The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 2209

After Christopher came over, Curtis came up with a series of plots against Sean
after a brief talk with Christopher.

Victory Auction House was just the beginning.

Knowing how terrifyingly capable Sean was, Curtis could not strike rashly.

He had used the Lake family's connections to plan everything, only waiting for
Sean to fall into his traps.

"Come on, it's time for the auction to begin. Come with me to meet my old friend."
Curtis said with a smile instead of answering Christopher's question.

After saying that, he walked out of the room with his two bodyguards, regardless
of Christopher's reaction.

Seeing this, Christopher felt a little resentful. After all, he was obviously older.
Christopher made the Tatum family a vassal family of the Lake family because
Christopher was on good terms with Curtis grandfather.

As Curtis’ grandfather passed away, the Tatum family had become less important
in the Lake family. Now, even a young man like Curtis could disregard
Christopher, who already had one foot in the grave.

However, Christopher also knew his place, so he could only silently put away his
frustration and anger and got up to

follow Curtis’ footsteps.

About a dozen people were lining up at Ocean Hotel's entrance, each holding a
piece of paper the size of a palm.

"Mr. Lennon, here's our invitation!"

Zander said as he handed Sean a piece of paper.

Sean nodded slightly and stood silently behind the dozen people, waiting in line
for Victory Auction House's staff at the hotel entrance to check whether the
invitation in their hands was genuine.

Everyone present was famous in Ocean City. No matter what events they
attended, they did not have to line up at the entrance.

However, as one of the top three auction houses in the country, Victory Auction
House could disregard Ocean City's dignitaries.

The Ocean City dignitaries present also understood their differences with Victory
Auction House, and all lined up without any dissatisfaction.

"Hey, I heard there's an artifact that could cause an uproar in the entire Dragon
Kingdom at the auction today.”

"I've heard of it too, but forget about the artifact. They're only showing it, not
auctioning it off!"

"Haha, although Ocean City is developing well, it's nothing in the entire Dragon
Kingdom. As long as Victory Auction House isn't stupid, an artifact that could stir
up the entire Dragon Kingdom will never be put up for auction in Ocean

City."

"Well said. If such a precious thing is put up for auction in Janestown, all the
dignitaries in Dragon Kingdom will flock to it!"

The people in line whispered about the artifact that could apparently stir up the
entire Dragon Kingdom, but no one knew what it was.

Zander whispered, "Mr. Lennon, could Victory Auction House's sudden move to
Ocean City have something to do with this artifact?"

"Haha, Victory Auction House is smart. They're known for being profit-minded.
How could they have held the auction in Ocean City if Ocean City didn't have
something that tempted him?"

Sean said with a chuckle.

After listening to these people's conversations, Sean already understood many
things.

The artifacts these people were talking about was probably the one Jadon said
the Quartz family owned.

The artifact that should be in the hands of the Quartz family was suddenly in the
hands of Victory Auction House. There must have been some changes that even
the head of the Quartz family, Jadon, did not know.
