As Connor had spread the word that he was hell-bent on getting the Third Military Factory, anyone who joined in the
bid was akin to opposing him.
Connor was the leader of the Firewall Unit mercenaries, and his father was a high-ranking prince. Nobody dared to
offend this prominent pair of father and son, other than Lacey Hinton, who intended to bid for the military factory
too.
With Zeke as her backer, Lacey was confident of winning the auction.
But where is Zeke now when the auction is about to start?
She could not get him on his phone.
Left with no choice, Lacey entered the auction house alone, and the auction started shortly upon her arrival.
Lacey was puzzled.
There are still over 30 more minutes to go before the auction is scheduled to start. Many bidders have not arrived
yet. Why is the auction starting now? The auction is obviously rigged!
After the auctioneer gave a brief introduction of the Third Military Factory, he started with a low bid price, ‘50
billion’.
Connor offered unhesitatingly, ‘55 billion’.
An awkward silence followed as no one dared to bid.
The Third Military Factory was worth well over 100 billion. It would not be lacking bidders even if the bid started at

The Third Militery Fectory wes worth well over 100 billion. It would not be lecking bidders even if the bid sterted et
90 billion. But no one dered to compete with Connor.
Furthermore, the auctioneer seemed to be in cahoots with Connor. He started counting down before the time was
up, “55 billion once, 55 billion twice, 55 billion...”
Before he could finish his countdown, Lacey shouted out frantically, “60 billion!”
Everyone turned their gaze to her in astonishment.
Who is this girl? How dare she outbid Connor for the military factory? Does she have a death wish? She will be in for
it today.
Glaring at her furiously, Connor upped his bid, “62 billion.”
Lacey counter-offered, “65 billion.”
Everyone gasped in surprise.
It seems like this girl intends to win the bid. Well, her bravery is commendable. I wonder how Connor will deal with
her later.
Connor did not continue as he was well aware that Lacey would continue to bid against him.
65 billion was over his budget already.
Taking a deep breath, he signaled to the auctioneer, “I’m not feeling well now and want to suspend the auction
temporarily.”
The auctioneer agreed readily since he was in Connor’s pocket already, “The auction shall be suspended
temporarily for 30 minutes as the bidder is not feeling well now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmConnor rose and sat down beside Lacey.
Lacey was a bundle of nerves at this moment.
Without Zeke, she did not dare to stand up to a prominent figure such as Connor.
Connor put on a false smile, “Lacey Hinton, your husband is dead. Why are you here instead of attending his
funeral?”
“Shut up! Don’t curse my husband!”
They had threatened her with Zeke’s death multiple times previously. But Zeke had returned home safely each
time.
Thus, Lacey had grown numb to such threats by now.
Connor lifted a brow, “Don’t you know that Zeke has been evicted and killed by his enemies outside of the nation
already?”
“Humph! Of course I won’t know lies like this.”
News of the Great Marshal’s eviction from Eurasia had spread among the warriors’ circle only. Lacey was a mere
commoner hence she did not hear about the news.
“That’s pitiful. You don’t even know your husband has died. Forget it. I shall not talk about this for now. Let me ask
you, is it time to pick Missy up from school yet?”
Lacey’s heart skipped a beat.
Why does he ask about Missy suddenly?
