Chapter 134 Payback Time

Someone immediately topped Marcus.

“Five hundred ten million dollars!”

“Five hundred twenty million dollars!” Marcus raised again.

The other bidder matched without hesitation.

“Five hundred thirty million dollars!”

Marcus frowned and tracked the voice to a middle-aged man he didn’t recognize. “Sir/you keep bidding against me. Is this a deliberate slight to my family?”

The man smiled amiably, “Your family needs the elixir. So does mine.

“As for your family’s standing-frankly, it doesn’t carry much weight with me. I’m Leroy Elijah of the Tiger Head Society. If the Winters have a problem with this, you know where to find me.”

Gasps rippled through the room.

Leroy, vice chairman of the Tiger Head Society, was second only to the chairman. A man who smiled as he spoke, and smiled as he struck-all without changing expression. Behind that friendly face lurked a brutal, bloodthirsty nature.

Marcus’ face went rigid. He’d heard of Leroy. Even his family wouldn’t want to cross someone like him. Besides, Leroy was a Level 9 Hidden Sect Realm cultivator-one step away from a Transformed Sect Grandmaster. Backed by the Tiger Head Society and its ties to the Dragon Sea Chamber of Commerce, he had nothing to fear from the Winters.

Marcus forced a smile and cupped his hands.

“Mr. Elijah. An honor.”

Leroy snorted and ignored him. If the head of the Winter family were here, maybe he’d show some courtesy. But a spoiled brat like Marcus? Not worth his time.

No one else bid after that. Partly respect for Leroy, partly fear of the Tiger Head Society.

The third elixir went to Leroy for five hundred thirty million dollars.

Hazel’s voice rang out.

“Ladies and gentlemen-our final Quintessence Elixir!”

Marcus’ eyes hardened. This last one-he had to have it.

Bidding for the final Quintessence Elixir grew even more intense. It was the last one-there would be no second chances.

Marcus went all in, eyes bloodshot, bidding frantically, determined to win at any cost.

He finally shouted a price that silenced the room.

“Six hundred million dollars!”

Few could casually drop six hundred million dollars in cash. And Marcus’ desperate bidding made it clear the Winters were behind him. As the top of the four major elite families, their wealth was formidable. No point fighting a losing battle.

Seeing no more bids, Marcus exhaled. Sweat coated his palms.

Hazel scanned the room.

“Six hundred million dollars-going once. Any higher?”

Silence fell. The price was staggering, and elixirs didn’t guarantee a breakthrough for everyone. The other bidders had fallen silent.

Hazel began the countdown.

“Going twice..

Marcus smiled. It was his.

Then a voice cut through the silence.

“Six hundred fifty million dollars!”

Everyone present froze. He’d raised the bid by fifty million in a single call, showing no fear of the Winters at all. Everyone wondered just who he could be.

All eyes turned.

It was none other than Stefan holding up the bidding paddle.

“Who’s that? Don’t recognize him.”

“That’s Stefan-the ex-con who’s been making waves in River City lately. Somehow ended up engaged to that Stewart girl.”

“Oh-the one who married into the Stewart family? Ex-con, married in. Where’d he get that kind of money?”
