Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284 

They walked to the hotel and took the elevator to the rooftop. 

The rooftop was a banquet hall. Men in black suits stood at the entrance of the elevator lobby. They filled the entire corridor and gave off a daunting presence. 

It was clearly closed off to the public. 

They were stopped by those men as soon as they stepped out of the elevator. Ted stepped forward and said, “He’s with me, and he’s the boss. I vouch for him.

Ted seemed to be a regular there who was very familiar with the place. The leader of the bodyguards. glanced at Wilbur, nodded, then allowed him to enter. 

Wilbur looked at the neverending line of men in black suits as he walked. He said, “You have quite the reputation here.” 

“I’ve been messing around in Toneville since I was a kid. Everyone here shows me some respect.” 

Wilbur nodded. People like Ted may not be of high status, but he was well–connected. When people needed something, they would seek help from someone like him. He was the kind of person who could navigate social circles with ease, a jack of all trades. 

Wilbur noticed that many people were seated inside upon arriving at the banquet hall. There were also hundreds of men in black suits standing around, openly carrying swords on their backs. 

Ted led Wilbur to their seats. Wilbur said, “The owner of this place knows how to plan an auction.” 

“That’s right, this auction would have ended a long time ago if he didn’t.” 

Wilbur smiled and waited in silence. 

Thirty minutes later, all the guests finally arrived. The door of the banquet hall was closed, and so began 

the auction. 

Four items were auctioned away without garnering Wilbur’s interest. 

Although the items were nice, they did not meet his expectations. 

The fifth piece was then presented for auction. It was a bronze sword. The sword was a first–class 

cultural relic that was expressly prohibited by the state from being sold or taken out of the country. Those who were knowledgeable could tell that it probably came from an ancient tomb, and it was a very 

valuable item. 

Wilbur inspected it and immediately decided he wanted it. 

The sword contained a certain power, which was good enough as a sacrifice. 

Wilbur had a smile on his face as he made the first bid for 30 million dollars. 

Someone raised the bid, but Wilbur did not get riled up, slowly raising his bid. 

Some bidders quit, but there were two bidders who kept bidding against Wilbur. They would not relent They were determined to get the sword. 

Wilbur stayed calm and slowly raised his bid. The bronze sword was up to 140 million dollars because of 

their contest. 

The onlookers were quite surprised by that point 

The auctioned item was nice, but it was from an unknown source. It was not a worthwhile bid.

However, Wilbur did not care about that. He raised the bid up to 200 million dollars. The two competing bidders finally gave up and the auctioneer declared Wilbur the owner of the bronze sword. 

The crowd applauded and Wilbur chuckled. He transferred the money without any hesitation. 

Just as he was about to take the bronze sword, a buff, bald man slowly emerged from behind a folding. screen. He looked at Wilbur with a sinister smile and said, “You’re not taking this piece with you.”
