No 1 Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 366

"Eight hundred million!”
Leo seemed relaxed and announced his bid.
Finally, Brooke grew surprised and a bit resentful.
He didn't think Leo would be so persistent to compete with him for this badge.
Eight hundred million is almost beyond the most he could offer.
Just when he was hesitating whether to give up, he was suddenly stunned when seeing Leo's eyes under the stage.
“What's that eye expression supposed to mean?"
There was mockery as well as coldness in Leo's eyes. He seemed to be mocking Brooke.
Brooke's eyes suddenly turned sullen. He said with a trembling voice, "One billion!"
That was the most he could afford, and he didn't have extra money.
Although he could call Ernie for more money, he wouldn't dare to do so because Ernie wasn't his father.
People down the stage fell in silence for a short while. No one continued to bid.
So Brooke laughed grimly and said with a hint of crazy arrogance in his tone.
"Leo, | don't know where did you get that many tickets, but you can never beat me because money always prevails!”
Brooke knew something was wrong, but he still believed that Leo's card was from Lydia.
The beautiful auctioneer took the opportunity to count down.
"One billion, going once!"
"Going twice!"
"1.2 billion.”
Just by then, Leo's calm voice suddenly sounded.
A deep shock replaced the smile on Brooke's face.
Millie also turned nervous and asked, "1.2 billion for a small badge. Are you crazy?"
Millie didn't know what the royal families in Valenham stood for. She just felt that the small badge wasn't worth that much.
Leo remained silent, waiting for the auctioneer to count down.
"You've messed up the wrong guy, haven't you?"
Caleb sat on the sofa and mocked, with a beautiful woman cuddling him.
The Grant family didn't participate in the auction, so they couldn't feel the pressure which felt overwhelming to Brooke.
"Shut up!"
Brooke yelled and pulled his hair like going crazy. Big drops of sweat were rolling off from his forehead.
1.2 billion, the whopping bid was way beyond that he could afford. He didn't have that much money.
Just by then, the auctioneer started the countdown.
"1.2 billion, going once!"
"Going twice!”
Brooke stared at Leo's face and wondered if he could really afford the 1.2 billion.
If Leo is pretending, Brooke might persist and borrow some money from Caleb to bid for it; However, if Leo was really that rich, Brooke was going to give up.
Unfortunately, Leo's face remained calm from beginning to end; Brooke failed to tell what was in his mind.
"1.2 billion...!"
Just as the auctioneer was about to hammer down, Brooke made up his mind and made a desperate gamble. "1.5 billion!”
1.5 billion was almost the annual profit of the Palmer Group. He decided to invest all his money to get this badge.
After making the bid, Brooke stared at Leo with bloodshot eyes and waited for him to move.
This time, Leo didn't make another bid. He smiled at Brooke and said, "You won."
"| won...
A hint of joy emerged on Brooke's face. However, before other people reacted, Brooke's stiffened abruptly.
“You are fooling me."
Leo shrugged with an innocent look on his face. "I bid for fun, and I didn't know that you'd compete with me."
As soon as Leo said that, Brooke's pupils dilated. Warm blood surged in his chest, and he became furious.
1.5 billion! He wondered where he could get that much money.
Thud... Thud... Thud...
Just by then, a waiter in suits opened the door and walked in. He smiled at Brooke and said, "Mr. Palmer, how would you like to pay for it?"
Brooke's face turned purple due to bloodshot. He paused for quite a while and finally let out a smile. "Can I pay in installments? I only have 1 billion, and I'll pay the other 500 million within a month."
The waiter still had a polite smile on his face and replied, "No, sir, we don't cover credit here."
Brooke's face turned gloomy when he heard the reply. Now he hated Leo even more.
"1.51 billion."
Just by then, an indifferent voice of a woman came from somewhere in this silent auction site.
Everyone looked over in surprise.
They couldn't believe that there was a third person who was interested in this badge in addition to Leo and Brooke.
“Master, this voice is..."
Nadine's face changed upon hearing that bid.
She immediately looked at Leo.
Leo didn't speak, but his eyes looked thoughtful.
"I didn't expect her to be here, too."
Millie and Sandra were confused, not knowing who Nadine was talking about.
The auctioneer hesitated and then immediately announced, “This lady has bid 1.51 billion. Any higher bids?"
No one responded.
Someone just gave a high bid. The waiter left in a hurry. Brooke slumped on the sofa loudly, with his heart jumping in his
throat.
"Seems that a great woman just came to town..."
Caleb narrowed his eyes and said pointedly.
Brooke came back to his senses and immediately looked to the other box, wondering who had saved his life.
Under the audience's gaze, a graceful woman with a cold face stood up slowly, looking down at others from a condescending height.
“Kate of the Lawson family from Emerdale!"
Someone recognized who she was. The guy's pupils shrank suddenly and exclaimed.
"It was her...?"
Brooke was shocked. For some reason, he had lost the eagerness to compete again when seeing this woman."
A sharp light flashed across Leo's eyes. He couldn't move his eyes away from that lonely and beautiful figure.
Suddenly, Kate turned over and cast a glance at him, too.
The two looked at each other so tensely that the vibe of the auction hall turned hostile.
"1.52 billion!"
After that, Leo spoke again and continued to bid.
Everyone was shocked.
Everyone looked at Leo and Kate in disbelief. For some reason, they thought the guy and the woman might be a perfect match.
“Now I remember! Five years ago, Kate's groom left her at their wedding and was nowhere to be found. The guy was who abandoned her on the wedding night, Leo!"
Suddenly, someone shouted the old story out loudly.
This immediately made everybody even more shocked.
Hopkins Metropolis and Emerdale were close. What happened in one city would soon be spread to the other.
The story of Kate's wedding had also been spread to Hopkins.
What shocked people even more was that Leo was the groom who ran away.
Everyone decided to stay, looking forward to seeing the drama between Leo and Kate. The then-loving couple was now ina bitter feud.
However, after Leo's bid, Kate sat back and gave up the bid.
“Anyone else?"
The beautiful auctioneer also felt the strange vibe here. She didn't dare to joke about it and could only ask tentatively.
No one responded.
Therefore, the host hammered it down.
“Congratulations, Mr. Tang, for obtaining the identity badge of the Cohen Group of the royal families in Valenham!"
Leo fell silent. His eyes turned thoughtful. No one knew what he was thinking.
Kate sat in the box, sipping red wine leisurely, but the man in white sitting next to her had put on a gloomy expression.
“What's that supposed to mean?"
He asked coldly.

Kate put down the glass with a calm expression, "This is an auction, and everyone is eligible to bid. I'm interested in your badge, too."

"If so, why did you stop after adding 10 million?"

The man looked angrier. He raised his hand and was about to slap her.

Kate didn't dodge. She faced her palm and raised her face, waiting to be slapped.

"You are..."

As angry as the man was, he didn't do anything afterward. He warned Kate coldly, "I'm your fiancé. Don't do that ever again!"
He clearly knew Kate's purpose.

Saving Brooke's life was no more than a matter of convenience. Her real purpose was to let Leo get this badge.
