At that moment, upon seeing the confrontation finally reach some kind of uncomfortable resolution with Elizabeth's strategic silence, the auctioneer recognized the opportunity to restore order and continue with the ceremonial proceedings.

The auctioneer quickly cleared his throat with professional authority, attempting to return the exclusive event to the dignified atmosphere appropriate for such a prestigious Black family auction.

“David, would you please do us the honor of literally presenting this valuable item - this precious treasure - to Elizabeth as our auction winner?” the auctioneer said with formal courtesy, trying to conclude the transaction with appropriate ceremony despite the hostile exchanges that had preceded it.

At that moment, the item that Elizabeth had won with her fifty million dollar bid was being carefully handed over to David by the auction staff.

David literally smiled as he received the package containing the anti-aging formula and manufacturing rights that E

    At that moment, seeing the utterly merciless and determined look on David's face, the look of someone who had already decided another person's fate, Mr. Timothy could tell with absolute certainty that David was literally the kind of person who would do anything necessary to achieve his goals. This wasn't a man who negotiated or showed mercy, this wasn't someone who would just fold his hands and walk away without completing what he came to do. The realization hit Mr. Timothy like a physical blow - he was facing his own death, and nothing he could say or do would change that outcome.That was when, in a final desperate attempt to save his own life, Mr. Timothy immediately pointed his trembling finger directly at Benjamin with wild panic and said, "It was Benjamin who gave me the idea to go after you! I never knew you personally before all this started, I never knew anything about you or your background or your capabilities!"His voice rose with hysteria as he tried to shift all blame a

    Mr. Timothy didn't say anything at all, couldn't form a single word or coherent thought, as complete and overwhelming fear started gripping tightly into every fiber of his body, paralyzing him with terror as he couldn't believe what he just saw with his own eyes, couldn't believe what just happened right in front of him in his own private suite. The bodies of his most trusted guards lay scattered around the room like broken dolls, their blood pooling on his expensive floor, and the man responsible stood calmly among the carnage as if nothing unusual had occurred. His mind struggled to process the impossible reality of what David had done, how he had killed trained fighters without even touching them, without using any weapon that could be seen or understood.So at that moment, with the silence stretching uncomfortably between them, David then said in a voice that was calm but carried an undertone of deadly seriousness, "I'm going to ask you one simple question, and you're going to gi

    That was when Benjamin suddenly literally remembered with crystal clarity that this was the exact same look, this was the exact same confident attitude in which David literally carried himself during the Audition confrontation, and he could tell immediately that it was David's unexpected power that literally destroyed their carefully planned scheme from the very beginning. The memory hit Benjamin like a cold wave of fear as he recalled how quickly everything had gone wrong when they underestimated David before. And however, looking at David's calm demeanor now, it seems like he really wants to do something similar again, to turn this situation around just like he did before, and Benjamin was absolutely determined that he's not going to allow that to happen this time. His voice carried urgent warning as he realized the danger they might be walking into once again.Immediately, that was when Benjamin turned quickly to Mr. Timothy with panic in his voice and then said desperately, “Mr.Ti

    Immediately, that was when Mr. Timothy then clapped his hands together slowly and mockingly for David and said, “Well, I'm not going to fold my hands and sit around waiting to literally look for you anymore.”His voice was filled with absolute confidence.“You came here by yourself, like I said before, and you are going to be dealt with so mercilessly, so severely that next time you would understand that there are some people you don't go looking for trouble with.”Mr. Timothy's eyes burned with revenge. “There are some people that you literally would need to run away from when you see them coming.”His tone grew more threatening. “There are some people in which you would need to cover your head in shame and hide your face when you cross their path.”The patriarch pointed his finger at David accusingly. “But you made a very terrible mistake by literally hurting my son, by putting him in the hospital and humiliating my family name, and I'm not going to allow that to slide or be forgo

    That was when Mr. Timothy, upon seeing David standing there with such calm confidence despite being surrounded by dozens of armed guards, literally couldn't help but started smiling with genuine amusement.His smile was that of a powerful man who believed he held all the cards in this deadly game they were about to play.The patriarch's eyes gleamed with anticipation and barely contained malice as he studied David's composed demeanor.Then he stood up slowly and deliberately from his luxurious seat, his movement commanding the attention of everyone in the immediate vicinity.Benjamin also stood up beside him in a show of solidarity and shared purpose, their alliance now completely visible and undeniable.And Mr. Timothy said with theatrical pleasure and obvious satisfaction, “This is actually perfect timing on your part!”His voice carried the confidence of a man who believed he was in complete control of the situation.“You just came at exactly the right time for what I had planned f

    And the security guard also confirmed his thoughts.However, as David processed what had just happened at the family mansion, he didn't know why the security personnel just gave him this crucial information so easily and without any resistance.This struck him as extremely unusual and potentially suspicious behavior from trained professionals.Because people of this prominent stature and influence in high society, when you come to their house in this direct manner without prior arrangement, they are definitely not going to literally give you the whereabouts of the patriarch just because you asked.Standard security protocol would dictate much more caution and verification procedures.They will typically ask you to book a proper appointment through official channels, or inquire whether the patriarch is expecting you, or demand to know the nature of your business.But David was surprised that they literally just told him where the patriarch might be located without any of these normal s
