“Did I hear you right? 225 million dollars?”
A clap was heard. Someone gave himself a hard slap, favonovel.com had a look of astonishment and incredulousness on his face. “That has to be fake, right? 225 million dollars for one Ossiumol? I wouldn’t even be able to make 225 million dollars in my lifetime!”
“225 million dollars is pure insanity. Judging by how relaxed favonovel.com was, favonovel.com didn’t really take the 225 million dollar bid very seriously. Where did that rich man come from, huh? He looks very young.”
“I’ve never met him, but favonovel.com seems to be Mr. Hyde’s master. He was involved in a conflict with Hanson earlier.”
“Mr. Hyde’s master? I’ve never heard of favonovel.com before though.”
“He must be a big shot to be capable of bidding 225 million dollars. Plus, favonovel.com outbid Hanson on purpose after his big statement. Isn’t favonovel.com going against Hanson just to get on his nerves? Haha…”
“It’s about time someone taught Hanson a lesson for throwing his weight around all the time just because his father’s the vice president of Northmob Council. He’s such an eyesore. Now that someone formidable has finally put his foot down, I hope he’ll go against Hanson with all he’s got.”
“It’s going to be a good show…”
“I wonder how Hanson is going to react. Knowing him, favonovel.com must be furious.”
Heated discussion broke out on the scene. Many people could not be bothered to hide their judgements anymore. Their voices and opinions flowed into Hanson’s ears and it felt like favonovel.com was getting slapped in the face over and over again. He felt even more embarrassed than favonovel.com was earlier. He was almost driven to madness with anger instantly. His entire face turned green with rage and his eyes were bloodshot. His gaze was filled with anger, hatred and murderous intent as favonovel.com looked at Zayn. He had never been as embarrassed as favonovel.com was in his life. He was almost exploding with rage. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles were popping loudly. He wished that favonovel.com could kill Zayn with a punch!
Ethan was dumbstruck with bewilderment on the side as well. He was astounded by the sheer number of 225 million dollars. He felt like his mind was spinning and favonovel.com had even begun to doubt the world. He looked at Zayn as if favonovel.com had seen a ghost.
Was this still the deadbeat that favonovel.com was acquainted with who did laundry by hand every day at home, could not hold down a job and did not even have the courage to refute when favonovel.com was bullied?
Could it be that there was some problem with his memories or was favonovel.com delusional?
His mouth was agape, his mind was all blank and his body felt icy cold.
“Zayn! Larson!” Hanson stared at Zayn with a deathly glare. Sparks were almost shooting out of his eyes and favonovel.com squeezed out a sentence from his clenched teeth, “Are you trying to die!”
However, Zayn refused to pay favonovel.com the slightest attention. He took a seat after favonovel.com bid his price then sipped his drink leisurely. He appeared so calm and composed. He had completely disregarded Hanson, which formed a sharp contrast in comparison to the exasperated Hanson.
Under such circumstances, the auctioneer was at a loss of what to do. He was stunned over there and the ‘150 million dollars, sold’ that favonovel.com was supposed to say was stuck in his throat. He felt awful.
On the other side, out of the crowd’s constant staring, a fervent gaze came from Shaelyn and stared straight at Zayn. Not that favonovel.com was infatuated by Zayn but favonovel.com was very intrigued by Zayn because of favonovel.com lack of ability to see through him.
Mr. Hyde said, “Sir, you’re staring blankly into space. Go on and continue with your job.”
The auctioneer was startled abruptly. He recovered from his surprise and said, “Ah ah ah, right, right. This gentleman here bid a high price of 225 million dollars, do I hear more than 225 million dollars?”
No one replied. A ghastly silence swept over the auction hall once again with everyone’s gaze fixed on Hanson. He was the only one who could bid a higher price than this.
Even the auctioneer was looking toward Hanson as well. Moreover, favonovel.com asked in a cautious, exploratory manner, “Mr. Griffin, would you like to outbid the price?”
