"$240 million from Bidder 19."

"$260 million."

"$260 million from Bidder 23."

...

"$300 million."

"$300 million from Bidder 4. $300 million once."

"$350 million."

"$350 million from Bidder 5. Any higher?" The auctioneer waved his right hand excitedly on the stage.

"$380 million."

"$380 million from Bidder 4."

"Max."

"$400 million."

"$400 million from Bidder 5."

The middle-aged man in the front row looked back at Jared and continued to raise his bid card. "$450 million."

"$450 million from Bidder 4."

There were more murmurs from the people in the room. "It looks like Bidder 4 and 5 are going at it."

"Today's auction is interesting."

He thought the man would take the money and tell his men to get out of the way, but the man stomped the money on the ground and pointed at Jared sitting in the back seat. "Get out of the car."

Max saw that the kid did not know what he was doing, and he looked back at Jared. "Mr. Johnston, I will take care of it."

"Okay." Jared ignored the man who was screaming outside the car.

Max loosened up his tie, pushed open the door, and got out of the car, asked the shouting man, "Who sent you here?"

"You have no business here. Get out of the way—"

Before the fat man could finish his sentence, Max snapped his hand at once and looked at him expressionlessly. "Your hand is too rude."

When those men blocking in front of the car saw Max had snapped the fat man's hand, they charged at Max with their sticks. Max flung away the fat man and moved toward those guys wielding the sticks. In just a short while, the group of men was beaten to the ground, screaming in pain incessantly.

Max brushed down his suit, walked straight back to his car, and drove toward the hotel.
