Chapter 1638 – The First Item
*****A moment of intense silence descended over the entire auction hall the instant the auctioneer’s final words faded into the air.No one reacted.Neither the people in the Lower Realm nor those seated in the private rooms of the Upper Realm took their eyes off the woman on the stage.For several seconds, the entire venue seemed to have forgotten how to breathe, with hundreds of gazes fixed on her in stunned silence.She was undoubtedly graceful, composed, and cold, possessing an elegance that made her seem almost detached from everyone around her.Yet beneath that refined demeanor was an arrogance so intense that it was impossible to overlook.She stood there as though she were not addressing some of the most influential and powerful people in the city but merely a gathering of ordinary guests whose presence barely registered in her eyes.That alone was enough to make several people uncomfortable.What truly shocked everyone, however, was the aura surrounding her.She was only a C
Chapter 1637 – The Auction Begins
*****Once Xavier finished reassuring Sage Myron and Mistress Ayra, he sank deeper into his seat and shut his eyes, shutting himself off from the countless murmurs and curious gazes surrounding him.The commotion in the lower realm continued, but none of it seemed worthy of his attention. As far as Xavier was concerned, there was no reason to waste his energy reacting to people who had already decided what they thought of him.He could still feel Matthew's murderous gaze coming from one of the rooms in the upper realm, along with the faint pressure of the hatred radiating from him, but Xavier simply ignored it.He didn't even bother looking up.His complete indifference quickly stupefied many of the attendees.“He actually dares to sleep?”“Does he have some kind of powerful backing?”“Pft. Unless whatever he is relying on is an A-rank fighter, it means nothing.”“Exactly. What could possibly protect him from Young Master Matthew?”“I don't care what anyone says. That guy is genuinely
Chapter 1636 – Matthew’s Rage II
*****Matthew’s chest rose and fell heavily.“Not only did they actually enter the auction, they even dared to flirt right in front of me!”He wiped the sweat pouring down his forehead, but another layer immediately appeared.The air-conditioning inside the room was running at full strength, yet it did almost nothing to cool the furnace of rage burning inside him.Matthew suddenly pointed toward the two guards standing behind him.“You must not take your eyes off those three bastards!” he snapped.The two B-rank fighters immediately straightened.“Once this auction ends, you will slaughter those two bastards and capture that bitch for me!” Matthew continued, his voice dripping with hatred. “She will regret every word she said today. I will make certain of it.”The two bodyguards exchanged a cautious glance.Neither of them dared contradict Matthew directly, but they were not nearly as blinded by rage as their young master.One of them hesitated before speaking carefully.“Young Master
Chapter 1635 – Matthew’s Rage
*****Mistress Ayra was usually mischievous whenever she was around him. She could joke with him, tease him without mercy, and carry herself with the confidence of someone who feared very little.But now she looked genuinely troubled.Xavier watched her for a moment before casually lifting his hand and flicking her forehead.“Do you really see me as someone who would let his own people get bullied without fighting back?”Mistress Ayra's eyes widened slightly.She looked at him.Xavier's expression remained calm, but there was a faint smile at the corner of his lips.“I would have been more disappointed in you if you hadn't given that fool what he deserved,” he added.Xavier remembered Matthew’s expression after Ayra chose the goat over him.The memory was too amusing to resist.A chuckle escaped his lips.“I've never seen someone lose his composure that quickly before.”Unfortunately, Xavier's voice was a little louder than he realized.Several people sitting nearby heard him.They tur
Chapter 1634 – Sage Myron and Mistress Ayra’s Guilt
*****Under the judgmental gazes and hushed voices surrounding them, Xavier continued toward their seats with a small, casual smile.He could clearly hear the whispers following him, and he was equally aware of the people pointing at him. Yet none of it seemed to bother him in the slightest.Mistress Ayra and Sage Myron, on the other hand, were having a much harder time pretending everything was fine.Sage Myron looked particularly tense. His shoulders remained stiff, and the guilt weighing on him was so obvious that even his usual composure had disappeared.‘This was all my fault!’ he cried inwardly as he followed Xavier. ‘If I had known about the VIP invitations earlier, none of this would have happened.’‘Why did I have to bring ordinary invitations? And why did I have to bring them to the VIP entrance of all places?’The more he thought about it, the worse he felt.He had intended to accompany Xavier to the auction and make sure everything went smoothly.Instead, his mistake had l
Chapter 1633 – The Two Sections
*****The auction was being held inside an enormous, luxurious hall within the cruise ship, a place so lavish that even though most of the guests were wealthy, they could not help but feel the difference between it and the outside world.The hall was divided into two distinct sections.The lower realm and the upper realm.The lower realm was nothing more than an extravagant name for the ordinary guests. It occupied most of the main hall, with countless seats arranged in neat rows facing an elevated platform at the front, making the entire place resemble the audience section of a grand event.The upper realm, however, was an entirely different world.It was another luxurious title, but this one was reserved exclusively for VIP guests.Situated above the main hall, it was constructed to provide a perfect view of everything taking place below. From up there, the auction stage and the entire lower realm were practically laid bare.Yet the difference did not stop at the height.While the o
