The Legendary Man Chapter 431

The Auction

The night passed by in the blink of an eye.

At eight o’clock the next night, Logan knocked on the door to Jonathan’s room punctually.

“Mr. Goldstein, it’s time. We should get going!” Logan’s voice sounded outside the door.

“Let’s go.” Jonathan opened the door and walked out of the hotel with Logan.

At the hotel entrance, a black car had been waiting for quite some time.

“Commander!”

The moment Jonathan came downstairs, the soldier waiting by the car immediately straightened hisback and wanted to salute Jonathan subconsciously.

Although he was only a driver at that moment and did not wear a military uniform, the reflexes of asoldier engraved in his bones still made his fingers tremble.

“Don’t call me ‘Commander’ here. There’s no commander around—only Mr. Goldstein is here,”Jonathan reminded in a low voice. Upon hearing his words, the soldier immediately snapped back tohis senses and opened the car door for Jonathan. “Please, Mr. Goldstein!”

“Okay.” Jonathan nodded, then got into the car.

Half an hour later, the car came to a stop in front of an extravagantly designed hotel, and at theentrance of the hotel, there were already countless guards in black suits standing there.

One could tell at a glance that there were at least a hundred of them.

Each of them was armed and wore an earpiece in their ears. It looked just like a scene straight out of amajor motion picture.

Some of them even had a bulge in their waists, seemingly carrying guns on them.

Nevertheless, this was understandable because every guest who attended the auction that day was aprominent and distinguished figure in Durbaine. There were even bigshots, who had flown a longdistance from abroad, to attend this event.

Every one of them had a net worth of at least a hundred million, and that figure was the smallestnumber among the elites.

If anything were to happen to any of those attendees, the organizer of the auction would have to bearunimaginable consequences.

“Mr. Goldstein, this way!” Logan led the way. His face itself was the best pass. With Logan around, noone had the guts to check their invitation cards.

This was a very high-class private auction. No one could enter without an invitation, and no one wasallowed to take pictures or record a video.

To ensure that no information about the auction would be leaked, one had to hand in one’s phone andcamera before entering the venue.

“There are many people here,” Jonathan remarked casually.

As he walked inside, he encountered about a hundred people.

All of them were potbellied and had a group of bodyguards following after them.

Occasionally, Jonathan would catch sight of a few familiar celebrities.

Needless to say, there would be superstars at an event like this. Even though they might not be able toafford to buy anything at the auction, at least they could get to know the bigwigs here. Those femalecelebrities, especially, who dreamed of getting married into a wealthy family, could even findthemselves a rich husband at the auction.

“Yes. I heard that there are about five to six hundred attendees,” Logan responded in a soft voice.

Just as he said that, a sensual voice with a hint of suggestiveness sounded in the hall. “CommanderGriffin, you’re here!”

A sultry young lady clad in a green figure-hugging dress sauntered toward the two men smilingly, hercurvy figure highlighted by her dress.

She was ample and slim in all the right places. Her slender waist, especially, could arouse the infinitedesire of a man to possess and conquer her as his own from behind with his hands on that invitingwaist.

“Just call me ‘Mr. Griffin.’ You don’t need to call me ‘Commander Griffin’ here today,” Logan reminded ina whisper. With Jonathan beside him, Logan’s identity as the commander-in-chief of the garrison inDurbaine was nothing compared to Jonathan’s.

Since Jonathan wished to keep a low profile, Logan naturally had to follow his order.novelbin

“Okay, Mr. Griffin. You prefer to do things in a low-profile manner.” The sultry young lady chuckled.Then her eyes drifted toward Jonathan. “Mr. Griffin, this is…”

“He’s Mr. Goldstein, my friend from the mainland.” Logan didn’t introduce much of Jonathan. He turnedtoward Jonathan and said, “Mr. Goldstein, this is Ms. Haberly. Her family, the Haberly family, is the

organizer of this auction.”

“Oh.”

Jonathan simply nodded.

Hearing Logan’s words, the sultry young lady became even more enthusiastic. “Mr. Goldstein, I didn’texpect you to be able to make friends with Commander Griffin at such a young age. Rumor has it thatCommander Griffin is very picky with his friends. Even now, I haven’t even become a friend ofCommander Griffin.”

Having said that, she deliberately let out a sigh.

However, her attitude wouldn’t make people feel annoyed. Instead, some might even find it adorable.

“Commander Griffin, I’ve prepared a private room for you. It’s Room 9 at the most secluded corner.What do you think?” the sultry young lady continued, looking straight at Logan with an amorous glance.If he were an ordinary man, he would have succumbed to the temptation. However, Logan didn’t spareher a glance as he turned toward Jonathan and inquired, “Mr. Goldstein, what do you think?”

“No problem.”

The sultry young lady flashed a smile. “Let’s go, then? I’ll lead the way.”

With that, she walked ahead of them, swaying her hips. As she ambled forward, she said, “CommanderGriffin, both of you are too humble. With your identity and status, no one can stop you from gettingRoom 0, the best VIP room.”

“Mr. Goldstein doesn’t like attracting much attention,” Logan said. The sultry young lady instantlynodded in reply.

After a few minutes, the three of them reached Room 9 located at the most remote corner of the venue.

Although its location was secluded, it was much better than the ones in the main hall on the first floor.Besides, the decoration inside Room 9 was much more luxurious.

The few bottles of red wine placed on the table cost at least one million.

“Commander Griffin, Mr. Goldstein, are you both satisfied with this private room?” The sultry young ladydidn’t leave. Instead, she sat down nonchalantly and even opened a bottle of red wine for them. “If not,I can help both of you to change the room at any time.”

“There’s no need for that. It looks good here.” Jonathan was not particularly hard to please, as he hadcome here mainly because of the dragon-patterned jade pendant.

“That’s great.” After the sultry young lady poured them a glass of wine with a smile, she raised herglass. “Commander Griffin, Mr. Goldstein, let me give you a toast! It’s a great honor for my family tohave both of you here today. Tonight, I won’t attend to other guests as I will stay here to serve you, ourtwo distinguished guests, in Room 9!”

As soon as she said that, she downed the glass of wine.
