Chapter 811 - Three Godly Figures
Chapter 811 Three Godly Figures
Everyone was shocked!
Everyone widened their eyes as they looked at the middle-aged man sitting in the middle.
Everyone in the room knew Lucas’s identity, but no one thought that anyone would dare to openly vie with Lucas for the land!
Besides, Lucas’s bid was 81 million dollars, yet this person actually bid 150 million dollars, which was almost double Lucas’s bid.
At this price, it was basically very difficult to profit from this land. … Unless this person’s motive was just to go against Lucas!
This person was naturally Oscar, who had already made up his mind to vie with Lucas for this plot of land. But to the various top families of Orange County, he was just a stranger.
“Damn it. Which fool is bidding? How dare he go against Mr. Gray? He must be tired of living!”
“Yeah, Mr. Gray is the overlord of two states. Who is so audacious as to go against him openly?”
“Quickly look there. It’s him. I haven’t seen him before. Do you know who he is?”
“I don’t know. He’s probably from another state, and he definitely doesn’t know Mr. Gray’s identity. That’s why he’s foolishly vying with Mr. Gray! Tsk, tsk, who knows where he got his invitation from!”
“Haha, he’s going to be in trouble for offending Mr. Gray. He’s going to cry later!” The people in the room began mocking Oscar one after another.
Pamela seemed to be gloating as if she was watching an interesting show. She even looked at Oscar with sympathy as if she was looking at a dead person.
Lucas definitely wasn’t a pushover who would let anyone walk all over him. She reckoned that the Smiths must have instructed Oscar to confront Lucas. After all, in DC, it was no longer a secret that Vince Smith had been forced to kneel and apologize by Lucas.
However, Oscar was undoubtedly courting death and completely destroying any possibility of reconciliation between the Smiths and Lucas.
Lucas wouldn’t be merciful to a family that repeatedly offended him.
Oscar ignored the surrounding gazes as he remained sitting and asked smugly, “Lucas Gray, if you change your mind now and decide to submit to the Smiths, I can give you another opportunity and give you this land as a gift. How about it?”
Lucas sneered. He couldn’t be bothered to speak to Oscar.
But while Lucas didn’t say anything, the people from California couldn’t sit still anymore as they burst into laughter after hearing what Oscar said.
“Hahahaha, this is hilarious. This fool is actually demanding that Mr. Gray pledges allegiance to him? How ridiculous!”
“Mr. Gray is the overlord of California and Oregon. Who in this world can make him submit? This person is dreaming!”
“Who on earth is this fool? He said that his last name is Smith. Is there a wealthy Smith family in California?”
“No, no, he’s probably from one of the eight top families in DC! Shut up, everyone!”
“W-what? The Smiths of the eight top families of DC?”
At first, these people from powerful families were laughing at Oscar’s overestimation of his own abilities. But when someone guessed that Oscar was from the Smiths of the eight top families of DC, those mocking him immediately had their jaws drop and began shivering and sweating.
The reason they spoke just now was to please Lucas. But when they knew that the person they mocked was a big shot from one of the eight top families, they were instantly frightened and wanted to shove their words back into their mouths.
The two big shots were having a showdown!
They could no longer be involved in who won and obtained the land in the end.
Just as Lucas narrowed his eyes and was about to place another bid, Pamela suddenly beat him to it and raised the bidding card in her hand. “Three hundred million!”
Everyone was in an uproar!
Pamela’s bid was twice Oscar’s!
The starting price of over 35 million dollars for a piece of land has now increased multiple times to 300 million dollars. It was simply crazy!
“Oh my God! Who is she? This beautiful woman even offered three hundred million in one breath. This is too amazing!”
“Three hundred million! I’m going to have a heart attack! I’ve never seen three hundred million dollars in cash in my life! But this piece of land… will definitely incur losses at a price of three hundred million!”
“This… It was originally two big shots fighting, and now another one has appeared. This level of competition is simply not something we’re qualified to attend!”
The auction hall was noisy and boisterous, and the slightly chubby auctioneer fell into a frenzy of excitement because of the sudden sky-high prices. His voice even broke as he said, “Three hundred million! This beautiful lady has bid three hundred million! Does anyone want to bid higher?”
Oscar’s face was so gloomy and sullen that the veins on his forehead were bursting out as his fingers tightly gripped the armrest of his chair.
He wanted to snatch the land from Lucas’s hand and use it to attack Lucas and his company.
In his prediction, Lucas could at most put together a hundred and fifty million dollars or so, which was incomparable to his financial power.
He planned to use the Smiths’ financial strength to suppress Lucas and take the land by the river to build the largest cemetery in Orange County so as to force Lucas to bow down to him and the Smiths.
But at this time, the woman from the Howards actually jumped out and intervened!
“Hmph, does the Howard family want to get involved too?” A trace of ruthless menace appeared in Oscar’s eyes as he stared at Pamela.
But Pamela smiled radiantly and said, “Uncle Oscar, it’s not right for you to say that. This is an auction where all participants have the right to bid. You can’t forbid the Howards from bidding.”
Oscar shot her a look of abhorrence and warned, “Don’t give me that smile! I advise you not to get involved in this mess!”
“Uncle Oscard, are you scared?” Pamela was not afraid of Oscar’s threat at all and provoked him. “If you’re afraid and don’t dare to bid against me, you should quit!”
“Hmph!” Oscar sneered and raised the bidding card in his hand. “Three hundred and one million!”
