“Pfft! You’re no fun!” Sharon rolled her eyes at Jack, turned around, and said, “I’ll raise it to 120 million! I’m buying it for my grandfather. He seems to have trouble sleeping recently!”
“150 million!”
At this moment, the Roy family who had previously been silent all this time immediately stood up and raised his hand. He said, “I will raise the bid to 150 million dollars!”
“The Roy family’s master also has his eye on it to make that kind of bid!”
“That’s too much! He’s truly from a first-class aristocratic family. Spending 150 million dollars just to buy that luminous pearl? This price should be close to its original amount now!”
“I’m not sure if anyone else would still fight for it?”
Many of the wealthy merchants were in complete shock.
It had only taken a few couple minutes for the price to skyrocket from 10 million to a baffling 150 million dollars.
When Micheal thought about gaining Selena’s favor and how she might jump into his arms after giving her such an expensive gift, he stood up while gritting his teeth and said, “180 million!”
“Good lord!”
At the side, Ken was shocked by his actions as he said, “Don’t act so rashly, Young Master Michael. Although this pearl is precious, 180 million dollars is way too much. Even I don’t desire fighting for it any longer…”
“What do you know? I have my uses for it. This pearl might actually extend one’s lifespan. The staff from the auction have validated the fact that if this pearl is placed next to one’s pillow for an extended period of time, it can slow down one’s metabolism. Although its merely a subtle change, it’s actually quite effective!”
Although Micheal was explaining this to him, he was actually scoffing in his heart. He secretly muttered, “Just wait till I give this pearl to Selena. After I sleep with her and gift her this in front of you while she’s in my embrace, will you truly understand what winning in life means. You’ll be so envious of me then.”
Women often had little to no resistance toward certain precious items, not to mention that this would cost him 180 million dollars. Selena might actually be incredibly touched once she knew this. Moreover, after he told Selena about Jack going to look for a wealthy woman, he could use the opportunity of her despair to comfort her. Would this not work out for him then? Micheal cracked a grin on the edge of his lips while thinking of this.
“Nephew Michael, are you going to fight for the thing I have my eye on as well?”
Robert frowned before he smiled at Michael and said, “Are youngsters like you not uninterested in enjoying life without any regard anymore? When did you start getting interested in treasures like these?”
Robert was completely speechless as he assumed his high bid for the pearl would allow him to obtain it without a doubt. However, he had never expected…
“Uncle Robert, this is an auction so it’s a free for all, right? There is no trivial rule that youngsters have to submit to their elders now, is there?” Michael shrugged his shoulders.
The edges of Robert’s mouth violently twitched but in the end, he still spoke with a smile. “Fine. Since you want to fight against me, then don’t mind if I do! 200 million!”
“Are you mad? The Roy family is a first-class aristocratic family!” Ken instinctively tugged Michael as he advised him with a soft tone.
“So what if it’s a first-class aristocratic family? The Wilson family is very close to being one soon. Besides, if a first-class aristocratic family harbored hatred just because they lost a bid, wouldn’t that be too petty? Are they not afraid of being mocked by people?”
When Michael started thinking about Selena’s body and how amazing it would feel to hug her, he felt excited. Barely getting seated again, he immediately stood up and was just about to raise his hand to make a bid.
At the moment, no one else dared to name their bids anymore. It seemed it was now down to him and the Roy family. This item would soon be in his hands.
Right then, a loud sigh followed by a lazy sounding voice could be heard, instantly silencing the entire room. “300 million.”
No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 162
“Good lord, I didn’t mishear, right? From 200 million jumping to 300 million, that’s a little too insane now, isn’t it?”
“That wouldn’t be a mistake, right? Even if she’s just adding a hundred million without hesitation, it’s still a hundred million dollars. Even if it’s a first-class aristocratic family doing so, they would still have to seriously consider spending that much money!”
“Yeah, maybe 210 million dollars is enough to win the bid? Wouldn’t saving 90 million dollars be a good thing?”
Plenty of wealthy merchants and second-class aristocratic families were completely shocked by what had happened. Of course, the Roy family, the Four Major Families, and Timothy who had not even made an offer yet, were also startled by the current outcome.
What was even more unexpected to them was that the person who made the bid was none other than Jack.
“Jack, are you sure it’s 300 million dollars? Have you asked the person beside you? You wouldn’t just be randomly calling out numbers now, would you? If you call out a bid and actually win it later, you won’t be able to escape if you can’t pay up!” Michael told Jack while pointing at him. He was incredibly furious in his heart as he had already stood up with his hand raised, about to call out another bid. After the stunt Jack had pulled however, he felt very humiliated.
“That’s right. Don’t just randomly call out numbers! Or else, don’t even think about leaving this place!”
Timothy was also incredibly furious. The 200 million offer he made was already an astronomical amount but with Jack’s 300 million dollars offer, this felt like a blatant insult to him.
Jack shrugged his shoulders as he responded. “Yeah, I did. I wasn’t just yelling random numbers!”
Upon noticing all the shocked and surprised expressions from everyone, Lana found the situation quite hilarious as she calmly nodded her head and said, “Yeah, I agreed to it. Don’t worry, money isn’t a problem!”
Everyone was speechless. They found the woman’s identity even more mysterious since there were actually very few wealthy ladies who could so casually fork out 300 million dollars.
“320 milion!”
After giving it some thought, Timothy actually stood up and raised the price.
Plenty of people gasped as they did not expect anyone else to attempt to fight for it still when it had already reached 300 million dollars. This single luminous pearl was quite the hot sale now.
However, everyone calmed down when they thought about how massive the Drake family business was. 300 million dollars would make plenty of second-class aristocratic families feel immensely pressured as the pearl’s effectiveness to extend a person’s lifespan was still unclear.
There would be an enormous difference between the current bid price and the pearl’s actual base price if this was merely being used as a sleeping aid.
However, a price tag like this was absolutely no problem for the Drake family.
“330 million!” After gritting his teeth, the master of the Roy family, Robert, made another offer.
“350 million!” Unexpectedly, Rue actually stood up at this moment, raising the bid once again.
Michael was a little displeased. If he spent 300 million, his father would lecture him without a doubt as the company funds were a little tight at the moment. However, he thought about how he would be using this pearl to win Selena’s heart and besides that, if he could win the bid, it would prove the Wilson family’s strength and make them proud.
He hardened his heart and said, “360 million!”
“400 million!” Jack actually raised his hand and yelled out.
“You…” Michael was beyond furious as he somehow felt Jack seemed to be intentionally targeting him by adding so much money on a whim.

“420 million!!”
The corners of Timothy’s lips twitched repeatedly. Initially, he had assumed he would be able to win the bid at 320 million dollars. However, he did not expect…
As the price climbed up to around 400 million, it did not matter if they were Robert, Grayson, Sharon, or anyone else for that matter, they all sat down immediately and dared not make another bid because the price tag was now just too extravagant. Although they all wanted it, they were stopped in their tracks.
“500 milion!”
Once again however, Jack cracked a calm smile as he stood up and said, “My friend next to me said 500 million!”
Even the old man on the stage was incredibly excited. They were paid by commissions and a price like this was something even he had not expected.
This time, even Timothy dared not raised the price further as he sat there alone, frowning depressingly. novelbin
“500 million, going once! If no one else is adding then this pearl will go to that beautiful woman’s hands!”
“500 million, going twice!”
The old man was beaming on stage, just waiting for the moment to hammer down his gavel.
“Wait!”
At that moment, Timothy stood up immediately.
He looked directly at Lana then said, “I’m very curious to know who this beautiful woman might be? 500 million dollars for a single pearl isn’t too huge an amount but anyone with less than 1 billion dollars in hand wouldn’t make such an offer now, right?”
“Yeah, I’m very curious too. I don’t remember any wealthy women with a net worth of over 1 billion dollars in Eastfield to be so young. You couldn’t possibly offer up 500 million when you only have ten in total just to buy that pearl, right?” Michael had also stood up immediately and said that.
“Yeah, who is that woman exactly? That’s far too much money, right?”
“I also feel off about it. Furthermore, why did she wear a facemask and a pair of shades? Is she trying to not be recognized by people?”
Most of the wealthy merchants started to discuss among themselves.
Lana scoffed in her heart and said, “I am not required to tell you guys who I am, right? Since this is an auction, the item will naturally go to the highest bidder. If you guys are not raising the price, then that luminous pearl is now mine!”
Many were silenced as her statement made sense.
“Alright then. 500 milion going thrice! Sold!” The old man who stood on stage overseeing the auction had finally hammered down his gavel hard before telling Lana, “Please come on stage to have your card swiped, miss!”
“No problem!!” Lana walked up the stage immediately while Jack followed beside her.
“I’m interested to see if you truly have that much money!”
Timothy was incredibly furious but could not do anything. What was more baffling to him was the fact that Jack, a Drake family bodyguard, had come here during working hours to go on a date with her!
He was suspicious of Jack and was very sure that Jack was a sugar baby under that wealthy woman’s care.
This wealthy woman might not be from Eastfield however, and most likely came from somewhere else. However, how did she learn about the pearl that would be auctioned off today?
“She actually did it!”
It did not take long for everyone present to watch Lana successfully pay the bill by swiping her card through the machine. On the side, the old man placed the luminous pearl into an intricate, small box before handing it over to Lana.
“I’ve got the men ready, boss. Since we’ll be beating Jack up in a few moments, why don’t we snatch the luminous pearl from him as well!” Neil’s personal bodyguard behind him took a step forward and whispered into his ear.
No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 164
Neil’s eyes lit up as he heard that. He cracked a sinister grin on the edge of his lips as he said, “You sly fox. You’ve finally gained some intelligence! That pearl is worth 500 million so if we can snatch it, we’ll make a huge profit!”
“that’s right!” The bodyguard chuckled as they both strode out.
When outside, they saw more than a handful of men standing at the plaza’s corner. One of the men was dressed poorly and seemed very disheveled. Some of them wore sleeveless shirts, the exposed muscles on their arms looking very intimidating.
“Young Master Neil’s lackey said our main target this time is a young man. He said that although he might seem very young on the surface, he’s actually really powerful. If not, we wouldn’t have gathered so many men here!”
“Don’t be careless later. They might be getting out soon.”
“Don’t worry, we have numbers on our side and our target is only one man. He might actually piss himself out of fear from how many people are out to get him. Not to mention, we have a few black belts with us!” a chubby-looking man spoke while giggling.
“Fair point. Although we only have 60 people with us here, our overall combat power is really strong!”
The chubby-looking man clenched his fist and immediately demonstrated a flying kick. The pose looked really cool. After he was done speaking, he immediately noticed Neil and his bodyguard were already walking out.
While they were both outside, Neil’s bodyguard whistled. “Come on, let’s go!”
One of the men waved his hand and brought the group over to meet them.
“Keep an eye out for someone for me. There’s a woman beside the little brat. She’s wearing a pair of shades and a mask. Besides just beating him up, I want you guys to also snatch a tiny wooden box from that woman!”
Upon noticing Jack and the others were not out yet, Neil thought of something and said, “We will be watching you guys from a nearby spot. Just pretend you don’t know us, alright? We can’t allow them to know it was us who hired you guys, do you understand?”
“Alright, Young Master Neil! Don’t you worry, our mouths are sealed!”
The chubby-looking man assured confidently while slapping his chest.
“Alright, don’t approach them directly later. Just pretend you guys have noticed a beautiful woman and intend to get your hands on her. With that, they wouldn’t think that you’re going to rob them!” After some thought, Neil swiftly added that statement before leaving with his bodyguard.
As they had just arrived at the other end, more people were exiting the plaza.
It did not take long for the ruffians to spot both Jack and Lana.
“Damn, look at that woman’s body! It’s so exotic!”
Upon noticing the situation, a bald man silently gulped and said, “Especially those long legs. They’re firm and strong. Not to mention, her breasts are huge!”
The chubby-looking man chuckled as he noticed how the bald man was behaving. He said, “I didn’t expect you to be so lustful. Let’s go, you take the lead…”
“okay. Later when we’re snatching that box away from the woman, we can touch and feel her up to our hearts content. This isn’t so bad after all!”
The bald man touched his bald head while flames of lust shone in his gaze as a group of people soon strode over toward Jack and Lana.
“Hey, Young Master Michael, why do I get the feeling that those people are targeting Jack and that woman?”
No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 165
Michael was having a private conversation with Ken nearby and it did not take them long to notice the group of people.
“Yeah, they were swarmed immediately after exiting. Judging from the look of things, someone hired them privately. Oh boy, Jack and that woman better be ready for a world of trouble real soon!”
Michael nodded as he made his speculations.
“they might be after that luminous pearl!”
Ken chuckled and looked at Robert nearby as he said, “Could it be Robert’s doing? He was quite aggressive during the auction earlier.”
“Aside from him, it’s also possible that it might be Timothy’s doing. I have a feeling that Timothy isn’t someone who likes to be crossed!”
Michael looked at Timothy from the side.
At that moment, it did not matter who they were as everyone was interested to see what would happen after noticing the situation happening nearby. They would all not be leaving for now.
“Hey girl, you ain’t too bad and that body sure is something!” The bald man’s face was beaming as he approached Lana from the front and made that remark. He then said, “What are you wearing a facemask for? Come on now, let big brother take a look. How do you look?”
The bald man had a teasing look on his face. They thought that if they roughed a woman up, the man beside her would probably intervene since he was known to be quite capable.
When that happened, they could beat the man to a pulp and rob them blind at the same time. Of course, he would not mind feeling the woman up as they snatched that prized item off her. He wanted to feel her to his heart’s content and fully enjoy her body. However, they did not expect Jack to stand there beside her, completely unmoving.
“Weird, this man isn’t going to step in? Is he not afraid of what we’re going to do to this woman?”
The bald man was stunned but his arm was already reaching out toward Lana’s facemask. He wanted to rip it off.
“Awesome! We can now see who that woman truly is!” Micheal had been long interested to see who exactly the woman was. However, she had not taken the bait when they were intentionally provoking
her at the auction earlier. They could not do a thing if she did not want to take her facemask off.
He did not expect the opportunity to come so soon.
Grayson looked at his lackeys beside him. They were also nodding in agreement as it seemed they wanted to know the woman’s identity and how she looked like, as well as how she was able to offer 500 milliion dollars to win the bid for that luminous pearl.
Neil eyeballed his bodyguard as they were waiting to watch how the scene unfolded.
Especially Jack, as he had the audacity to slap him three times previously. Today, he wanted him to know just what ruthless actually meant.
Just when the bald man’s hand was about to touch Lana’s facemask, Lana grabbed his wrist in an instant.
“Ah!” That bald man immediately yelled out in pain as the strength that came from Lana was terrifyingly strong. A slight twitch was enough to make him nearly kneel and scream out in agony. Was this an actual woman? How could this woman who was dressed in such feminine clothing possess such inhuman strength?
“So, you think trash like you have the right to touch me?” When Lana was at the auction earlier, she was forced to roll with the punches in order to prevent her identity from being exposed. She did not expect that the instant she got out, she would be met with a situation like this. This instantly ignited the fury in her chest.
“Dammit, I’m still a 6th degree black belt taekwondo master!” The bald man gritted his teeth before giving Lana a kick.
No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 166
“Good lord! That bald man happens to be black belt taekwondo master and a 6th degree even!”
“Yeah! That’s pretty impressive!”
Two wealthy merchants exclaimed immediately as they witnessed the scene.
“Thud!”
Unfortunately at the very next second, everyone was completely baffled as they all saw Lana release his wrist and immediately clench her fist, instantly connecting it with the man’s thigh.
A strong wave of force instantly sent the bald man flying as he landed on the ground two meters away.
The bald man cried out in agony again when he crashed on the ground.
“So, it seems like a 6th degree black belt is nothing more than this!” Lana chuckled, extremely dissatisfied.
“That woman is actually this powerful?”
They were all shocked once again when as they watched what happened.
“F*ck it, let’s all go after them!”
The bald man gritted his teeth and when he picked himself off the ground, he realized that the skin on his palms was all scraped off. He felt extremely humiliated as he was being watched by many powerful people at the moment.
In that instant, those holding steel pipes immediately rushed forward all at once. Of course, there were also some black belt masters in the mix.
“Need help? Although you seem like you can handle yourself but as a gentleman, I should still ask!” Jack had a calm look on his face as he stood on the side.
“I can take care of these scum!” There was no hint of fear from Lana as she stood to face these men who were rushing at her. Rather, she approached them on her own accord.
It did not take long for such a baffling scene to occur happen. It did not matter if they were black belt masters or regular thugs, they all laid agonizingly on the ground in less than two minutes while crying out in pain.
“Tell me baldy, what are you guys after? Are you guys planning to snatch the luminous pearl off me? Who hired you guys?” Lana had finally walked in front of the bald man and questioned him with a cold tone. She emanated a terrifying aura.
“We’re dead now, young master. There were so many people, even several black belt masters, and they were still no match for them!”
“In the case that he rats us out, would they come after us?” Neil’s personal bodyguard was so terrified at that moment, his legs trembling as he felt slightly weak. He heard Neil say that Jack was incredibly powerful. Why did he get the feeling that this wealthy lady was even more terrifying than Jack?
Although he had not seen Jack unleash his powers yet but based on the combat ability the woman had showcased earlier, she could only be described as terrifying. He knew in his heart that he was absolutely no match against her.
“Don’t panic, didn’t they mention earlier that their lips are sealed? They will never rat us out!” Neil was also slightly worried in his heart. He tried to stay calm as he said that, gulping.
“We-we’re just passing through. We only came over after we noticed how attractive you are!” The bald man cunningly replied, thinking quickly on his feet.
After he was done speaking, he noticed Lana’s long and sexy legs as he laid on the floor. His nose had nearly bled and with the angle he was in, it would have been embarrassing if she had not worn anything!
No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 167
“passing through?” Lana chuckled coldly and said, “I refuse to believe such a coincidence. We had just come out and somehow, you guys just so happen to appear here? Not to mention, if you were just passing through, why’d you bring along a crowd with you?”
“We were originally planning to pick a fight with someone else, hence the crowd. However when we were passing through here, we noticed your huge breasts and perky butt. I could not hold myself back from toying with you both.” The bald man continued.
Nearby, when Neil and his bodyguard heard that excuse, they let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately that bald man was smart enough to spin an excuse and not rat them out.
At the very next second however, Lana immediately stomped on the back of the man’s hand. She spoke in a terrifyingly voice. “Have I not been letting you come clean? I refuse to believe in coincidences! It’s a good thing that you guys appeared after the auction was over!”
“I-I’m telling you the truth!” The bald man gritted his teeth and persisted with his lie.
The expressions of many men dimmed upon witnessing Lana’s ruthlessness. Although this woman was attractive, any man of hers would have difficulties in controlling her.
Both Ken and his bodyguard grew anxious again.
“Let’s bail now in case they break, young master. I think this woman isn’t the type to talk things out! Not to mention, Jack is also a dangerous man to mess with!” The bodyguard was already starting to
become afraid as he whispered that to Ken.
“It’s not wise to leave now, right? The others are spectating here so if we’re the only people to leave, wouldn’t this show that we’re guilty? At that point, we might rat ourselves out before they do!” Neil’s expression was dim since not a single person from either the Mont family, the George family, the Roys’, or the Young’s had left the scene. Even the wealthy merchants were patiently waiting for a good show so how could they leave then?
“you have a pretty tight mouth there!” Since Lana noticed the man was unwilling to spill the beans, she aimed at a very specific spot on his body as she laughed and said, “Say, if I stomp my foot there, would you actually become a eunuch?”
As soon as he heard that, the bald man nearly wet himself. That was far too brutal.
Lana was already lifting her leg when the bald man hesitated. Her high heels seemed too blinding to look at.
“I…” The bald man looked at Neil’s direction and was not bold enough to speak since he had made a promise to Young Master Neil. However, he also did not want to end up as a eunuch.
As Neil gritted his teeth, that imbecile actually pointed at him before yelling out, “Even if you kill me, I won’t speak a damn word!”
Lana looked at Neil before releasing the man. She calmly said, “Your lips are definitely sealed alright!”
“Come over, Young Master Neil!” After she said that, Lana gestured at Neil to come over.
“Lady, pretty lady. What are you calling me for?” Neil had a bitter look on his face and his voice sounded shaky.
“So you expect me to come over and personally bring you here? You won’t live to see tomorrow if I have to do so.” Lana exclaimed coldly.
“You’re not afraid now, are you, Young Master Neil? So you’re a coward then, Young Master Neil?” Jack cackled out loud with a disdainful look on his face.
Young Master Neil gritted his teeth and walked over. He said, “What’s there to be afraid of, it’s not my doing anyway. Therefore, why should I be afraid? This is truly comical!”
“Exactly, we’re not afraid!” His personal bodyguard also followed behind immediately. He then furiously told the bald man who was lying on the ground, “Who the hell are you? Why are you blindly pointing at Young Master Neil? Are you trying to frame our Young Master Neil?”
No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 168
“Truly unexpected. It was actually Young Master Neil’s doing!”
On another side, Ken frowned and said, “Why did Neil do that?”
“I’ve never heard of Neil having a grudge against Jack before and he didn’t pursue Selena as well, right?”
“From the look of things, he is most likely after the luminous pearl! He doesn’t wish to spend money on it so he had someone else rob it for him! I didn’t expect that woman to be so powerful!”
Michael began to speculate. None of them were fools and it was obviously Neil’s doing when the bald man pointed directly at them instead of anyone else.
“It’s unclear what exactly Neil was thinking of to take such a risk when her identity is still a mystery!” On the other hand, Grayson chuckled coldly.
Sharon was completely star-struck as she only stared at Jack. She could no longer hold herself back as she walked up with a few people beside her and asked Jack, “Hey handsome, you’re Jack, right? Can I add you on WeChat?”
Jack felt awkward as he replied, “Sorry, I’m not into these sorts of things!”
“Oh please, you’re only with that wealthy lady for money, right?
“Just tell me, how much does she give you per month? I’ll double it!” She then continued, “But I’m still a virgin and I’ve never given ‘that’ a thought… So, we’ll take it slow, alright?”
Jack was agitated from that remark. He, a proud guardian of Daxia, an honorable Supreme Warrior, was actually being…
He decided to ignore Sharon completely as he then spoke to Neil, “Neil, do you think we can believe a word you say?”
“He’s framing me. What right do you both have to accuse me of hiring these people?” Neil puffed out his chest and spoke confidently.
“Slap!”
However, Jack immediately gave Neil a hard slap as he said, “Who gave you permission to lie?”
“You-you dare hit me?” Neil was beyond furious as his face warmed instantly.
There were second and first-class aristocratic families present, along with many wealthy merchants. Moreover, even the Drake family’s young master was here. Yet, Jack still dared to hit him. With so many people watching, how would he be able to show his face anywhere else in the future? Although he was previously slapped thrice, there had not been many powerful people present then.
“Slap!”
Jack gave him a back-handed slap again as he said, “It’s not the first time anyway. Since you’re this forgetful, naturally, I should educate you well!”
His personal bodyguard was completely shocked as he wondered who was Jack exactly? How could a veteran act so rashly? How could he actually be bold enough to hit Neil? Their Young Master Neil happened to be a young master to a second-class aristocratic family!
“No way! Jack’s actually this bold?” Even Timothy was shocked as he wondered if he was mistaking the scene at hand.
Robert, the Roy family’s master, was also stunned as he thought about just how bold this brat had to be.
“That’s awesome, you finally unleashed your fury! I actually thought you lacked masculinity when you didn’t do anything earlier. I didn’t expect my Prince Charming to be so masculine. I-I worship you deeply. Oh, I absolutely adore you now!” Standing at the side, Sharon was completely charmed. She clasped both hands together while placing them on her chest, her eyes filled completely with stars.
“This idiot… Is he not afraid of angering the Hugo family?” Michael was gobsmacked as this scene was something he had not expected.
His personal bodyguard could no longer hold himself back. He immediately clenched his fist before lunging forward to unleash a powerful martial arts move at Jack.
No. 1 Supreme Warrior Novel By Moneto Chapter 169
However, Jack moved his body slightly to the side, easily avoiding the assault before giving him a swift kick that instantly connected with the man’s chest.
The man coughed out blood as his body shot up several meters from the ground before smacking back down against the ground. He felt a sharp pain radiate from every inch of his body, it was as if every bone in his body was about to break.
“Really, it really wasn’t me!” How could Neil even dare admit it was himself. If he did, would that not mean he was admitting to being a vile and petty person?
If word got out about him hiring some thugs to snatch the item away after losing the auction, it would put the Hugo family’s reputation into the dirt without a doubt.
“So, you lack the courage to admit something you’re bold enough to do? What kind of man are you?” Jack gave another back-handed slap across the man’s face.
This time, Jack put more force into it, so it did not take long for the man’s face to swell up.
“You, if you dare hit me again, I’ll let my father know and he’ll never let you go…”
“Slap!”
“I-I’m the Hugo family’s young master…”
“Slap!”
Every time Neil tried to argue, Jack would slap him across the face, sounding louder and sharper than normal.
“Yes, it was me!” Neil was at the brink of tears and if he persisted under these circumstances, he would be slapped to death by Jack.
However, he immediately added, “But I only hired them to beat you up. That was because when we met previously, we had some conflicts and I held onto that grudge ever since. I only wanted to teach
you a lesson and had absolutely no intention to snatch that luminous pearl from you!”
“I can barely believe half the things you say!” Jack stared coldly at his swollen face, waved his hand, and said, “Beat it. Best you show up less often in front of me in the future. Since you’re clueless on how you should act as a human and love lying, I’ll give you a good lesson on how to act like a human!”
“You…” Neil still wanted to impulsively leave behind some threats since it was an ingrained habit. However, after being glared at by Jack, it terrified him so much that he turned around and bolted away.
After the bodyguard noticed the current situation, he clambered up from the ground immediately and ran away with Neil.
“That idiot. How dare he hit Neil?’ Michael frowned as he was also a young master to a second-class aristocratic family. However, the brat was so bold that he had actually hit Neil in public without being afraid of the Hugo family’s retaliation.
However, he soon thought about something else. Could it be because of how powerful the woman’s status was? Without a doubt, Jack had to be standing under the shadow of the woman’s protection to do what he did earlier.
“This time, you’re not being quite as low profile. A mix of major and minor powers from Eastfield have witnessed what you’ve done!” Lana said to Jack in a soft tone while looking at him.
“Sigh, if I don’t demonstrate some ferocity, I’m worried they might annoy me like flies!”
“Besides, didn’t you provide me with some form of cover earlier? Your performance earlier terrified them!” Jack lowered his voice as he said that. It sounded very soft so most people would find it very difficult to hear him.
“Let’s go! Lana led Jack back to her sports car.
“Hey handsome, you can also leave me your number. I know you’re called Jack, am I right? I overheard it earlier. Hey, don’t leave. I’ll find you and don’t you worry, I can double the price. If you think I’m fat, I can lose weight too!”
“I was also a beauty back then!” Sharon’s voice could be heard from behind them. Although she was fat, her voice was still quite sweet.
After the car left, Sharon lowered her head depressingly and looked at the excess fat on her belly. She said, “I really was a beauty back then. However, I-I just can’t control my mouth!”
Swiftly at noon that day, news of Neil being slapped and the mysterious woman spending 500 million to buy the luminous pearl spread all across town.

“Good lord! That’s too outrageous!”
When Ivan returned home that night, he excitedly said, “Grandpa, father, I heard very shocking news this noon!”
“What news?” Old Master Taylor, who rarely ventured outside his home, asked curiously.
“I heard a veteran slapped Young Master Neil a few times repeatedly until his face was swollen. It’s far too insane!”
“Bloody hell, they’re not sure who that veteran was though? Man, the huge amount of guts he has! The Hugo family happens to be a second-class aristocratic family so wouldn’t he be disrespecting the Hugo family for slapping Neil’s face?”
While Ivan poured himself a glass of red wine, he spoke in a very ecstatic tone, “It’s my first time hearing of such a masculine man. He’s truly my idol!”
“A mere veteran was bold enough to slap Neil’s face and disrespect the Hugo family?” Theodore was a little unconvinced. He said, “Is your information reliable?”
“Should be, I heard it from a construction merchant. He said that man was extremely powerful since he’d almost made Neil cry just from being slapped.”
After Ivan took a huge gulp of red wine from his glass, he put it down and spoke emotionally, “The most important thing is that there was a luminous pearl auctioned off today. The pearl was no regular pearl and was as big as a ping-pong ball. Based on what the specialists have found out, not only can it aid one’s sleep just by placing it next to their bed, but it can even slow down a person’s metabolism to the point of essentially extending one’s lifespan a little!”
“Something that mythical exists in this world?” After Old Master Taylor heard that, he felt quite excited since a treasure like that would be most tempting to elderly people like him.
He was about to turn 70 and his body was getting weaker by the day. If he actually had a treasure that could extend his lifespan, he might actually live a year or two longer.
“Sigh, if we only learnt about this sooner. If we knew, we could go to the auction to bid for it. Then we could have placed it next to your grandpa’s pillow. Wouldn’t that be nice!” Theodore looked at Ivan as he lamented.
Ivan immediately cracked a bitter smile and said, “Father, it’s not only us who wanted a treasure like this. The other wealthy merchants, first and second-class aristocratic families, and heck, even the Drake family wanted it too! Man, the people from the auction house didn’t even bother to inform third- class aristocratic families like ours. They only privately contacted the first and second-class aristocratic families, including the Drake family!”
“It’s uncertain how some wealthy merchants got wind of the auction since they showed up too. However, they were only there to spectate because they can’t compete against those families!” Ivan
continued.
“Really? Since the Drake family went and had their eyes on a treasure like that, it should have most likely fallen into their hands, right?” Theodore said after pondering for a moment.
