The Guardian's Sword

Harvey was excitedly speaking, but before he could finish, Sean politely declined.
"That's not necessary, Mr. Connor. We'll sit in the auction hall.”

Of course, Lisha would not argue with Sean's decision, and she also thought that
sitting in the auction hall on the first floor would be more lively than in a private
room.

Although the private room had comfortable sofas and tea and snacks, how could
Lisha, as the daughter of the mayor, care about such things?

"Since Mr. Lennon has decided to sit in the auction hall on the first floor, let's just
sit there. The private rooms on the second floor can be reserved for even more
distinguished guests."

Upon hearing Lisha's words, Harvey's face was full of bitter smiles.

Lisha was the daughter of the mayor, and Sean was the commander-in-chief of
the city defense army of Dorodo, making them the two giants of Dorodo.

There were simply no guests in Crosac who could match their status. In fact, only
the mayor of Crosac, Claremento Crosac, coming here in person could slightly
surpass Sean and Lisha in terms of status.

As for the other guests, how could their status compare to Lisha's?

However, since Sean and Lisha had made their decision, Harvey naturally could
not argue anymore.

He immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Sure, no problem. Ms. Lisha,
Commander Lennon, you can sit wherever you like."

Sean looked around the auction hall and fixed his gaze on two seats in the
corner. "Let's sit there..."

After finishing speaking, Sean pulled Lisha along and walked towards the corner.
Harvey could only smile bitterly and say nothing.

It was surprising that the commander-in-chief of Dorodo's city defense army was
so low-key.

Sean and Lisha quickly took their seats. The seats on the first floor of the auction
hall were almost full, and it seemed that most of the expected guests had arrived.
After exchanging a few words, Harvey left. After all, as the organizer of the
auction, he had to deal with various matters backstage and could not accompany
Sean and Lisha here.

Five minutes passed, and the auction finally began.

The auctioneer on stage, who started with an opening speech and began to heat
up the atmosphere, was a hot woman in her thirties.

This woman was extremely curvaceous. Her body was well-proportioned, and the
slim-fitting dress she wore seemed as if it could burst open at any moment,
revealing her snowy white skin.

"This female auctioneer is quite famous in our Crosac, and many wealthy
merchants pursue her," Lisha gossiped.

Sean smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be interested in this kind of thing."
"As a woman, I'm naturally interested in gossip," Lisha admitted candidly.

The first auction item was a painting piece by a famous artist from Dragon
Kingdom.

The female auctioneer on stage hyped up the piece, making it seem as if it was
rare and precious. The starting price was one million, and each bid must not be
less than ten thousand.

"One million and five hundred thousand!" As soon as the starting price was
announced, Lisha immediately raised her paddle and added five hundred
thousand.

The large auction hall immediately fell silent.

All the guests were curious and looked in Lisha's direction. However, Lisha
quickly pulled down the veil to cover her face, so no one could see her
appearance and naturally could not know who she was.

"Who's this young lady who made such a generous offer?"

"It's not considered generous. The final transaction price of this painting piece
should be around two and a half to three million. Although adding five hundred
thousand in one bid is generous, it's still far from the estimated final transaction
price."

"Why don't you bid then?"

Various discussions quietly arose. Some positive, some negative.

Lisha was very happy to hear this and felt a little bit proud.

"You're interested in this painting?" Sean asked in confusion.
