"Yeah, it has been a while since we saw each other last time.
I didn't expect to see you here today,"
Austin responded calmly.
Even though they had broken up, Austin would occasionally think of his ex-girlfriend whom he had been crazy in-love with for three years in college.
After all, she had kept him company during those years. They also had a lot fun together and spent almost every single moment in each other's arms. They had enjoyed their youth well exploring each other and expressing their love for each other in fiery passion.
It was really difficult to erase those unforgettable memories.
But now, Austin was looking at Alice, tightly holding the fat, old man by the arm.
It wasn't hard to notice that the fat old man was almost at her father's age.
At the sight of this, Austin laughed inside. What was he thinking? There was nothing to come back to with Alice. He was finally able to get over Alice and move on.
Alice was no longer that girl he knew and loved. The woman in front of him was after money, and she would do anything she could to lead a comfortable, wealthy life even if it cost her, her pride and dignity.
Having been helplessly in love with Alice for three years, he knew her very well, inside and out. He knew what she liked and disliked, her goals and dreams, her hobbies and even her charities.
The sight of stout, old men like the one she was seeing now, used to disgust her.
But now, she clung onto the old man and acted like a harmless and obedient pet cat.
Ten years ago, Austin had secretly investigated on the fat old man and found that he was a married man with children. Alice was nothing more than an extra on the side—a mistress.
But the fat old man was filthy rich.
According to Austin's investigation, the old man ran a five-star hotel in the Smile City and was also involved in steel and construction industries.
His net worth was at least several hundred million dollars.
Men like him were considered super rich for Austin and Alice ten years ago.
But now money meant nothing to Austin.
If he really wanted to be rich, it would be so easy for him. With all the skills he had at his disposal, he could instantly become the wealthiest person on the planet
He was a brilliant pill refiner when he was in the Prime Martial World back then. Later, he came to the Immortal End World and he had learnt a lot about pill refining.
Once he made some pills that could help people live longer and sold them in the market, he could make a lot of money.
"Austin, I heard that you were in a car accident.
I can't believe you survived that! I'm glad to see you safe and sound now.
By the way, I heard that only ri
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
He looked at Austin with a satisfied and triumphant smile.
Eyeing the people around him, Austin shook his head slightly.
He only spoke to Alice because they had a past together.
But now he thought that talking to her was a mistake and a waste of his time. He even had to put up with the insults thrown at him.
"Fine! Go away then.
Just leave me alone," Austin said with an indifferent expression.
Then he looked away from Alice and continued to enjoy his wine and snacks.
"Austin, you've gone too far!"
Alice was irritated by Austin's indifferent attitude.
"You poor bastard!
Who do you think you are?
How dare you behave so rudely in front of me!
Don't you know that there are some people that you cannot afford to mess with?
For your information, I know the manager of this auction house well.
What's more, I am a top VIP member of this auction house. I will fill your manager in on your rude behavior and tomorrow, consider yourself unemployed!"
the stout old man bellowed as he pointed at Austin.
"Manager! Come over here now!"
the stout man shouted as he caught sight of the manager of the auction house.
"We don't have to come to this. But you leave us with no choice.
Ten years have passed, but you are still that immature and stubborn fool.
Although the salary of the Cassede Auction House is not very high, you don't have much work here. It's perfect for lazy asses like you.
And now you are going to lose your job!
Austin, apologize right now!
If you kneel before him and beg him, he might let it go so you can keep your job,"
Alice said, pretending to feel sorry for Austin.
"What's going on here, Mr. Yang?"
The manager of Cassede Auction House heard the stout man calling to him and strode towards them quickly.
