By the time Vidor fell silent, considerable time had slipped by. And yet, neither Frosh nor his brother uttered a single word.They sat there, frozen, digesting his story in stunned silence. The room seemed to throb with tension, thick with disbelief, suspicion, and barely restrained fury.Inside, Vidor laughed. A low, dark, silent laugh.The Frosh brothers, on the other hand, simply gawked at Vidor, their gazes hollow, their minds struggling to process the web of re

Chapter 1647 – The Nine-Petal Lotus Ring
*****The Nine-Petal Lotus Ring was pure white, its ancient jade surface carrying a flawless beauty that seemed almost unreal beneath the auction hall's brilliant lights. The moment it was revealed, the breathing of nearly everyone in the hall caught in their throats.“So… beautiful.”Several people whispered the words without even realizing they had spoken aloud. Their eyes remained fixed on the ring, as though looking away for even a second might somehow make it disappear.The reaction in the Upper Realm was even more pronounced.Every powerful figure who had previously appeared indifferent and aloof to the earlier treasures became completely attentive.Their eyes locked onto the ring with an intensity that made it obvious they understood that this was no ordinary piece of jewelry.Even Matthew, whose attention had been consumed by his hatred for Xavier since the beginning of the auction, found himself momentarily forgetting about his enemy.His eyes widened as he stared at the Nine
Chapter 1646 – The Auction Second Phase
*****Each time, the crowd's hope rose, only to be crushed beneath Xavier's final bid.The more they lost, the more convinced they became that he was deliberately getting revenge on them for siding with Matthew and for mocking him when he first entered the auction.Nobody considered the possibility that Xavier simply didn't care about their feelings.Eventually, every item that could be purchased by the Lower Realm attendees had been brought out.The crowd glared at Xavier with barely concealed hatred. Some looked as though they wanted to burn a hole through his back with their eyes, while others clenched their fists in frustration, silently calculating how much money they had lost because of him.Yet beneath all that resentment, another emotion had begun to grow.Greed.Many of them recalled the treasures Xavier had accumulated and felt their hearts ache.‘If only this fool hadn't offended Young Master Matthew, everything he purchased tonight would have been mine.’The regret was alm
Chapter 1645 – The Lower Realm’s Number One Enemy
*****The auctioneer's tone remained calm, but the coldness beneath it had unmistakably deepened.Beside Xavier, SageMyron and Mistress Ayra instantly tensed.Sage Myron's back stiffened as he glanced anxiously toward Xavier.‘Please tell me you aren't doing this for fun, Sir Patriarch.’His eyes practically screamed the question.Unfortunately, Xavier did not seem to notice his desperate gaze.Or perhaps he noticed it and simply didn't care.Either way, his expression remained as relaxed as ever.Mistress Ayra's brows slowly furrowed.She stared at Xavier with growing confusion.‘Sir Patriarch always prefers to keep a low profile. He practically hates unnecessary attention.’Her gaze lingered on him.‘Then why…?’A strange suspicion surfaced in her mind.She narrowed her eyes.‘Why is he deliberately rage-baiting everyone?’If only Xavier were able to hear unspoken questions, he would have been completely caught off guard.Of all the accusations he could have imagined being thrown a
Chapter 1644 – Accusation
*****“Come on, why don’t you leave this item to me? I’m a woman, after all, and these bracelets are obviously more useful to me than they are to you.”After glaring at the man and silently threatening him for so long, the woman suddenly changed tactics. Her hostile expression disappeared, replaced by a pitiful look that made her seem on the verge of bursting into tears.Several people were caught completely off guard.The man was no exception.He stared at her blankly for several seconds, his expression practically asking whether someone had secretly replaced the woman he had been fighting against with another person.“You…” He narrowed his eyes suspiciously before a smirk slowly appeared on his face. “Weren’t you trying to force me to back down just now?”The woman lowered her gaze and gave him an even more miserable look.“I…” She hesitated, clasping her hands together. “I really need them. My monthly cramps are always so severe that sometimes I genuinely feel like I’m not going to
Chapter 1643 – The Third Item
*****Back in the Lower Realm, the auctioneer stared at Xavier for a moment.Her eyes remained impossible to read behind the veil, but there was a faint sense that she was assessing him rather than merely acknowledging another successful bidder.After a brief pause, she turned her attention toward the rest of the hall.“$800,000 going once.”Nobody raised a card.“Going twice.”Still nothing.The woman who had previously fought desperately for the earrings lowered her gaze in defeat.Her expression was so bitter that one might have thought Xavier had personally robbed her rather than simply outbid her.The auctioneer finally lifted the bell.“Sold.”The clear chime rang through the hall.Xavier had once again won the bid.He remained completely composed, as though spending $800,000 on his wife's earrings was the most ordinary decision in the world.Almost immediately, the auctioneer waved her hand.Another attendant promptly stepped onto the stage carrying the next item.Once again, i
Chapter 1642 – The Lower Realms’ Rage
*****For a moment, nearly everyone in the Lower Realm seemed to lose the ability to react.They had watched Xavier win the first item.Then he had casually taken the second.And now, with the Seven-Star Phoenix Earrings, he had gone from $350,000 to an astonishing $800,000 in a single bid, effectively doubling the previous price without even blinking.The entire Lower Realm fell into an awkward silence.The earrings were undeniably valuable. For lower-ranked cultivators, their ability to detect hostile killing intent within twenty feet could be an incredibly useful advantage, especially in a world where ambushes and assassination attempts were hardly rare.The additional ability to reduce mental fatigue only made them more appealing.But even with those benefits, most people believed the earrings were worth around half a million dollars at most.Yet Xavier had just thrown $800,000 onto the table as though he were buying a cup of coffee.It was enough to make people question whether m
