Chapter 1640 – Second Item
*****“He actually still dares to bid?”“Doesn't he realize what kind of trouble he's in?”“What a complete waste of money. He'll probably die before the night is over, and he's still spending hundreds of thousands on accessories.”The woman who had nearly won the hairpin looked at Xavier with undisguised annoyance, clearly unable to understand why someone who had already been marked for death would care about an auction item.Xavier, however, didn't even glance at her.His expression remained perfectly calm as he looked toward the Moonflower Jade Hairpin in the auctioneer's hand.He wasn't buying it for himself.He was already imagining it in Grace's hair.From his previous interactions with Grace, he had often noticed her constantly brushing loose strands away from her face and tucking them behind her ear.Her hair was naturally silky and soft, which made it beautiful, but that same softness meant it easily slipped loose no matter how carefully she arranged it.Whenever she became o
Chapter 1639 – Bidding
*****Resting delicately between the auctioneer's fingers was a slender white-jade hairpin, exquisitely carved into the shape of a blooming flower.The jade was so smooth and luminous that it seemed to possess a soft radiance of its own beneath the brilliant lights of the auction hall.Several women instinctively touched their own hair.Others exchanged excited whispers.For an instant, the earlier tension surrounding the auctioneer was forgotten.“The first item tonight is a women's accessory, the Moonflower Jade Hairpin.”The auctioneer's soothing voice once again filled the cruise ship.She held the hairpin slightly higher so everyone could see its delicate craftsmanship.“It is said to possess the ability to constantly keep the wearer's hair perfectly arranged. It can also slightly purify the spiritual energy in its surroundings and help maintain mental clarity during meditation.”Her final words caused another wave of interest to spread through the Lower Realm.The hairpin might
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
