Chapter 429 Underground Auction
Brady stared at Manuel’s back ***. He was so angry that his whole body trembled, but he could do nothing.
He did not have time to waste with Manuel. The most important project of the Wade Group this year had already been snatched away. He had to think of other ways to make up for it as soon as possible.
Just as he was at his wit’s end, the marketing department director proposed a new plan.
“Mr. Wade, Dakota Huffman is obsessed with antiques. If you can give him a gift that he likes, maybe we can consider developing abroad. In this way, even if the Gage Group wants to intervene again, it will not be easy.”
It was the only way they could think of.
Dakota was a big shot in a multinational company. If they made friends with Dakota, they would be able to
get more cooperation through him.
However, although Dakota had a deep influence in the industry, his temper was weird, which was known by
everyone.
Brady did not think for long before he agreed. He asked someone to check the latest activities of the large
auction houses.
The assistant, Kolten Fischer, soon replied, “Mr. Wade, there will be a black market opening in two days. I

learned from our people that there will be something we want in this auction.”
“Prepare a car and a blank check. We must seize this opportunity at all costs.” Brady gently stroked the
luminous pearl on his walking stick and narrowed his eyes.

The underground auction houses were very different from the official ones. The most obvious features were
that there were all kinds of people and that the law didn’t work there. As long as you had money and power,
human lives could be freely traded.
The people you accidentally bumped into might look ordinary, but they could ****you easily.
Brady only brought two bodyguards with him. Before entering the auction house, he told them to keep a low
profile.
Originally, the capital chain of the Wade Group was in imminent danger. If they provoked some powerful
people, it would be troublesome for them.
The space of the underground trading house was very large, which was about the area of two buildings.
including air boxes and rows of seats.
Brady paid more than 35 thousand dollars in deposit to get a private room in the corner, but it was better than the position on the ground.

The auctioneer went on stage, wearing a mysterious black mask, and said in a mechanical voice, “Dear guests, welcome to the auction venue. Our auction house has carefully prepared fifty items for everyone, and
1think you have learned about the items in advance.
“Then, let’s cut the ****. We will start with the first item, which is a painting about ***by a famous painter in
the world. The starting price is 200 million dollars.”
The first auction item was at such a high price. Brady’s face instantly became serious.
He had underestimated this auction. Today, he was afraid that he would have to spend a lot of money to get
what he wanted.
The items he wanted were ranked last. After a few hours, Brady had already started to feel uneasy.
When the enchanting women finally pushed out the pharaoh mask and scepter and the auctioneer had just reported the lowest price, Brady pressed the number button. “1 billion dollars.”
That was all he could offer. If someone added more, the plan would not be ruined.
Brady leaned forward and scanned the other boxes in the venue as if he was facing a great enemy.
The auctioneer had already started the countdown. Just as Brady was about to heave a sigh of relief, a
familiar male voice suddenly sounded, and he offered twice the price.
Brady suddenly froze, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Brady turned around and looked at Kolten. He gritted his teeth and asked, “Didn’t I tell you to keep it a secret?
Why is Manuel here?”
Kolten did not expect it. He was sweating, explaining, “1… I don’t know either. I have arranged for follow-up
work. He can’t possibly know!”
It was too late to say anything now, and Brady couldn’t compete with Manuel.
Brady raised the price several times, but Manuel offered more.
Brady’s eyes were gloomy and the wrinkles on his face were slightly shaking from anger.
He stood up with his cane and said in a low voice, “Let’s go and wait for him in the car.”
Kolten didn’t realize his meaning.
Before he could react, he subconsciously asked, “Who will we wait for?”
Brady glanced at the private boxes and gradually calmed down. “We’ll wait for someone who has
premeditated.”
After these words, Brady took the lead to walk out of the private room, and Kolten hurriedly followed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmManuel came out of the venue until the auction ended, and when he walked out, he was stopped by a black
car, which was within his expectations.
He made a gesture to people behind him, opened the door, and sat down.
Brady sat beside Manuel, closed his eyes, and said, “Manuel, sometimes it’s better to spare others. What else
do you want to do?”
Brady said in an overbearing tone, and the atmosphere in the car was tense.
Manuel crossed his hands on his legs and was not affected at all. Instead of answering, he asked, “Mr. Wade, can you tell me what you said to my grandfather a few days ago?”
Brady frowned uncontrollably for a moment and then relaxed. He sighed heavily, “I am sorry to hear about your grandfather’s matter, but you have to understand that we are all old. No one knows what will happen.”
Manuel stared at him coldly, “All the surveillance cameras in the villa disappeared that day. Does this have
nothing to do with you?”
Brady pretended to be angry and his voice became much louder, “Don’t talk nonsense. Is it because of me that your grandfather had a heart attack? You have no evidence.”
Manuel sneered, “If I had evidence, we wouldn’t be sitting together and talking now.”
Brady was so angry that he was short of breath. After a long time, he felt better, but he could no longer control the anger in his heart, saying bluntly, “Manuel, don’t think that I’m too old to see through anything. You broke up with my granddaughter because of Ainsley, right? If you still target the Wade Group regardless’ of the consequences, then you’d better do all you can to protect your woman, or I’ll find a chance to deal with
her.”
At the mention of Ainsley, Manuel was immediately filled with killing intent. The smile on his face
disappeared.
Brady thought that he had grasped Manuel’s weakness. However, what Manuel said made Brady despair. His face was pale, his whole body was weak, and his face showed an expression of horror.
After Manuel got out of the car, Brady’s eyes darkened. He bit his lips hard and forced himself to calm down Then he said to Kolten, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, “Go home now.”
Kolten heard the conversation between the two of them. He looked at Brady’s terrified face in the rearview
mirror, feeling puzzled.
Manuel just mentioned an address in Ocala, but why did Brady, who was usually calm, panic? Was there any
hidden reason?
Kolten was puzzled, but he did not dare to ask Brady, so he could only keep it in his heart.
