CHAPTER 908 A ZERO-SUM GAME

As people down the stage was complimenting and sighing for the exquisiteness of the items exhibited,

Rowen suddenly stood up and yelled out in a powerful voice, "No matter how much I shall pay, I'm

going to get all these treasures, including you, lady!"

The hall resounded with the voice of Rowen, which had drawn the attention of those rich men around.

Finding that it was Rowen who made such rampant announcement, those fellows dared not to do

anything but to lower down their heads, gritting their teeth silently. They all felt it the same way that it

was excessive for Rowen to take away all those curios regardless of others' feeling, while no one

would dare to speak out the voice inside in case of getting himself trouble.

Rowen looked around and then grinned, yelling to the lady loudly, "It seems that none of the guests

around are able to afford all these items today, except me!"

Connor, sitting aside and looking at Rowen, chose to remain silent since he neither got any interest in

those curios nor what was inside the head of Rowen.

For the chairman of the auction standing aside, he was stunned into cold sweat with his eyes wide

open out of panic. He had long heard the obscene and filthy essence of Rowen, and knew nothing

about what would happen to his daughter if he took her away.

However, it was out of what the chairman had expected that his daughter, smiling seductively, stepped

towards Rowen, stroked his chest softly with one hand and said, "That would be great, Rowen.

Besides, I always appreciate those who are tough and, of course, rich."

"You really know how to be loved, don't you?" Rowen laughed and seemed satisfied with the flattering

of the chairman's daughter.

The unexpected interactions between the beauty and the wrinkled old man Rowen were such an

eyesore to the guests around.

Chief Carr frowned, turned to his assistant and asked, "Tell me something about the man called

Rowen."

"Sorry, but I'm not sure about that too. All I know is that he has his hands in a dozens of company, and

the yearly revenue of each of them is nearly immeasurable." Answered his assistant.

Chief Carr sighed and thought to himself that it was too early for him to take any further actions against

Rowen.

After Rowen had successfully bought all those curios in auction, the daughter of the chairman

gracefully stepped towards the front of Rowen, presenting all those curios to him by herself and leaving

a kiss on Rowen's cheek.

Rowen then took the advantage, pulled her to his side and began to fondle her, regardless of the glare

of the chairman.

"I have a question for you, sweetie." Rowen suddenly asked, with one of his hands softly stroking the

head of the lady, "Am I the most powerful and influential man in this place?"

The lady hesitated, glanced at the men around including Chief Carr and Connor. Rowen then stared at

her sharply and asked again, "Tell me, am I the most powerful and influential man in this place?"

The lady seemed frightened, nodding panically and leaning on the chest of Rowen. Rowen then

laughed and turned to Maximilian with defiant eyes, while it seemed that Maximilian was not going to

give any response to Rowen even though he had noticed his provocation, which made Rowen Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

extremely unpleasant.

In the following rounds of the auction, Rowen decided to stop wasting any money and kept silent in the

rest of the process, leaving other guests yelling out prices to compete with each other for the items

auctioned.

Soon, the third round of the auctions came, and among the items Maximilian found a glossy

ganoderma with color of icy blue, which was definitely Hardy Ganoderma that Damen had mentioned.

"In this round of auction, we have a kind of valuable and rare traditional Chinese herb here which is

called Hardy Ganoderma. As we can see, it is covered by the color of transparent icy blue, and

according to reference, it is valuable for its functions of lowering blood pressure, strengthening one's

overall physical abilities, especially sexual capacity." Another lady, stepped up to the stage and

introduced to the guests.

The last function that the auction lady mentioned had attracted the attention of guests around. For

Maximilian, it was the only chance to save Victoria's grandpa, and he needed to get Hardy Ganoderma

no matter what.
