Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2629: Chapter 2630: Precious Auction Item

Griffin felt a chill run down his spine because even he didn’t know how long he could keep up with the stories he had made up.

Just as he was racking his brain to divert the topic.

A particularly arrogant voice came from beside him.

”Mandy, long time no see!”

Upon hearing this voice, Griffin immediately turned to look and saw a group of people walking briskly toward them.

Leading them was a man dressed impeccably yet luxuriously, a piece clearly crafted by a top master, his face handsome yet his gaze filled with arrogance.

Mandy frowned slightly upon seeing this man.

”Valentin, you came too?”

”Heh, of course, because the charity banquet tonight is hosted by our Carter Family!”

Indeed!

The newcomer was Valentin Carter, who had previously gone to the Drunken Dance Bar to investigate.

Mandy’s dislike for Valentin Carter’s overbearing attitude grew stronger, but due to her good upbringing, she nodded slightly.

”If that’s the case, then suit yourself!”

But Valentin did not leave; he squinted his eyes and greedily glanced at Mandy before gesturing to the seated Griffin.

”Move out of the way!”

Griffin was stunned; was he talking to me?

Valentin frowned before speaking again in a superior tone, ”Kid, I told you to hurry up and vacate this seat, didn’t you hear?”

This statement made Griffin find it laughable.

He had always spoken to others this way; it was the first time someone dared speak to him like this.

But in this prestigious gathering, he could not act out, so he could only return Valentin’s gaze coldly.

He knew well the power of the Carter Family and understood that Valentin’s presence indicated he was a favored child within it.

But regardless of the opponent’s strong background, he could not back down now.

Because a social event is also a hunting ground, even a moment of vulnerability would be like a lion losing its claws, soon becoming prey seen as weak by many.

However, his silence clearly angered Valentin; his brows drew higher.

”You must be the so-called king of sin, Griffin!”

When Valentin mentioned ”king of sin,” his face was filled with ridicule.

Griffin relaxed and leaned back in his chair, calmly replying, ”Yes, that’s me!”

”Tsk tsk, I assume you had to work hard just to appear here, after all, someone like you has no right to attend this banquet!”

With that, Valentin’s tone grew more domineering.

”Now, I give you two choices: first, obediently stand up and get lost, in which case I’ll still give you some face! As for the second... ”

Valentin snarled, ”I’ll have security drag you out and break both your legs, making you crawl back to your doghouse bit by bit!”

In Griffin’s eyes, a fierce flame suddenly rose.

It was the flame of anger.

Though he was well aware that in the eyes of these big shots, he was nothing more than a dog.

But even a dog has its dignity.

With Valentin speaking so disrespectfully, if he really backed down, he would never be able to hold his head high again in his life.

So he hardened himself, glaring coldly at Valentin.

As a confrontation was about to erupt, Mandy suddenly stood up and said, ”Griffin, I think it’s too noisy here, let’s move to the side!”

Saying so, she tugged at Griffin’s sleeve and walked to the side.

Griffin was somewhat stupefied but still followed Mandy obediently.

In the blink of an eye, only Valentin stood there alone.

His expression was uncertain as he watched Mandy and Griffin leave, teeth grinding loudly.

No matter how he thought, he couldn’t believe Mandy would suddenly do such a thing.

This was clearly embarrassing him!

And her defending Griffin like this—could it be there was something between them?

That wench!

Completely humiliating Lester’s family honor.

The more Valentin thought, the angrier he got.

But he didn’t notice that while he was glaring at Mandy and Griffin in the corner, a few other gazes were fixed on him as well.

”Can it be confirmed?” Huyue softly asked.

Xue An nodded, ”It should not be mistaken. This person’s bloodline contains a faintly strange aura; even if they’re not the true behind-the-scenes culprit, they’re definitely related!”

”Then what are we waiting for, let’s act directly!” Huyue was eager to try.

Xue An shook his head, ”We’re already here, why rush? Let’s observe first, and I just feel something significant is about to happen.”

Only then did Huyue suppress his excitement, though he was still puzzled.

Something significant is about to happen?

What could it be?

At that moment, the lights suddenly dimmed, and a host quickly took to the stage. After some enthusiastic pleasantries, they solemnly said.

”The reason we’ve gathered everyone here today is, firstly, to enhance friendships, and secondly, to hold a charity auction; the proceeds will be used to help the poor! It’s important to note, this auction was initiated by the Carter Family!”

In an instant, applause filled the room, and the lights focused on Valentin, who stood up with restraint and signaled to all sides.

”No more babbling, the auction is about to begin. The first item is a diamond weighing a full hundred carats!”

As he spoke, an exquisite piece was pushed onto the stage.

Yet the wealthy attendees were very calm because this was no longer the Earth before great changes.

Since the resurgence of spiritual energy, Spirit Stones containing nature’s spiritual energy are the most precious and solid treasures.

As for these diamonds, they have become insignificant vassals.

However, they are still fine for flaunting wealth.

Consequently, bids started quickly and the diamond was eventually purchased for a decent price.

This was a good start, and the atmosphere heated up with subsequent items being sold.

At the height of the excitement, the host spoke mysteriously.

”Ladies and gentlemen, the next auction item is extremely rare and precious; I’m sure it will catch many people’s interest!”

With that, a small cart was pushed onto the stage, covered completely with a red cloth, hiding its contents.

But the instant Xue An saw this auction item, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, a strong murderous intent appearing on his face.

In the next moment, the red cloth was pulled away, revealing an iron cage beneath, with a young girl inside.

Her arms and legs were in the form of tentacles; as light shone on her, she immediately curled up in fear.

”Xiao Yu!” The words slipped from Xue An’s teeth.
