No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

Chapter 151
“That’s right!” Upon noticing James was siding with her, Tanya rolled her eyes at her brother and said, “He was just answering a call. Perhaps he had some emergency or else he wouldn’t have just bolted so suddenly, right?”

When jackie arrived at the front door, he stood there for a brief moment before a black sports car sped toward him and stopped right where he was.

A beautiful woman wearing a hat and a pair of shades sat in the car. She was dressed quite fashionably.

“Master…” Lana called out excitedly when she saw jackie.

“What did you call me?” jackie’s expression dimmed as it seemed his apprentice’s memory was bad. Fortunately, no one else was there or his identity would have been exposed.

“Sorry, well, I was too happy. So…” Lana let out an awkward laugh. After that, she said, “Cough, cough. jackie, hurry up and get in, we’ll talk as we walk!”

“Alright!”

jackie immediately got into the car as it swiftly sped off.

“Good lord, isn’t that the bodyguard, jackie? He had a hot woman pick him up?”

“Yeah, and even in a sports car too!”

“Oh, this jackie fellow is far too mysterious even if he’s more powerful than Assistant Commander Harvey. Or else, Miss Tanya wouldn’t have hired him for 20 million dollars per month now, right? That’s way too high!”

“It seemed normal for this man to have a beautiful woman pick him up and be hired with a 20 million dollars salary though!”

A few bodyguards that were posted at the door started discussing amongst themselves upon witnessing what had occured.

…

“Why are you dressed like that? It’s the first time I’ve seen you wearing a skirt!” jackie felt helpless as he stared at the long legs next to him.

Lana had always dressed in military fatigues in front of him. Although she was an average-looking woman, jackie had never once viewed her as a woman.

Today however, Lana’s appearance surprised him.

Lana was wearing a plain-looking skirt that only covered half her thighs. She also wore a pair of earrings and had lipstick on. She looked very feminine. Not to mention, her legs were very white, so much that they seemed to glare at people’s eyes. However, perhaps it was due to her constant workout, that her leg muscles looked quite firm and seemed strong when viewed by others. A woman like her seemed quite exotic indeed.

“I’m still a woman, what’s so strange about me wearing a skirt? Besides, I’m already discharged and the military fatigues have all been returned. Do you understand? So, should I always act like a man, clad in full military fatigues, with a permanent bitter look on my face?”

While Lana was driving, she said, “Sigh, I’m bored to death these days. All kinds of major powers want so badly to meet me. They come to my manor every night to the point where I’m almost passing out from it! You know that I hate business interactions too so I didn’t even bother meeting them!”

“Wait, you didn’t meet them? How did you tell them that you wouldn’t be seeing them?” jackie teased her about it after giving it some thought.

“I hired a housekeeper and some servants! Besides, I’m not even short in cash now right, jackie?” Lana chuckled as she could not help herself from secretly glancing at jackie. She uttered silently in her heart that her master actually looked even more handsome without his military fatigues!

Chapter 152
“Yes, yes, yes. Now that we’re at peace, you guys should rest and loosen up a little!”

jackie cracked a gentle laugh and said, “Your Brother Abner sent me a text saying that he was too bored and gonna go on a vacation.”

“Really? When Brother Johnson returned, he was swarmed in his village by the people. I heard there are lots of people waiting to be autographed by him. Good lord, that scene though…” Lana laughed and said, “That’s right, jackie, what about you? Does your wife and the others know your identity yet?”

“Nope!” The hint of sweet smile could be seen on jackie’s face. No one had ever seen a smile like that back then. He said, “I don’t want to let them know about it for now. I’m afraid they might not be able to accept my identity if I dropped this bombshell on them. Not to mention, I wish to live a peaceful and undisturbed life.”

Lana lamented again after hearing jackie’s statement. She said, “Oh how I envy you. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have wanted this empty title or wished for it to be officially announced. Oh, how good would it be if I can live peacefully. Now, all of Daxia knows what all nine of us, the Gods of War, look like. If they didn’t, I wouldn’t even have to wear shades to go out!”

“I feel like you should be wearing a face mask. It’s not really safe just wearing a pair of shades.” jackie teased her as he looked at her appearance.

The truth was, when Lana’s car was parked in front of him, he actually did not recognize that it was his female disciple right away. It was only after he heard her voice that he realised it was her.

“Yeah, why didn’t I think of that? No, I have to put on a face mask later, especially in a crowded area. It’ll be bad if some random wealthy kid recognizes me!” Lana said immediately.

“Oh right, the place that you’ll be taking me to, what kind of place is it?” jackie asked after some thought.

“An auction house!” While Lana drove, she said, “I heard that someone has gotten their hands on a treasure. It’s a luminous pearl the size of a ping pong ball and is very special. If it’s placed on a bed frame, it can help in one sleep and there are even rumors that it can extend one’s life.”

“There’s an auction house in this city?” jackie frowned and said, “That luminous pearl is pretty big, right? We should take a look!”

“Yeah! Do you know what its base price is?” After thinking about it for a bit, jackie said, “We can bid for that thing since it’s the old master’s seventieth birthday soon and I’m still racking my head over what to get him!”

“Really? If you want to bid for it then do it!” Lana laughed. “The main purpose today is to bid for that thing. This auction house usually auctions famous paintings or antiques. Today’s luminous pearl is being auctioned privately and not many people know about it. They only informed some first and second-class aristocratic families and didn’t even bother with the third-class aristocratic families!”

“How did you know about it then?” jackie was surprised as he curiously asked.

“Best you don’t bring that up. Those random wealthy sons and all wanted to butter up to me. Did you know that as I was going out, I had just walked out the door when a few wealthy sons all came up to me with roses? These people don’t actually love me though, all they see is my connections and power!”

jackie said helplessly, “Best that you wear a face mask out later. Wear it like how the celebrities do or else you’ll be recognized.”

“Oh, how nice your life is. If no one knows who you are, you don’t have to worry about people bothering you when you’re walking on the streets!” Lana was envious as she looked at jackie beside her. She said, “You even had your long term plans all thought out!”

Chapter 153
“So in order for me to not expose my identity, you should bid for that luminous pearl in a moment!” jackie said while chuckling.

“Yes!” As she said that, Lana let out a bitter laugh.

At this moment, there were around a dozen bodyguards dressed in a black suits and standing by the auction house’s door. They looked full of spirit and stood tall. They seemed quite powerful.

“Are you both here for the auction?” One of the bodyguards asked when he spotted jackie and Lana.

“Of course!” Lana smiled as she casually took out a black card and waved it in front of him.

“Please, come in!” The moment the bodyguard noticed it, he immediately took a step back and allowed them to enter.

When they arrived at the auction, it was already crowded inside. Both jackie and Lana found a spot at the back by the corner and got seated.

‘What is that jackie fellow doing here?” It was at this moment that Young Master Clark, who was already seated and was waiting for the auction, noticed jackie.

He frowned and looked at Lana who was beside jackie before mumbling, “That’s not right, the woman next to him isn’t Selena. Moreover, who is that woman anyway? Her body isn’t too bad, and she looks quite sexy and elegant too!”

As he mumbled that, Ken’s eyes lit up and said, “This woman isn’t dressed normally. Those clothes are quite expensive too. Even the watch around her wrist is a luxury watch that costs a few million dollars. Could jackie be looking for a wealthy lady behind Selena’s back?”

Ken felt delighted at that thought. He originally felt quite hopeless but now, a ball of flame burned in his heart once again. Dan had advised him not to cross jackie. Moreover, even Marshal Dennis advised him the same thing that day. Although he was slightly confused, he still did not dare to act rashly or confront him directly. That was because of the fact that if both of them were afraid of jackie, it meant that jackie must have been quite a capable fellow. However, it would be much easier if there were problems in Selena’s and jackie’s relationship that would make Selena willingly leave jackie.

With that thought, he instinctively took out his cell phone and secretly took a picture of them both.

“Such a shame that they’re not acting intimate. It doesn’t prove anything if they don’t hold hands!”

“However, that woman is wearing a facemask along with a pair of shades. It’s obvious that they have some secrets between them that they’re unwilling to share. This wealthy lady might be afraid of her husband recognizing her, which prompted her to wear a facemask! I didn’t expect that jackie would be a sugar baby for money!” Ken chuckled by himself while staring at the picture.

“Oh, if it isn’t Young Master Clark? You came too! What are you doing here mumbling to yourself?”

After Micheal, who was a row behind, noticed Ken, he immediately sat next to him as he asked that question.

“You’re here too?” Ken was stunned and looked at jackie’s direction as he said, “I saw a familiar face!”

“How did he come in?” When Micheal looked toward the direction Ken was glancing toward, his expression instantly dimmed as he noticed jackie.

Chapter 154
”Yeah. I also feel weird about it. What is he doing here!”

Ken cracked a calm smile then said, “Young Master Wilson, look at the woman next to him. She’s obviously a rich woman! Do you know why she’s dressed the way she is, with a pair of shades and facemask?”

“She’s afraid of people recognizing her, of course!” Micheal chuckled coldly. He was no fool, so why did he even bother asking such a foolish question?

“Think about it, why is she afraid of being recognized by people?”

“Since she’s a wealthy lady, of course she’s afraid of her husband recognizing her!”

“Since she’s afraid of her husband recognizing her, what does that mean? Well, it means that her relationship with jackie isn’t that straightforward then!”

Ken analyzed everything in great detail.

“Yeah, I didn’t expect this jackie fellow to be such a f*ckboy. He kept going on and on about doing everything for Selena and yet, we didn’t expect him to cheat on Selena behind her back with a wealthy lady!”

Micheal clenched his fist, his gaze filled with anger.

If not because of jackie, how could Selena possibly be a mother now? She might have still been a young, beautiful, and innocent flower waiting to be picked by him!

After Micheal was done speaking, he also secretly took out his cellphone and took a picture of them. He said, “If Selena saw this picture, I’m not sure what she’ll think!”

However, there was something he did not expect. Both jackie and Lana noticed when he took the picture.

“ jackie, I think someone was taking our picture. I wouldn’t be recognized even after the mask and shades I decided to wear, right?” Lana whispered to jackie where she sat.

“No way!” jackie was stunned as he looked toward their direction. His expression immediately dimmed as he said, “It’s Ken from the Clark family and Micheal from the Wilson family. Both of them are my wife’s pursuers.”

“Really?” Lana looked at them and said, “I heard she’s a beauty and there are lots of wealthy pursuers after her. Even if she’s not pretty, her heart’s pretty. She must have suffered a lot for the five years that you’ve left, right?”

“Yeah. I’m truly sorry for their five years of suffering. Hence, I’ll make it up to them!” jackie let out a bitter laugh and said, “After so long, I’m planning to arrange for her an unforgettable wedding of a lifetime!”

“Oh, how envious I am of you two. You two are a perfect match and literally made for each other!” After Lana said that, she felt slightly envious in her heart since she felt that she had never seen a man more capable and outstanding than jackie.

“That’s weird, when have you learned how to butter me up?” jackie said with a gentle chuckle as he looked at Lana.

“I’m speaking the truth! What do you mean butter you up?” Lana cracked a bitter smile.

“Oh good lord, it’s that b*stard again!” It was at this moment that the Hugo family’s Young Master Neil walked through the front door with a bunch of his lackeys.

When he noticed jackie, he instantly and furiously clenched his fist. He could never forget the incident where he was beaten to a pulp by jackie for trying to flirt with Selena upon noticing her beauty as she rode the electric scooter.

Ever since then, he had employed some ruffians to take care of jackie along with him. However, he never expected them to be so useless as they stumbled away from jackie after getting beaten by him. On the other hand, he was violently slapped by jackie a few times. So much so, his entire face was swollen and he dared not return home that day. He was afraid of being teased by his family if they saw him in such a state. He did not expect to run into jackie, who was fully prepared to bid for the luminous pearl today.

Chapter 155
“Who is that, young master?” One of his lackeys looked at jackie. He had no clue who jackie was.

“That was the bastard who beat me up last time. Goddammit, I can’t let him get away this time!” Neil was incredibly furious as he told that to the man next to him.

“This is an auction house, young master. It’s not appropriate to fight here!”

The man immediately advised him. He then said, “Although I’m powerful, it would mean I’m disrespecting the boss of this auction house if I were to cause a scene here!”

“You?” Neil looked at the man in a suit. Since his father had hired a few bodyguards for him recently, he could not help but chuckle coldly and say, “You should forget about it. You’re no match for him. I employed about 20 ruffians back then and they were all still no match for him!”

After he was done saying that, he immediately continued, “Let’s do it this way, you can go out there and get me 50 to 60 people. Look for people under Old Roger. Although they are more expensive to hire, they are quite powerful. Some of them are also quite ruthless. Money isn’t a problem as long as I can take care of him!”

“But young master, we can’t actually fight here!” The middle-aged man had a helpless look on his face.

Neil was speechless for a moment before he furiously glared at the man. He said, “What’s wrong with my father to hire an idiot as my bodyguard? I wasn’t asking you to beat him up here, right? All I’m telling you to do is to look for some people who will wait for him to get out of the auction house so that we can take care of him somewhere else!”

The middle-aged man had a very bitter look on his face. However, all he could do was nod as he said, “Fine, fine. I’ll get to it now. As for the money though…”

“I’ll transfer it over to you right now but those ruffians shouldn’t cost that much. Give them a few ten thousand dollars to a million and that should be enough. I’ll transfer four million to you first.”

Neil swiftly took out his phone and transferred the cash over to him.

The man took a glance at jackie and silently thought just how unfortunate it was for him to have crossed the vengeful Neil Hugo. He would have rather jackie crossed anyone else but him.

It was only after the necessary arrangements were made that Neil looked for a seat on the side.

Aside from the Hugo family, there were also several more second-class aristocratic families who came to the auction.

However, the boss of the auction house did not even bother to inform the third-class aristocratic families like the Taylor family about it as a third-class aristocratic family would be unwilling to spend on a treasure like this even if they came.

Besides, this luminous pearl was a special pearl. It had the effects of extending one’s life and aiding one’s sleep. Therefore, it could be considered a very rare treasure.

Of course, aside from the second-class aristocratic families, even some wealthy merchants rushed over when they received news about it.

They were interested in witnessing such a treasure. Since a natural pearl the size of a ping-pong ball was something they had never heard of before, they were here to see it for themselves.

“The members of the Young family are here!”

Soon, a wave of cheers roared out since even the Young family, a first-class aristocratic family, came.

To make a surface-level power comparison, the most powerful family in the entire Eastfield was naturally the Drake family.

However, aside from the Drake family, there were four other families who had similar power as the Drake family. They were called the Four Major Families by commonfolk. These families were all considered first-class aristocratic families. The Young family was one of the Four Major Families.

After both jackie and Lana heard the announcement, they turned around to look over. In that instant, both their eyes lit up. A young lady with slightly curly long hair that was dressed in a long white dress and holding onto an adorable bag appeared. She walked inside with a faint smile on the edge of her lips. Beside that, the young lady was followed by a few bodyguards. With a single glance, anyone would feel incredibly refreshed just by seeing her.

“It’s the lady of the Young family, Rue Young!”

After a wealthy merchant noticed her, his eyes lit up as he said, “In this younger generation of beautiful women, this young lady here could easily compete with Selena Taylor!”

Chapter 156
“That depends! Some people would think that Selena looks the best and seems more feminine because when a woman reaches the age of 25 to 26, they look their most attractive!”

“However, Rue is an incredibly innocent young woman and besides, she’s only 22 and single. Ever since people heard about Selena’s marriage and how she already has a child, those young masters who pursued her back have now moved onto Rue!”

“Besides, I think they both were one of a kind beauties. Oh, that’s right, isn’t that Goddess of War currently in Eastfield? That woman is also a beauty as her body is incredible and seems very exotic. It’s such a shame that her status is too high and it would be virtually impossible to get her!”

Another wealthy merchant said that with a bitter smile after giving it some thought.

“Hey listen, someone’s calling you a beauty?” After jackie heard their discussions, he could not help himself from teasing Lana.

Lana raised her head pridefully and said, “Well of course, but what do they mean by exotic? I’m offended. Don’t I look like an innocent, young woman at first glance?”

At that moment however, Ken and Micheal had actually approached them.

“Oh my, isn’t this Selena’s husband, jackie?” Standing in front of jackie, Micheal intentionally exclaimed it loudly as if he was worried that people around would be unable to hear him.

Just as expected, many people, including Rue who had just arrived, turned to look at their direction after hearing him say that.

“That’s Selena’s man?”

“He’s not dead after serving in the military for five years? He’s already back?”

“There are lots of veterans returning recently. It seems like that takeout delivery boy isn’t dead yet and has followed them back!”

Instantly, sounds of discussions started filling the room.

“Michael, right? Young Master Ken is here as well, so this is such a coincidence indeed. What exactly is today, to have run into quite a few of my romantic rivals?” jackie chuckled but his expression soon dimmed. He said, “It’s not a good habit to have a crush on someone else’s wife. Not to mention, you guys are quite the clingy type even though she clearly has no feelings for either of you!”

“You…” Both Micheal and Ken clenched their fists at the same time. They were incredibly infuriated since this bastard had the audacity to call them clingy.

However, a woman like Selena was someone they were willing to be clingy for.

” jackie, you’re trying to intentionally infuriate me, aren’t you? I won’t fall for your tricks!”

It did not take long for Ken to smile again as he looked at Lana beside jackie. He then spoke with a smile, “Who’s this woman, jackie? You both intentionally chose to sit in such a secluded spot in a wide open hall. Don’t you dare tell me you don’t know her!”

“is it really that important to know if I know her? What does it have anything to do with you?” In jackie’s eyes, both of them were nothing more than annoying flies.

“Oh please, you don’t dare to say, right?”

jackie’s reply made them even more erratic. Even if jackie told them about their relationship, they would not dare validate it anyway. However, jackie was not being bold enough to explain anything about their relationship. Hence in their eyes, jackie was guilty and afraid of people finding out about how he was being a sugar baby to someone else.

“I have no reason to answer to you!” jackie chuckled coldly while feeling extremely dissatisfied.

Chapter 157
“Sigh, that woman might be the wife to some wealthy merchant, right? The watch around her wrist costs more than a million though. However, the only thing I’m curious about is why she’s wearing a mask and a pair of shades?” Ken sighed before saying, “So I believe even without me saying anything, anyone smart enough would be able to guess the relationship you two share, right?”

“There’s no way, right? jackie is actually Selena’s husband? That’s impossible, right? He has the audacity to look for other women when Selena is so stunning?”

When a middle-aged wealthy merchant heard that, he was shocked.

“Who knows what the reason is. Look at that wealthy lady, she’s not that old, plus her body is amazingly exotic. Man, for a wealthy lady like her, even if she doesn’t give me any money, I would also be willing to do other things with her! Let alone if she’s giving him money!”

Another elderly man could not hold himself back as he secretly gulped while looking at Lana’s sexy legs.

“Yeah, I would also be willing if I were him!”

A young master from a second-class aristocratic family beside them was also extremely excited. He said, “Even if I’m the one forking out money, I would also volunteer myself!”

“I’m not the wife of a wealthy merchant. Besides, why does it concern you as to what kind of relationship jackie and I share?” Lana’s expression turned bitter and her voice sounded extremely cold. This made everyone feel as if the entire room’s temperature had dropped by several degrees.

That strong statement had actually silenced many people there who were discussing them.

“Of course it concerns me!” Micheal finally spoke up at that moment and said, “That statement proves that jackie is cheating on his wife to be a sugar baby. if he’s really that capable, we wouldn’t make fun of him if he’s able to find a few more women to accompany him. The unfortunate thing is, however, wouldn’t a man feel ashamed to be a sugar baby?”

“That’s right, he’s even a veteran! How could he sink so low upon returning home to look for a wealthy lady? Is it because he could no longer bear the military life? It’s such an embarrassment to veterans!” Ken and Michael were insulting him as if singing a duet.

“If you guys don’t shut up, believe me that I’ll end you both!” Lana could no longer hold her anger back since she felt extremely insulted for a God of War to be labeled a sugar mommy.

Not to mention, what offended her most was that these imbeciles were actually insulting the Supreme Warrior, the most respected individual in all of Daxia, by calling him a sugar baby. They should have known that he was Lana’s master. Although she could bear being insulted, she could never allow her master to suffer the same fate!

“Look, she’s getting mad now, isn’t she? Were we right then? Look around you, this is an auction house and you wouldn’t dare beat someone up in a public place, right?”

Ken had a smug look on his face as he said, “Come on then, you’re a woman and yet you wish to assault us? Do you actually think that I, Young Master Ken, am an incompetent match against a woman?”

Lana immediately stood up and the instant she clenched her fist, an immensely menacing aura emanated from her body. Although such a menacing aura was invisible. However, it was still very intimidating as it unknowingly startled both Ken and Micheal to take a step back.

Upon noticing a fight was about to break out, jackie grabbed Lana’s wrist and said, “This is an auction house. We are here for the auction and besides, if we butt heads with trash like them, it’d be embarrassing to our status!” jackie’s expression was extremely calm.

“Good point!” It was only then that Lana calmed down and got seated again.

They were lucky that this was not a battlefield because if it was, those trash in front of them would have already been dead a hundred times over.

“keep pretending then. I believe you both know the consequences of assaulting us and cannot bear it!” Michael chuckled before telling jackie, “Say jackie, what do you think will happen if we tell your wife about you meeting a wealthy lady here? What would she think?”

Chapter 158
“you both sure know how to worry now, don’t you!” jackie chuckled then told Ken, “Ken, do you know there’s a saying ‘know your place’? You should really learn from it. I believe Dennis had reminded you about it previously when you tried to forcefully demolish our home, right? Are you sure…you still want to go against me?”

After Ken heard that threat, his expression instantly dimmed as he started to worry. Due to how powerful jackie was, not even their Prime Fighter Dan would be a match for him if he actually was offended and was out for his Clark family’s blood. That would be very bad for them!

It was only with that thought that he said, “I-I won’t go against you or out my way to make things difficult for you. However, I’m only here to offer you a word of advice. Selena’s so nice to you and yet you have the audacity to do this for money…”

“Young Master Ken, I somehow feel like you’re slightly afraid of him?” Micheal was no fool and was instantly able to notice Ken’s anxious behavior. He frowned.

“Are you kidding? Me, Young Master Ken, is afraid of him? Oh please, he’s nothing but a takeout delivery boy. How could I possibly be afraid of him when he’s only been in the military for a few years?” Ken immediately slapped his chest in a forceful show of courage.

“Fair point! Let’s go, I’m actually quite interested to see how you would explain this to Selena once the truth gets out.” After Micheal said that, he left with Ken.

Besides, their main purpose here was to see if jackie had actually become a sugar baby for money.

From the earlier situation when that wealthy lady got agitated, it was evident enough that their relationship was not that straightforward. This alone was enough for them.

“That’s Selena’s husband?” Rue took a look at jackie and frowned as well. She said in a soft tone, “I didn’t expect him to do such a thing for money!”

After a moment, three more first-class aristocratic families had arrived as well.

They were the Mont family’s young master, Grayson Mont, a fat lady from the George family, Sharon George, and the master of the Roy family, Robert Roy.

After all three major families arrived, another round of cheers and applause roared from the crowd.

The members of the Drake family arrived soon after. This time it was Timothy who came with a few bodyguards from the Drake family.

After Timothy arrived, it did not take long for him to notice jackie. His expression instantly turned bitter. He said, “Why did he come here? Who’s that woman next to him? He had the audacity to not take his bodyguard job seriously and instead come over for a date?”

Timothy looked at jackie from a distance. He felt very displeased in his heart. However, he soon decided to pretend not to see him and walked alongside the members of the Four Major Families as they got seated in the front most seats which were intentionally reserved for them.

After a few minutes went by, an elderly man with a short and quirky hairstyle walked up the auction stage with a smile.

“What a crowd we have here today. Even some wealthy merchants who were uninformed by us of this event are also present here today!”

The elderly man glanced down the stage and spoke with a smile, “Let me start with an introduction, I’m today’s supervisor…”

After the introduction was over, the elderly man said, “There is only one item we’ll be auctioning off today and it is none other than a luminous pearl we had previously obtained. This item here is a precious treasure indeed. Not only is it the size of a ping-pong ball, it has the effect of extending one’s lifespan and if it’s placed near one’s bed, it will aid their sleep.”

“Alright already! Just tell us how much the base value is! Everyone here is very busy!” The Mont family’s young master seemed quite impatient as he bluntly said that.

“Yeah! I still have to go for lunch soon!” Sharon, who had an extremely fat face, mumbled her words unclearly while munching on some popcorn. She was obviously a heavy eater. Judging from the size of her body, she might have weighed around 240 pounds.

Chapter 159
Grayson looked at the fat lady next to him and was instantly speechless. This woman was really getting fatter. If this kept going, she would have a hard time getting married.

However, when he turned around to look at Rue on the other side, he felt like his mood had instantly recovered. It seemed Rue was quite the eye candy since she looked prettier the longer he stared at her.

“alright then. The base value of this object starts at 10 million! Of course its value far exceeds 10 million dollars and I believe everyone here knows it. Therefore, our rule for incremental bidding is that it cannot be lower than a million!”

The old man chuckled on the stage and hammered his gavel down immediately as he continued, “This auction will officially begin now. This treasure belongs to the highest bidder!”

“A million? Even I’m embarrassed to call out a million dollars!”

A wealthy merchant immediately stood up and said, “This item can slow down a person’s metabolism slightly, so it has an effect of extending a person’s lifespan. If this item is placed beside a pillow for an extended period of time, extending a person’s life by two to three extra years shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

After he was done speaking, he raised his hand immediately and said, “I’ll offer 20 million dollars!”

As jackie stared at the object from a distance, he knew for sure that this item could aid one’s sleep. However, he was not too sure about its effect of extending one’s lifespan.

“Can it really extend a person’s lifespan?” Lana, who was watching from the side, looked at jackie before asking that question.

“I’m not sure but who cares? It’s still a treasure! I have to get it!” jackie said after giving it some thought.

“Alright then. Since I haven’t given you a gift yet, I’ll give this to you then!” Lana nodded since she knew jackie did not wish to expose his identity. As such, it seemed that she had to be the one to buy it for jackie.

“20 million? I’ll raise it to 30 million!” After Sharon was done eating her popcorn, she wiped her hand with a tissue before raising her hand and giggling as she spoke.

“Oh no, it seems that the George family also has their eyes on it. At this rate, it’ll be impossible for anyone who wanted to make this a simple purchase!”

“Yeah. Since everyone is raising it by 10 million, this really isn’t an auction meant for us to participate!”

A few wealthy merchants who were here to spectate could only crack a bitter smile as their initial intentions were completely shattered as they saw how the situation was being played out.

“Alright! Miss Sharon truly knows her stuff. The offer price is now at 30 million, is there anyone who wants to bid?”

The elderly man chuckled and nodded his head on stage. They estimated that this pearl would be valued at two hundred million dollars!

That was because this pearl was actually worth that much.

“I will. I’ll raise it to 40 million!” Ken exclaimed.

“Young Master Ken, I’d stand by you if this was anything else. However, I too, have my eye on this toy!” Micheal chuckled and immediately raised his hand and said, “I’ll raise it to 50 million!”

After he was done, he turned to look at jackie and secretly muttered in his heart, “If I win the bid for this toy and give it to his wife, I refuse to believe that she’ll still stay loyal to him for a gift this expensive! Not to mention, I’ll show her the picture of him and that wealthy lady. Perhaps, in a fit of rage, she’ll impulsively cheat on you!”

With that thought, Micheal silently gulped. Selena had also impulsively given birth to Kylie with jackie in a fit of rage, right?

Chapter 160
“Why don’t you make a bid for me later? Just raise a random number. People will assume you’re my lackey. That way, your identity won’t be exposed!” Lana said that to jackie after some thought.

jackie nodded and said, “Sure, I want to mess with those two anyway!”

After he said that, jackie immediately raised his hand and said, “51 million!”

In that instant, everyone turned to look at him since the brat had only raised it by a million.

Even Lana was embarrassed by him because everyone else was raising the bid by multiples of 10 million and this man had disrupted the rhythm by only raising it by a million.

“Wow, jackie, I didn’t expect that wealthy lady of yours to be quite rich herself. She’s actually taking part in the auction!”

Michael was stunned. He then spoke with a smile, “Us members of wealthy families have already begun competing amongst ourselves. Therefore, you merchants should just forget about it. Just keep your money and stick to investments, alright!”

“Raising the bid in multiples of a million? It seems they couldn’t bear to part with their money?”

Immediately, Neil started chuckling. He then raised his hand and said, “I’ll raise to sixty million! You can ignore jackie’s bid now!”

After hearing that statement, the expressions of many wealthy merchants grew bitter. It was already obvious for them that they would be unable to snatch the item. Although they could still compete now, they would soon be unable to withstand the pressure from the major families.

Besides, even if they fought desperately to snatch the item, would this not offend them? That was something they needed to consider seriously.

“Young Master Neil, are you certain you’ll be able to ignore my bid price? You truly underestimate my friend here!” jackie chuckled and bluntly exclaimed, “A hundred million!”

“One-one hundred million?” The edge of Neil’s mouth twitched violently. Was this guy just not willing to part with his money earlier? How could he casually raise the value by so much?

“This guy showed his hand without beating around the bush!”

The Mont family’s Grayson looked at jackie in surprise. He exclaimed, “This guy sure is interesting!”

Ken leaned closer to Micheal’s side and said, “Young Master Michael, somehow something feels very off to me. How could that wealthy lady be so rich? There’re very few wealthy merchants who could so casually offer up a hundred million, let alone a girl. If this woman was using her husband’s money, it would be impossible for her to offer a hundred million dollars with so little regard. At the very least, she’ll need her man’s permission to do so, right? Could this be her own money? Is she a female entrepreneur? This seems to be the only reason that makes sense if she can spend that kind of money in such a confident manner.”

Micheal also had a puzzled look as he said, “However, don’t we know pretty much every wealthy woman in Eastfield? How could I have absolutely no recollection of anyone who could so casually fork out a hundred million dollars and let alone, at such a young age? I believe she’s a secret mistress to some major wealthy man or else, it would be impossible for me to not know her.”

“this will definitely put a stop to regular merchants bidding now!” A wealthy merchant who had originally intended to offer a 70 million bid let out a bitter laugh. He had now completely given up.

However, the stunt had made many people skeptical of Lana’s identity. Who exactly was she to make such a ruthless offer!

“Oh my, you’re rich, you handsome man!” Sharon had not paid much attention to jackie earlier. However, when she turned to look at him, she gulped as she thought about just how handsome he was. He radiated masculinity and had the effect of making people fall in love with him at first sight.

As he noticed a fat woman gulping while staring at him, jackie’s heart shuddered as he said, “It’s not me who’s rich, I’m merely helping my friend next to me to bid!”

“How handsome!” Sharon winked at him and said in her charmed state, “Hey handsome, do you want me to bid for that item for you and give it to you to show you my feelings?”

jackie chuckled at that remark as he said, “Sorry, I’m not interested!”

Chapter 161
“Pfft! You’re no fun!” Sharon rolled her eyes at jackie, 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 jackie 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.”

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 jackie.

“ jackie, 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 jackie 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 jackie 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 jackie’s 300 million dollars offer, this felt like a blatant insult to him.

jackie 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.
