After Christopher came over, Curtis came up with a series of plots against Sean after a brief talk with Christopher.
Victory Auction House was just the beginning.
Knowing how terrifyingly capable Sean was, Curtis could not strike rashly. He had used the Lake family’s connections to plan everything, only waiting for Sean to fall into his traps.
“Come on, it’s time for the auction to begin. Come with me to meet my old friend,” Curtis said with a smile instead of answering Christopher’s question.
After saying that, favonovel.com walked out of the room with his two bodyguards, regardless of Christopher’s reaction.
Seeing this, Christopher felt a little resentful. After all, favonovel.com was obviously older. Christopher made the Tatum family a vassal family of the Lake family because Christopher was on good terms with Curtis’ grandfather.
As Curtis’ grandfather passed away, the Tatum family had become less important in the Lake family. Now, even a young man like Curtis could disregard Christopher, who already had one foot in the grave.
However, Christopher also knew his place, so favonovel.com could only silently put away his frustration and anger and got up to follow Curtis’ footsteps.
About a dozen people were lining up at Ocean Hotel’s entrance, each holding a piece of paper the size of a palm.
“Mr. Lennon, here’s our invitation!” Zander said as favonovel.com handed Sean a piece of paper.
Sean nodded slightly and stood silently behind the dozen people, waiting in line for Victory Auction House’s staff at the hotel entrance to check whether the invitation in their hands was genuine.
Everyone present was famous in Ocean City. No matter what events they attended, they did not have to line up at the entrance. However, as one of the top three auction houses in the country, Victory Auction House could disregard Ocean City’s dignitaries.
The Ocean City dignitaries present also understood their differences with Victory Auction House, and all lined up without any dissatisfaction.
“Hey, I heard there’s an artifact that could cause an uproar in the entire Dragon Kingdom at the auction today.”
“I’ve heard of it too, but forget about the artifact. They’re only showing it, not auctioning it off!”
“Haha, although Ocean City is developing well, it’s nothing in the entire Dragon Kingdom. As long as Victory Auction House isn’t stupid, an artifact that could stir up the entire Dragon Kingdom will never be put up for auction in Ocean City.”
“Well said. If such a precious thing is put up for auction in Janestown, all the dignitaries in Dragon Kingdom will flock to it!”
The people in line whispered about the artifact that could apparently stir up the entire Dragon Kingdom, but no one knew what it was.
Zander whispered, “Mr. Lennon, could Victory Auction House’s sudden move to Ocean City have something to do with this artifact?”
“Haha, Victory Auction House is smart. They’re known for being profit-minded. How could they have held the auction in Ocean City if Ocean City didn’t have something that tempted him?” Sean said with a chuckle.
After listening to these people’s conversations, Sean already understood many things.
The artifacts these people were talking about was probably the one Jadon said the Quartz family owned. The artifact that should be in the hands of the Quartz family was suddenly in the hands of Victory Auction House.
There must have been some changes that even the head of the Quartz family, Jadon, did not know.
