NovelStartBrad could not access any background information on Skylar.
Skylar was at an untouchable height the Moodys could not dream of!
In fact, Skylar possessed powers far beyond Brad’s imagination.
Looking back, Brad realized Skylar had shown Strickland mercy by merely crippling his hands despite
Strickland’s repeated offense.
Skylar could have taken out the entire Moody family if he wanted to.
Brad knew better than to take revenge on Skylar.
There was no way Brad was going to show any resentment toward Skylar.
With a nod, Skylar took the inventory list and discussed the auction pieces with Yulia.
“Skylar, do you know much about Old Mr. Shepard’s interest?”
Flipping through the list, Yulia asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSkylar shook his head. “I’m not too sure.
“Just pick anything you think is nice. It’s an honor to the old man that I agreed to have a drink with him.
“He’ll treasure it even if you give him an art piece you find on the street.”
Brad was speechless by Skylar’s statement.
The old man Skylar referred to was Old Mr. Shepard, the head of the Four Great Families in
Cloudtopia.
Even Old Mr. Shepard was trying to get into Skylar’s good graces.
It only confirmed Brad’s suspicion.
For Skylar to think nothing of Old Mr. Shepard, the man had power and connections beyond anybody’s
reach.
Believing Skylar was full of hot air, Yulia irately uttered, “Can you take this more seriously? I’m trying to
have a decent conversation with you.
“I think Old Mr. Shepard talked about a Fist Handbook when we met. Is he into martial arts?
“The collection of nuts de cuerno looks fine to me. It’ll make a nice gift, and nuts are good for building
bones and muscles.”
Skylar nodded his head.
He had no problems with Yulia’s pick.
Besides, Skylar had a quick look-through at the inventory, and only a few items stood out. The nut
collection did not seem like a bad idea.
The nuts de cuerno were collectible walnuts courtesy of mother nature. They were highly unusual and
barely found in pairs.
Nevertheless, there were six in this collection. Their equal sizes were of a great rarity too.
It would make quite a gift for Old Mr. Shepard.
While the couple was talking, the host came up on stage and began the auction.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe first eight auction pieces were art displays and jewelry that ranged between tens of thousands to
hundreds of thousands. There was nothing that went beyond the million-dollar mark.
The auction today was not on a higher scale.
Since Skylar and Yulia were waiting for the nut collection, they did not raise their bidding card once.
Sitting a row behind, Yvonne and Nolan saw nothing that caught their eye.
They only came to the auction so as not to be outdone by Skylar and Yulia at Old Mr. Sue’s birthday
celebration tomorrow.
Hence, they were after a unique piece.
Anything with a bidding price in the range of hundreds of thousands was not something they would
consider.
It took a while before the nuts de cuerno were unveiled.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you won’t want to miss out on the next auction item. Feast your eyes and be
mesmerized by its beauty!”
The host of the private auction ditched the formality to hype the crowd up.
Everybody looked on with anticipation.
