While waiting for the auction to start, Neo's mind wandered.
'The Senate wants me to spread my bloodline.'
'On the other hand, Zeus Clan wants to kill me.'
'Is it safe to say Zeus Clan is moving alone, or are they trying to use a smokescreen to hide their true intentions?'
Whatever it was, Neo had no intention of marrying or having a kid.
It was clear Zeus Clan bore ill intentions against his bloodline.
They would go after his wife or child, too.
It was an unnecessary burden for Neo.
"Welcome to the Hargraves Auction, dear guests!"
Neo looked down over the auction hall from the VVIP room on the second floor when he heard the auctioneer.
Wealthy patrons wearing tailored attire sat in rows of velvet seats.
Their eyes gleamed.
Their faces revealed the anticipation they had for the auction as they murmured among themselves.
