Meanwhile, Noir found Andrius and informed him about this matter. “Andy, the new
president of the Martyrs‘ Society, Cloud Forger, intends to hold an auction. He’ll use all the auction
proceeds on the martyrs‘ pensions and settlement for the family. He said that he wants to make a small
contribution to the martyrs.
“He also invited me to participate. What do you think?”
As the captain of the Shadow Wolves, Noir would not simply be representing himself if he attended
such public events. He would be representing the Wolf King as well, so he had to report to Andrius.
“No problem.
In Andrius’s opinion, this was naturally something good. “Cloud has some good ideas. He’s a good
seedling. Observe his character for now. If he’s alright, then the soldiers will have nothing to worry
about in the future.”
He did not know that Cloud had ulterior motives and was actually targeting Celestial Enterprise.
With Noir’s nod of approval, Cloud naturally borrowed Noir’s influence and spread the news of this
matter throughout Sumeria.
Soon, all the powerful people and entrepreneurs in Sumeria knew about this.
There would be a charity auction in Sumeria, and all the proceeds from the auction would be donated
to the Martyrs‘ Society. It was said that the Wolf King was supporting the event as well.
The Wolf King!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMany people became excited when they heard that name.
How did Celestial Enterprise become a force to be reckoned with?
It was because they were rumored to have the backing of the military!
Therefore, after seeing Celestial Enterprise as the precedent, many families and enterprises geared
themselves up to make themselves known in front of the Wolf King.
Once they got the Wolf King’s favor…
It would be a breeze for them to rise to the top and soar to the sky.
At New Moon Corporation, Luna went to Team Five’s office and called Andrius out. “Andrius, I’m going
to the auction held by the Martyrs‘ Society. Come with me!”
Andrius had the same idea.
Thus, they went to the auction house together.
Galaxy Auction House was the largest auction house in Sumeria. Many similar charity auctions had
been held here.
There was already a sea of people present.
No family would wait idly by when the Wolf King was involved. Even if they did not intend to participate
much in the auction, they sent their children to be observers.
When Luna and Andrius arrived, they took the two remaining seats in the corner.
The auction started just as they sat down.
“Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I’m the host for this auction, Elsa Quigley.”
After a brief self–introduction, Elsa motioned for the assistant to bring up the first item. “The first item to
be auctioned is….
Just then, someone in the front row interrupted Elsa. “Ms. Quigley. I’ve seen the list of today’s auction
items. There are around 50 to 60 items.
“It’s a waste of time and experience to auction them off one by one. How about you bundle all the items
and auction them off together?”
With that suggestion, many people echoed their agreements.
“I concur!”
“That gentleman is right. We’re all doing this for the martyrs anyway, so there’s no need to stick to the
formalities.”
“Just bundle the items and auction them off at once!”
“Yes, it’ll save much more time as well!”
“I also don’t see a problem with that.‘
The people in the crowd chimed in. Surprisingly, everyone was in favor.
Even if there were people who thought that it was inappropriate, they were quickly drowned out by
other people’s voices and could not put in their own two cents at all.
“In that case…” Elsa saw the look that Cloud secretly gave her and agreed. “We’ll bundle the items
together.
“According to the valuation… The starting price is two billion! Each bidding increment must be at least
20 million!”
As soon as those words were spoken, many people in the crowd gasped.
The starting bid opened at an astonishing two billion. Many families in the crowd would not have that
amount even if they summed up all the assets of their families.
How were they supposed to bid?
Among the companies that were present, only Simon–Tooke and Celestial Enterprise could bid. Luna

intimidated.
“I, Dean Mitchell, the chairman of Simon–Tooke, am willing to contribute to the martyrs Florence and
bid two and a half billion dollars!”
Two and a half billion!

He raised 500 million at once!
This was what it meant to be a tycoon!
Many families were surprised by his extravagance and started whispering. “Simon–Tooke is really
fierce.”
“They’re not just fierce. They’re terrifying!”
“But… don’t you guys think it’s strange that a foreign company would donate two and a half billion to
the martyrs of Florence?”
No one knew who said that. However, as soon as it was spoken, that person was snubbed by
the others.
“Fool!”
“Imbecile!”
“Buddy, you’re too short–sighted.
“This isn’t just a donation to the Martyrs‘ Society. This is putting on a show to the Wolf King. To put it
bluntly, they’re spending money to buy the Wolf King’s favor!”
