Chapter 4

Besides, the Queen's necklace was sold for only eight million last year.

"Mrs. Vanderbilt is very generous. I would like to thank you for your donation on behalf of the children in the remote mountainous areas."

I clapped and slowly stood up from my seat.

"But... since it's a charity party, the more money the better."

Halfway through my words, I slowly extended my index finger in front of everyone's surprised gaze.

"Twenty million... and one dollar!"

All those who were invited to attend the auction today were well-known figures in Metropolis City. Even though the Vanderbilt Family acted so high-profile, no one dared to say "no".

This shows that in everyone's mind, the Vanderbilt Family is an unshakable existence.

Unfortunately, I happened to meet him today.

In all my years at The Agency, this was the first time I felt threatened.

"Everyone, let me make it clear in advance that this person is just a blind date introduced by my father and has nothing to do with me."

"If this guy can't come up with the money later, the organizers should not trouble me."

I tried hard not to laugh out loud.

"Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Vanderbilt. I have a good relationship with the organizer and they probably won't cause me any trouble. But your Vanderbilt Family..."

As I said this, I suddenly changed the subject and my tone became a little sharper.

"In the future... I'm afraid I'll have to be careful."

The eldest daughter of the Vanderbilt Family didn't care at all about my well-intentioned reminder.

"Mr. Stone, don't use the organizer to pressure me. Looking at the entire Metropolis City, I'm really not afraid of anyone!"

As the auction price got higher and higher, cold sweat began to seep out of Victoria's forehead.

I pretended not to see it and spoke slowly.

"Mrs. Vanderbilt, I think since we are all doing this for charity, why not do it all at once?"

"I'll offer you 100 million US dollars, do you dare to follow me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene reached a climax again.

Although those who can attend this auction are basically worth over 100 million, having a net worth of over 100 million and being able to take out 100 million in cash are two different things.

Victoria was stunned by my sudden burst of momentum and was afraid to speak.

Seeing this scene, Parker, who had been silent for a long time, stood up again.

"Loser, this is an auction, not a numbers game."

The guests around also shouted loudly:

"Parker is right, we require on-site capital verification!"

Looking at everyone's increasingly red eyes, the corners of my mouth unconsciously rose slightly.

"After a night of hard work, you guys finally got to the point."

I slowly took out my phone in front of everyone.

"Hello, boss, I'm Little Stone."

The person on the other end of the phone heard my voice and started talking with a smile.

"Why are you calling me at this time? Have you picked out the gift?"

I glanced at Mrs. Vanderbilt who was standing opposite me, sneered, and then spoke.

"Leader, I was just about to report this to you."

As I said this, I suddenly changed the subject and my tone became a little colder.

“Someone was lighting a sky lantern at the auction.”

"What did you say?"

On the other end of the phone, the leader's surprised tone was almost overflowing from the screen.

"You are kidding me, that's the National Heritage Auction House. Who dares to be so arrogant?"

At this moment, the anger in my body reached its peak.

"Boss, how dare I joke with you about this kind of thing!"

I gave the leader a brief account of what had happened, and he got so angry that he smashed the cup on the spot.

"Stay where you are, let me handle this matter!"
