My Waste Husband novel Chapter 1213

The auction continued.

What happened during actioning the stone disk was perceived as an impulsive young man's attempt to offend the Lin Family. No one would have thought that it was the battle among the top organizations of the world.

Gardiner was sitting on the couch outside of the hall, enjoying his cigarette. He looked as if he was having a vacation.

"By the way," Henry sat across Gardiner and looked at Gardiner's satisfied face. Henry couldn't help but ask, "The cigarette you are sucking on, did you take them from my wife's restaurant?"

"Young man, why are you so narrow- minded?" Gardiner immediately scolded Henry, "We're talking about very important matters now. Why are you so focused on the trivials? As your senior, I'd say you are in need of a lecture!"

Henry rolled his eyes. He had seen a lot during the brief time he had spent with Ranjeet. Gardiner's behavior was nothing compared to Ranjeet's shamelessness.

Henry asked, "What are you going to do today? Taking it up directly in the downtown area?"

"Impossible," Gardiner shook his head, "The purpose of Section Nine is to maintain the stability of the society. We can't go to battle with Alvin League directly on the streets. Alvin League won't do that either, no matter how crazy they are. What we are going to do is counting on the ultimate strength of ordinary people. By the way, you need to control yourself in a while."

"The ultimate strength of ordinary people?" Henry was confused, but he soon understood, "You mean, we don't use Qi?"

"Yes," Gardiner stretched and said, "The ultimate strength under the Qi-controlling Realm, I think you should be familiar with the expression. Let's go. The auction should be over soon."

"To the backstage?" Henry asked. He was convinced that people from Alvin League would replace the real artifact with a counterfeit.

Gardiner shook his head, "The young girl who didn't get along with you took the stone disk on the spot. I'm afraid we have to be her bodyguards. A lesson won't be the only thing the young kid will get. There will be a scare as well. Haha."

Henry shrugged, "She dug her own grave. It's not like something I can help her with."

Gardiner suddenly looked at Henry with a puzzled look, "I am curious. How did you..."

"Stop," Henry made a gesture to stop Gardiner from speaking his questions, "I know you have investigated my past. For those things that you can't find, I won't tell you even if you ask."

"Haha, some of your experience in the past is really a mystery to us," Gardiner squinted, "In fact, a lot of people are curious. Where were you during the three months after you buried Immortal Lu?"

Henry kept silent.

Seeing Henry's reaction, Gardiner didn't keep pushing Henry. Gardiner had made his point.

"Let's go," Gardiner suddenly returned to his tongue-in-cheek demeanor, "Quickly, it's time to battle."

As soon as Gardiner finished his words, a burst of applause was heard from within the hall. Then, someone was reading thank- you notes. The auction was over.

Soon, the door of the hall was opened. Guests were exiting the hall.

Henry and Gardiner put their focus on Nadeen.

Nadeen held an exquisite gift box in her hands. What lying in the box was Alvin League's target, the third Medium that could open the Loulan inheritance.

Gardiner narrowed his eyes and said, "After we found out the relationship between Enkidu Inc. and Alvin League, we asked the government to pressure Enkidu Inc. to donate all the relics they discovered from the Loulan ruins. So Enkidu Inc. made this gimmick. Because you are here, we also have some extra time. Otherwise, I'm afraid Alvin League would have left with the stone disk already."
