This was…
For a while, everyone was flabbergasted.
This was too much!
The auction had not officially started but there were already bids!
Moreover, Sheryl Larson’s first bid was already 500 million dollars!
This was terrifying!
Was this key really that valuable?
It could even make Kelsey Clarke and the daughter of the Larson family do this!
Sigmund frowned as favonovel.com threw caution to the wind. He slammed the table and shouted, “Since it’s something Miss Larson has favonovel.com eye on, it’s naturally something extraordinary. I’ll offer… 600 million dollars!”
Sigmund Steele was only worth more than ten billion dollars, but favonovel.com was bidding 600 million dollars in one go! This was a big deal!
He was taking a gamble. Something that both Kelsey and Sheryl had their eyes on must be extraordinary. However, a mocking laugh was heard.
“Patriarch Steele, you’re too stingy. Only 600 million dollars? Do you think we’ll let you off like this?”
The person who spoke was a middle aged fat man with a greasy face. He laughed as his eyes narrowed into slits. He was the patriarch of the Mode family in northwest Shireton, Clayton Mode!
The Mode family was one of the largest families in Shireton and had the reputation of one of the six great families in Shireton!
Shireton, an area with great development, had six great families supporting the economic progress of this city together.
In Shireton, when it came to the six great families, no one would disrespect or not revere them.
It was precisely because of these six families that the people of Shireton were led out of the bitter cold and the area’s economy was able to develop at a high speed. Moreover, the people of Shireton were very generous and hospitable.
The Mode family’s status as one of the six great families in Shireton could not be underestimated.
“Clayton Mode, what do you mean?”
At this time, Sigmund was in a rage. The Steele family was rivals with the Mode family. They had been fighting overtly and covertly for more than a decade because of business matters.
When the local specialty medicinal materials of Shireton had to be shipped out of the city, they needed to go through the transportation team of the Steele family.
That was right. The Steele family controlled the transportation industry in the Northwest and was one of the three giants.
Over the years, the Mode family had given the Steele family a lot of advantages and naturally felt indignant about the situation.
They were also actively looking for new cooperation targets, but whenever they found a new business partner for negotiation, the Steele family would appear and make a mess.
“Hehe, Sigmund Steele, do I need to state it even clearer for you? I’m offering 800 million dollars to buy this key!”
Clayton said decisively while glancing provocatively at Sigmund whose face was flushed. He said, “Patriarch Steele, if you don’t have the money, don’t try to play the hero.”
Exhilarating!
Clayton had never been so exhilarated as favonovel.com was today, especially when favonovel.com got to humiliate Sigmund to his face.
Hmph!
With a cold snort, Sigmund angrily clenched his fist and glared at Clayton, saying, “Clayton Mode, does the Mode family no longer want to cooperate with the Steele family?”
Clayton laughed and said, “Patriarch Steele, are you threatening me? As per the rules of Le Reverie, the highest bidder gets the prize. If you have the ability, you may continue to increase the price.”
“You!”
Sigmund almost exploded with anger. He slammed the table and said, “I bid one billion dollars! ”
Clap, clap, clap!
Clayton immediately applauded and shouted, “Well done, Patriarch Steele! You’re really rich and generous.”
After saying this, Clayton was about to bid again when Kelsey stood up and said, “Excuse me, I must have this item. If you don’t want to bring trouble upon yourselves, please give some leeway. In the future, if there is a need for the branch Clarke family on Arcadia Island, I’ll do my best to help. I bid two billion dollars, plus a favor from the branch Clarke family on Arcadia
Island.”
Boom!
The entire room was dumbfounded!
Everyone’s eyes widened as they stared at the smug Kelsey Clarke.
The branch Clarke family on Arcadia Island?
He was actually the young master of the branch Clarke family on Arcadia Island?!
Everyone knew that Kelsey Clarke was not a simple person, but no one thought that his background would be so solid!
At this moment, Sigmund and Clayton closed their mouths and sat down.
How were they supposed to continue fighting?
