Some men looked at Sonia with disbelief, while others seemed annoyed.

Because they had also stayed at high-end hotels, knew Sonia's identity, and had invited her to attend certain events, but she declined each time.

Although Sonia's attitude was already very tactful, being rejected is still a very unpleasant experience.

Not to mention that for people with hundreds of millions in assets like them, even beautiful women around them who want to throw themselves at them have to consider their own interests.

However, over the years, they have not seen Sonia accompany anyone to any high-end occasions.

So even though I felt uncomfortable, since others couldn't do it either, I could at least feel at ease.

But now that Sonia is accompanying other guests, they feel very unhappy.

They wanted to see whether the owner of this luxury car was a man or a woman.

If it's a woman, then it's all fine. But if it's a man, then it proves that he's not as good as that man, which no man can tolerate.

But when they saw a tall figure wearing purple-gold armor and a golden mask get out of the car, Sonia gently took his arm.

This immediately dispelled their resentment and desire to compare themselves to others.

Because Kassadin's name had already entered their field of vision long before it resounded throughout the galaxy.

Some even wanted to designate Kassadin to do certain things for them, but were refused.

Even if they wanted to retaliate, they couldn't, because Kassadin's strength was far more terrifying than that of the Nova Corps.

This is the first person in the history of the bounty hunter world in all these years to be called a level three bounty hunter.

It's no exaggeration to say that Kassadin is a humanoid monster comparable to a natural disaster.

They can handle the others easily; they can find their weaknesses and use any means necessary to strike back.

However, if they were to actively oppose Kassadin, this monster, they would be courting death.

As soon as Sonia got out of the car, she immediately recognized several guests who had previously stayed at the Celebrity Hotel and could feel their displeased looks.

This made her feel a little pressured, but Sonia noticed that these gazes disappeared as soon as Mr. Kassadin got out of the car.

"As expected, Mr. Kassadin is still amazing."

This made Sonia feel somewhat emotional.

Chapter 82 Auction

She had intended to dress up so as not to embarrass Mr. Kassadin, but Mr. Kassadin attracted attention as soon as he arrived.

Although she saw the void and knew that Mr. Kassadin was extremely powerful, Sonia was unaware of the outside world's impression of Mr. Kassadin.

So Sonia decided to wait until this matter was settled, then go back and investigate, and ask around.

Harvey felt the many gazes around him that avoided looking him in the eye, but he didn't mind.

Because his identity as Kassadin is different from his identity on Earth.

He needs to create a powerful enough impression on the galaxy in the name of Kassadin to attract more people to join the Void.

Therefore, it is normal for others to feel wary or fearful of him.

"Let's go, let's get this done quickly."

Harvey noticed that Sonia was also observing him out of the corner of her eye, her eyes filled with curiosity. Instead of explaining, he spoke up.

"Ok."

Sonia now understood why Mr. Kassadin had said the auction wasn't an important occasion, but since she was already dressed up and there was no going back, she could only try to finish things as quickly as possible.

The women accompanying these men noticed their sugar daddy and seemed somewhat interested in this newcomer.

So they all secretly observed Kassadin, wanting to know who he was.

Although they couldn't see Kassadin's full appearance, his mysterious and dignified aura as a superior told them that this person's identity was far from simple.

Moreover, Kassadin's tall and muscular physique was completely different from the fat pig beside him.

This made them cast envious, jealous, and resentful glances at Sonia, who was traveling with them.

“Mr. Kassadin, it seems I need to reconsider my behavior when traveling with you in the future…”

Sonia felt the gazes around her that seemed to want to kill her and replace her, and said in a low voice.

She knew that if she had only been a colleague and hadn't linked arms with him, the hostility she was feeling wouldn't have been so intense.

“I told you, you didn’t have to go this far.”

Harvey was already used to the gazes of those women, and when he heard Sonia's words, he said calmly.

In New York, on Earth, Harvey was an Asian, even though he wasn't a very popular Asian in America.

With his handsome appearance and legendary rise to power, he attracts a lot of attention wherever he goes, but these attentions naturally cannot affect Harvey in the slightest.

"I will remember this from now on."

Sonia nodded upon hearing the reminder in Mr. Kassadin's words.

However, Sonia glanced around and thought they were naive.

Indeed, judging from his appearance, Mr. Kassadin is definitely a handsome man under the mask.

However, once the mask was removed, apart from the golden light, Mr. Kassadin's appearance was completely obscured.

If these people knew this, they probably wouldn't have acted this way.

Regardless of whether Sonia was upset inside, she still wore a charming smile on her face, gently took Kassadin's arm, and stepped across the red carpet into the venue.

This is a tiered corridor with a total of nine levels, and the higher the level, the higher the status.

The decor was incredibly luxurious, and it was used in the venues of some large banquets.

Sonia and Kassadin made their way to the sixth floor, which was neither too high nor too low, but rather above average, so no one would gossip about it.

Sonia sat upright in her seat, and to be honest, she didn't know which piece of land Mr. Kassadin intended to bid for.

However, she knew that her duty with Mr. Kassadin was to sign the land after he won the bid, thus identifying herself as the owner of the land.

Such things are not uncommon on Xandar. Often, helping someone by lending their name can earn a considerable reward, but it also carries some risks.

If she hadn't also believed in the Void, Sonia would have refused even if Mr. Kassadin had offered her a high reward.

Even if it's just a nominal appointment, some risks go beyond just jail time; they can also lead to huge debts.

Unable to repay such a high debt, one must, according to the will of others, become someone else's mistress or even engage in prostitution for life to repay it.

However, Sonia knew how powerful Mr. Kassadin was and wasn't worried about encountering any risks.

And she also received the reward she wanted, so she could finally leave behind her 24/7 on-call job.

Although I will still have to serve Mr. Kassadin afterward, compared to serving other guests, serving Mr. Kassadin is much easier.

I have been serving Mr. Kassadin for several months now.

Every night she can take a nice bath, put on a face mask, and sleep soundly in bed.

Unlike before, she no longer needs to maintain her makeup every day and can only take a short nap on the sofa in case a call comes in the middle of the night, and she has to meet guests in a disheveled state.

This would not only damage its reputation among guests, but also affect the prestige of the luxury hotel.

As time passed, one person after another entered and went to their respective floors.

A person in charge of the auction, dressed in formal attire, began a warm-up speech before the ceremony, offering polite greetings to all the important figures present.

However, the person in charge of the auction knew what these people's purpose was, so they didn't exchange pleasantries for too long.

"The first item up for auction was a small island at sea, 120 kilometers away from Xandar."

"As you all know, this island's location, topography, and even its climate and latitude make it suitable for transformation into a resort destination."

"This island is in a prime location, not far from Xandar City, and its ability to attract visitors will be excellent. Once it's acquired, it will bring countless benefits."

As the auction manager explained, he projected a drone that took a comprehensive view of the mountain's various landforms and locations.

Finally, the drone took a bird's-eye view, presenting the entire mountain to the many guests present.

"The starting bid is 200 million, and each bid must be at least 10 million."

Finally, the person in charge of the auction announced the lowest bid.

None of the people present made an immediate bid; instead, they observed the other guests.

The money spent on buying a small island is just the beginning; the real expense comes from the subsequent development.

Therefore, buying an island with the least amount of money saves more funds for development, preventing the cash flow from becoming insufficient and forcing the island to be sold to others.

Harvey looked at the small island thoughtfully; his goal was to buy a more spacious place to build a temple for the Church of the Void.

Establishing the Void Cult requires not only a temple, but also a venue for believers to familiarize themselves with their own power.

Believing in the void not only grants them power but also provides them with a place of belonging, further strengthening their devotion to the void.

This would allow them to have more respect for the Void God Cult's precepts, preventing them from devouring their own kind at the very beginning of the Void God Cult's establishment and thus damaging the Void God Cult's reputation.

The island's location was good, preventing unauthorized individuals from the Void God Cult from inexplicably setting foot on it, so Harvey immediately raised his paddle to make a bid.

"Two hundred and fifty million."

Chapter 83 Money Blinds the Eyes

This price jumped by fifty million, drawing the attention of all the other guests present to the person who made the bid.

When they discovered that the bidder was Kassadin, most of them gave up.

However, several other people who were already planning to bid for the island also placed their bids.

"Two hundred and sixty million."

A tall, muscular man with a fierce face raised his hand.

"Two hundred and seventy million."

"Two hundred and eighty million."

"Three hundred million."

As soon as this guy made his bid, the other three followed suit.
