Chad frowned when he heard Matilda's bid.What was that foolish girl thinking? Was she afraid others would not realize she wanted to bid on those two items?He was perplexed as to why the Guild of Eternal Life would allow her to represent them."Ah? Did I bid too early? I'm sorry. My apologies."Matilda realized she had spoken too quickly.She even stood up and bowed to the entire audience to apologize.Chad had a sudden realization and could not help but pursed his lips.Chad, who had previously shared a bed with her, knew Matilda did everything intentionally.Matilda frequently used that tactic to attract attention deliberately.With that, everyone at the auction would know that Bellenuite's former president had performed ridiculously at the charity auction.However, all publicity would be good publicity.After Matilda sat down, she looked very pleased, but Marilyn was perplexed.Chad could not help but ask quietly, "Is it fun?""It's fun. This way, more people will lear

"What do you mean by that? Am I not her master's ex-wife? I want to start a business; is it not appropriate for me to seek funding from her?" Chad did not expect Matilda to respond so confidently.What was more infuriating was that Raine nodded in agreement with Matilda's words.However, Chad did not care. He was so angry that he stood up to leave. However, Raine interrupted him, saying, "Master, whenever you have time, I'd like you to give me some guidance again."Before Chad could respond, Matilda jumped in and said, "Raine, remember my contact information. When you want to see your master, call me! I'll make sure he won't say no!""You!" Chad considered arguing but decided against it. After all, Grayson was waving at him.His base at the Hall of Herbs had been essentially destroyed, which was too great a loss for him.After Chad had left, Matilda whispered to Raine.Raine looked surprised when she heard it. She covered her mouth in surprise and hugged Matilda, exclaiming, "I'

Ding-ding!Beep-beep!Dong-dong!Various notification sounds echoed throughout Pine City.All Roggan members received a message consisting of one word. [Begin!]At that moment, those people converged from all directions near the main branch of the Pine City Bank.They had only one objective—they would swap them out before the two pieces of blue and white porcelain pieces officially entered the main branch.Accidents, traffic jams, and even large-scale brawls occurred along the convoy's prearranged route and the two alternative routes.However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the parties involved in the accidents were all members of Roggan.The masterminds behind the traffic jams were also members of Roggan.Even the fierce-looking participants in the brawls appeared to be members of Roggan.Following its departure from Serenity Academy, the vehicle transporting auction items fell into Roggan's trap.The driver developed diarrhea unexpectedly, so he was replac

"I'm sure you're surprised! Everyone who dies at my hands has the same expression," Jade said proudly.Only then did Chad realize the Jade outside the door lacked an aura. In other words, the Jade outside was simply a puppet.Chad immediately thought of a possibility and exclaimed, "You're a puppeteer!"Jade was surprised to learn that Chad knew about puppeteers."You're actually familiar with puppeteers. It appears you have some background. However, this is unfortunate. You're still going to die!" Jade said as both Jades launched simultaneous attacks on Chad.With limited space around him, Chad could only buy some time through dialogue, but it was still not enough to devise a plan.Despite her thin frame, Jade moved like a cat. In an instant, both the puppet and Jade slipped past Chad.Chad reacted quickly, retreating to the corner and crossing his arms to cover his vital points.At the same time, he used Mountain Fist techniques to channel his internal energy into his arms, a

"I hit it off with him, and we got together soon after. It was a very happy time for us!"Linda tidied the items in the car while speaking, removing traces of her presence.That included the car's recorder.Terry tried desperately to hold on, but his heart had been stabbed. He knew he would not survive.At the time, he was struggling to breathe, knowing that if Linda pulled the knife out, he would immediately die.However, Linda did not do that. Instead, she continued to speak."I got pregnant about half a year after I started seeing him. But your family also came with a marriage proposal. I refused at the time, so I informed my family about the pregnancy. Then... and then..."Linda choked, and her hands stopped moving.She took a few deep breaths before proceeding."The next day, he died! It was a car accident, which I knew was planned by the family. Then our marriage was arranged, and we were married quickly." Linda then kissed Terry on the forehead."Eventually, Luke was b
