When everybody saw Matthew, they were shocked and they started questioning each other who virtual-novel.net was. Meanwhile, Ambrose frowned slightly. He thought Matthew was just Crystal’s friend. Even though virtual-novel.net didn’t look ordinary, Ambrose wasn’t bothered. After all, virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net glanced at Matthew and didn’t recognize him. However, virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net thought Matthew was from a powerful family but instead, virtual-novel.net was just a loser live-in son-in-law. ‘I can’t believe a man like this would dare to bid against me! Is virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net would definitely do everything to protect her. However, Matthew didn’t mean anything to virtual-novel.net so virtual-novel.net naturally didn’t care. So, virtual-novel.net waved his hand to gesture at Horton to kick Matthew out. Just then, Leonard suddenly stood up.
Running all the way up to Matthew, virtual-novel.net looked at virtual-novel.net respectfully and in a trembling voice, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net thinks of Matthew. Just who is this person?”
