Later, Gideon joined an underworld alliance, beginning from being the lowest–level subordinate to being valued by the alliance’s boss and becoming his adopted son
In the end, the boss died in a car accident with his three family members.
With that, Gideon took over the underworld alliance completely and became the boss of Elstunda’s biggest underworld
ang.
The hardships, along with the twists and turns that were experienced by Gideon, could not be explained in only a few words.
Maybe only Gideon himself knew how it felt.
It was now seven o’clock in the evening. The auction officially started at the underground auction house.
The auction house was overcrowded today. It had not been so lively as such for a long time.
It seemed that the auction of the Sleeping Stone had attracted many people to show up.
This time, the underground auction house also brought out many rare and exotic items to make a big fortune tonight, and the Sleeping Stone would be the last item to be auctioned.
The underground auction house had two floors in total. There were auction items in the middle of the first floor, with ordinary customers sitting around them.
On the other hand, every private box on the second floor was occupied by VIP customers.
The whole auction house was in a circular shape, and the auction items were placed in the middle. The location on the second floor was undoubtedly the best angle to see the items.
Francis took Samantha to a private box on the second floor, facing the auction items
Obviously, the space was reserved for top VIPs among the VIPs.
As soon as Samantha entered the auction house, she glanced around and roughly knew the hidden forces at the auction.
Thus, she acted like a nonchalant hedonist again.

Today, not only Yarris but also another unfamiliar face came with Francis.
The person looked quite alike to Yarris, and he was called Yosef

Francis had four main suboolinates, Yvan, Yarris, Yves, and Yosel.
They were quadruplets who had been aided by Francis.
They had been learning and growing with Francis, staying by the latter’s side since childhood.
However, the only sidekick that everyone could see and know
is Yarris, who publicly stayed by Francis‘ side.
Yarris, obviously skilled in physical combat, only existed as an ordinary driver.
As for the other three brothers of Yarris, they were all sent out to secretly run Francis‘ forces.
Their skills were also stronger than the others.
Not long after, the auction officially began.
The first auction item was an antique piano, starting from 20,000 dollars.
It was said that the piano was created five hundred years ago, and the carved flowers on the item were exquisite and well preserved, which were very valuable for collection.
Since it was the first auction item, everyone was not that interested in it.
Only a few people who loved antique pianos were bidding for the item.
Finally, the piano for auctioned for 400 thousand dollars.
Samantha drank her coffee with boredom. She was still feeling unconcerned when looking at the auction items being sold one after another.
Suddenly, when the fifth auction item was presented, Samantha instantly sat upright.
It was a necklace.
The whole necklace was decorated with rubies, which made it dazzling.
The host described the item, “Legend has it that this is a ruby once worn by the empress. It was made by the emperor himself for her, which represents loyalty and unswerving love. It also symbolizes nobleness. I believed that those who loved gems could see the preciousness of this necklace at a glance. Next, we will start with 200 thousand dollars!”
*400 thousand dollars! Someone immediately bid for it.
“600 thousand dollars.”
700 thousand dollars.”
*800 thousand dollars”
With the appearance of this necklace, the excitement within the crowd was stirred to the extreme.
A clear female voice sounded, “2 million dollars.”
She directly bid the price from 800 thousand dollars to 2 million dollars, which instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
Everyone glanced in the direction of the emitted sound source from the second floor.
A young lady was holding a sign with a determined smile on her face.
Looking closely, the lady was very beautiful,

Everyone could not help but look at her a few more times, even forgetting to raise the bid.
Of course, there were also some people who thought 2 million dollars was already too high for them to bid further.
It was not worth buying this necklace at such a high price.
The host smiled and was on cloud nine. Obviously, he did not expect this necklace could be bid to millions of dollars.
2 million dollars, going once.”
“2 million dollars, going twice.”
Just when the host was about to end the bidding with a final call, a man’s voice suddenly sounded, “3 million dollars.”
The crowd took a deep breath again.
Samantha narrowed her eyes and looked towards the man.
She did not expect it to be Gideon.
She thought, “How dare he snatches my stuff before me blatantly? He even dares to smile at me!”
Samantha got angry.
She immediately bid, “3.6 million dollars.”
The host was stunned.
56%
Gideon countered, “3.8 million dollars.”
Samantha continued, “4 million dollars.”
Gideon kept bidding. “5 million dollars.”
The host kept silent and thought, “They are really indeed some big shots that they could bid however high they want.”
Samantha’s eyes reddened with anger. However, she did not raise her bid anymore.
She had no choice but to stop as she only had 2 million dollars in her hand and had already increased the bid to 4 million dollars without thinking further.
If she kept bidding higher, she would also feel that the necklace would not be worth the price anymore.
After all, she was no longer the nouveau riche that could spend money at will just from earning with bank interest.
Francis asked, “Why aren’t you raising the bid?”
Samantha pursed her lips. “I don’t have enough money
Yarris was speechless. He thought, “Samantha! Do you know you’re actually holding Boss’s sign to bid? You’ve already bid 4 million dollars, and now you’re telling us you don’t have enough money? Do you know that my heart was about to leap out Frogn fear just now?”
However, the next second, his heart was really about to leap out from fear.
He saw Francis take the sign from Samantha’s hand and lift it up
Francis said, “ü million dollars”

Chapter 76
The fifth auction item was just a ruby necklace, but its bidding price had already reached 6 million dollars.
It was obvious that there were so many big shots at the auctio alay,
At this moment, Francis and Gideon looked at each other.
There was only one private box between them. Therefore, their distance was close enough for them to notice the micros expressions on each other’s faces clearly
“6 million dollars, going once.”
“6 million dollars, going twice…”
With the host’s voice, Gideon suddenly waved his hand, signaling that he had given up on the auction item.
Then, the host ended the bidding.
“6 million dollars for the ruby necklace. Sold!”
There was a burst of applause at the scene.
Yarris felt pain all over his body.
He looked at Samantha with a resentful gaze.
However, Samantha still felt strange at that moment.
She said. “Why did you spend so much money on this necklace! Gideon obviously deliberately raised the bid. I guess that he might be the owner of this underground auction house.”
Francis smiled lightly, “You’re right. Indeed, he owns this place.
Then, how can you be so stupid to let him have the money? This necklace is obviously not worth 6 million dollars: Samantha glanced at Francis.
Francis smiled softly instead and said in a mellow voice, “Since you like the necklace, it’s worth it.”
Yarris was speechless. He thought, “It’s not worth it at all! It hurts to see you spend so much on a necklace! People in love are all fools!”
