When everybody saw Matthew, they were shocked and they started questioning each other who he was.
Meanwhile, Ambrose frowned slightly. He thought Matthew was just Crystal’s friend. Even though he
didn’t look ordinary, Ambrose wasn’t bothered. After all, he had never heard of Matthew’s name before.
Ambrose didn’t expect Matthew to be bold enough to bid with three big shots in this situation. As for
Roman, he glanced at Matthew and didn’t recognize him. However, he didn’t dare to be careless.
Roman raised his hands and said, “Hey sir, I have an important use for this magical artifact. If you’re
willing to let it go, I’ll be extremely grateful!”
It was a show of respect for a big shot like Roman to speak to Matthew in such a friendly tone.
The people around were envious. After all, having Roman owe a favor was a great deal. However,
Matthew directly shook his head and said, “This magical artifact will be useless if you take it.”
A cold expression instantly appeared on Roman’s face. In a solemn tone, he asked, “Does that mean
that you want to go against me? I forgot to ask you your name!”
Just then, Herman, who was sitting in the back row, suddenly burst into laughter and said, “Uncle
Roman, that b*stard’s name is Matthew. He’s from Eastcliff and he’s a live-in son-in-law. His wife has a
herbary and he hooked up with Joseph Harrison’s daughter from Eastcliff. He’s just a boy toy who loves
to spend women’s money. There’s no need to treat him with respect!”
Herman and the others resented Matthew and they had been looking for opportunities to take revenge.
They didn’t expect Matthew to go against a big shot, and this gave them a chance. So, Herman directly
exposed Matthew’s identity so that Roman would know that Matthew was a loser. That way, Roman
could teach him a lesson.
Zanya and the others looked at Matthew mockingly. Even if Crystal was really close with Ambrose, now
that Matthew provoked Roman, Ambrose might not protect him!
Roman’s face turned sullen. At first, he thought Matthew was from a powerful family but instead, he was
just a loser live-in son-in-law.
I can’t believe a man like this would dare to bid against me! Is he trying to seek death?!
At that moment, Roman glared at Ambrose and sneered, “Mr. Arnold, since when have you dropped to
this level? How can you just let anyone in? Are you looking down on us? Or do you look down on all of
your fellow friends here?”
Hearing this, Richard chimed, “160 million? Is it so profitable to be a gigolo nowadays? You’re really
good at spending a woman’s money. It’s really the first time I’ve seen such a shameless person!”
Ambrose’s expression darkened. If it was Crystal who created trouble, he would definitely do everything
to protect her. However, Matthew didn’t mean anything to him so he naturally didn’t care. So, he waved
his hand to gesture at Horton to kick Matthew out. Just then, Leonard suddenly stood up.
Running all the way up to Matthew, he looked at him respectfully and in a trembling voice, he said, “Mr.
Larson, wh-why are you here? I didn’t know you were here! If I had known sooner, I would’ve paid you a
visit myself!”
At that instant, everyone was dumbfounded.
Leonard was a powerful man. Even people like Roman, Richard, and Norris had to treat him with
respect. After all, Leonard had a great reputation and strong connections that no one at the scene could
compete with.
Aside from the Greatest Families from the six southern states, the elders of the Greatest Families of the
northern states had to treat Leonard with courtesy as well. The top five best doctors in the nation were
definitely important figures no matter where they went.
They had only seen people treat Leonard with respect, and they had never seen Leonard be so
respectful toward others.
What is happening right now? Why is Leonard so respectful toward Matthew? Moreover, Leonard even
mentioned paying Matthew a visit, which shows how highly he thinks of Matthew. Just who is this
person?
