Female Novel
Chapter 170
"Good lord! That's too outrageous!”
When Ivan returned home that night, he excitedly said, "Grandpa, father, I heard very shocking news
this noon!"
"What news?" Old Master Taylor, who rarely ventured outside his home, asked curiously.
"I heard a veteran slapped Young Master Neil a few times repeatedly until his face was swollen. It's far
too insane!"
"Bloody hell, they're not sure who that veteran was though? Man, the huge amount of guts he has! The
Hugo family happens to be a second-class aristocratic family so wouldn't he be disrespecting the Hugo
family for slapping Neil's face?"
While Ivan poured himself a glass of red wine, he spoke in a very ecstatic tone, "It’s my first time
hearing of such a masculine man. He's truly my idol!"
"A mere veteran was bold enough to slap Neil’s face and disrespect the Hugo family?"
Theodore was a little unconvinced. He said, "Is your information reliable?"
"Should be, I heard it from a construction merchant. H e said that man was extremely powerful since
he'd almost made Neil cry just from being slapped.”
After Ivan took a huge gulp of red wine from his glass, he put it down and spoke emotionally, "The most
important thing is that there was a luminous pearl auctioned off today. The pearl was no regular pearl
and was as big as a ping-pong ball. Based on what the specialists have found out, not only can it aid
one's sleep just by placing it next to their bed, but it can even slow down a person's metabolism to the
point of essentially extending one’s lifespan a little!"
"Something that mythical exists in this world?”
After Old Master Taylor heard that, he felt quite excited since a treasure like that would be most
tempting to elderly people like him.
He was about to turn 70 and his body was getting weaker by the day. If he actually had a treasure that
could extend his lifespan, he might actually live a year or two longer.
"Sigh, if we only learnt about this sooner. If we knew, w e could go to the auction to bid for it. Then we
could have placed it next to your grandpa’s pillow. Wouldn't that be nice!" Theodore looked at Ivan as
he lamented.
Ivan immediately cracked a bitter smile and said," Father, it's not only us who wanted a treasure like
this. The other wealthy merchants, first and second-class aristocratic families, and heck, even thenovelbin
Drake family wanted it too! Man, the people from the auction house didn't even bother to inform third-
class aristocratic families like ours. They only privately contacted the first and second-class aristocratic
families, including the Drake family!" "It's uncertain how some wealthy merchants got wind of the
auction since they showed up too. However, they were only there to spectate because they can't
compete against those families!" Ivan continued.
"Really? Since the Drake family went and had their eyes on a treasure like that, it should have most
likely fallen into their hands, right?" Theodore said after pondering for a moment.
"Nope!"
