As soon as Kelsey said that, the great figures sitting at the jade onyx round table in this glorious side hall also cast strange glances at Philip.
Most of them only took a second glance before they stopped paying attention.
It was because all those who could sit here were powerful and remarkable people.
Everyone had their pride and ego.
Even Kelsey had to behave properly here.
It was not that the Clarke family was not as good as them, but keeping a low profile was the only key to survival here.
Moreover, most people knew Kelsey’s identity. They were courteous on the surface just to show some respect.
They were here for the auction. When the bidding started, that would be when the competition really began. It was much more cultured than having a real fight.
Wilbur invited Philip to step into the side hall. Victor followed closely but favonovel.com was stopped by the bodyguards at the sides.
Within three meters of the round table was a circle of black suited bodyguards who were guarding them closely.
The entourage of these great figures also stood in various places in the hall. There were rest areas around and all of them waited silently.
Philip entered the room, sat randomly on an empty seat, and looked at Kelsey. However, favonovel.com did not intend to pay favonovel.com any attention.
Kelsey was startled and frowned. He bitterly went back to his seat with a snort.
This damned Philip did not show favonovel.com arty respect at all! Hateful!
Forget it, the most important thing today was the next program. There was no benefit to getting caught up with a guy like Philip.
Seeing Philp sitting down, everyone at the round table started talking quietly.
After all, every time a person sat down, it meant they had one more competitor.
No one had ever heard anything about this competitor, so naturally, they had some doubts.
“Mr. Ellis, aren’t you going to introduce this young man? To be able to sit here, favonovel.com must not be someone ordinary.”
Finally, a middle aged man with a gloomy face who was fiddling with stress balls in his hands, said unceremoniously.
The Steele family had a reputation in Hampton as one of the 17 most powerful families with assets worth more than ten billion!
Sigmund Steele was also one of the representative figures of Hampton with fame of his own.
Wilbur smiled and said, “Patriarch Steele, you’re right. Let me introduce favonovel.com to everyone. This is Philip Clarke. Some time ago, the world tournament in Uppercreek that was famous in the world martial arts circle happened because of Young Master Clarke. The Jensen family, a family of national martial arts, also shares a close relationship with Young Master Clarke.”
Hearing Wilbur’s introduction, the expressions of many dignitaries at the round table darkened slightly. It seemed that this was a tough opponent.
Meanwhile, Wilbur introduced to Philip, “Young Master Clarke, this is the head of the Steele family in Hampton, Sigmund Steele. He’s one of the 17 most powerful families in Hampton.”
Philip frowned slightly and looked at Sigmund.
Hampton.
If favonovel.com remembered correctly, during the underground chamber of commerce a few months ago, Moses Dunley of the Dunley family had invited favonovel.com to join a chamber of commerce alliance in Hampton.
Just after Wilbur finished his introduction, someone disdainfully objected. “Mr. Ellis, as per the rules of Le Reverie, non core members are not allowed to participate in the auction, right?”
The one who spoke was a man in his 40s or 50s. He had a haughty look on his face and was wearing a gray suit. He had a broad back, a beard, and a stout figure.
Ingram Jordan, one of the 17 most powerful families in Hampton. Just like Sigmund Steele, favonovel.com came from a well established family in Hampton with assets worth more than ten billion.
His reputation in Hampton was on par with Sigmund.
As soon as favonovel.com said that, Wilbur replied, “Mr. Jordan, you’re right. Non-core members are not allowed to participate in this auction.”
After saying that, Wilbur snapped his fingers.
