My Fabulous Girl Boss by Evergreen novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174

A middle–aged man with thick brows and large eyes was seated in Room 5, located on the second floor. “Who‘s this young man downstairs?”

“I‘m not really sure. However, he‘s sitting next to Zachary, and he seems very close with Zachary‘s granddaughter. It‘s possible that he‘s the boyfriend of Zachary‘s granddaughter,” reported the subordinate standing next to him.

“Send someone to inform Zachary to yield the item out of respect to me, Howard Rosweld. The Bocca Fruit is of utmost importance to me.”

The subordinate turned around in preparation to dispatch the order.

Howard called out to him and said, “If he doesn‘t give up, tell him that Sir Osborn wants it.”

“Yes, sir.”

A steward–looking man made his way to Kayson.

Zachary‘s expression turned solemn upon hearing the message. Soon afterward, he said,” Please help me reply to Mr. Roswell that we need the Bocca Fruit to save a patient‘s life, so we can‘t yield.”

Upon hearing, the steward said in all seriousness, “Mr. Ewell, Sir Osborn wants the Bocca Fruit.”

Zachary‘s pupils constricted abruptly. He declined persistently initially, but he expressed his hesitation in the meantime.

“Mr. Ewell, I‘m sure you understand Sir Osborn‘s power. The item auctioned on the stage may be important but are you and your granddaughter‘s lives more important than that little item?”

It was a modest threat!

Kayson took a glance at the steward and asked, “Are you from Room 5?” “Yes,” replied the steward nonchalantly. He needed to behave courteously to Zachary.

However, he needed not to be respectful toward the young lad of unknown background.

“Go back and tell the person upstairs that this is an auction, understand? The highest bidder wins, and you can give up if you don‘t have the money. It‘s a simple principle.”The steward‘s expression changed drastically, and he glared at Kayson ferociously. “It seems that you‘re clueless about Sir Osborn‘s terror!”‘This man is going to get himself killed!” Kayson could not be bothered to pay attention to the steward. He raised his bidding paddle and said, “$10,300,000!” The steward‘s expression turned solemn. “Mr. Ewell…” Zachary heaved a sigh and said, “I‘m really sorry!”ChapitThe steward let out a grunt upon noticing the situation. “If that‘s the case, you better look out for yourself, Mr. Ewell.” After the steward left, Zachary said with a bitter smile, “A bigshot is watching us, just as expected.”Kayson asked, “Who is this Sir Osborn? Is he very fussy?”“He‘s relatively troublesome. I figure it will be quite difficult to handle him even if Tyrone helps out,” said Zachary.“Ah?” Kayson was astounded. If he was not mistaken, someone said that there were very few matters that the Tinsleys could not solve in Skyriv.“We‘ll discuss further later. Just as you mentioned, it‘s an auction, and the highest bidder wins. “Even Sir Osborn will need to be reasonable, right?”Kayson nodded.Meanwhile, the steward had already reported on Kayson‘s attitude and other matters in Room 5 on the second floor. “This is preposterous! Is Zachary trying to get himself killed?” Howard‘s expression was unpleasant and filled with rage.‘The bidding price is already at $13,300,000!‘“Howard, the young lad is rather foolish. I think that Zachary might feel that we won‘t go hard on this matter.” Next to him, a young man with long hair and long bangs suggested, “The bidding price is already so high, just let them have it. “We will just take it from them, and by doing this, we‘ll be able to save on the money!” Howard assumed a stern expression. “Zachary is not a nobody, using a trick like this…” The young man with long bangs said, “Howard, Zachary is just a doctor after all. Who is he when compared to Sir Osborn?

“He ruined Sir Osborn‘s matter while we‘re only rendering our service to Sir Osborn. Who‘s going to have the audacity to criticize us? All in all, it is Zachary‘s fault for not knowing hisplace!“By then, you‘re going to be in the most trouble when Sir Osborn is looking for someone to blame!”The remark triggered Howard. “Commission Master Garcia to perform the task then.” Howard said, “Master Garcia is visiting Clouspring coincidentally in an attempt to look for his junior, Titus Wood.”“That‘s wise of you, Howard! We‘ll most certainly acquire the Bocca Fruit with Master Garcia‘s help.” At last, Kayson acquired the Bocca Fruit for the price of $14,000,000. His heart ached for the money he had spent because the old man had told him the fruit would only cost $30! He had spent $30 previously to purchase Bocca Fruit from the old man.Could it be that the old man had given him a fake fruit?The female auctioneer, Eira, took a glance at Kayson and noticed Kayson‘s painful expression. She could not help feeling amused by Kayson. ‘I wonder if this person really has the money to pay for it.’ She did not comment further while the staff member wheeled in the final auction item.Eira said, “This is the final item of the day. It‘s a chunk of dead wood, but the description of dead wood is not too accurate either.“However, our owner commissioned quite a number to verify this item, yet it‘s not identified as anything. Still, it is known to be rather precious.” Zachary glanced and shook his head while saying, “I can‘t tell what‘s so precious about it.”It looked like just a half–rotten branch to him.

However, Kayson‘s eyes were glowing with desire. If he was not mistaken, it was a chunk of Lightning Wood.An ordinary person would not possibly be able to tell its value!Meanwhile, Eira said with a smile, “Our owner set the price of this wood chunk personally as $15,000,000.”The crowd was astounded. ‘What the heck? A chunk of dead wood that costs $15,000,000!? ‘Who‘s going to spend so much money on this? ‘Is the Roselle Lodge‘s owner playing a joke on us?‘ “$16,000,000.”Yet, just as everyone else was rendered speechless, someone bidded from Room 2 upstairs. Kayson‘s expression changed ever so slightly. He realized that someone knew a lot about the goods. “$18,000,000,” Kayson called out. “$19,000,000,” someone called out from Room 1. Kayson said, “$22,000,000.”The crowd assumed that Kayson and the distinguished guests upstairs had lost their minds. Otherwise, why would they spend so much money on a chunk of dead wood? Lindsy was confused, so she tugged at Kayson. “Don‘t be impulsive, Kayson. I‘ll take you to the mountain where you can pick up wood like this. It‘s everywhere.”Kayson chuckled and shook his head. “No, you can‘t find it anywhere else other than here.”“Huh?”Lindsy was dumbfounded. “Is this rotten wood so rare?‘“$30,000,000!”All of a sudden, a cold voice came from Room 5.The people from the other rooms stopped bidding. There was no telling if they were out of money or scared of the person from Room 5. Kayson furrowed his brow and said, “$31,000,000!”“$31,100,000!” Howard from Room 5 bidded without the slightest hesitation.He sneered. ‘Young lad, since you want the rotten wood so badly, I‘m going to cost you an arm and a leg!‘“$34,000,000!” “$34,200,000!” Zachary hastily said, “He‘s outbidding on purpose. Stop contending with him, Kayson!” If this were to continue, there was no telling how high the bid would be. Kayson said loudly, “I‘m getting the wood! $37,000,000!” “$37,200,000!” Howard sneered. Trying to outbid me? I‘m going to f*ck up your bid, you son of a b*tch! ‘I‘m going to make sure it costs you an arm and a leg. I’ll get my hands on the Bocca Fruit as well! I‘m going to make sure you end up with nothing!‘ “I don‘t have enough money. I give up.” Kayson suddenly lowered the bidding paddle in his hand. Howard‘s expression was frozen in the room.
