Chapter 171 No one paid attention to Tanner‘s unwarranted shouting. Even if it were part of Kayson and
Zachary‘s plan, it proved that Tanner was no better than them.
Moreover, anyone could tell that Tanner was only making such remarks because he was afraid his
reputation would be ruined. “Zachary...
Tanner‘s expression was very unpleasant, and he was gnashing his teeth in resentment because he was
badly humiliated today!
“Just wait and see!”
Tanner did not want to endure the mocking glance cast by the others like he was a clown anymore.
Hence, he turned around and left in quick strides.
Kayson took a glance at Heirein and casually said, “Not leaving with him yet, Mr. Rockwood?” Heirein‘s
expression changed, and he said anxiously, “I‘m not going to feel itchy again,
right?”
“If you aren‘t up to your little tricks, I think you won‘t suffer from another attack anymore.”

Lindsy did not fear Heirein so much, with Kayson backing her up. Hence, she stood up straight and
stared back at him.
Heirein did not comment further, but he turned around and left in dejection.
‘A wise man knows when to retreat. I‘ll figure out a way to deal with Kayson later.’ After the two unsightly
men were gone, the bigshots looking on from the side began to approach Zachary to chat in succession.
They behaved in a completely different manner toward Zachary as compared to before. After all, they
were convinced by what they saw–Zachary curing Tanner‘s unknown itchiness with his simple treatment.
The effectiveness of Zachary‘s treatment was proven!
Kayson received some attention when a few people passed him their business cards.
Yorrick approached Kayson again, but the latter was not very fond of him. He found Yorrick‘s utilitarian
spirit to be overpowering. Kayson did not wish to interact with these strangers, so he took Lindsy to hide
in a corner.
Lindsy brought many delicious desserts for Kayson, and they chatted joyously while eating.
A staff member invited the crowd to enter the auction room located inside the lodge at three
in the afternoon.
Kayson and the others were given a bidding paddle each before taking their seats.
It seemed that there were private rooms upstairs. In fact, Kayson could feel quite a number of powerful
presences around, and none of those powerhouses were weaker than Bradley. He was astonished and
thought about how Zachary was right about the numerous skilled fighters in the city!
Even though there was no one powerful enough to threaten him for the time being, there was no telling if
someone might pop up at any moment. “Mr. Ewell, what‘s happening with the upstairs private rooms?”
Zachary raised his head, took a glance, and said smilingly, “How could those influential figures possibly
want to sit with us in the common seating area willingly?”
“They value privacy very much. Moreover, some can‘t show their faces, such as government officials or
those with sketchy backgrounds.”

Kayson nodded to express his understanding.
“It‘s starting!”
A beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure in an emerald dress walked up to the podium.
The crowd learned her name was Eira Rivera after the opening speech.
Then, the lots were pushed up to the stage one by one, all antiques with acceptable prices.
The antique porcelain pieces were showcased later on and auctioned at relatively higher prices. Then,
paintings were auctioned off, and Kayson‘s interest was not piqued.
Meanwhile, the auctioneer said smilingly, “Respected guests, the vendor traveled abroad recently and
chanced upon some precious tonics by lucky coincidence. “The vendor is offering these lots for auction
because they are of no use for them. The lots have been verified for authenticity, and all the lots are
precious tonics effective in strengthening one‘s body. “However, the vendor has also offered five rare lots
for the auction.” Zachary said softly, “Here it comes!” Kayson nodded. However, his goal was to acquire
the Bocca Fruit. Then, Eira pulled away the red cover to reveal a glass box containing an enchanting–
looking red flower.
