“Why is he so quiet? He hasn’t even tried bidding for anything,” one man laughed mockingly.“I already told you he came here for nothing,” another sneered. “He’s only here to embarrass himself.”Someone else burst into laughter before joking loudly, “Maybe the amount he wanted to bid was just ten dollars, but the MC never mentioned it!”The surrounding crowd laughed hard at the joke.Meanwhile, Dylan remained completely calm.He ignored every mocking word while quietly staring toward the stage.At that moment, nobody else seemed willing to compete against Mr Luke’s nine hundred million dollar bid anymore.The price had already become too terrifying for most people.It was obvious to everyone that the Golden Box was about to go to Mr Luke.The MC slowly looked around the hall before speaking.“Nine hundred million dollars going once—”But before he could continue further, Dylan calmly raised his bidding card.“One billion dollars.”The moment those words left his mouth, the entire hall

“It makes sense. There’s no way he can actually afford that amount, so he’s obviously lying,” one person said.“Exactly. He doesn’t look like someone who can afford that kind of money.”“True,” several others agreed immediately.Mr. Luke smiled proudly before speaking. “See? No one believes you have that amount of money. You’re just lying to save face so you can take the box and run away. I know poor people like you.”Dylan glared at him coldly. “So? What exactly do you want?”“Proof,” Mr. Luke said without hesitation. “If you claim you can afford it, then show us proof of the money.”The crowd instantly agreed with him. Voices rose from every direction as they insisted Dylan prove himself.“Yeah, show us!”“If you really have it, then proving it shouldn’t be difficult.”Mr. Luke folded his arms confidently and smirked. “I already know you can’t do it because you don’t have that kind of money. So stop pretending, speak the truth, and return the golden box right now.”He stared down at

As the police continued demanding their presence, Dylan and Zane finally stepped out of the car.Dylan’s expression remained calm as he looked at the officers surrounding them.“Officer,” Dylan said politely, “what exactly is all this commotion about? Can I know what’s happening? Why are you stopping us?”The policeman standing at the front looked Dylan up and down with clear suspicion in his eyes before speaking coldly.“We received an exclusive report about you,” he said. “And now we’d like to search both you and your car.”Dylan slowly raised an eyebrow.“Search me?” he repeated calmly. “What exactly happened? What kind of report did you receive? Why would you suddenly want to search me? I think I deserve to know that much.”The head officer immediately looked irritated.“That’s none of your business,” he snapped. “All you need to do is cooperate so we can carry out the search.”Another officer standing nearby scoffed loudly.“People like him are always the problem,” he muttered wi

Mr. Luke burst into laughter.“These pathetic lowlifes really think they matter?” he mocked loudly. “You’re even questioning a police officer about his job? You kidnapper! Disgusting kidnapper! Your crimes have already been exposed, so stop trying to hide them!”The people surrounding them immediately began whispering among themselves again.“Truly pathetic. I can’t believe he’s actually this kind of person.”“I’m really disappointed.”“He looked so respectable earlier too...”While the crowd continued talking behind Dylan’s back, one of the police officers suddenly stepped forward and looked directly at him.“So you’re questioning us because you think you’re innocent?” the officer asked coldly. “Fine then. Let’s make a deal.”Dylan calmly looked at him without speaking.The officer continued arrogantly.“If we search your car and find something inside, then I’ll personally beat you mercilessly and humiliate you in front of everyone before throwing you into jail where you belong.”His

The head officer glared at Dylan in confusion.None of them understood what Dylan was doing or why he suddenly decided to make a phone call at a moment like this.But Dylan calmly placed the call anyway. The line connected quickly.He greeted the person on the other side politely before calmly explaining everything that had happened. He spoke about the district head officer, the illegal search, the public humiliation, and the abuse of authority.After explaining everything clearly, Dylan gave the address and requested the person to come personally.Once he was done speaking, he calmly ended the call and looked back up at the head officer with a faint smile.The head officer was instantly irritated.“You bastard!” he shouted angrily. “What kind of stupid prank are you trying to pull now?”His face twisted with rage as he pointed at Dylan.“Do you think you can joke around with me however you like?!”The more he spoke, the angrier he became.Without hesitation, the officer suddenly stor
