The Guardian's Sword

Gabe explained to Sean and Zander. After all, he had lived in Midwich for five
years and surely knew more about Midwich than Sean and Zander.

"Mr. Lennon and Zander, today's auction is held by the Harris family, one of the
four leading noble families in Midwich. The Harris family is matched only by the
Jensen family, the Sheldon family, and the Yale family. You've met members of
the Jensen family just now. The Sheldon family and the Yale family are also here
for the auction..."

"Look over there. The old man in the first row on the far left is Caden Sheldon,
the patriarch of the Sheldon family, and the one next to him is his granddaughter,
Luna Sheldon."

Sean and Zander looked over curiously.

They knew Benji was targeted by the Sheldon family because he rejected their
heiress, Luna. It was why the company faced a capital chain rupture issue.

Now they had met Luna herself.

The heiress of the Sheldon family was indeed beautiful. Although she was only in
her early twenties, she was elegant like a lady in the Middle Ages.

The patriarch of the Sheldon family, Caden, looked like he was over 70 years old.
However, he was energetic.

"Mr. Lennon and Zander, look to the far right. Sitting in the first row on the far
right is the head of the Yale family, Sherleen Yale, and her son Sherman Yale."
The head of the Yale family, Sherleen, was a woman in her 40s, close to 50
years old, but she took great care of herself. Her skin was fair and tender.
People would probably think she was only 30 years old.

The woman was beautiful, but she had an intimidating aura. No wonder she was
the head of the Yale family.

Her son, Sherman, was handsome and buff. One could tell he worked out
regularly.

Aman like that was many girls’ Prince Charming.

"Sitting in the middle of the front row is the patriarch of the Jensen family,
Fernando, and his son Jonathan. Though Fernando apologized, you mustn't
underestimate Fernando, Mr. Lennon. The Jensen family's unfathomable, and
Fernando's scheming,” Gabe warned.

He was concerned that Sean and Zander underestimated Fernando and fell into
his trap.

Sean smiled and nodded. "Don’t worry. I'm not that stupid..."

Gabe breathed a sigh of relief and said with a chuckle, "The Harris family set the
Sheldon family, the Jensen family, and the Yale family's seats so far apart in their
auction because they were afraid of them making a scene. After all, the top four
families have always been at each other's throats forever."

"Do you have any inside information about what's going on auction today?" Sean
asked.

Zander also wanted to know the answer, so Zander stared at Gabe when Sean
asked.

Gabe said with a wry smile, "What inside information can I have... But I did hear
that today’s auction is unusual and that the final item is of great value."

"Really?" Sean nodded thoughtfully.

The auction had finally begun.

There was a young man on stage. According to Gabe, the young man was Keith
Harris, the heir of the Harris family.

After letting out a cough, Keith glanced at the audience and said, "Thank you for
taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the Harris family's auction. Please
rest assured that the Harris family's auction will be an eye-opening and satisfying
event for everyone here. The auction begins now!"

The first auction item got on stage.

It was a landscape painting.

According to Keith, the landscape painting was a Two Butterflies painting by
Vincent van Gogh, a famous painter in history.

Vincent van Gogh was good at painting butterflies. Besides, this painting was
both antique and art, so it was expensive.

"Bidding starts at five million dollars for the Two Butterflies painting. Each price
increase must be no less than 50,000 dollars. The auction begins now!"
