Feeling this strange gaze, Ethan Smith also found it a bit peculiar.

But he didn’t care.

After all, in the Grandmaster Realm, Ethan Smith had no fear of anyone.

If this Dudley Lynch really had any bad ideas, Ethan wouldn’t mind sending him on his way.

“Dudley, how much did you pay for this inner core you’re holding?” Ethan asked, pointing at the inner core in Dudley’s hand.

Dudley said, “Those rich people don’t know anything. They thought it was a Night-luminescent Pearl, and I got it for three hundred thousand as a bargain.”

“I won’t talk about it any longer, we still have nearly three days to reach it, I’m going to retreat and meditate in these three days.” Dudley said while playing with the inner core.

Ethan nodded.

After Dudley left, Ethan’s brows furrowed slightly.

“Can you feel what’s on Dudley’s mind?” Ethan asked Evelyn Norton.

Evelyn shook her head and said, “Unfortunately, I can’t. Whenever I try to read his thoughts, they are immediately cut off by a strange force.”

To read someone’s mind was actually based on divine sense.

It was obvious that Dudley’s divine sense was above Evelyn’s.

It was also above Ethan’s.

Because Evelyn could read Ethan’s thoughts but not Dudley’s.

“It seems that the two of us had the same idea.” Evelyn said indifferently.

Ethan looked at Evelyn and gestured for her to continue.

Evelyn continued, “Before this, there was no connection between Dudley and I, I didn’t even know him.”

“He suddenly invited me to Brightheart Island, how could I not be suspicious?”

Ethan laughed, “Maybe he’s attracted to you.”

Evelyn shook her head, looking serious, “This man’s divine sense is extremely powerful, far beyond what someone his age should have.”

“So... I think...”

“Possession!”

The two almost said it at the same time!

As expected, Evelyn had already anticipated this!

“You came to Brightheart Island with him, aren’t you afraid that he would kill you?” Ethan asked coldly.

Evelyn jokingly laughed, “With Mr. Smith here, I believe you will protect me.”

Ethan narrowed his eyes and didn’t say anything.

Mike Taylor nodded slightly, without saying more.

Afterwards, the two sat there, quietly waiting for the auction to begin.

About half an hour later, the auction finally started.

Although this was an auction on a cruise ship, the scale of it was beyond imagination.

No other reason, just because the ship was full of wealthy people!

It was said that the auction house spent a huge amount of money just to get on the cruise ship!

Their consumption power far exceeded that of ordinary people, and the auction was just perfect for them.

The first auction item was a cultural relic from the previous dynasty, which finally fetched three million.

The second was an antique from a hundred years ago, with a price of more than ten million.

The third, fourth, fifth...

Dozens of items in a row, almost every one of them was a worldly cultural relic.

As for the inner core that Ethan wanted, not a single one was seen.

“It seems that the inner core is not as common as I thought.” Ethan thought to himself.

It also made Ethan couldn’t help but sigh, Dudley’s luck really was good.

“The next auction item is a rockery. This rockery is extraordinary, said to be taken from a Dragon Vein area, able to attract wealth and change one’s fortune.”

At that moment, the auctioneer brought out a rockery the size of a car wheel.

Although the rockery looked quite exquisite, it didn’t appear to be a modern artifact, but rather a naturally formed masterpiece.

“According to expert investigations, the previous owner of this rockery was the local richest man, and the one before that was a high-ranking official! Going back further, every owner was a top-notch person!” the auctioneer shouted.

As soon as these words came out, the scene was in uproar.

For a moment, everyone was interested in this rockery.

“Aren’t they afraid that this is a scam set up by the auction?” Seeing this, Ethan couldn’t help but ask.

Mike Taylor said indifferently, “Many people think that only the poor will be deceived, but that’s not the case, the wealthy can be deceived as well, it’s just a different way to cheat them.”

“A pile of shit, for poor people, just needs to be wrapped in a shiny, pretty package and it can be sold.”

“What about rich people?” Ethan asked.

Mike Taylor said indifferently, “For rich people, just get some experts and celebrities to hype this pile of shit up, then make up a bunch of unknown history for it.”

“For example... say that this pile of shit was left by a certain saint.” Mike Taylor said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Ethan couldn’t help but stifle his laughter and almost burst out laughing.

“Mike Taylor, you reminded me of something.” Ethan’s mouth curved into a strange smile.

Perhaps... he could scam these wealthy people in a significant way!
