Chapter 2579
However, Harvey frowned after listening to her words. “They even auctioned the national
quintessence and the martial arts of the great Country H.”
“Didn’t the Five Virtues Temple overdo it?”
Leslie sighed. “That’s the clever part. The book of martial arts they took out only existed in legends in the past, and didn’t have
any successor.”
“Thus, no one could prove to whom it belongs to. They could only imply that it belongs to the Five Virtues Temple!”
“Since they are auctioning their items, they could sell them to anyone. Who else could control them?”
Harvey nodded, but his eyes turned cold.
Promoting the culture of the great Country H overseas was a good thing.
However, selling the quintessence of the great Country Hout crossed Harvey’s bottom line.
Leslie didn’t notice the slight coldness in Harvey’ s eyes. She continued casually, “These are the reasons why this auction could
attract a lot of big shots from all over the world every year!”
“There are only three to five hundred seats available in the auction every year!”
“I heard that the price of one seat has gone up to a few thousand dollars today!”
“As for this invitation card, it belongs to my father.”
“Without him, I could never get it.”
Harvey’s face returned to normal. He nodded, squinted to look at the front, and said, “It seems
Sharon also came back because of the auction.”
“I just don’t know what she’s after.”
Leslie also frowned and followed Harvey’s line of sight after listening to his words. Her eager face turned cold instantly.
Murphy and Sharon were there, talking happily, arm in arm. They seemed to be in high spirits. One could tell that they were a
couple at first glance.
Many big shots from the upper circle of Hong Kong saw this as well, and had meaningful smiles on their faces.
The circle of Hong Kong wasn’t too big, so they all knew that Leslie and Murphy were engaged.
As for Murphy acting lovey-dovey with a blonde in Leslie’s face at this moment, he was openly disregarding and shaming the
Don family.
As the current Governor of Hong Kong, the Don family couldn’t do anything to the former Governor of Hong Kong, the Evans.
If word of this spread out, the Don family might receive criticism from many. Their status in s Hong Kong would certainly
plummet!
Leslie’s face changed for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal. 1
Sure enough, she knew the influence of this issue. But she was also aware that if she went forward and yelled, she would just
become a joke. The Don family would fall into deeper shame. So
She took a deep breath and said, “Young Master York, just ignore that unscrupulous guy!”
“I have my own way of dealing with him.”
Harvey smiled. “If you need any help, just say it. I
‘ll make sure to hit his face until it becomes swollen.”
Leslie was afraid that Harvey would actually carry out his word right there and then.
However, for Harvey, such a trivial matter like hitting someone in the face didn’t require any effort on his part.
If need be, he had many ways to deal with
Murphy.
And so, he and Leslie entered the auction hall in a low-key manner without drawing anyone’s attention.
After entering the place, they realized that it was actually a huge sky garden with many decks set up around.
There was a high platform with spotlights, located at the very center.
Harvey narrowed his eyes and looked around for a while. He found out that all the seats were already full, despite the fact that
there was still more than half an hour before eight o’clock.
All the guests had arrived early, anticipating the auction greatly.
