Remorse After Breaking Up



"Watch out for that bastard. He's no pushover," Joseph warned.

"You think he's tough because you're a pushover," Flynn scoffed.

Joseph was infuriated by Flynn's words, but he resisted the urge to lash out.

Flynn declared arrogantly, "Unless he's a divine grandmaster. Otherwise, I fear no one. After the auction, I'll challenge him, and nothing will stop me from taking him down!"

"Well then. I'll congratulate you in advance for your victory, Mr. York." Maverick flattered. But inwardly, he mocked Flynn's foolishness for being used as a pawn.From NôvelDrama.Org.

As Sebastian settled into his seat, he scanned the hall and recognized several familiar faces, including Jenny, Rainey, and Elsa, along with several God of War.

He didn't see Merlin or Nelson, guessing they were likely in one of the private boxes.

An hour later, the auction commenced as scheduled.

A graceful figure took the stage. Lana was dressed in white and had her long hair flowing down her shoulders. With a bright smile, she exuded a girl-next-door charm that put everyone at ease.

"The auctioneer is stunning!"

"With looks and figures like hers, she's a gem. I wish I could spend a night cuddled up with her."

"Shh! Are you trying to get yourself killed? She's the heiress of the Sanders family. You'll be in big trouble if anyone catches you eyeing her," a companion warned urgently.

The man who'd spoken earlier broke out in a cold sweat. He was then relieved when nobody seemed to notice his words.

As Lana stepped forward, many men in the audience were immediately captivated by her, indulging in unrealistic fantasies.

"Mr. Wilder, it's Ms. Sanders," Zia remarked with surprise. She then looked at Sebastian and asked, "Mr. Wilder, is Ms. Sanders really your fiancée?"

Sebastian nodded. He hadn't expected Lana to be the auctioneer today.

Lana's beauty was mesmerizing. She flashed a bright smile as she greeted, "Good morning, everyone!"

"Welcome to the triennial auction held by Phaedra Island. I'm Lana Sanders, this year's auctioneer. You can call me Lana."

The crowd applauded enthusiastically.

Lana continued, "We've been preparing for this auction for three years now, and we have

many treasures available for bidding. I hope everyone will leave here with something valuable.

"Without further ado, I now declare that the auction has officially started. Now, let's welcome our first item up for bidding!"

Lana clapped, summoning a graceful lady carrying a tray.

On the tray lay a rectangular wooden box. People leaned forward eagerly to get a look at the first auction item.

Usually, the first and last items at auctions were top-notch. The last item served as the climax, while the first aimed to set the tone and excite people.

Lana quickly opened the wooden box, revealing a large wild dragon root.

"Mr. Wilder, it's a century-old dragon root!" Joseph exclaimed excitedly, knowing that Sebastian's main goal for coming here was to obtain such a treasure.
