NovelEnglishChapter 720 Really, what was the point of the Leaf family's auction? Why not just give away every auctioned item to the Lionhearts?! "Hmph. In that case, excuse me." "Yeah, well, the Lionhearts are too big for the rest of us to mess with anyway." Eventually, one of the bidders got up and left... and soon, there were groups of them.
"Huh... Wait, wait, wait, please don't go!" Jenny called out from the stage, but most of the bidders were packing up to leave anyway.
After all, it was now clear that they had no reason to attend this auction

"What..." Sif was left stunned as she watched the crowd leaving the auction hall, never expecting everyone to leave just like that.
But their reason was simple, with Frank being the precedent—if any of them chanced upon some treasure now, they could only leave with Sif's permission.
If she said no, it was time to hand it over—or one would expect the wrath of the Lionhearts.
And since no one present could afford to suffer the wrath of the Lionhearts, they had the same idea: if they could not afford to mess with them, could they not just keep their distance? In a split second, Sif became the most
hated person in the auction hall.
While no one would ever dare say it, most bidders were leaving because of her, and the lively hall turned very quiet within minutes.
"No..." Jenny could cry on stage—she still had half a catalog worth of items that were not auctioned yet! | And though she would not dare to say anything even as she turned to Sif, she already hated the other woman to the bone! Either way, Sif had utterly tarnished the Lionhearts' reputation in Norsedam! "Stop!" Sif strode up, standing before Frank since he was leaving too. "How dare you besmirch my family's reputation! You're really asking for

"Look around you—you ruined your family's reputation. I really don't think anyone in Norsedam is interested in a partnership with your family anymore, and it's all your fault. Now, move!" Frank shoved Sif out of his way and strode out of the auction hall with Trevor, who leveled a condescending look at Sif.
Sif was left spacing out for a moment.
When she looked around again, everyone still around her was staring at her with cool hostility—just as Frank had said. She certainly could not expect anyone else to play nice after |
threatening someone in broad daylight, and so vindictively at that.
Jenny got off stage right then, her expression impassive as she approached Sif. "Ms. Lionheart, I'm afraid this auction is over. You should go since the cleaners will soon come to tidy up the auction hall." "Y-You dare tell me to leave?!" Sif growled in disbelief.
"No, we'd never dare..." Jenny shook her head. "Though it's unlikely we'd be seeking a partnership with your family either. After all, my family estate is too modest to endure your...
devastation."
