It's night.

Dressed in a suit and bow tie, Azu sat in a black luxury car and was heading to the highest auction house in the Federation.

It was the largest auction house in New York, and the auction of things was often tens of millions, even if it exceeded 100 million, it was not an unusual thing.

Tonight, Angelina will attend the evening auction with the president of the Kaiden Group.

At that time, the auction house will auction off a piece of space, and Angelina intends to auction it off for use as Azu's private experimental base.

She had already gone to the auction house to prepare, and Azu was not in a hurry, and after dinner, she went to the auction house slowly.

With the suit bracelet provided by Su Rui, Azu doesn't have to wear the suit on his body all the time.

So tonight, he doesn't plan to participate in the auction as a native either.

Instead, he asked Angelina to write him an invitation using the name 'John'.

Normal.

As long as they don't have a special hobby, who likes to run around in that tight suit all day long.

That thing is not as comfortable to wear as ordinary clothes, and the problem of breathability alone makes Azu not like it very much.

In the past, there was no way, but now that he has Wakanda's vibranium suit, he can become a 'motherlander' at any time, so he is unwilling to put himself in the suit all the time.

Holding a piece of information provided by Angelina, Azu glanced at it casually.

There weren't many people who attended the auction in the evening, but they were all people with heads and faces.

Like Arnold, the president of Olga's company, was among them.

In addition, there are some big groups, big families.

Among them is a giant from Italy, Christ. Hank.

The Crist family has been in business for many years, with a deep heritage, and the wealth far exceeds that of Angelina's father.

Of course, a family member is unable to mobilize all the property, and this 'Christ. Hank' wasn't the heir to that family.

But his arrival shows that the Crist family intends to enter the federal development.

When he put down the materials, Azu looked out the window, and the highest auction office of the Federation arrived.

The auction house was built like a Greek palace, with a statue towering over the large square outside.

Azu got out of the car and entered the reception hall of the auction house.

Because the auction has not yet started, all the people who come to participate in the auction are basically gathered in this hall.

The people who came to the auction tonight were not simple people, and looking at the past, the brightly lit hall was full of well-dressed men and women's long skirts mopping the floor.

There are not only the presidents of the group, but also the hidden rich from which big families.

Whether it's dressing or the decorations on your body, if you change your outfit into numbers, it will inevitably make people lose their glasses.

The suit on Azu's body is also expensive, but the price is far from that of most of the custom-made clothes made by famous Italian artists.

On the contrary, he wore the 'Traveler's Ring' on his hand, and the sapphire also emitted a faint blue light in the brilliant light, which was truly extraordinary.

Compared with the rings and watches worn by men, it is invisibly a notch.

In the reception hall, men and women formed small circles, and from time to time there was a low smile, and it was obvious that they knew each other.

Although everyone is a rival when they come to the auction, no one wants to miss the opportunity to show their connections and meet more friends at this time.

Azu didn't see Angelina, so he walked to the corner in a low-key manner, took a glass of champagne at random, and waited for the auction to start.

In the hall, everyone has their own circle, and there is no one like Azu.

So when people looked at him, they all cast all kinds of meaningful glances.

Azu didn't pay attention to those eyes at all, even if some of them seemed to question how someone like him could appear on such an occasion.

At this time, a deep voice sounded: "Get out of the way!" ”

Then someone pressed on Azu's shoulder, trying to push him away.

However.

How can it be pushed.

Azu didn't move, and even took a sip of champagne before slowly looking at the man who pushed him away.

This sturdy Caucasian man, his full muscles are all outlined in the suit, wearing black sunglasses, Bluetooth headphones, and looks like he is either a bodyguard or an assistant.

He probably didn't expect that he couldn't push Azu away, so he was stunned, but unfortunately he was wearing sunglasses and couldn't see his eyes clearly.

The man said impatiently, "Tell you to give way, do you hear." ”

"If you get in the way of Mr. Hank, you're going to be in trouble."

His words rang out in the hall, and many people looked at it.

Before Azu could speak, he heard someone from behind him come out and say, "Sir, please step aside." ”

"Next to enter the hall is Christ. Mr. Hank, Mr. Hank does not want to be disturbed before attending the auction. ”

Azu looked back.

It turned out to be a hall manager, and on the sign on his chest, there was the name of the other party: Berkeley. Lauder.

Azu laughed: "What, isn't he unsightly?" ”

Suddenly, many ladies in the hall laughed.

A few men also smiled kindly, but more of them shook their heads, feeling that Azu didn't know how thick the sky was.

Hall Manager Berkeley. Lauder thought to himself, how could there be such a stupid person.

Then I thought that the Christe family was an Italian giant, and the people who knew it in the federation were big names.

It's not surprising that this guy in front of me who looks a little kind-looking, but is dressed in 'ordinary' clothes, doesn't know.

The hall manager said in a deep voice: "Sir, please don't be vexatious. ”

Azu laughed: "I'm here to participate in the auction, strictly speaking, I'm also a guest of yours." ”

"I'm just standing here drinking champagne, why am I making a fuss."

At this time, the bodyguards of the Crist family were already impatient: "Mr. Hank is coming. ”

The hall manager hurriedly laughed and said, "I'll deal with it soon." ”

He looked at Azu: "Sir, do you have an invitation?" ”

"Our auction tonight is not open to the public, and only those who have received an invitation will be able to attend the auction."

Azu took out the invitation letter that Angelina had given him from his pocket and handed it over.

The hall manager took it and opened it, looked at the name 'John' written on it, and asked the backstage to check it, and it turned out that there was indeed such a person.

But after glancing at the bodyguards of the Crist family, the hall manager tore up the invitation letter in two or two clicks: "I think someone should have made a mistake, sorry, Mr. John, you are not on the invitation list." ”

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

"You can't buy the auction house to get in, right?"

"I've heard that some people nowadays pay to buy off insiders in various high-end places in order to do the business of rich people, so that they can enter and leave the places and take the opportunity to get close to those rich people."

"I really can't see that anyone would do such a thing now."

"You can tell by his attire who will wear something from the store when he comes to an auction of this grade."

The hall manager raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "Mr. John, please come here." ”

He whispered, "Please don't let me call security." ”

The corners of Azu's mouth raised, and a bright smile appeared: "Of course you don't need to call a security guard." ”

He was about to pinch to death this ant that dared to do something bad to him, when he heard Angelina's voice.

"Mr. John is my invited guest."

"Who dares to let him go!"

The eyes in the hall looked ahead, and Angelina, dressed in full costume, walked like a queen.

Recently, as the successor of Kaiden Group, he is also the vice president of Walt Company.

Angelina, a young girl, enters the world of federal high society and becomes the center of attention.

Now hearing her say that the man in front of her was invited by her, the hall manager suddenly looked ugly, after all, he had just torn up the invitation letter from the other party.

"Lady Angelina, please listen to me."

Angelina walked over, bowed slightly to Azu, and then looked at the hall manager's badge.

Berkeley. Mr. Lauder. ”

"You can go."

"I'll protest to the auction house later, as a hall manager, I'm so rude to my friend."

"This is a major dereliction of duty!"

The hall manager suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, if Angelina really did this, it is conceivable that the auction house would definitely fire him.

Angelina then looked at Azu and smiled, "Lord John, please forgive me for being late. ”

"Please come with me, we can get in early."

Azu nodded, looked at the hall manager, and said from the bottom of his heart, "You are so lucky, Mr. Berkeley, you have to thank this young lady." ”

If Angelina hadn't shown up, Mr. Berkeley wouldn't have lost his job.

As for whether the hall manager knew that he had come back from a walk around the Ghost Gate tonight, Azu didn't care.

But just as they were about to leave, a voice rang out from behind.

"Mr. Berkeley didn't mean it, Miss Angelina, you're making too much of a fuss, aren't you?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Berkeley, I'll explain the situation to the auction house later."

"You'll be fine."

Azu looked back and turned out to be a rather young man, in his early twenties, blonde and blue-eyed, with an Italian accent.

Angelina whispered, "He's Christ. Hank, too, is our biggest rival in tonight's bid. ”

Crist. Hank looked at Azu again.

"Who is this gentleman?"

"It must not be easy for you to be able to greet Miss Angelina so respectfully."

"But strangely, I don't know you."

Azu smiled, put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked forward, not wanting to communicate with him at all.

Angelina followed, and was also not willing to make friends with the Crist family.

The young man who was left to hang touched his nose and said with a dry smile: "It seems that I am being underestimated." ”

"In this way, I have to start with the venue at night."

"After buying it, it will be built into a hotel, as well as a chain shopping mall in the surrounding area. With this as a bridgehead for our Christ family to enter the Federation, this battle must not be lost! ”

Next to it, because Crist. Hank, the hall manager who had kept his job, now respectfully invited the young man to follow him to the auction hall.

Moments later, the auction began, and after all the guests in the hall had left, Arnold of Olga's company was late.

Although his body was thinner than before, Arnold's face was unusually ruddy, and he walked as he walked.

"This is the federal auction house I told you, I checked, and there is a woman named Angelina among the guests tonight."

"She seems to be very close to the motherland, and when she was assassinated and injured in the Tower of Seven not long ago, the motherland rescued her and healed her."

"So, if you can possess her, I think there should be a good chance that you can find the motherland."

Next to him, there was a black bodyguard, who was wearing sunglasses and said with a cold expression.

"It's best what you say."

The two of them walked to the hall as they walked.

At this time, if someone takes off the bodyguard's sunglasses, they will see that this black man is now looking frightened.

He doesn't seem to be able to control his body and his words and actions.

At this time, the auction has already begun.

First up for auction is a piece of jewelry, which is said to have been worn by the princesses of the kings of France in the Middle Ages.

As soon as this piece of jewelry came to power, there was a lot of competition from many people, and eventually, the largest jeweler in the Federation, Harry. Winston. Wright photographed the gemstone necklace titled 'God's Providence'.

Wright, 48, is the owner of Harry Brown, the top jewelry company in the Commonwealth. Winston's boss.

The auction was also made in preparation for the 'World Jewellery Exhibition', which will be jointly organized by jewelers from all over the world in the near future.

Immediately after that, the auction house auctioned several items one after another, some of which were sold and some of which failed.

Half an hour later.

The moderator cleared his throat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is for a venue in Southampton, New York."

Before the host finished the introduction, someone held up a sign: "500 million." ”

The host was stunned.

Then a pair of eyes looked towards the person holding the card.

The person holding the sign is none other than Christ. Hank's assistant.

It immediately caused quite a commotion.

Tonight, when people saw the members of this large family coming, they all knew that the Crist family was interested in entering the federal business circle.

But unexpectedly, Crist. As soon as Hank came, he offered a high price of 500 million yuan and auctioned off a venue.

But before the host struck the hammer, he heard a crisp female voice: "I, out of 1 billion." ”

Immediately, the whole venue was in an uproar.

People looked at it one after another, and the person who raised the price was Angelina in full costume.

Some people with eyes couldn't help but communicate.

"That young lady actually held up the card herself, and with her identity, she didn't have to go into battle in person at all."

"That can only be said that she is holding up a card for someone else, and someone else, someone higher than her?"

Under such speculation, some people looked towards Azu.

Crist. Hank's face did not change, and he smiled and nodded to the assistant.

His assistant held up a sign and said, "1.2 billion." ”

Before the words fell, Angelina didn't even think about it, so she held up the sign: "1.5 billion." ”

Crist's color finally changed, and he looked at the accountant next to him, who wiped the sweat from his face with a handkerchief.

"Sir, if it exceeds 1.5 billion, this site will not have value."

"But we can't be beaten down the first time we appear."

Crist glanced at the assistant and gestured.

The assistant nodded and said in a loud voice: "2 billion." ”

Crist is ready for a quick fix.

But at this time, Angelina leisurely held up the sign: "2.3 billion." ”

"It's crazy, this woman is offering such a high price."

"It's determined to fight against the Crist family."

"Is this possible?"

Crist's face was gloomy, he adjusted slightly, then stood up and smiled.

"Lady Angelina, if you are willing to give me this piece of land, the Crist family will thank you."

Angelina didn't even look at him, so she held up the sign and said, "2.5 billion." ”

Crist only felt as if he had been slapped in the face, and his face was hot.

He snorted and said in a deep voice: "Miss Angelina, since you don't want to let go, then I can only accompany you to the end." ”

Azu over there frowned and looked at Christ lightly. Hank glanced.

The latter was about to sit down, but suddenly his whole body stiffened, and then laughed.

"With all due respect, in front of us in the Crist family, all of you here are only worthy of lifting our shoes."

"You should be honored and grateful that I am sitting with you people today."

"After all, there aren't many opportunities like this, and I'm not going to say it politely, if you want to be an enemy of our family, you'd better weigh yourself first."

"Don't be a clown."

Suddenly, Crist's words offended all the people in the hall.

The jeweler, who had just photographed the 'Providence of God', stood up and said in a deep voice, "Although the Crister family has a rich background, don't you think you are too arrogant, Mr. Hank? ”

An old man also snorted and stood up: "Young man, even if your father is here, he doesn't dare to talk to us like this. ”

"You don't have a lot of guts."

Someone even pointed at Christ. Hank shouted, "You're not welcome here, please get out!" ”

The organizers were at a loss, neither the Crist family nor anyone else wanted to offend.

At this time, I didn't dare to stand in line.

Christ's eyes rolled, his face sweating with anxiety, but he still laughed.

"You're yelling at me too?"

"What are you?"

"I urge you to apologize to me quickly, or we in the Crist family will see you as enemies."

Now, even Christ. The people Hank brought were dumbfounded.

They don't know what their boss is crazy about, it doesn't matter if they say these words behind their backs, and if they say it on such an occasion, are they afraid that the Crist family will not have enough enemies?

And these words completely angered the guests in the venue, and in the end, the people in the auction house saw that the situation was not right, so they could only go down the stage and ask Christ. Hank goes to the lounge to rest.

"No!"

At this time, Christ. Hank exclaimed suddenly.

"That's not what I wanted to say."

"I'm being controlled!"

"Who is it, stand up!"

It's good that he doesn't say these words, but when he says them, people think of him as a psychopath.

Finally, Crist. Hank was 'invited' out of the hall, and the space naturally fell into Angelina's or Azu's pocket.

After filming the scene, Angelina looked at Azu, and although she had no evidence, her intuition told her that Azu might have done it.

The master is really getting better and better, in every way.

At the back of the hall, Arnold chuckled, "The Crist's face is disgraced this time. ”

He looked at the black bodyguard sitting next to him again: "Don't you act?" ”

Arnold's gaze fell on Angelina in front of her.

The black bodyguard sitting next to him said in a deep voice.

"My instincts tell me that it would be dangerous to approach her rashly now."

Arnold was stunned: "What danger will there be?" ”

The black bodyguard shook his head: "I don't know, but I trust my instincts, and it has kept me alive." ”

Arnold shrugged his shoulders: "Then whatever you want." ”
