52: Chapter 052: Pretending to Be a Boyfriend!
He squinted and asked, “Kid, what’s your name and which family’s young master do you belong to?”
Lionel Yeager replied indifferently, “My name is Lionel Yeager, and I’m not any young master, just a doctor.”
Malcom Jordan suddenly laughed, “Kid, I’ve set my sights on your girlfriend.
Stay away from this beauty in the future.”
Lionel Yeager, with a speechless expression, looked at Malcom Jordan and said, “She’s my girlfriend, why should I stay away from her?
Shouldn’t you be the one to stay away?”
Before Malcom Jordan could speak, a young woman beside him sneered, “I say, kid, what qualifications do you have to compete with Mr.
Jordan is the young hall master of the Loyal Martial Arts Gym, the head of the three top martial arts gyms in River City, and has acquired perfection at a young age!”
In the entire River City Martial Arts World’s younger generation, apart from Damon Herdman, no one else is a match for Mr.
It’s your honor for Mr.
Jordan to set his sights on your girlfriend!”
If you’re sensible, then get lost quickly!”
What does this have to do with you?”
Lionel Yeager glanced at the woman.
Although the woman looked quite good, the arrogance in her eyes made him feel very unhappy.
The young woman raised her chin and looked arrogantly, “Kid, if you want to know who I am, then listen carefully!”
“My name is Jessica Chaplin, and my father is Jerry Chaplin, the hall master of one of River City’s Three Top Martial Arts Halls, the True Martial Martial Arts Gym!”
“Serena, why bother telling so much to him?
He’s just a little doctor who doesn’t understand Martial Arts World.”
Malcom Jordan smiled and waved his hand, then turned his head to look at Lionel Yeager, “Kid, how much money do you want to leave this beauty?”
“Kid, quickly give a number, my big brother Jordan is not short on money!”
Jessica Chaplin also joined with a smug look.
Seeing Malcom Jordan and Jessica Chaplin making things difficult for Lionel Yeager, Julie Stewart remained silent, just watching Lionel Yeager with interest.
“Perhaps in your eyes, feelings can be measured by value.”
But in my eyes, feelings are priceless.”
Lionel Yeager said seriously, then turned to look at Julie Stewart, affectionately said, “Betty, do you think I’m right?”
As he spoke, Lionel reached out and held Julie’s hand.
Julie’s body trembled involuntarily and she subconsciously tried to struggle free from Lionel’s hand.
However, considering the current situation, Julie cooperated with a charming smile, “Mullen, I think you’re absolutely right.”
Seeing Lionel and Julie holding hands and looking affectionate, Malcom Jordan was so enraged that smoke was coming out of him.
Malcom Jordan stared fiercely at Lionel and said, “Kid, I’ll give you one last chance, stay away from this beauty!”
“I advise you not to challenge my patience, or else the consequences are something you can’t bear!”
“Didn’t you hear, kid?
Get lost and don’t be an eyesore here!”
If you really irritate Mr.
Jordan, no one will be able to save you!”
Jessica Chaplin also crossed her arms and scolded.
“What if I don’t leave?”
Lionel Yeager, facing the two’s gazes, asked indifferently.
Malcom Jordan coldly stared at Lionel and said in a vicious tone, “Kid, are you really looking for death?”
“With someone as useless as you, I could crush you with just one finger!”
Lionel Yeager chuckled and said, “I’d really like to see how you’re going to crush me with just one finger.”
Malcom Jordan was instantly furious and ready to take action.
A young woman came forward.
“Dear guests, the auction is about to begin.
Please head to the second floor.”
Hearing the announcement, everyone in the rest area stood up and walked towards the second floor.
Malcom Jordan tugged at his collar and said coldly, “Kid, I’m going to let you off for now, but just you wait till the auction is over.
“Kid, you’ve offended Mr.
Jordan, your days are numbered!”
Jessica Chaplin also sneered a comment.
Then, Malcom Jordan and Jessica Chaplin left the area and walked towards the second floor.
Once Malcom Jordan and Jessica Chaplin were gone, Julie Stewart said, “Mullen, they’re all gone now, how much longer do you plan on taking advantage of me?”
Lionel Yeager released her hand, grinned, and said, “Sister Betty, you were the one who called me your boyfriend.
If I’m your boyfriend, how can holding your hand be considered taking advantage?”
“We were just acting, don’t take it seriously.”
Julie Stewart said irritably and then stood up, “Let’s go, the auction is about to begin.”
Soon, Lionel Yeager followed Julie Stewart to the second floor, found a seat, and sat down.
A beautiful and capable-looking female auctioneer took to the stage and said, “Good morning, dear guests and friends.”
“I’m very glad to see you all here at this auction.
The bidding rules are the same as before, highest bidder wins.
May you all successfully bid for the items you want today.”
Without further ado, let’s bring out our first item for auction.”
A waitress in a white cheongsam brought out a tray.
Once the Female Auctioneer lifted the red cloth, there appeared a palm-sized Dragon Pattern Jade on the tray.
The jade piece was carved from Heston mutton fat jade, with a delicate texture and a soft, crystal-clear luster.
Both sides were intricately carved with four connected cloud dragons, coiling and winding, as if swimming through clouds.
Lionel Yeager sensed the jade’s strong Spiritual Energy and thought that if he could acquire it and place a talisman on it, it could be used for home protection.
Thinking of this, Lionel Yeager said to Julie Stewart, “Sister Betty, please help me bid for this jade piece.”
“Alright, no problem.
Later, you do the bidding and I’ll pay.”
Julie Stewart agreed with a nod.
At this moment, the female auctioneer said, “This Dragon Pattern Jade is from the Western Han Dynasty and is of exquisite workmanship with a warm and delicate jade texture, making it an excellent collector’s item…”
After introducing the Dragon Pattern Jade, the female auctioneer continued, “The starting price for this Dragon Pattern Jade is 5 million, and each bid must raise the price by at least three hundred thousand!”
As soon as her voice dropped,
the crowd began to bid.
“Five million three hundred thousand!”
“Five million eight hundred thousand!”
After several bids, Lionel Yeager raised his card and shouted, “Seven million!”
However, just as Lionel Yeager finished his bid, another voice rang out suddenly.
“Seven million three hundred thousand!”
Lionel Yeager turned to look and saw Malcom Jordan raising his card.
Malcom Jordan gave Lionel Yeager a thumbs-up and sneered provocatively.
He had been waiting for Lionel Yeager to make his bid.
He planned to snatch every item Lionel Yeager was interested in, bidding higher to prevent him from obtaining anything.
In his view, Lionel Yeager, a mere doctor, certainly was not as wealthy as him.
By doing this, Malcom Jordan wanted to take revenge on Lionel Yeager and show off his wealth in front of Julie Stewart as well.
