Dragon Master novel Maximilian

chapter 226 The Auction

"Do you think I am as stupid as you?" Phillip knocked Humphrey on his head fiercely, making

Humphrey dizzy and almost seeing stars in front of him.

Phillip was very annoyed at Humphrey's insensibility at the moment. He secretly called Humphrey dick-

head, “I already set an example for you. Why don't you apologize to Maximilian like me?” he thought.

"Mr. Lee, do you need me to throw them out? I really shouldn't invite such an insensible person." Phillip

said this with shame.

Those rich and young ladies standing by were extremely shocked and secretly guessed the

background of Maximilian.

But looking at Maximilian's plain clothes, they couldn't think of any possible explanation, let alone see

any clues that could be used to make judgments.

Humphrey was like an ant in Maximilian's eyes, so Maximilian didn't even consider fussing with him at

all.

"Just forget it." Maximilian said lightly.

"Since Mr. Lee has a big heart, this time he let you go easily. Otherwise, I could smash your mouths.

These people don't know how to talk. Their mouths are used for spraying shit." Phillip echoed.

Humphrey, Kacper, and Micah lowered their heads, just like children who did something wrong. They

didn't dare to talk back to Maximilian, or they would risk their lives.

"Mr. Lee, this way please. I will take you to the box. The auction will begin soon."

Phillip bowed, led the way and sent Maximilian to the VIP area. When the auction started, the rich and

young would enter their boxes in order to watch the live broadcast in the box and use the remote

control to bid.

Until Maximilian's figure disappeared, everyone finally took a breath of relief and whispered in a low

voice.

"Who is this Mr. Lee? Why President Phillip was respectful to him? Is he from a super-rich family?"

"Are you kidding me? If he is rich, then why he dress so ordinary, and there is no one following him?

Even he wanted to be low-key, at least he should have bodyguards and assistants."

"Who knows, just remember him. You can't mess with him in the future."

Everyone left, whispering. No one talked to Humphrey's group any more. They were all afraid that they

would be embroiled in it and cause any trouble for them in the future.

Micah stared at Humphrey, and said, "You have to give us an explanation."

"Who knows what's going on? That guy is the son-in-law in the Griffith's. He is a piece of trash who

could achieve nothing. He is completely dependent on his wife. Her wife gives him hundreds of dollars

a month for his living expenses. How can I explain it to you earlier?"

Humphrey wanted to cry without tears, and couldn’t figure out the reason. Why Phillip treated

Maximilian so respectfully? It was simply unreasonable.

Micah and Kacper were both stunned, seeing that Humphrey didn't seem like he was faking anything. If

Humphrey didn’t tell lies, then was Phillip crazy? Even if Maximilian was Phillip’s long-lost bastard, it

would not be treated with such respect. Phillip's respectful gesture was like treating his grandfather!

"If this is the case, then we should let it go. If I irritated such a weird person, I don't dare to stay any

longer. I will go first."

"Micah was right, you should go first. Humphrey, do you wanna leave? You should be careful if you

choose to stay here."

Micah and Kacper have seen a lot of infighting. They often talked and laughed on the surface, but stab

them behind their backs. Both of them felt that today's weird scene could be even more dangerous.

Just now, Maximilian might not be arrogant and domineering in front of everyone, but after turning

around, he was likely to instruct Phillip to do something and he always felt anxious to stay here.

"You go first. There is an item today I have to take it. You can go back first. I will invite you two next

time." Humphrey said with a serious face.

Micah and Kacper stopped talking, turned around and left the venue together.

Humphrey closed his eyes and took two deep breaths, picked up a glass of whiskey from the tray of the

passing waiter, drank up the whole glass of wine.

At this moment, Humphrey did not dare to look at anyone, knowing that people around him were

looking at him with mocking and sneering eyes.

But Humphrey couldn't leave because he had to buy a vital item, a jade pendant.

The moment he saw that pendant, Humphrey thought of Victoria wearing it around her delicate neck

and then lying under him and letting him do what he wanted.

He felt only that exquisite pendant could be worthy of Victoria's stunning face. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

To bid that pendant, Humphrey asked many experts for valuation, and he also sold off a lot of

investment, raised 60 million dollars, and wanted to bid the pendant.

"Maximilian! I will make you regret it. One day, our old and new debts will be settled together!"

Humphrey gritted his teeth fiercely, imagining that on Victoria's birthday, he would put the pendant

around Victoria's neck and then conquer Victoria's body and mind in front of Maximilian!

He must use the most violent means to retaliate against Maximilian! Let Maximilian live in his shadow

forever! Humphrey roared madly in his heart.

Soon it was time for the auction to begin, and the rich second generation from all walks of life came into

the box in twos and threes.

The number plate on the chest was taken off and put on the table, then Humphrey checked the

intercom and the TV for the live broadcast.

After everything was ready, Humphrey sat upright as if he was going to participate a contest.

The opening of the auction was all small items that to warm up the atmosphere and at the same time

let everyone experience the auction method. As the most important object, the jade pendant was the

second to the last.

Humphrey waited in silence, maintaining his upright sitting posture, as if he had been completely

petrified.

When the jade pendant came on stage, a strange light suddenly burst out from Humphrey's eyes.

"This is a sunny green jade pendant. It is the best jade among jadeites. The old-pit jade was almost

extinct. The entire mine has been excavated. Now all the new-pit jadeites are on the market. The top-

quality top-grade old0pit jade is extremely precious..."

The auctioneer introduced the history of the jade pendant. Humphrey did not bother to listen to his

introduction, but he picked up the communicator on the table and opened it.

A hoarse and excited voice came out of Humphrey's mouth, with a vocal line that had a distinct sense

of trembling, indicating Humphrey's mood at this moment, "Raise my bid to ten million."

At the same time, in the box where Maximilian was, Maximilian also picked up his communicator.

However, Maximilian did not rush to make an offer but was ready to see what the other competitors

were offering first. The early bidders in the auction were all bronze, and the kings always came at

last.
