Summon Of The Sword 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!"

Sean and Zander 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 Sean, rubbing his hands.

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

Zander could not help laughing.

Seeing Gabe's embarrassment, Sean 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 Sean's statement.

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

"You haven't married yet, have you? Gabe, it's not just you. Derrick and Benji aren't married either." Sean asked, looking at Gabe.

"Yeah, we haven't gotten married."

Gabe said, rubbing his hands awkwardly.

Gabe, Derrick, and Benji were about the same age, about 25 and 26 years old. They were also old enough to get married.

"Hurry up, Gabe," Sean joked.

"Mr. Lennon, aren't you not married too?" Gabe asked with a smile.

Sean looked away and said nothing. Gabe shut up and stopped talking nonsense too. It would be troublesome if he pissed Sean off.
