Chapter 354 Gift For Miss Lockwood
The higher-ups of the underground chamber ofmerce noticed the president seemed to be in a good mood today. They could sense the curl on the corners of the president''s lips had deepenedpared with previously. There were even some emotions from the bottom of his heart.
"Is everything ready?"
Joshua looked around and asked gently.
All the higher-ups nodded and said that they were perfectly ready.
Joshua nodded. "That''s great. This auction concerns living metal. There must not be any mistakes."
"Yes, sir."
After giving instructions to the higher-ups, someone came to report that James had arrived.
The expressions of the higher-ups remained unchanged. They had gotten used to James''s existence.
This Mr. Beck was not simple.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
When he returned to Mystical Ind half a year ago, he proactively looked for the president, saying he wanted to cooperate with him.
As soon as the higher-ups left, Joshua''s expression suddenly changed. He said excitedly, "Will the patriarch reallye tonight?"
James could understand his excitement very well. He reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "Yes. Patriarch is probably almost here."
As soon as James finished speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed at the surveince camera screen on the wall opposite him and said, "Theo, look, the patriarch is here!" Joshua quickly looked over and saw Draxton''s figure.
But Draxton was holding a little girl in his arms. A stunning beauty with a graceful figure was also beside him.
Joshua''s eyes lit up as he said, "Are those patriarch''s wife and Miss Lockwood?"
James nodded and said, smiling, "That''s right. I''m sure you know the patriarch''s wife''s status in the Lockwood family."
Theo said, "Of course. I''m not that two idiots, Martin and n.
"And the people of Big Dipper. I heard they have been currying favor earnestly to win back the patriarch''s wife''s favor."
He beamed and said, "I''m smart all this while. I see that currying favor with the patriarch''s wife is more useful than with the patriarch."
As he spoke, the smile on his face broadened.
James could not help butugh.
Theo was indeed a very cunning guy.
Otherwise, he wouldn''t have be the owner of the underground chamber ofmerce these years.
Draxton and Patriarch Grey entered the auction hall together. During this time, Patriarch Grey kept ncing on top of Betty''s head. Isabe curled her lips and smiled coldly. It seemed that Patriarch Grey had noticed Silver General on Betty''s head.
That was right. It was Silver General, not his General Red.
As she was nestling in Draxton''s arms, Betty''s eyes were full of amazement as she looked at the bustling auction hall.
"Wow! Dad, Mom, this ce is so huge. I can''t even see its end!"
She said in a soft childish voice, but her tone sounded like an adult.
"This auction hall can amodate tens of thousands of people. Betty, stay calm. Please stay calm!"
Though Isabe said that, her face also revealed the same amazement.
Looking at them, the smile in Draxton''s eyes was evident. He said dotingly, "We cane here often if you like this ce."
Upon hearing what he said, Patriarch Grey''s and Hayden''s eyes could not help but reveal mocking expressions.
Draxton was so arrogant. What kind of ce did he think this underground chamber ofmerce was? Was it a ce that they coulde at will? They coulde here today because of their Grey family!
If it weren''t for the Grey family''s invitation and brought them along, could they enter here?
At this moment, both Patriarch Grey and Hayden felt this Draxton was just an average person. He was also a little funny.
Being so arrogant, he would definitely be humiliated by someone.
They were just waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.
At this moment, the auction hall was already filled up. It was fully upied.
This did not include the private room upstairs.
This could tell the living metal was indeed tempting.
At this moment, the Moore family in a private room upstairs was staring coldly at a specific ce in the hall through the one-way ss window.
It was where Draxton and his family were seated.
With Patriarch Grey''s identity, he could have been seated in the private room. However, to attract Draxton and the others, Patriarch Grey lowered his status and sat with them in the hall. Grant stood by the window and said in an icy voice, "Target their seats. Tell our people to kill themter. We must kill them."
Several assassins with cold expressions were behind him. These ssassins were all experts of the Moore family.
Upon hearing this, they stared at where Draxton and Isabe were seated. They then acknowledged by nodding, and all their eyes shed with bloodthirst.
They were experts in killing people.
Isabe had sharp senses. She felt targeted by a venomous snake as soon as she entered the auction hall. However, she was not afraid.
At this moment, there was a suddenmotion in the crowd.
It was because a man walked onto the auction stage.
And they all knew the identity of this man.
Joshua walked up the auction stage and looked around below. His gaze paused on Draxton and his family for an instant and then moved away silently.
He said smiling, "Good evening, everyone. Today''s auction will be hosted personally by me, the president!" As soon as he finished speaking, the entire venue was instantly in an uproar!
Mr. Miller actually hosted this auction personally.
It seemed that Mr. Miller indeed took the living metal seriously.
Everyone had thought that Joshua personally hosted the event because he took the living metal seriously. However, only James, Draxton, and Isabe knew that his true purpose was Draxton.
A gentie light shed across Draxton''s eyes.
Isabe also smiled at Joshua.
It was an unusual auction. The entire auction hall was particrly quiet because Joshua was hosting it. personally.
It was because they were in awe of Joshua''s identity.
He was equivalent to the king of District 8, after all.
Even the tribunalmittee couldn''t do anything to him.
In the private room where the Moore family was seated, Desmond crushed a coffee cup and growled, "Damn it! Why is Joshua hosting the auction personally? With his presence, the auction hall today will be heavily guarded. It will be difficult for our people to sneak in."
"There''s still a way... The defense of the underground chamber ofmerce is focused on protecting Joshua, thus they shouldn''t pay too much attention to our people..."
At this moment, the first item had been brought up onto the auction stage.
It was an exceptionally beautiful and exquisite princess dress.
Judging from its size, it was only suitable for children around five years old.
The entire auction hall gasped in astonishment when the princess dress was erged on the big screen.
Why did a little girl''s dress appear?
Everyone was confused. Only Draxton''s lips curled up slightly. Theo was giving Betty a gift in disguise!
Joshua smiled and said as if he knew everyone''s doubts, "Everyone, don''t underestimate this dress. It was woven from unknown threads that our people found in the 26,000 feet deep sea.
"It looks light and thin like a cicada''s wings, but in fact, it''s impervious to water and heat. Even bullets can''t harm it at all, and des and swords can''t leave any traces on it.”
After saying that, he looked around the hall smiling. "The starting price of this princess dress is 10 million Lucsian Dors..."
As Mystical Ind followed the ancient Lucsian trend, the currency of Mystical Ind followed Lucsia.
The starting price of 10 million Lucsian Dors was not considered a lot.
However, even though the material of that little dress was magical, people would not spend 10 million Lucsian Dors to buy a dress for their children to wear. Furthermore, 10 million Lucsian Dors was only the starting price.
At this moment, Draxton''s voice sounded. "11 million Lucsian Dors."
Everyone looked at Draxton and saw the little girl in his arms.
Everyone gasped.
Draxton was indeed arrogant. Wasn''t he afraid of being too eye-catching?
In the hall, someone smiled maliciously and shouted, "15 million Lucsian Dors!"
Obviously, he raised the price deliberately!
