I, the native, do as I please

Chapter 135 Congratulations on saving your life

That night.

Azu was wearing a suit and a bow tie, sitting in a black luxury car, heading to the highest federal auction house.

It was the largest auction house in New York, and the auctioned items were often in the tens of millions. Even if it exceeded [-] million, it was not a rare thing.

Tonight, Angelina will attend the evening auction as the president of the Kelton Group.

At that time, the auction house will auction off a piece of land, and Angelina intends to take it down and use it as Azu's private experimental base.

She had already gone to the auction house to prepare, and Azu was not in a hurry. After dinner, he walked slowly to the auction house.

With the battle suit bracelet provided by Su Rui, Azu doesn't have to wear the battle suit all the time.

So tonight, he doesn't plan to participate in the auction as a native of the motherland.

Instead, Angelina sent him an invitation, using the name 'John'.

normal people.

As long as there is no special hobby, who likes to run around in that tight battle suit all day long.

That thing is not as comfortable to wear as ordinary clothes, and Azu doesn't like the problem of ventilation alone.

There was no way in the past, but now that he has Wakanda's vibrating gold battle suit, he can become a "homelander" at any time, so he doesn't want to put himself in the battle suit all the time.

Holding a piece of information provided by Angelina, Azu casually glanced at it.

Not many people attended the auction at night, but they were all famous people.

Arnold, the president of Olga Company, is among them.

In addition, there are some big groups and big families.

Among them is a wealthy family from Italy, Christ Hanke.

The Crist family has been in business for many years, with a profound foundation, and their wealth far exceeds that of Angelina's father.

Of course, a family member cannot mobilize all the property, and this 'Christ Hank' is not the successor of that family.

But his arrival shows that the Christ family intends to enter the federation for development.

When putting down the materials, Azu looked out the window, and saw that the highest federal auction house had arrived.

The auction house was built to look like a Greek palace, and a statue stood outside in the large square.

Azu got out of the car and entered the reception hall of the auction house.

Because the auction hadn't started yet, all the people who came to participate in the auction basically gathered in this hall.

The people who came to participate in the auction tonight are not simple people. Looking at the past, in the brightly lit hall, men are well-dressed and women's long skirts are dragging the floor.

There are not only the president of the group, but also invisible rich people from some big families.

Whether it's the clothes or the decorations on the body, if you put on a suit and change it to a number, it will definitely make people lose their glasses.

The suits on Azu's body are also expensive, but compared to most of the custom-made clothes handmade by famous Italian masters, the price is far lower.

On the contrary, he was wearing a 'traveler's ring'. Under the bright lights, the sapphire also emitted a faint blue light, which was really extraordinary.

Compared with those ring watches worn by men, it is virtually a higher grade.

In the reception hall, men or women formed small circles, and low laughter came from time to time, obviously they knew each other.

Although everyone who came to participate in the auction would be rivals, but at this time, no one wanted to miss the opportunity to show their connections and meet more friends.

Azu didn't see Angelina, so he walked to the corner in a low-key manner, took a glass of champagne casually, and waited for the auction to start.

In the hall, everyone formed a circle, and there was no one like Azu who was alone.

So when people looked at him, they cast all sorts of meaningful glances.

Azu didn't take those gazes to heart at all, even if some of them seemed to be questioning how a face-faced person like him would appear on this occasion.

At this time, a deep voice sounded: "Get out of the way!"

Then someone pressed on Azu's shoulder, trying to push him away.

however.

How could it be possible to move.

Azu didn't move at all, and even took a sip of champagne before slowly looking at the person who pushed him away.

This sturdy caucasian man, his full muscles are outlined in the suit, wearing black sunglasses, bluetooth headset, looks like either a bodyguard or an assistant.

He probably didn't expect that he couldn't push Azu away, so he was stunned for a while, but unfortunately he couldn't see his eyes clearly because he was wearing sunglasses.

The man said impatiently: "I told you to make way, did you hear me?"

"If you get in the way of Mr. Hank, you'll be in trouble."

His words resounded in the hall, and many people looked here.

Before Azu could speak, he heard someone coming out from behind and said, "Sir, please stand aside."

"The one who will enter the hall next is Mr. Christ Hanke. Mr. Hanke doesn't want to be disturbed before participating in the auction."

Azu looked back.

It turned out to be a hall manager, and the name on the sign hanging on his chest: Berkeley Lauder.

Azu laughed: "Why, is he shameless?"

Immediately, many ladies in the hall laughed.

A few men also smiled kindly, but most of them shook their heads, feeling that Azu was ignorant.

How could there be such a fool, Hall Manager Berkeley Lauder thought.

Then I thought, the Crist family is a wealthy Italian family, and everyone in the federation knows about it.

It's not surprising that this guy in front of him looks kind but is dressed in 'ordinary' clothes.

The lobby manager said in a deep voice, "Sir, please don't make trouble for no reason."

Azu laughed: "I am here to participate in the auction. Strictly speaking, I am also your guest."

"I'm just standing here drinking champagne, why am I making trouble for no reason."

At this time, the bodyguard of the Christ family was impatient: "Mr. Hank is about to arrive."

The lobby manager hurriedly laughed and said, "I'll take care of it soon."

He looked at Azu: "Sir, do you have an invitation letter?"

"Our auction tonight is not open to the public. Only those who have received the invitation letter will be able to attend the auction."

Azu took out the invitation letter from Angelina from his pocket, and handed it over.

The hall manager took it and opened it, saw the name 'John' written on it, and asked the backstage to check, and found out that there was indeed such a person.

But after glancing at the bodyguards of the Christ family, the hall manager tore up the invitation letter in twos and twos: "I think someone must have made a mistake. Sorry, Mr. John, you are not on the invitation list."

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

"Couldn't it have bribed the auction house to sneak in?"

"I've heard that in order to do business with rich people, some people deliberately pay to buy insiders of various high-end places, let him enter and leave the place, and take the opportunity to get close to those rich people."

"I really can't see that someone would do such a thing now."

"You can tell by looking at his clothes. Who would wear something from a store when you come to an auction of this level?"

The hall manager raised his hand and said in a low voice, "Mr. John, this way please."

He whispered, "Please don't ask me to call security."

The corner of Azu's mouth raised, and a bright smile appeared: "Of course you don't need to call the security guard."

He was about to crush this ant that dared to play tricks on him, when he heard Angelina's voice.

"Mr. John is my guest."

"Who dares to let him go!"

All the eyes in the hall looked forward, and Angelina in full costume came like a queen.

Recently, as the successor of Kaidon Group, he is also the vice president of Water Company.

Angelina, a young girl, stepped into the world of federal high society and became the center of attention.

Now hearing her say that the man in front of him was invited by her, the hall manager's expression turned ugly. After all, he just tore up his invitation letter.

"Ms. Angelina, please listen to my explanation."

Angelina came over, bowed slightly to Azu, and then looked at the lobby manager's badge.

"Mr. Berkeley Lauder."

"you can go now."

"I will protest to the auction house later, as the hall manager, I am so rude to my friend."

"This is a major dereliction of duty!"

The hall manager broke out in a cold sweat. If Angelina really did this, it is conceivable that the auction house would definitely fire him.

Angelina then looked at Azu, smiled and said, "Mr. John, please forgive me for being late."

"Come with me, we can enter early."

Azu nodded, looked at the hall manager, and said from the bottom of his heart: "You are so lucky, Mr. Berkeley, you have to thank this lady."

If Angelina didn't show up, Mr. Berkeley wouldn't be as simple as losing his job.

As for whether the manager of the hall knew that he had come back from the ghost gate tonight, Azu didn't care.

But when they were about to leave, a voice sounded from behind.

"Mr. Berkeley didn't do it on purpose, Miss Angelina, are you making too much of a fuss?"

"Mr. Berkeley, don't worry, I will explain the situation to the auction house later."

"You'll be fine."

Azu looked back, and it turned out to be a rather young man in his early twenties, with blond hair and blue eyes, and an Italian accent.

Angelina whispered: "He is Christ Hank, and he is also our biggest opponent in the auction tonight."

Christ Hanke looked at Azu again.

"Who is this gentleman?"

"It must not be easy for you to be greeted by Miss Angelina so respectfully."

"But it's strange that I don't know you."

Azu smiled, put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked forward, not wanting to communicate with him at all.

Angelina followed, also not willing to make friends with the Christ family.

The young man who was left alone touched his nose and said with a dry smile: "It seems that I have been underestimated."

"In this way, it is even more imperative for me to acquire the venue at night."

"After buying it, build a hotel and surrounding shopping malls. Use it as the bridgehead for our Christ family to enter the federation. This battle must not be lost!"

Next to him, the hall manager who kept his job because of Christ Hanke, now respectfully invites this young rich man to follow him to the auction hall.

After a while, the auction started. After all the guests in the hall had left, Arnold from Olga's company arrived late.

Although his body was thinner than before, Arnold's complexion was unusually rosy while walking.

"This is the Federal Auction House I told you about. I checked and there is a woman named Angelina among the guests tonight."

"She and the people of the motherland seem to be very close. Not long ago, when she was assassinated and injured in the Tower of Seven, the people of the motherland rescued her and healed her."

"So, if you can possess her, I think there should be a high chance of finding someone from the motherland."

Next to him was a black bodyguard, who was wearing sunglasses and said with a cold expression.

"Better like you said."

The two of them headed for the hall as they walked.

At this time, if someone took off the bodyguard's sunglasses, they would see that the black man's eyes were terrified now.

He seemed unable to control his body, words and actions.

At this time, the auction has already started.

The first item to be auctioned is a piece of jewelry said to have been worn by the princesses of medieval French kings.

As soon as this piece of jewelry came to the stage, there were many people competing for it. In the end, Harry Winston Wright, the largest jeweler in the Federation, took the auction for this gemstone necklace named 'God's Blessing'.

The 48-year-old Wright is the head of Harry Winston, the top federal jewelry company.

Photographing this piece of jewelry is also to prepare for the 'World Jewelry Exhibition' jointly organized by jewelers from various countries in the near future.

Immediately afterwards, the auction house auctioned several items one after another, some were sold, and some failed.

After half an hour.

The host cleared his throat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is going to be auctioned now is a piece of land in Southampton, New York."

Before the host finished his introduction, someone raised a placard: "5 million."

The host froze for a moment.

Then pairs of eyes looked towards the person holding the sign.

The person holding the sign was Christ Hanke's assistant.

Suddenly caused a lot of commotion.

When people saw the members of this big family coming tonight, they all knew that the Christ family intended to enter the federal business circle.

But unexpectedly, as soon as Christ Hanke came, he offered a high price of 5 million yuan to take a piece of venue.

But before the host hit the hammer, he heard a crisp female voice say, "Our side will offer 10 billion."

Suddenly, the whole venue was in an uproar.

People looked at it one after another, and the person who offered the price and held up the placard was Angelina in a costume.

Some winking people couldn't help but communicate.

"That young lady actually held up the placard herself. With her status, she doesn't have to go to battle herself at all."

"It can only be said that she is holding a sign for someone else, and someone with a higher status than her?"

Under such speculation, some people looked at Azu.

Christ Hanke nodded to his assistant with a smile without changing his expression.

His assistant held up a placard and said, "12 billion."

As soon as the words fell, Angelina held up a sign without even thinking about it: "15 billion."

Christ finally changed his color. He looked at the accountant next to him. His accountant wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief.

"Sir, if it exceeds 15 billion, this site will have no value."

"But we can't be beaten down the first time we appear on the stage."

Christ glanced at the assistant and gestured.

The assistant nodded and said loudly, "20 billion."

Crist is ready for a quick fight.

But at this moment, Angelina leisurely raised the sign: "23 billion."

"Crazy, crazy, this woman actually offered such a high price."

"This is determined to fight against the Christ family."

"Is it worth it?"

Christ's face was gloomy, he adjusted a little, then stood up and smiled.

"Ms. Angelina, if you are willing to give me this piece of land, the Christ family will thank you."

Angelina didn't even look at him, she raised a sign and said, "25 billion."

Christ felt as if he had been slapped on the face, and his face was hot.

He snorted, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Angelina, since you are unwilling to let go, then I can only accompany you to the end."

Azu over there frowned, and glanced at Christ Hank casually.

The latter was about to sit down, but suddenly his whole body froze, and then he laughed loudly.

"With all due respect, in front of our Crist family, everyone here is only worthy of carrying our shoes."

"I'm sitting with you guys today, and you should be honored and grateful."

"After all, there are not many opportunities like this. Let me say bluntly, if you want to make an enemy of our family, you'd better weigh your own weight first."

"Don't be an overreaching clown."

Immediately, what Christ said offended everyone in the hall.

The jeweler who just photographed 'God's Favor' stood up and said in a deep voice, "Although the Crystal family has a rich heritage, Mr. Hank, don't you think you are too arrogant?"

An old man also snorted and stood up: "Young man, even if your father is here, he wouldn't dare to talk to us like that."

"You have a lot of guts."

Someone even pointed at Christ Hank and shouted, "You are not welcome here, please get out!"

The organizers were at a loss. Whether it was the Crist family or others, they didn't want to offend.

At this time, I dare not stand in line.

Christ's eyeballs rolled, and sweat broke out on his face, but he still laughed.

"You also yell at me?"

"What are you guys?"

"I urge you to apologize to me quickly, otherwise, our Christ family will regard you as enemies."

At this moment, even the people brought by Christ Hank were dumbfounded.

They don't know why their boss is crazy. It doesn't matter if they say these things behind their backs. If they say it on this occasion, is it because they are afraid that there are not enough enemies in the Crystal family?
And these words completely angered the guests in the venue. In the end, seeing that something was wrong, the people from the auction house had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Christ Hank to rest in the VIP room.

"No!"

At this time, Christ Hanke suddenly shouted.

"That's not what I wanted to say just now."

"I'm being controlled!"

"Who is it, stand up!"

It's fine if he doesn't say these words, but when he says these words, people treat him as a mental patient.

In the end, Christ Hank was 'invited' out of the hall, and the field naturally fell into Angelina, or Azu's pocket.

After taking pictures of the scene, Angelina looked at Azu. Although she had no evidence, her intuition told her that this incident might be done by Azu.

Master is really getting better and better, no matter from which aspect.

At the back of the hall, Arnold chuckled lightly: "This time the Christ family has lost all face."

He looked at the black bodyguard sitting next to him again: "Aren't you going to act?"

Arnold's eyes fell on Angelina in front of him.

The black bodyguard sitting next to him said in a deep voice at this moment.

"My gut tells me that approaching her now is dangerous."

Arnold was stunned: "What danger will it be?"

The black bodyguard shook his head: "I don't know, but I trust my intuition, it has kept me alive until now."

Arnold shrugged his shoulders: "That's up to you."
