"Mr. Lloyd, please… wait!" Joaquin panicked when he saw Andrew refusing to budge. He wanted to stop him but did not dare, and he could only watch helplessly as Andrew walked away.
Grinding his teeth, he turned to Enzo and urged, "Mr. Reyes, we can't let this slip away!"
Enzo was already tempted. He hated Andrew and wanted to put him in his place, but his dislike did not extend to the ninth-grade supreme elixir Andrew had revealed. Everyone knew such pills were priceless. In the Reyes family's auction house, even with their reach and wealth, a ninth-grade elixir was a once-in-a-lifetime treasure.
Only Sovereign's Apothecary could produce them in Chetvine, and they never brought their pills here to sell. No one that smart would hand such treasures over to the Reyes family.
Clenching his jaw, Enzo rushed forward and blocked Andrew's path. "Fine, leave the pills here and let our auction house handle the rest. But let me be clear: the house takes at least half the cut. And as for that ninth-grade Marble Essence Pill, we'll buy it directly."
His tone carried no hint of negotiation; it was a command.
In Enzo's mind, there was nothing wrong with this. The Grand Auction House was under his control. Even patriarchs and martial saints treated him with respect here, so why should he compromise?
However, Joaquin shook his head furiously. The manager sent from the family headquarters was young and clearly had no experience in business.
With his arrogant posture, why would Andrew ever agree? And more importantly, this was not just anyone; this was the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince, a figure whose status was untouchable in Chetvine.
Andrew chuckled. "Half the cut? And you want my ninth-grade elixir? Why don't you pull down your pants and take a piss on your own reflection, see if that ugly mug of yours has the right to even ask?"
