Chapter 884
Sebastian’s face stiffened, his expression growing even more obsessive.
The way he stared at Serena was like a viper flicking its tongue.
This girl p>
She was wildly thrilling!
Arrogant beyond belief.
He wanted nothing more than to break her and conquer her.
To see this fierce girl completely submissive at his mercy!
The sheer thought of it was wildly stimulating!
But his twisted fantasy was instantly interrupted by a towering figure stepping into his line of sight.
The man in the black suit and black angel mask positioned himself directly in front of
the girl.
He completely blocked Sebastian’s invasive stare.
Beneath the black angel mask, the man’s deep eyes were like frozen glaciers, piercing and bone-chillingly cold.
Under the weight of that glare,
Even someone as dark and depraved as Sebastian
Couldn’t help but feel a freezing dread, as if he had been plunged into a vat of liquid nitrogen.
He frowned deeply, his eyes narrowing in suspicion.
That man… was supposedly just a model. How could he exude such a terrifying aura?
Meanwhile,
Serena had already turned her lazy, sweeping gaze toward the rest of the guests. “Are there any counterbids p>
“If not, the Astral Titanium is mine for two dollars p>
The entire venue was dead silent.
Counterbid?
They wanted to! They were dying to snatch it!
But their consoles were dead. How could they bid?
Even the auctioneer stood frozen on stage, his gavel hovering awkwardly in mid-air.
How was he supposed to hammer this in?
An item that started at five hundred million and climbed to 5.2 billion had just been reduced to two dollars.
How could he possibly finalize a two-dollar sale?
This was definitively the most absurd, unsolvable auction of his entire career!
“You… keep dreaming!” Arthur
panicked, throwing all patriarchal dignity out the window. “This is a system failure! This is a malicious cyberattack! I declare this round completely void! The Astral Titanium is withdrawn from the auction p>
There was no way in hell he was selling it for two dollars.
If that transaction went through,
The Doyles would suffer a catastrophic loss!
It would cost them half their entire fortune!
Not to mention, they would become the absolute laughingstock of high society.
Arthur didn’t care about saving face anymore. He shot a frantic look at the family butler hovering behind hip Hing our ystem failures are b control. Withdrawing the item is the only way to maintain a fair auction p>
“The Doyle family will reclaim the Astral Titanium for now p>
The butler immediately rushed forward to pull the display stand away.
As long as they kept the item,
They could still sell it later.
They would just have to swallow the embarrassment.
After all, the Doyle family had already lost enough face tonight anyway.
A little more wouldn’t hurt.
The Doyles were blatantly refusing to honor the auction.
But none of the guests dared to speak up.
After all, this was the Doyle family’s turf, and none of them were thrilled at the idea of watching a girl walks away with Astral Titanium for two dollars anyway.
However.
Just as the butler rushed onto the stage and reached for the display cart,
A sudden, dazzling blur of light shot across the room.
*Smack p>
It slammed directly into the butler’s wrist.
The butler yelped in pain, ripping his hand back from the cart.
The projectile dropped heavily at his feet.
It was a wine glass.
Incredibly, not a single drop of the red wine inside had spilled during its flight across
the room.
It was only when it smashed against the ground
That the glass shattered, sending wine splashing everywhere.
“Backing out of a deal, Mr. Doyle p>
Serena lifted her gaze lazily, a faint, careless smirk playing on her lips.
