Chapter 1211


    Henry carefully observed the two people standing in front of the door. They seemed to be standing


    there casually, checking out women in the hall. However, both of them were leaning slightly toward


    the door.


    This showed that they were guarding the door, and it was the most important thing on their minds.


    Henry also found that their breath was in sync, which meant they practiced the same type of


    cultivation. So they were definitely masters of kung fu since average people didn''t even have


    cultivation.


    Henry found it very strange. If the stuff behind the door were the Lon artifacts that would be


    auctioned, why would Alvin League sent out their own security? ording to what was happening


    on the table, Enkidu Inc. had a rtionship with the government, so the government should be


    taking full responsibility for the security, and Alvin League didn''t need to be bothered. Unless...


    Henry suddenly thought of something!


    The Alvin League was trying to give away one artifact from Lon ruins, and it couldn''t be given to


    the government. So they nned to use the auction as the front to transfer the artifact to somebody


    else.


    This was the only reason that Henry could think of why the Alvin League sent their own special


    security guards.


    He did a recon and found out there was only one way to enter this room. No one could sneak into


    the room without rming the two guards by the door. Henry didn''t n on breaking in.


    With confusion, Henry decided to wait and see what Alvin League was up to.


    The cocktail party before the auction wouldn''t take long.


    Before Ranjeet had enough to eat, the music turned down.


    All the guests stopped chatting.


    In the hall, the only noticeable noise was Ranjeet''s chewing sound.


    Waiters came in to set up the seating for the auction, and a curtain was drawn in the front of the


    hall.


    All the chairs had reservationbels for eachpany, and eachpany had three to five chairs.


    Depending on how many people actually showed up for the auction, the waiters would adjust the


    number of the chairs.


    Everyone was looking for their designated chair to sit down.


    As one of the top business organizations of Orafield Province and even of the whole Yan Xia, the


    Lins Group was seated in the forefront.


    He n, which just had an unhappy meeting with the Lins Group, was seated next to the Lins


    Group.


    The seating arrangement was the representation of power and status.


    Henry stopped Ranjeet''s gulping and dragged him over to the seat.


    "Prepare your nose. Tell me who carries the scent of your ancestors'' grave."

    "No problem," Although Ranjeet was off- beat in many things, he was somewhat reliable at work.


    When Henry gave him the task that involved his ancestors, for the first time, Ranjeet didn''t mention


    that he hadn''t had enough to eat.


    Nadeen sat down beside Henry angrily.


    She nudged her chair away from Henry.


    In a short period of time, the majority of the chairs were taken. People kept showing up to fill the


    rest of the seats.


    Henry noticed that many people smiled at him pleasantly. He knew it was because his chair was


    labeled the Lins Group.


    As for the young man who ridiculed Henry for the sake of Nadeen, he sat in the fifth row. This


    showed his family''s status was way inferior to the Lin Family.


    The young man kept staring at Henry, hoping that Henry could look back toward himself. He wanted


    to give Henry an ingratiated smile.


    But to the young man''s disappointment, Henry never turned his head backward.


    The lights in the hall dimmed down. A spotlight hit the tform in the front, and the curtain was


    raised. A beautiful woman in her thirties walked out. She wore a cheongsam with high slip. The


    attention of the room was all drawn to her.


    She was the hostess and auctioneer. After an opening speech, the first auction piece was


    presented.


    "Everyone knows that the Lon ruins are full of mysteries. The first artifact is a Lon bronze


    sword. It was excavated from thirty-two meters below the ground of the Lon ruins. The sword is


    verified and certificated by exports. So it has great collector values. Since the purpose of the


    auction is for charity, the starting price of each item is one yuan. Everyone can bid as you wish."


    As soon as the hostess finished speaking, the bidding sound started.


    "One hundred thousand!"


    Although the starting price was one yuan, it was only a symbolic price. No one in the auction was


    going to bid based on it.


    No one outbid the first bidder.


    Everyone knew the nature of this auction. To show their friendly gesture to the government, every


    organization would have to buy at least one object. Unless they saw something they really liked, no


    one wouldpete with other people''s bidding because it would start a feud with the business


    organization they outbid with.


    In this way, the first item was bought in a hundred thousand yuan.


    Henry took a look at Ranjeet and whispered, "Is this your ancestors''?"


    "No," Ranjeet shook his head and said, "But it has the smell. It''s probably because it was buried


    with my ancestors'' stuff for too long. But it doesn''t belong to my ancestors."


    "If you find anything, tell me right away."


    "All right."


    The auction was still ongoing. Henry was not interested in relics, so he didn''t put down any bidding.


    That day, everyone should bring home at least one object. Henry wanted to use the auction as an


    opportunity to test one of his theories.


    Nadeen didn''t bid anything, either. She kept ncing at Henry with hatred in her eyes. She was


    definitely up to something.


    That night''s auction had a lot of artifacts. When the hostess announced the twelfth item, Henry saw


    a stone disk was presented.


    Ranjeet was stunned when he saw the stone disk. He said in a hurry, "Brother, it is from my


    ancestors'' grave!"


    As soon as Henry heard Ranjeet''s words, he raised his hand, "One million."


    The Lins Group put down a bidding of one million yuan directly!


    No one was surprised by Henry''s bidding. One million yuan was a reasonable bidding price for the


    Lins Group. If he called it too low, it didn''t match the status of the organization. If too high, the Lins


    Group would put the other organizations into an embarrassing position.


    After hearing Henry''s bidding, other interested people all shook their heads and kept their silence.


    No one would outbid the Lins Group.


    Just when everyone thought that Henry had won the stone disk, a voice rang out suddenly.


    "Two million yuan!"
