Seeing my stubbornness, both men stayed quiet, though pity flickered in their eyes.
For me, this Knotweed meant everything. Getting it would boost my chances of reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage big time.
Once I hit Foundation Establishment, I wouldn't fear any damn Colton Family.
"Congratulations to Mr. Raymond for winning a Knotweed plant at 10 billion!" The auctioneer yelled excitedly from the stage.
This was the auction's main event, so once the deal closed, everything wrapped up.
People started leaving. Mabel Sean and I stood up, heading toward the backstage.
Walking past Bernard Colton, he suddenly said coldly, "Kid, you've got balls. Nobody's ever dared cross our Colton Family in South City."
"Oh yeah? I'm honored to be first," I replied without caring.
Bernard sneered, "You're begging for death. Hope you don't regret it."
I didn't waste more words on him. I'd handle whatever came my way.
Soon Mabel and I reached backstage.
