My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 936: Whetting the Appetite

"Bring up the surveillance footage from the entrance of the banquet."

The technician immediately complied, and the video played on the screen. The guests attending the banquet all passed through the entrance, and nearly every face was clear to see.

"Stop!" Yiren commanded coldly, and the image froze on a pregnant woman leading two children, entering the frame. This woman’s clothes were the same as those worn by the woman who had just been escorted out by the bodyguards.

What shocked her even more was that the woman’s face was the same as the one she had seen in the museum with the children.

Her eyes suddenly became incredibly complex and dark. This woman had seen her at the museum, and she seemed to have a deep connection with Third Young Master Jun.

She returned to the banquet, and Ivanov approached her.

"What’s wrong? You don’t seem very happy. Weren’t you just dancing with Jun Huang? So, how was it? Did he fall for your charms, my precious daughter?"

Yiren’s face turned even uglier, yet she managed a faint smile, "Dad, I will definitely have him in my grasp. I know new can become a significant asset for us—we need more power."

Something Third Young Master had said to her then had further ignited her fighting spirit.

It was a sentence that would make any woman feel humiliated upon hearing it.

He had arrogantly stated, "I’m not interested in you!"

Not interested? 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Hmph, she refused to believe that he wasn’t interested in the things everyone coveted that she held in her hand. With the right bargaining chip, she could make this proud king fall into her hands, step by step.

"It’s even better that you have such fighting spirit. Our plan will surely proceed smoothly; this is the chance for our Ivan Family to rise powerfully once again," Ivanov said with a proud expression.

"However, Dad, I saw someone at the banquet—a woman I had seen before at the museum."

Ivanov frowned, his expression turning sinister, "Did she recognize you?"

"I don’t know."

"Such people, whether they recognize you or not, to ensure nothing goes wrong, we still need to..." Ivanov made a vicious snapping gesture.

Yiren smiled seductively, "I understand, Dad. With so many underworld families gathering in this city recently, who would know who silenced someone by killing them?"

She would eliminate anyone who stood in her way.

"Yes, that’s right. It’s also time to announce the main event of the evening," Ivanov’s eyes gleamed with a strange light.

Then he walked to the center of the banquet, spread his arms, and signaled for everyone to quiet down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, gathering here in South Europe’s S City, you’ve all come for the auction. This auction will undoubtedly feature many precious treasures. As participants, the Ivan Family is also willing to offer two items for auction."

Then he clapped his hands, and several bodyguards carried out two huge reinforced glass cases.

Placed in the center.

The guests all looked on in astonishment at the two sealed cases, wondering what was inside. One contained an old black box that seemed to be an antique from an Eastern country, while the other held a very peculiar vase.

ThirdYoung Master Jun’s phoenix eyes narrowed as he observed the two items. These antiques, in terms of value, were worth at most a few million—not anything rare, insignificant in the black market.

Unless there was something of greater value than the antiques themselves within these two items.

Clearly, everyone thought so. An eerie atmosphere flowed among the guests as they secretly speculated what it could be.

But obviously, Ivanov was not in a hurry to clear up everyone’s doubts, smiling and whetting their appetites.
