Chapter 178: SOLD!

Chapter 178: SOLD!

No one could make a sound even after the recording was over. People were watching with their mouths agape, but the most drastic change happened to Nicholas Holmes. His face changed color from purple to red. He wanted to refute but didnt know how.

Pfft! A gasp sounded in the silent room and everyone turned to look who could dare to laugh. It was from the front seat, and the one laughing was a handsome man with blue eyes.

Hahaha. I never thought I would laugh so hard on such an important evening. Merlin was laughing with tears in his eyes. His mood affected everyone, and people one after another started to chuckle. Those who didnt dare giggled silently.

People watching the event from their homes were also laughing. Some living in slums and living poorly even felt thankful for Marooners words. He didnt change anything nor had he helped them, but he at least pointed out their hypocrisy to everyone. Also, from Marooners words, some could understand he was also like them and grew up only by relying on himself.

He is obviously somewhere here since he pointed at me by finger! Show yourself if you dare! Nicholas Holmes was raging! In the recording, Marooner said it was one of the three families and emphasized Holmes's family. There was no way he could have predicted something like that. So, Nicholas thought Marooner should be hiding backstage, and the recording was just a live stream.

Mr. Holmes must have his mind clouded with anger. Have you not seen the date on the bottom right of the screen? The record was a week old. Merlin pointed at the now stopped screen and the date on the right bottom corner was really showing when the video was recorded. Since there was an authentication code at the top left, it must be a recording and not a live stream. Miles really had predicted Nicholass action. He was suspecting one of the three families, and even if he couldnt he wouldnt be afraid of any families, since his identity was hidden.

Of course, it wasnt just luck. It was his deduction on families and the reminder of Ryu Shin that helped him filter three families. In the end, he was correct, and he was able to send his message successfully.

Cut the crap, if you wanna buy just buy it. As long as you dont donate half of your assets, then dont pretend like you are hot shit. The message might be tenderized, but the meaning was clear.

And, Mr. Holmes, what is your answer to Mr. Marooner? Ryu Shin nailed the coffin without any mercy. He didnt like that rich and pretentious man in the first place. That is why he reminded Marooner that the Holmes family might create some trouble. And to his surprise, Marooner humiliated Nicholas. He was delighted.

Orb brought Evelyn Cross in a tray by Mae, and she thanked her with a smile. She held the orb and said, Abel, can you charge it please. With a spark, liquid melted and formed a dagger. The dagger was purplish-green just like on the screen, and she could see it was a dual elemental orb.

This is the first step. Evelyn held it with an excited look. Ms. Cross, can you follow me backstage alone please, Mae said, and looked at her.

Malcolm and Mercer frowned, but then relaxed. The Shin family were their friends, so there shouldnt be any problem. Evelyn nodded and followed them back. Ryu Shin was waiting there in front of a door.

When Evelyn reached, he said, Marooner left us two items. One was the orb, and the second was a piece of paper. His request was, if you were to buy the orb, you could take a look at the paper, but if anyone else were to buy it we were to destroy the paper. I gave him my word. The paper is inside the room, but is for your eyes only. Ryu Shin gestured to her to enter but reached out an empty tray.

Evelyn looked at the tray and removed her wristwatch, Sorry, Abel. Be right back. She said lightly.

It is fine. Take your time. Answered her watch.

Evelyn entered the room and found a sealed envelope. Outside of it written, For Evelyn Crosss eyes only. The envelope was sealed. Of course, there were many things that could pass through the paper to read what was written inside, but this envelope was different. Evelyn could feel that its texture was different as well.

She opened the envelope, and an eye looked at her. In a split second, the eye lit up with green light and the device showed a countdown. Countdown was only 5 seconds long, so Evelyn didnt delay and looked at the message written. It was one word, Resonance!

After five seconds, a small fire enveloped the envelope and turned it into ash. Evelyn of course could stop it if she wanted to, but she just watched fire dying in her hands.
