Just as Attlee was trying to walk through the entrance with his wife and daughter, with the invitation in hand, one of the security guards stopped him on the spot.
"Sorry, sir, which corporation do you represent?"
Attlee was taken aback. "Didn't you see my text just now? Haven't you heard of the Murphy group?"
"The Murphy group?" The security guard seemed genuinely clueless. Today's auction was filled with top-notch corporations, and he had never heard of smaller ones like the Murphy Group.
He hurriedly asked his colleague, "Is the Murphy group also participating in the auction today?”
"I'm not sure. It doesn't ring a bell. Let me check."
“Sorry, could you please wait a moment?"
Attlee and his family seemed a tad unhappy being held up at the gate. "This is the text you guys sent me to remind me to come over today; how could this be an issue? Can't a text prove my identity?"
Olga couldn't help but blurt out, "He's the richest man in Tranquil City!"
"Tranquil City?" The security guard in charge was visibly dumbfounded. He hadn't heard of such a place.
Another security guard also looked lost. "Tranquil City? Where's that?"
A third guard couldn't help but whisper, “Summerfield is divided into four districts, and the least developed one is the North District. The North District has four counties, and the least developed one is Seraphim Haven. Within Seraphim Haven, there are four towns, and the least developed one is Tranquil City. That's the Tranquil City he's talking about."
The other two guards were left speechless. They finally realized that he was the richest man from a small town in Summerfield, not some big shot they mistook him for.
Seeing the bewildered and speechless expressions on the faces of the guards, Attlee and Olga felt extremely awkward.
