Chapter 2054


    Nathan walked toward the window and said indifferently, "Hey, that woman next door, can you please stop imitating me blindly? If you keep doing this, the auctioneer won''t know what he is supposed to do. Okay, since you want topete with me, I''m giving you onest chance. I''ll make my final bid now. Outbid me if you dare."


    At that moment, everyone was looking at Nathan, who was standing in front of the window of Sublime Room. His well-built physique and calm and determined look gave off a distinctive aura.


    Then, he said nonchntly, "I''ll offer one billion for it!"


    One billion!


    Hearing that, the auctioneer was so astounded at the sight that his eyes almost popped out from his eye sockets.


    That was ten times higher than the market price of the painting!


    Everyone present stared at Nathan in shock, too, at that time.


    Suddenly, a heavy silence filled the space so much that a pin drop could be heard.


    The onlookers recovered their senses only after a few seconds. Then, they eximed in shock upon seeing what was happening.


    "Oh God, who is this man? He is at a different league!"


    "Yeah. The VIP in Starlight Room is Ms. Shae, thedy of the Davier family, right? How dare he


    defies her?"


    "Hehe, you don''t know, right? He is the General, Nathan Cross. The person beside him is his wife, Penny Smith. Theirpany, Cross Group, is worth hundreds of billions. So, one billion means nothing to them."


    Everyone was surprised to hear that.


    Meanwhile, Shae was triggered by Nathan''s words and wanted to bid even higher.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    However, her subordinates stopped her immediately.


    "Ms. Shae, one billion isn''t a small amount. To Davier family, it was considered quite arge amount. Let''s stop here. I don''t think the Daviers are willing to pay so much for the painting.


    Moreover, if we spent that much just to get back at Nathan, how are we supposed to exin this


    to Mr. Davier?"


    The words dragged Shae back to her senses. Thus, she stopped raising the bid.


    At that point, her face turned pale in anger. She clenched her fists tightly as she bit her lips. Dissatisfaction was written all over her face.


    Then, her subordinateforted


    her, "Ms. Shae, recently Mr. Davier is trying to unite the Daviers with Chief Military Governor through marriage. He wanted you to marry the governor. When you be his wife, you can take revenge.


    Nathan anytime. So, just bear with it


    for now!"


    Hearing that, Shae pondered over it for a brief moment. Then, she stood up and ordered with an icy voice, Lets go!


    Meanwhile, in the auction room.


    Seeing as Shae said nothing after Nathan offered one billion for the painting, the auctioneer immediately announced, "The abstract painting, Eternal Toil by Wnd Huck is sold to Mr. Cross in Sublime Room at one billion.”


    At that, Nathan, Penny, Colin, and the four of the Elite Eight came out of the private room.


    Just then, they ran into Shae and her group of people in the corridor.


    When Shae saw Nathan and Penny, her eyes were full of hatred. She gritted her teeth in anger as she said, "Way to go, Nathan and Penny! But don''t think that you have won because you are rich. Just you wait. won''t let you get away with that."


    At that, she left furiously with her subordinates.


    Penny scrunched her brows as she said, "I can sense her indignance." "Anyway, I don''t care about her at all," said Nathan.


    After that, he instructed Colin, "It''s gettingte. Go get our abstract painting and go home now."


    "Yes, General."


    Ten minutester, Colin rushed back and whispered into Nathan''s ear anxiously, "General, Shae took our painting away."


    Upon hearing that, Nathan frowned.

    "What? I''ve won the bid! What right does she have to take my painting? Ask Ghost King to give me an exnation now! If I am not satisfied with his exnation his days as ''Ghost King'' are numbered."


    "Yes, General."
