The guardian's sword by Taking Cigarette novel Chapter 1897

As soon as Keith spoke, a middle-aged businessman immediately raised his auction paddle and shouted excitedly, “I bid 5.2 million dollars for the Two Butterflies painting!”

“I bid 5.3 million!”

“I bid 5.35 million!”

Soon the price had risen to 6.2 million. Besides that, it had not reached the Two Butterflies painting’s real worth, and the price was still increasing.

Gabe suddenly raised his auction paddle and said with a laugh, “I bid 6.3 million!”

Jasmine and Geena both turned to look at Gabe.

Gabe’s income should not be able to afford such an expensive item, but Gabe had just offered his bid, which surprised the two.

“I‘m just joining in the fun. Since I’m here, shouldn’t I show a sense of participation even if I’m only putting on a show?” Gabe said awkwardly to Jasmine, rubbing his hands.

Gabe kept his voice low for fear that others would hear him.

Geena could not help laughing.

Seeing Gabe’s embarrassment, Jasmine said, “You’re doing a great job. You and Derrick are in the government, but you don’t use your power for personal gain. That’s very good. I came to Midwich to start a business. The two of you can help me manage it. I’ll pay you dividends that can more or less subsidize your living expenses.”

Gabe was pleasantly surprised to hear Jasmine’s statement.

As chief of police, Gabe never dared to line his pocket, fearing he would be embarrassed to meet Jasmine one day. However, Jasmine offered him an opportunity to increase his income. It was impossible for him not to be pleasantly surprised!

“Commander, thank you!” Gabe said excitedly.

“It’s no big deal,” Jasmine replied flatly.

Geena took the opportunity to tell Gabe, “Gabe, you’ve underestimated Commander. Commander has businesses in two cities with over 100 billion in assets. Any small amount slipping through his fingers is enough to feed you and Derrick.”

“You haven’t married yet, have you? Gabe, it’s not just you. Derrick and Benji aren’t married either.” Jasmine asked, looking at Gabe.
