Chapter 640
The man in the red mask’s gaze turned predatory. He lit a cigarette, his voice indifferent. “Saw a woman. Stunning curves p>
“Hahaha, Rex, you’re actually interested in a woman?” The man behind him laughed out loud. “Let me see. What kind of woman could make our celibate Rex finally feel something? After the auction, your buddy will snatch her up for you p>
“No need.” The man in the red mask exhaled a plume of smoke, the thin haze blurring the striking angles of his handsome face.
He turned and walked straight into the VIP corridor.
Serena had no idea she had just become someone’s target.
Holding her invitation, she passed through layers of security and made her way onto the auction floor.
It was no surprise this place was the top money-burning den in the United Realmon States. The luxury was absolute.
Beneath the massive glass chandeliers gathered billionaires, elites, and underworld bosses from all over the globe.
Serena headed straight for a private booth on the second floor.
The vantage point was excellent.
It offered a crystal-clear view of everything happening around the auction stage.
The auction proceeded in an orderly fashion.
That was until the auctioneer’s voice reached a fever pitch, passionately announcing the final lot. “Next up is tonight’s grand finale p>
“The K-07 neural chip, stolen by a defector from the Gray Zone’s Ghost Alliance! I’m sure everyone here knows its true value far better than I do. The bidding starts at fifty million dollars p>
The moment the words fell, the entire venue erupted in a frenzy.
It was safe to say that the vast majority of attendees at this underground auction were here for that very chip.
The crowd began bidding enthusiastically.
Black Jack’s disgruntled voice crackled through Serena’s earpiece. “What defector? Since when did I defect or steal anything? They were the ones who stole it p>
Black Jack grew angrier by the second, grinding her teeth in frustration. “Demon, are you ready p>
Serena’s gaze fell on the auction stage, locking onto the tiny chip displayed inside a bulletproof glass case.
Her eyes turned icy. “Yeah p>
“The Ghost Alliance has prepared three hundred million dollars. Let’s
see if we can win it through the
normal channels first,
an elder o
the Ghost Alliance said over the
comms. “This is the United Realmon States. If we can avoid a conflict, we should p>
Serena narrowed her eyes, offering no response.
Suddenly, an electronic bidding tone rang out from the center booth on the second floor.
“One hundred million p>
The various factions of the United
Realmon States, who had been
itching to make their move,
look at that booel
“It’s Rex p>
“Rex is actually after this chip too p>
“If he’s making a move, it looks like we’re out of luck p>
The regulars at this auction knew exactly who was inside the moment they saw that specific booth.
One by one, they all backed down.
Rex was a newly risen power in the underworld of the United Realmon States over
the past two years.
He was from Elyndor, but his
background was shrouded in
domineering whatever vel
mystery. He was ruthless and.
Sights on, he never failed to obtain.
Who would dare compete against such a vicious, enigmatic kingpin?
The auctioneer was just about to drop the hammer.
“Two hundred million p>
A cool, clear female voice echoed from another booth on the second floor.
The voice wasn’t loud.
Yet it effortlessly sliced through the uproar of the entire venue.
Inside the center booth.
The man in the ruby-red suit sat with his long legs elegantly crossed, casually toying
with the bidding remote in his hand.
When he heard that voice.
His fingers paused for a fraction of a second.
