Xyla Quest stood up with a faint smile. "Yeah..."

"And he is...?" Christopher Lancelot asked as he glanced at Jeremy Quest, who was sitting across from Xyla.

"He's my father," answered Xyla.

Upon hearing that, Christopher immediately reached out his hand to Jeremy. "Hello, Uncle. I'm Christopher Lancelot."

Jeremy quickly rose to his feet and gripped Christopher's hand, his eyes fixed thoughtfully upon the man's face.

He remembered hearing the man's name from his business partners before. If he was not mistaken, the man in front of him was a very successful businessman in Country Y. Besides having a large company and a huge market, he was well-connected too. Nonetheless, he was also a very powerful gangster in the gang.

Jeremy smiled politely while shaking his hand. "Nice to meet you."

"I'll leave you guys alone first... Let's have a short chat after the auction is over." Christopher behaved decently.

Jeremy nodded in response.

With that, Christopher walked away from the two of them and sat at the next table, his long yet slender legs comfortably crossed. His fingers were zippily tapping the tabletop as he watched the auctioneer introducing the event today on the stage.

The man sat facing Xyla. Whenever Xyla raised her head, his delicate jawline and his sexy Adam's apple would hove into her view.
