"$240 million from Bidder 19."

"$300 million."
"$300 million from Bidder 4.
$300 million once."
"$350 million."
"$350 million from Bidder 5.Any higher?"
The auctioneer waved his right hand excitedly on the stage.
"$380 million."
"$380 million from Bidder 4."
"Max.
"$400 million."
"$400 million from Bidder 5."
The middle-aged man in the front row looked back at Jared and continued to raise his bid card.
"$450 million."
"$450 million from Bidder 4."
There were more murmurs from the people in the room.
"It looks like Bidder 4 and 5 are going at it."
"Today's auction is interesting."
"$500 million."
"Awesome."
The people at the back could not contro] themselves but exclaim.
This was the highest bid in the room.
That a piece of land with an area of over 1.3 million square feet could fetch this price was phenomenal.
"Are there any more bids?"
The auctioneer deliberately paused for a few seconds; the higher the price, the more they would earn.
When the auctioneer saw no one was raising their bid cards, he shouted.
"$500 million once.$500 million twice.$500 million three times.Sold.Congratulations to Bidder 5 for
winning Lot 3."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм The room erupted in thunderous applause as Jared stood up and
looked at the crowd, and nodded.
Max was driving away from the venue when a group of people suddenly appeared in front and stopped
Jared's car.
"Mr.Johnston, someone is in the way." Max stopped the car.
"Who are they?"
"I don't know.They look like gangsters."
Max looked carefully at the group of men who blocked their way.
"Give them some money to send them away."
Jared knew these people were all about money.He did not want to waste time with them, and he would
just tip them and ask them to leave.
"Come here."
Max took out a stack of cash from the car and waved to the group.A man in the lead approached Max.
"Mr.Johnston is in a good mood today.This is for you all.Here you go."
Max tossed the money into the man's hand.
He thought the man would take the money and tell his men to get out of the way, but the man stomped
the money on the ground and pointed at Jared sitting in the back seat.
"Get out of the car."
Max saw that the kid did not know what he was doing, and he looked back at Jared.
"Mr.Johnston, I will take care of it."
"Okay."
Jared ignored the man who was screaming outside the car.
Max loosened up his tie, pushed open the door, and got out of the car, asked the shouting man, "Who
sent you here?"
"You have no business here.Get out of the way—"
Before the fat man could finish his sentence, Max snapped his hand at once and looked at him
expressionlessly.
"Your hand is too rude."
When those men blocking in front of the car saw Max had snapped the fat man's hand, they charged at
Max with their sticks.
Max flung away the fat man and moved toward those guys wielding the sticks.
In just a short while, the group of men was beaten to the ground, screaming in pain incessantly.th.Max
brushed down his suit, walked straight back to his car, and drove toward the hotel.
