Chapter 429 429: The
The Clarence Auction
While other cities of Country Y were relatively at peace, getting ready for a night's rest, Clarence Auction House was alive with lights and chatter. Standing tall under the golden lights, its environment pulsated with energy.
Luxury cars rolled to a stop one after the other outside the grand building. Reporters and photographers clustered near the red-carpet walkway, their cameras flashing, hoping to capture the arrivals of tonight's most influential guests.
Bouncers in tailored black suits stood at strategic points, their stern gazes sweeping across the growing crowd, ensuring both order and security.
A sleek black car slowly pulled up at the end of the red carpet, a security man stepped forward to open the door.

Ethan followed closely behind. Davis gave him a brief glance, then set his focus straight ahead. With steady, confident strides, he mounted the red carpet.
His face expressionless, his gaze cold and focused on the door as he walked.
The reporters erupted instantly. The controlled line broke as they surged forward, their microphones thrust out, cameras flashing in blinding sequence as they fired a series of questions at him.

Is there an item that caught your eyes?
Should we expect the Allen Group planning on its expansion again?
Are you interested in Meredith Island or the rare blue diamond necklace?
The questions tumbled over one another, sharp and eager. But Davis only offered a small, enigmatic smile.
