“Weren’t we just increasing the bids by a million each time? Why has it dropped to a mere hundred thousand now?”

“I guess this Mike fellow is losing his nerve. After all, no one’s money just blows in on the wind.”

“Exactly, I think so too. Just consider it; he lost the bid for the mansion earlier. Now, he’s already bid several times for this sheep’s head. He surely doesn’t want to let go!”

“But he’s unable to afford a higher price, so he’s merely testing to see if seventy million is the limit of that mysterious wealthy bidder.”

The crowd dissected the situation, each analysis as accurate as the last. The auctioneer, of course, understood this as well.

He sighed helplessly. It appeared that the prospect of auctioning the sheep’s head for a higher price was unlikely.

After a bout of clamor from the crowd, a new bid echoed from upstairs.

“71 million! ”

Indeed, the mysterious wealthy individual upstairs displayed his magnanimity, raising the price tenfold of Mike’s bid.

Feeling humiliated, Mike stormed out, not waiting for the auction to conclude.

Seeing no one else bidding, the auctioneer had no choice but to count to three and then struck his gavel down when no further bids were made.

The moment the deal was sealed, the entire audience erupted in excitement. Everyone craned their necks to see, curious about the identity of this mysterious, wealthy individual.

At this moment, in a private room, Jardins looked at Luo Feng, her face filled with confusion, yet she found herself at a loss for words.

“Hey, don’t stare at me like that. It’s unnerving.”

Feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, Luo Feng decided to retreat to the reception room. The auction was over, and he was eager to settle his payment and collect his acquisition.

As Luo Feng left, Jardins hurried after him, “Wait for me! I want to see too!”

When Jardins caught up, Luo Feng didn’t object. He could tell the girl bore no ill intent.

In the reception room, Luo Feng had just sat down when Charles arrived. He was there to collect the deed to his mansion.

Seeing Luo Feng, and then his own daughter, Charles couldn’t help but feel a sense of contentment.

He had already come to know Luo Feng’s character, and now Luo Feng had demonstrated his financial prowess. Charles was confident his daughter would be safe with him.

Approaching Luo Feng, Charles extended his hand. After a firm handshake, Charles confessed, “I never expected that the mysterious wealthy person everyone’s been talking about would turn out to be you.”

“What mysterious wealthy person? I merely spent some money and bought a few things. ” f(r)eeweb(n)ovel

After Luo Feng responded, Charles nodded in agreement and then turned to address Jardins.

“When do you plan to stop your gallivanting and return home?”

Upon hearing her father’s words, Jardins instantly displayed an impatient expression, “I don’t want to go back. I’ll do whatever I please outside. You don’t own me!”

Jardins huffed and took a seat, leaving Charles feeling helpless.

His daughter had been spoiled since childhood, her every whim indulged.

Fortunately, she had never strayed from the path and had always been a diligent student.

However, after a dispute over Charles’ questionable business practices, Jardins had left home, leaving Charles quite vexed.

Deciding against arguing with his daughter further, Charles turned his attention back to Luo Feng.

“It seems my daughter is rather fond of you.”

Luo Feng remained silent, offering no response. After all, this could be a businessman’s ploy to curry favor, who knew what ulterior motives he might harbor.

“If she wishes to accompany you, could you please look after her? She’s grown up now, doesn’t heed my words, and I can’t ensure her safety.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng neither agreed nor refused, “If the opportunity arises, I believe I can take good care of her.”

After a brief exchange, Charles left with his deed. Luo Feng stowed the Sheep Head in his suitcase and exited the venue.

Jardins followed Luo Feng, claiming she had nowhere else to go.

Luo Feng was somewhat helpless, but he permitted her to accompany him, seeing that the girl likely bore no ill intent.

After all, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Luo Feng planned to leave Atlanta in the next few days.

Just as they exited the venue, Luo Feng noticed someone was secretly trailing them.

He feigned ignorance but promptly secured the Sheep Head inside his coat to shield it in case of an unexpected attack.

They soon arrived back at their hotel. Instead of entering directly, Luo Feng drew Jardins closer and instructed,

“Could you assist me in purchasing a suitcase? It needs to be an exact match to the one I currently have.”

Upon hearing this, Jardins immediately understood his intent. Patting her chest, she assured him, “Don’t worry, you can count on me..”
