.Of course, they had no intention of missing the chance to obtain the serum.“Twenty-five million!”An elderly man wearing a buffalo mask shouted just as loudly.“Give me the serum now! No one will be able to take it from me! Hahaha! It’s mine for sure!”“Huh. You think you can get it for such a cheap price? Dream on!”Another man beside him,

“I’ll pay five hundred million for the serum.”What?The voice seemed to hang in the air as everyone stared at the source of the voice, shock written all over their faces.A man wearing a donkey mask.“I didn’t hear that wrong, did I?” they muttered. “This is insane!”For a moment, the silence erupted into murmurs once more.Wasn’t that excessive?With that kind of money, he could buy an entire company.Absolutely insane!At the same time, Isla—who had been watching Martin the whole time—stared at him wide-eyed.Her smile slowly faded, replaced by disbelief.“N-no. Martin, you…”Instinctively, she shook her head.This man was just a doctor at the city hospital, whose salary might not even be higher than that of a maid in her house.So how could he possibly pay that amount?Forget paying it—this might be the first time he’d ever even heard such a number.“You’re joking… right?”Yet her heart began to race when she realized that behind the donkey mask, his expression looked calm.Far to

“Isla, what are you talking about? Of course that’s not true.”Martin hadn’t come to the mansion for the serum.He was there to track the drug dealers.But no matter the reason, he couldn’t tell her the truth.“That doesn’t answer anything,” Isla said coldly. “Martin, do you really think I’m a stupid girl?”“Isla, please believe me. That serum is nothing like what you imagine. It’s extremely dangerous.”“Whatever it is, that’s none of your business,” Isla replied. “We’ll find out later—after the serum becomes mine.”While the two of them remained locked in tension, the tiger-masked man on the podium shook his head.His eyes nearly popped out from how hard he was staring.“My God! This is unbelievable! One billion? Did I really hear one billion?”It was the largest number he had ever heard.Far beyond the highest bid in the history of the auction.Not just him—everyone in the room was now staring at Isla, shaking their heads as they held their breath.“This is insane! That girl can pay

Meanwhile, at one of the hotels in Palm Coast Resort—“What did you just say? Do you think three years is a short time? How much longer are you planning to delay your divorce?”Catherine could no longer hold back her shouting when Quinn said that this might not be the right time to discuss divorcing Martin.“Mother, Martin isn’t like what you imagine. He’s a responsible man. We just need to give him a little trust.”Over the past few days, Martin had seemed like a completely different person.Quinn didn’t know what had actually happened to her husband, but for some reason, it only made her trust him more.“Oh, I know why you’re avoiding this,” Catherine sneered. “Don’t tell me you’ve changed your mind about divorcing him. Say it—if you dare.”She shot a razor-sharp glare at her daughter.“Remember this. Your marriage was a mistake, and divorcing him is the only way to fix it.”“Mother, please try to understand. Is it really that hard to give Martin just one chance? Divorce isn’t the o

Back in Carven.The auction was over. Everyone had already left.“Martin, I’m sorry.”Isla’s voice was soft.She looked slightly uncomfortable as she said it.She had already agreed that no matter what happened, she would obey Martin’s words.Yet she had broken her own promise.“But there’s something I want to show you.”She didn’t want to just apologize. She wanted to prove that she was sincere.Isla opened her bag and took out a small piece of paper.“Thomas gave me this number before he left. He said that if anything happened to him, I would know where to go.”She extended her hand toward Martin.Taking the number, Martin examined it carefully.“A normal number?” he thought.It was no different from an ordinary phone number.People in government circles, including military officers, usually used more distinctive numbers.Numbers that clearly signaled special status.This one showed nothing special at all.But Martin’s instincts immediately caught something.“Oh… I see.”It was a di

“Why do you—”Martin’s gaze was filled with anger as it locked onto Gianna.But at that very moment, he suddenly realized something.“No. Gianna wouldn’t plan something malicious against me,” he thought.Martin had dealt with all kinds of people.And the most dangerous ones were those who hid their malicious intentions behind kind faces.Gianna wasn’t one of them.Looking at the girl’s expression, Martin felt no doubt—she was sincere.“That’s right. If she truly had ill intentions, she would’ve acted when I was off guard.”At the same time, being stared at like that caused Gianna to freeze.Panic, shock, and a feeling as if she had been stripped bare—All those emotions collided inside her chest.“M-Mister Garvey, what is it? Did something happen?”She forced herself to calm down as she spoke, trying to steady her emotions.But then she remembered something.“Oh no!” she thought. “Wasn’t I supposed to do exactly what Valentina told me?”One hour earlier.“Gianna, is Martin with you?”
