Chapter 1060: Scion of the Steeles


    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios


    What Lucas said immediately shocked the crowd in the room!


    Like a megarich tycoon, he raised his bid by a hundred and fifty million dors at once!


    Even though many people present were from wealthy families worth billions of dors, they still found it unbearable.


    It was 150 million dors, not 150 thousand. They couldn’t throw away so much casually!


    Since Lucas had said his next bid, Alexander would have to bid more than 1.1 billion dors topete with him!


    !!


    Spending over 1.1 billion dors on a plot ofnd with a starting price of only 400 million dors was already crazy enough!


    Alexander looked extremely gloomy. He originally expected that he would be able to buy thend for 850 million dors. If he couldn’t bid higher, the Steeles would lose out on thend!


    He would have left the auction without any harvest, so his family would definitely be upset with him!


    Gritting his teeth with all his might, Alexander yelled, “1.1 billion dors!”


    1.1 billion dors!


    This price shocked countless people.


    It showed that the Steeles were indeed eager to acquire this plot ofnd.


    “1.2 billion dors!”


    But the next second, Lucas bid again without hesitation and increased it by 100 million dors!


    “Oh my god! Where is that young man from?! He increases his bid by 100 million dors. This is terrifying!”


    “He doesn’t treat money like money at all. Even the scions of the eight top families of DC can’tpare to his spendthrift aura!”


    “Do you think he has a grudge against the Steeles? Alexander is participating in the auction on behalf of the Steeles, and the rest of us withdrew. But this young man not only dares topete with the Steeles, he even has such an aggressive attitude. He’s undermining Alexander without saving him any pride at all!”


    ...


    The people in the auction hall were discussing with each other.


    At this moment, Alexander looked extremely sullen, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.


    As the scion of the Steeles, Alexander had speciallye to participate in thend auction on behalf of the family.


    In his opinion, he had already made a valuation of the expected value of thend in the eastern suburbs. If he could buy thisnd at a price of 850 million dors, it was just right. In the future ns and operations of the Steels, this piece ofnd would have at least a few hundred million dors in profit.


    But Lucas had raised the price of the plot ofnd to an outrageous 1.2 billion dors!


    If he bought the plot ofnd at this price, there would be almost no profit at all. What would the Steeles want it for?


    The more terrifying thing was that Alexander didn’t know what Lucas’s bottom line for his bid was.


    It would bepletely pointless to continuepeting with him for thisnd.


    Alexander sulked without saying anything else.


    Lucas looked at the auctioneer, who was dumbfounded on the stage, and said, “If no one bids again, this plot ofnd is mine, right?”


    The beautiful auctioneer returned to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream and quickly said, “This gentleman over here has bid 1.2 billion dors for Land No. 23! Is there any higher bid than this?”


    It was naturally silent at the venue.


    “In that case, 1.2 billion, going once!


    “1.2 billion, going twice!


    “1.2 billion, going thrice!


    “Sold!”


    The auctioneer’s face turned red with excitement as she clutched her chest and said, “Let’s congratte this gentleman for sessfully buying the finale plot ofnd of today’s auction for a price of 1.2 billion dors! Congrattions!


    “This marks the end of today’s auction. Thank you all for your participation!”


    Everyone apuded.


    But many people stared at Lucas with strange gazes while apuding superficially.


    But Lucas didn’t care. Since he already got what he wanted and the auction was over, Flynn would naturally handle the rest of the procedures.


    Lucas and Cheyenne got up to leave. At this moment, Alexander walked over and stretched his hand out gracefully. “Hello! I’m Alexander Steele. It’s a pleasure to meet you!”


    Alexander had been beaten by Lucas and Cheyenne twice, but he didn’t show a single trace of anger at all. Instead, he was very amicable, which made it hard for Lucas to feel ill feelings for him.


    Since Alexander had taken the initiative to greet them, Lucas didn’t reject and politely shook his hand.


    “Lucas Gray. Nice to meet you.”


    But after they shook hands, Lucas raised his brows in surprise.


    Reason being, Alexander suddenly gripped Lucas’s arm tightly, seemingly wanting to make him feel pain.


    An ordinary person would have cried out in pain and behaved rudely in this situation.


    But Lucas obviously wasn’t an ordinary person.


    Alexander’s grip strength was peanuts to Lucas!


    A strange smile appeared on Lucas’s lips, and there were no changes in his expression at all. But there was a sudden force on his hand.


    Alexander had a martial arts background. And as the scion of the Steeles, he had been taught by several famous martial arts masters since he was a child. Moreover, he had a ir for martial arts, so he was practically the best among the younger generation.


    Although he still seemed calm andposed, he was naturally upset that both plots ofnd he wanted had been snatched from him.


    So when he shook hands with Lucas, he suddenly tightened his grip, wanting to teach him a small lesson.


    But Alexander never expected that an incredibly powerful force would suddenly spread from Lucas’s fingers, almost crushing his!


    Alexander’s expression changed greatly as his face turned pale and a sense of horror surged in his heart involuntarily. He almost couldn’t stop himself from crying out in pain.


    He didn’t expect this harmless-looking young man in front of him to have so much hidden strength!


    His strength was simply insignificantpared to Lucas’s. They were worlds apart!


    Alexander tried his best to bear with the pain and said with a pale face, “Mr. Gray, you’re really too enthusiastic!”


    He looked at their hands, his face somewhat distorted because of the pain that he was enduring.


    “Is that so? I seem to beckingpared to you, Mr. Steele,” Lucas said ambiguously before letting go.


    Alexander immediately heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had been spared from death. He withdrew his hand that had been squeezed to the point of turning red.


    At the side, Cheyenne didn’t notice the secret confrontation between the two of them. She merely felt that something was strange with the way they were talking.


    After Alexander withdrew his hand, he was still smiling as he extended an invitation to Lucas. “Mr. Gray, I would like to invite you for a meal so we can get to know each other better. What do you think, Mr. Gray?”
