“Could it be that those Florencians have already admitted defeat?” Richard could note to a definite


    conclusion.


    “Whatever!” A cold and stern expression shed across his face that had enchanted thousands of


    young girls, and he muttered to himself, “I’ll deal with them using the blind boxes tomorrow!


    “If they still don’t see reason, then don’t me me for being ruthless…”


    The next day, surrounded by numerous servants and guards, Richard arrived at his exclusive VIP


    room.


    From his elevated position, he scanned the area and saw Andrius casually sitting at table 83.


    Strangely, he was the only one present from the trio yesterday. The other two were not here.


    Richard could not help but frown.


    “Ladies and gentlemen…”


    Just then, the auction house owner, Fierde, slowly walked up to the stage. He looked around.


    There were many empty seats today, but a lot of people still came presumably to witness the


    showdown between the unfamiliar Florencian and Richard.


    Richard and Andrius had both arrived.


    Fierde announced loudly, “Since the two gentlemen are here, then ording to the agreement made


    yesterday…”


    Before he could finish, Richard said teasingly, “Florencian, it’s time to bring out your cash and


    showcase your financial power as a World Bank ck cardholder.”


    He had already confirmed that the ne from Florence was still firmly parked at the border. Andrius


    had no valuable items on hand, so he did not have the cash at all.


    Thus, Richard made his move right away.

    Andrius had anticipated this scene and said calmly, “The journey from Florence to ndom is a long


    one. The mountains are high, and the road is far. Just give me half an hour, and my money will arrive.


    Mr. Fierde and Sir Richard, you wouldn’t deny me this half–hour, right?”


    Andrius‘ words left no room for criticism.


    “Sure!” Richard was confident that Andrius would not get the money and said sinisterly, “I’ll give you


    another half an hour. However, if your money doesn’t arrive within that half–hour, then the first two blind


    boxes you bid for will belong to me!”


    Richard was very happy to easily obtain the blind boxes.


    Andrius nced at his phone and said casually, “No problem.”


    An agreement was reached, and the auction was put on hold.


    Half an hour soon passed. However, nothing happened. The ne filled with cash was still parked at


    the border. Andrius did not receive the cash.


    “Florencian…” Richard said gleefully, “Sorry, but half an hour has passed, and your money hasn’t


    arrived yet…


    “A real man never goes back on his word. Since your money hasn’t arrived, then ording to our


    agreement, the two blind boxes you bid on earlier now belong to me.”


    Richard’s excitement was evident in his voice.


    Fierde also said in a loud voice, “I’m very sorry. Although you have a World Bank ck card, you don’t


    possess enough cash as coteral, so…”


    Just as he was about to announce that Andrius‘ previous two bids were invalid, Andrius‘ clear voice


    resounded through the venue. “Who said I don’t have enough cash as coteral?”


    Richard and Fierde were just about to refute but suddenly heard amotion from outside.


    Rumble…


    Therge movement seemed to make the ground itself shake.


    Everyone in the auction hall, including Richard and Fierde, was stunned and immediately looked in the


    direction of the sound.


    Then, they were all dumbfounded.
