Chapter 66. The Sky Lantern
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
Chapter 65. The Aftershock
BUK!KRAKK!The moment Simon's fist connected with his chest, a devastating wave of counter-energy erupted from Javon's body. With just a slight push, Simon was thrown backward as if he had hit an invisible wall, then crashed hard onto the floor."Father!"Simon struggled to his feet, wiping a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Javon in horror. "This is impossible... You're so young, yet you possess such profound inner strength. Truly terrifying.""It only proves how shallow your knowledge is," Javon retorted, completely unfazed."Father, what are you talking about?" Marson didn't understand. In his entire life, he had never seen his father afraid of anyone.Shoving his son aside, Simon Chester sized Javon up from head to toe, his eyes filled with shock. "At my current age, I have only just reached the initial level of power control. I never expected that at your young age, your internal strength has already reached the level of a Master.""You're quite knowl
An Unbecoming Display
Marson lifted his head and glared at the hand holding him, then at the face of the hand's owner."Do you know who you're talking to?" he growled, his jaw tightening with rage."Aren't you the famous Young Master Marson?" Javon replied with a faint smile. His tone was polite, but his eyes radiated clear mockery, as if he were speaking to a child.A few people in the vicinity who heard this couldn't suppress a small laugh. Marson's face instantly flushed, humiliated in public. He shouted to his followers, "Damn it! What are you waiting for?! Get him!""Hold it!"A deep, authoritative voice was heard, stopping everyone's movement. The crowd parted, making way for a middle-aged man who walked with an aura of power."That's Simon Chester, the head of the Chester family!" someone whispered."Father, you're finally here! These people are bullying me in public. You have to defend me!" Marson exclaimed, twisting the facts.Simon Chester stared intently at Mr. Lessom's group. "Who dares to insu
Chapter 63. The Price of Entry
Without waiting for approval, Javon strode forward and approached the man who had spoken most arrogantly. "Excuse me, could you repeat what you just said?""Who are you? How dare you question Young Master Marson?" one of his followers retorted, trying to suck up to his master."I don't care if he's a young master or not," Javon replied bluntly. "If you're looking for trouble with me, you'll get it."The man called Marson laughed condescendingly. "I am Marson Chester, eldest son of the Chester family, one of the four great families of the capital. How dare you speak to me like that? Are you looking to die?"He then continued mockingly, "Since you're already here, you should understand the rules. All seats in the Havana Auction House are arranged by status. Why don't you take out your seating cards so we can see what level you're really at?"Marson gestured, and one of the men beside him stepped forward, trying to snatch the seating card from Mr. Lessom's hand.However, as soon as his h
Chapter 62. A Duel of Words
"Of... of course, Keane. You being alright makes Father and me the happiest people in the world!" Caesar replied, forcing a smile onto his pale face."Really? I don't think so," Javon interjected lightly. "Until this matter is thoroughly investigated, it's still unclear who is human and who is a ghost. Isn't that right, Caesar Emerald?"Caesar felt his heart pound. 'Could Javon know something? Impossible!' He calmed himself and said, "We are brothers by blood. Of course, we trust each other one hundred percent, don't we, Second Brother?""Of course," Keane replied with a faint smile. "Caesar loves me the most. When I was gravely ill, Caesar was the busiest one looking for doctors for me. His efforts were truly extraordinary." Keane stepped forward, placed a hand on Caesar's shoulder, and looked him straight in the eye.Feeling guilty, Caesar didn't dare to meet his gaze. His eyes flickered continuously. "Of course, my brother understands my hard work.""But some good intentions are mo
The Phoenix from the Flames
Everyone got into the cars. The convoy slowly left the airport, heading for Lafite Mansion, their residence in the capital. Inside the first car, Caesar kept glancing at the car behind them in the rearview mirror. Seeing everything was going according to plan, a deep sense of satisfaction grew within him.Soon, he thought, the real show will begin."Caesar," Mr. Lessom said to him, using his first name. "This time you've come to Salvador, you must uphold the family's good name. Father has high hopes for you.""Yes, Father. Rest assured, I will not disappoint you," Caesar replied. He glanced at his watch again. The time was almost here.BOOM!At that exact moment, the second car directly behind them exploded. Flames shot into the sky, and fragments of the car flew in all directions."Keane! Javon!"When Mr. Lessom saw the car behind him erupt in a fireball, he froze. As the realization that Keane and Javon were still inside that car hit him, his head suddenly buzzed. He could only stan
