Chapter 2 Check If He Is A Real Man
- Janet got the message, and she mouthed coolly, "Give me a reason!"
- The man's sexy, thin lips parted again. "I'll pay you double upon my release."
- Double?
- How could such a wealthy man end up being caught here?
- Janet didn't say anything.
- The host announced, "The bid starts at 1 million."
- 1 million?
- The man in the cage. His expression darkened. Too little! I'm worth at least ten billion!
- "1.5 million."
- The first bidder was an old man with a potbelly. He held up his placard while looking as though he was salivating. He loved handsome guys best.
- "2 million."
- "3 million," a hoarse and husky voice thundered. Janet looked in the direction of the voice, and she noticed that it belonged to a balding man.
- She was rendered speechless when she saw that. Are men usually interested in other men too?
- "5 million." Janet held up her placard while smiling charmingly.
- "6 million." A bald man followed.
- Janet held up her placard calmly, "6.5 million."
- I'm not being generous or that I'm adamant on having this man. I'm merely driven by the fact that I'd receive double the price if I were to procure him.
- Janet glanced at the man in the cage. Although this man's pride was reduced to nothing and was being auctioned off, he still possessed a sharp and commanding demeanor. This was a clear indication he wasn't an ordinary person. Frankly, it was a mystery how he had managed to get himself captured.
- The price had reached a whopping 6.5 million. Mr. Potbelly hesitated to raise the bid any further.
- He glanced at the man in the cage and suddenly shouted, "Can we inspect the goods before taking the next step? I won't place any more bids if he turns out to be defective!"
- His bellow excited the crowd.
- "Inspect the goods! Inspect the goods!"
- "Strip him! Let's see if he's just as good underneath!"
- Everyone wanted to take advantage of the situation.
- The man's expression grew even darker.
- Janet frowned and looked at the auctioneer.
- The auctioneer seemed to confer with someone and then surprisingly nodded in agreement. "All right! However, only one person can come up to inspect."
- "I'll do it!"
- Mr. Potbelly rushed forward, but Janet smirked and made a small motion with her finger.
- An auction catalog flew and hit his ankle, causing him to cry out in pain and collapse to the ground.
- Janet slowly stood up and walked toward the stage. "I'll do it."
- She approached the cage under the auctioneer's guidance.
- As she stood next to the man, she could feel his aura more intensely. This time, there was no hiding the commanding presence in his eyes.
- She leaned in and whispered, "I'm shielding you away from those hyenas. You'll owe me for this."
- Her words made the man in the cage smile. His smile seemed to soften his harsh and icy edges.
- Janet was momentarily stunned by the sight. Regardless, she quickly regained her composure.
- She followed the auctioneer's instructions and lifted the man's shirt, revealing his strong, well-defined muscles. Unlike his refined appearance, his body was full of power.
- As she unwittingly lowered her gaze...
- "Oh, my."
- It was so big.
- Janet's eyes widened while the auctioneer beside her teased, "Would you like to touch it, miss?"
- "No, thank you!"
- Janet quickly tugged the shirt down with a swish. She wasn't a pervert; she was only after the man's money.
- The inspection fell to a close. Although Janet tried to shield him, her slender body couldn't fully cover him.
- The audience still caught a glimpse of his chest. Thus, their excitement grew feverish. Some of them had even started catcalling.
- Mr. Potbelly held up his placard crazily. "7 million! He's mine!"
- Janet's lips curled into a smirk. "Such a pervert. I can't believe he's competing with me over a man! I want this man."
- Just when Janet was about to make a bid of 8 million, a male voice rang loud out of nowhere.
- "Stop!"
- The crowd was bewildered. Where did that voice come from?
- Then, a group of bodyguards in black barged in to quickly control the host.
- The group of men in black pried open the metal cage, and one of them kneeled down in front of the cage. "Young Master Mason, we were inefficient in protecting you. Please punish us, Young Master Mason," exclaimed the bodyguard in black. The host was scared witless when he heard that.
- Who is Young Master Mason?
- He is Mason Lowry from the most reputable family in Sandfort City, and he is the leader of the largest financial group in the country!
- Generally, people addressed him as Young Master Mason, and he was only 25 years old. However, he possessed hundreds of millions worth of assets, and he owned businesses that were involved in countless different fields. He owned enterprises globally, and so he had the global economy within his grasp.
- "It's a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding! We had no idea that it was you! If we had known, we would never have done it, no matter the circumstance!"
- Cold sweat trickled down the host's forehead. He merely purchased him from someone else for this auction.
- "Haha." Mason laughed mirthlessly. He cackled with abandonment, and it sent chills down everybody's spine.
- "In that case, send him to the police station to investigate whom he purchased me from!"
- "Yes."
- Janet finally understood the entire story upon listening to their conversation. It's none of my concern now since someone has rescued him.
- After that, she took two steps back, dragging Lee to walk out of the venue.
- In the Lowry Residence.
- After a shower, Mason had a change of fresh clothes, and he listened lazily to the report by the man in black.
- "Young Master Mason, we managed to find out that Cyclone was the one behind this incident."
- Mason's gaze flashed with a bloodthirsty gleam. "In that case, there's no need to keep him around. Get rid of him."
- "Will do," the man in black spoke. "Young Master Mason, the woman you asked me to investigate is the Jackson Family's biological daughter, Janet Jackson, and they were only recently reunited," he added.
- "Is that all?"
- The man in black nodded. "That's the only information I found."
- Mason's lips curled into a faint smile. "Got it."
- Janet Jackson? I'm so interested in her.
