Chapter 170


    "Good lord! That''s too outrageous!”


    When Ivan returned home that night, he excitedly said, "Grandpa, father, I heard very shocking news


    this noon!"


    "What news?" Old Master Taylor, who rarely ventured outside his home, asked curiously.


    "I heard a veteran pped Young Master Neil a few times repeatedly until his face was swollen. It''s far


    too insane!"


    "Bloody hell, they''re not sure who that veteran was though? Man, the huge amount of guts he has! The


    Hugo family happens to be a second-ss aristocratic family so wouldn''t he be disrespecting the Hugo


    family for pping Neil''s face?"


    While Ivan poured himself a ss of red wine, he spoke in a very ecstatic tone, "It’s my first time


    hearing of such a masculine man. He''s truly my idol!"


    "A mere veteran was bold enough to p Neil’s face and disrespect the Hugo family?"


    Theodore was a little unconvinced. He said, "Is your information reliable?"


    "Should be, I heard it from a construction merchant. H e said that man was extremely powerful since


    he''d almost made Neil cry just from being pped.”


    After Ivan took a huge gulp of red wine from his ss, he put it down and spoke emotionally, "The most


    important thing is that there was a luminous pearl auctioned off today. The pearl was no regr pearl


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    and was as big as a ping-pong ball. Based on what the specialists have found out, not only can it aid


    one''s sleep just by cing it next to their bed, but it can even slow down a person''s metabolism to the


    point of essentially extending one’s lifespan a little!"


    "Something that mythical exists in this world?”


    After Old Master Taylor heard that, he felt quite excited since a treasure like that would be most


    tempting to elderly people like him.


    He was about to turn 70 and his body was getting weaker by the day. If he actually had a treasure that


    could extend his lifespan, he might actually live a year or two longer.


    "Sigh, if we only learnt about this sooner. If we knew, w e could go to the auction to bid for it. Then we


    could have ced it next to your grandpa’s pillow. Wouldn''t that be nice!" Theodore looked at Ivan as


    hemented.


    Ivan immediately cracked a bitter smile and said," Father, it''s not only us who wanted a treasure like


    this. The other wealthy merchants, first and second-ss aristocratic families, and heck, even the


    Drake family wanted it too! Man, the people from the auction house didn''t even bother to inform third-


    ss aristocratic families like ours. They only privately contacted the first and second-ss aristocratic


    families, including the Drake family!" "It''s uncertain how some wealthy merchants got wind of the


    auction since they showed up too. However, they were only there to spectate because they can''t


    "Really? Since the Drake family went and had their eyes on a treasure like that, it should have most


    likely fallen into their hands, right?" Theodore said after pondering for a moment.


    "Nope!"
