The Rodriguez family villa, east of town.
Owen Sanchez asked on the way, “Mr. Mason, how’s the auction going? Is it going well?”
“Yes, it is.”
Sean said casually.
Owen Sanchez asked, “That $3 billion isn’t enough, is it?”
He knew the answer. After all, Sean went to the auction using his bank card, and his phone got a text alert for every cash transfer on his card.
“Don’t you know?”
Sean looked at him with cold eyes, sure he knew what he was thinking.
Owen Sanchez hastened to say, “I did get messages, but…I’ve received a lot of text messages, and it’s all billions of dollars, and it ended up with more than 120 billion being transferred directly at one time!”
“It’s...”
“Mr. Mason, Ladies Star Grass is just an herb, although it is a rare medicine. A few billion is a lot. How can it be worth more than 100 billion?”
It was way too expensive!
For someone with only ten thousand dollars, a million was almost an untouchable number. Similarly, for Owen Sanchez, who was worth 10 billion, more than 100 billion was also an unimaginable price!
The contrast was stark.
Otherwise, when Sean and the young man of number 12 went back and forth at the auction and raised the bidding price to over $100 billion, they wouldn’t have freaked out the billionaires.
“There’s been an accident.”
Sean still mentioned it casually, without much explanation. For one thing, he wasn’t in the mood, and for another, Owen Sanchez wasn’t Zackary Campbell, and there was no need to tell him about the young man in Number 12 and the Golden Price List.
“Oh.”
Owen Sanchez paused, his heart bleeding silently. He was thinking, “It looks like the $3 billion is really gone. This is the end. The Sanchez Group is in danger.”
Sean said suddenly, “When I’m done with the Rodriguez family, I’ll pay you back every penny of your money.”
“What?”
Owen Sanchez gasped and shook his head, “No, no, no, Mr. Mason, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean that, but I would be happy if you would kindly spare my son’s life.”
Three billion was a lot, but compared to Luis Sanchez’s life, it was worth it!
Sean said, “Whatever happened between me and Luis Sanchez, it’s over.”
“Thank you, Mr. Mason, thank you.”
Owen Sanchez was overjoyed and said a lot of thank you. He saw Sean’s face was sullen and took the opportunity to say, “Don’t worry, Mr. Mason. With Mr. Campbell, you, and me and Mr. Brain, we can beat the Rodriguez family.”
“There’s no deed.”
Sean, however, shook his head and said, “When we get to the Rodriguez family, you and Mr. Brain stay out of my business. I can handle it myself. Just keep Cornelia safe for me.”
“How is that possible? I…”
Owen Sanchez was in high spirits, about to say something tough. Sean interrupted him with an impatient look on his face and said coldly, “Shawn Rodriguez has not only my grandma and grandpa in custody, but Also Luis Sanchez, and if you and Mr. Brain get involved, Luis Sanchez will die.”
“What?”
Owen Sanchez was completely stunned.
Mr. Brain shook his hand on the steering wheel. He asked, “Are you serious, Mr. Mason?”
“This is from the Campbell family. It must be true.”
Sean nodded and said, “All Shawn Rodriguez wanted to do was threaten the life of Luis Sanchez to keep Mr. Brain from helping me. So, don’t hesitate to say yes.”
“But…”
Owen Sanchez and Mr. Brain looked at each other, speechless.
They couldn’t say anything about leaving Luis Sanchez for Sean. But it was not kind of them to sit and watch.
Cornelia was sitting next to Sean and listening to the conversation between Sean and Owen Sanchez. She didn’t know the context and was confused. However, from Owen Sanchez’s almost deferential attitude towards Sean, she could tell that this man was a real badass!
Cornelia felt a little more reassured and she asked, “Sean, you can save Dean and Gemma, right?”
“Yes!”
Sean nodded, took Cornelia’s hand, and said, “Absolutely!”
The journey took nearly half an hour.
It was 4:27 p.m. when Mr. Brain parked the Rolls-Royce outside the Rodriguez family villa. As the Campbell family had reported earlier, the door to the Rodriguez family villa was open and empty.
Unguarded!
As soon as Sean and others got off the car, two Campbell family members who were watching the Rodriguez family came up to Zackary Campbell and said, “Mr. Campbell, a few more of the Rodriguez’s Masters of Dark Energy just returned to the villa, and I think most of them are back.”
Zackary Campbell looked over at Sean.
Sean held the Wolf’s Massacre in his hands and said without hesitation, “Let’s go inside.”
He took the lead and walked into the Rodriguez family villa.
“Follow him!”
Zackary Campbell waved his hand, and a dozen of the Campbell family’s Masters of Dark Energy followed Sean, waiting for them.
The Rodriguez family was worth over $100 billion, making it one of the top three in the Crane Town. The villas were also luxurious. Although not as good as Cloudy Villa of the Campbell family’s, they were similar.
It had everything a villa should have.
The air was filled with sweet smells of flowers. They heard the sounds of birds singing. But they could see no one, they could hear no one, and the house was dead still.
Sean’s perception was extremely acute. When his ears moved, he turned and looked across at the main building, saying, “Over there!”
Sure enough!
When they walked across half of the villa came to the front of the main building, far away, they saw a lot of people were gathered on the large open space outside the main building and there were about one hundred of them.
Of course, more than half of them were not Masters of Dark Energy!
Even so, when there were hundreds of people together, looking at each other fiercely, it looked terrifying!
Cornelia grabbed Sean’s hand, subconsciously tightening it. Sean could tell she was nervous and her palms were sweaty. After all, she was only a weak girl, and a recent college graduate.
How could she have seen something like this?
“Don’t be afraid.”
Sean said quietly, “You stay with Mr. Campbell and Mr. Sanchez. Don’t move.”
“Ok.”
Cornelia said with concern, “You must be careful…”
When he was a dozen meters away from the hundred people, Sean stopped, released Cornelia, and held the Wolf’s Massacre in one hand. Then he snorted, “tell Shawn Rodriguez to get his ass out of here!”
When Sean spoke, the Dark Energy in his body was released. And his sound was like thunder.
Hundreds of men on the other side took up arms and stood ready.
