Chapter 288 I Do Not Care About Who You Are

Damian turned to the crowd and bowed slightly with a smile. “Everyone, the reason I came to this auction is precisely to get my hands on this Monoceros bone. If you would kindly cease your bidding and let me have the bone, I will give each and every one of you a talisman with my blessing.”

Most people in the crowd knew how powerful Damian was, and getting into his bad books would only mean disaster for themselves and their families.

Besides, getting a free talisman from Damian himself would mean that they would not be leaving empty- handed. Hence, even though they were feeling a slight twinge of displeasure, they decided to let Damian have his way.

Fabian, on the other hand, felt more than a twinge of displeasure upon hearing Damian’s words.

The first rule of an auction dictates that the highest bidder wins, which Damian ignored completely.

Fabian did not mind the potential profits he might lose if Damian took the artifact home for only twenty- seven million. The only thing that he was concerned about was the damage that it might do to Breezeworth Hall’s reputation.

However, Fabian also knew that there was nothing he could do without getting both himself and Breezeworth Hall into trouble.

Damian was jittery with excitement after seeing everyone’s defeated looks.

He had gone through so much just to get his hands on the Monoceros bone, and his wish was finally coming true.

So what if it cost twenty–seven million?

I can make a huge profit out of this!

Everyone remained silent, reluctant to make themselves the enemy of someone who was from the Mountain of the Beasts.

Damian was beyond delighted. This is how true power and authority look like!

No one would dare to embarrass me!

That Monoceros bone shall be mine!

Suddenly, a voice broke the silence. “Thirty million!”

The silence the ensued afterwards was deafening.

Everyone turned around to stare at the bidder before letting out a collective gasp.

It’s him again! The guy who snagged those two artifacts that Desmond bid on!

Despite having an unassuming appearance, Alex’s courage was unforgettable.

The astronomical prices he gave and the successful card swipes that followed had shocked every member of the crowd, yet none of them had expected him to bid on the same item as Damian Kline.

Damian glared at him, his expression growing cold.

Desmond stood up from his seat and rubbed his eyes in disbelief, while Maggie was a little taken aback as well. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Wasn’t he just a live–in son–in–law of the Jennings family?

Where did he get all that money from?

Even Maggie herself feared retribution from Damian, the oldest disciple of the Mountain of the Beasts.

Why is he so confident? Could he just be ignorant of Damian’s status?

Isn’t he scared of retribution?

“How dare you!” Desmond yelled! “Who are you to bid for the item that Mr. Kline set his eyes upon?”

Desmond was seething with anger by then. What makes him think he could go against Mr. Kline?

Alex grinned. “Isn’t this an auction? Don’t you know the rules?” he asked. “Besides, you should probably shut up before you embarrass yourself even further.”

Desmond stomped his foot in anguish and sat back down in silence.

Even so, he chuckled inwardly, knowing how much trouble Alex had gotten himself into.

“You again!” Damian exclaimed, glaring at Alex. “Don’t you know who I am?”

“I don’t care about who you are,” Alex sneered, staring at Damian without a hint of fear in his eyes.
