Fourth Floor, Golden Room.

The Chester family hadn't bought a single item either. They were also eyeing this final lot for the sake of prestige.

"Father, those people on the floor above us haven't bid on anything. I'm afraid they're also targeting this final lot. We can't let them succeed," Marson said.

"Correct. This time, we will compete to see who is stronger," Simon replied.

"The final lot," the auctioneer's voice echoed, "Starting price, five billion!"

The entire auction hall was in an uproar.

"What? Five billion?"

"It must be a peerless treasure."

The annual auction at the Havana Auction House wasn't just about winning an item; it was a fierce competition for status and power.

In the tense silence, a voice was heard from the speaker of one of the private rooms.

"Five point one billion."

"Five point two billion!"

"Five point three billion!"

The bids from the guests on the first floor continued to crawl upwards. Before long, the private rooms on the upper floors began to make thei

    As he turned to leave, Javon stopped him. "Wait, Mr. Lincoln. Thank you for coming and bringing this wonderful gift. In the future, I will repay it twofold." He smiled coldly. "Besides, it seems you're very eager to experience what life in prison is like. Perhaps I can help you fulfill that wish."After that successful press conference, the situation at Forger Enterprise immediately turned around. Its stock price even increased by five percent. Javon's calm and decisiveness deeply impressed Serana.‘Could it be that Javon had been pretending all this time, hiding his abilities?’"Javon, come with me. There's something I want to give you," Serana said.The two of them went to Serana's office. She opened a safe, took out a red box, and opened it with a key. "Javon, this is something your father gave to me a few days before he disappeared.""He might have had a premonition that something was going to happen, so he gave me the official president's seal of the company for safekeeping. He s

  • Chapter 75. Checkmate

    Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctor said that thanks to prompt medical attention, the worker had only suffered minor rib fractures and would recover soon.Javon personally comforted the patient's family and guaranteed that all expenses would be covered, which left them very satisfied. Serana, standing by his side, felt a sense of awe. She never expected the once-reckless young man to be so calm in the face of a crisis.As Javon had predicted, other problems emerged one after another at the instrument factory and the logistics transport division. Javon personally stepped in to resolve all of them and minimize the losses."Aunt," he said after all the chaos had subsided, "Prepare a few things. I need to hold a press conference.""Alright, I'll arrange it immediately.""Let Sherly help you, she's capable."The series of accidents that had befallen Forger Enterprise had made the company the center of attention. This was the perfect time for a press conference.The atmosphere at the

  • Chapter 74. Clash of Grandmasters

    "Yes, it's me," Javon replied casually, his hands tucked in his pockets.Megias whispered, "He is the Grandmaster of the Proteus clan, Xavier. He's an expert fighter.""Is that so? Interesting," Javon murmured.Xavier looked at Javon with a contemptuous gaze. "Free our men, then we'll talk."Javon smiled. "Is that right? Then how should we calculate the losses the Emperor Bar has suffered because of your men's actions over the past half-month?""Heh, you think you can accuse us without proof?"Of course, they would deny it. Javon gestured with his eyes. Morris immediately ordered his men to bring out one of the thugs captured yesterday. Gripping the man's neck, Javon asked in a cold voice, "Tell me, were the people who caused trouble these past few days from the Proteus clan?"On the brink of life and death, the man finally confessed. "Cough... yes, that's right!"Xavier glared at the man with a vicious expression, then looked back at Javon. "Whether it's related or not, I am here now

  • Chapter 73. An Invitation in Blood

    Eleven o'clock at night.Just as Javon was about to leave, a blood-soaked man pushed open the door of the private room and staggered before him. "Master, please come downstairs and see. Our brothers are being beaten up by a group of people."When Javon went downstairs, he saw several thugs surrounding a woman.Walking forward, Javon tapped one of them on the shoulder. "Hey.""Who the hell are you? How dare you interrupt my fun?!" the thug snapped.It was then that Javon saw the face of the woman they were surrounding and was slightly surprised. "Aunt? Why are you here?"Seeing Javon, Serana was instantly relieved. "I saw you go into the Emperor Bar. I was worried something might have happened to you, so I came to check. But they started making trouble for me."Javon glanced at the thug pulling Serana's arm with a cold gaze. "Let her go, or you will bear the consequences.""Oh, so she's not your mother, but your mistress, huh?" the thug sneered.Their words made Serana feel ashamed and

  • Chapter 72. Trial by Fire and Needle

    He entered a private room that had been prepared for him and was slightly surprised. The room was immense and luxurious, with all the furnishings he could possibly need."This was prepared especially for you a long time ago, Master. Are you satisfied?" Megias asked.Javon nodded, feeling a sense of relief. Behind Megias stood a middle-aged man and woman, looking at him with deep respect. Megias stepped forward, respectfully introducing the two figures standing behind him. "Master, allow me to introduce you. They are the East Gate Elder, Clarissa, and the West Gate Elder, Morris.""Greetings, Master Zero!" The two of them bowed in unison, their demeanor full of reverence.Javon just gave a short nod. "No need for formalities."Suddenly, Elder Morris took a step forward, his gaze sharp and challenging. "With all due respect, Master Zero. Please show us your token of loyalty. By doing so, our hearts can be at ease."The moment those words were spoken, Megias's face instantly tensed. To a

  • Chapter 71. The Implosion

    She glanced at her hand, which was only slightly red, and felt a little confused, but didn't voice it. She didn't know that, not far away, several hidden cameras had recorded the entire incident. Sherly had anticipated that these two would use Javon's identity to attack Forger Enterprise, and she was not going to let them succeed.Javon gently took Sherly's hand and rubbed it. "My wife, does your hand hurt?"Sherly shook her head with a smile. However, she was somewhat suspicious. The slap she had just delivered was merely an impulsive gesture. She hadn't used much force. So, why was its impact on Javier so great?Seeing more and more people crowding around, Aleesha, who had gained nothing from the exchange, became angry and embarrassed. "Sherly, how dare you hit someone in public? Believe it or not, I can have you thrown in jail!""She can do more than just hit him," Javon interjected, his cold eyes now staring directly at Aleesha. "She can hit you too. If you don't believe me, feel
