Dragon Master novel Maximilian
Chapter 908 A Zero-sum Game

As people down the stage was complimenting and sighing for the exquisiteness of the items exhibited, Rowen suddenly stood up and yelled out in a powerful voice, "No matter how much I shall pay, I'm going to get all these treasures, including you, lady!"

The hall resounded with the voice of Rowen, which had drawn the attention of those rich men around. Finding that it was Rowen who made such rampant announcement, those fellows dared not to do anything but to lower down their heads, gritting their teeth silently. They all felt it the same way that it was excessive for Rowen to take away all those curios regardless of others' feeling, while no one would dare to speak out the voice inside in case of getting himself trouble.

Rowen looked around and then grinned, yelling to the lady loudly, "It seems that none of the guests around are able to afford all these items today, except me!"

Connor, sitting aside and looking at Rowen, chose to remain silent since he neither got any interest in those curios nor what was inside the head of Rowen.

For the chairman of the auction standing aside, he was stunned into cold sweat with his eyes wide open out of panic. He had long heard the obscene and filthy essence of Rowen, and knew nothing about what would happen to his daughter if he took her away.

However, it was out of what the chairman had expected that his daughter, smiling seductively, stepped towards Rowen, stroked his chest softly with one hand and said, "That would be great, Rowen. Besides, I always appreciate those who are tough and, of course, rich."

"You really know how to be loved, don't you?" Rowen laughed and seemed satisfied with the flattering of the chairman's daughter.

The unexpected interactions between the beauty and the wrinkled old man Rowen were such an eyesore to the guests around.

Chief Carr frowned, turned to his assistant and asked, "Tell me something about the man called Rowen."

"Sorry, but I'm not sure about that too. All I know is that he has his hands in a dozens of company, and the yearly revenue of each of them is nearly immeasurable." Answered his assistant. Chief Carr sighed and thought to himself that it was too early for him to take any further actions against Rowen.

After Rowen had successfully bought all those curios in auction, the daughter of the chairman gracefully stepped towards the front of Rowen, presenting all those curios to him by herself and leaving a kiss on Rowen's cheek.

Rowen then took the advantage, pulled her to his side and began to fondle her, regardless of the glare of the chairman.

"I have a question for you, sweetie." Rowen suddenly asked, with one of his hands softly stroking the head of the lady, "Am I the most powerful and influential man in this place?"

The lady hesitated, glanced at the men around including Chief Carr and Connor. Rowen then stared at her sharply and asked again, "Tell me, am I the most powerful and influential man in this place?" The lady seemed frightened, nodding panically and leaning on the chest of Rowen. Rowen then laughed and turned to Maximilian with defiant eyes, while it seemed that Maximilian was not going to give any response to Rowen even though he had noticed his provocation, which made Rowen extremely unpleasant.

In the following rounds of the auction, Rowen decided to stop wasting any money and kept silent in the rest of the process, leaving other guests yelling out prices to compete with each other for the items auctioned.

Soon, the third round of the auctions came, and among the items Maximilian found a glossy ganoderma with color of icy blue, which was definitely Hardy Ganoderma that Damen had mentioned.

"In this round of auction, we have a kind of valuable and rare traditional Chinese herb here which is called Hardy Ganoderma. As we can see, it is covered by the color of transparent icy blue, and according to reference, it is valuable for its functions of lowering blood pressure, strengthening one's overall physical abilities, especially sexual capacity." Another lady, stepped up to the stage and introduced to the guests. The last function that the auction lady mentioned had attracted the attention of guests around. For Maximilian, it was the only chance to save Victoria's grandpa, and he needed to get Hardy Ganoderma no matter what.000000
