Listening to the other party’s effusive praise, Luo Feng didn’t know what kind of expression to make.
He had conducted research before going to Atlanta, so he knew what kind of power dynamics were at play there. However, this trip to Florida was more spontaneous.
In fact, if it hadn’t been for Charlie giving him that black card, Luo Feng might not have even considered coming here at all.
The man’s sudden self-introduction, combined with an apparent sense of pride, indicated that this so-called Blake family must have considerable influence in Florida.
But so what?
Luo Feng wasn’t going to change his attitude toward someone just because they were a wealthy scion.
“I’m afraid I haven’t heard of this Blake family you speak so highly of. Are they really that remarkable?” Luo Feng’s words pierced through the young Mr. Blake’s defenses.
After all, in Florida, there was hardly anything he couldn’t accomplish if he wished. Anyone meeting him usually paid their respects, addressing him as
“young master.”
But now, to be mocked by this unknown individual? His pride was deeply wounded, and his anger flared.
“I never thought someone in Florida would dare speak to me like this. You’re the first, and I suspect you’ll be the last.”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and his hangers-on immediately circled around Luo Feng.
Anyone else might have felt a twinge of fear with so many people surrounding them, but not Luo Feng.
“Are you sure you want to cause trouble here? This isn’t a place where you can act recklessly. ”
As soon as Luo Feng had spoken, the man burst into derisive laughter.
“We can’t act recklessly? Are you misunderstanding me, or are you misunderstanding the words ‘act recklessly’?”
With another wave of his hand, his minions surged toward Luo Feng.
Luo Feng had little choice. While dealing with these people wasn’t a big issue for him, the auction was about to begin, and he didn’t want to waste any more time here. But if it was unavoidable, then so be it. Just as Luo Feng was preparing to take action, the security guard who had earlier gone to verify his identity rushed out and respectfully approached him.
“Sir, we’ve verified your identity. My apologies for the delay. Please enter; the auction will start shortly.”
“Also, according to the rules, you may choose two attendants to accompany you. Did you bring any attendants?”
Luo Feng shook his head, then followed the security guard toward the interior of the venue. At that moment, young Mr. Blake was stunned to see Luo Feng actually qualified to attend an auction of this caliber.
“How can someone so unremarkable have the qualifications to attend such an auction?”
Blake’s question echoed unanswered.
Ignoring Blake’s near-hysterical voice, Luo Feng paused and glanced back at him, “If you’d like to go inside, I don’t mind taking you as one of my attendants.”
Though not intended as mockery, in Blake’s ears, it was the ultimate insult.
“Who do you think you are to have me as your attendant? Also, just so you know, the Blake family is also qualified to attend this auction. My father will be here soon, and I’ll enter with him!”
Luo Feng simply shrugged. “In that case, you can wait outside. I’ll be inside.”
Blake’s fury intensified. “What do you mean? Are you implying I’m bluffing?” Blake continued to shout, but Luo Feng ignored him. Soon, he entered the venue.
Once inside, Luo Feng found the auction to be high-end but surprisingly small. The entire space had only about a dozen seats, without any private booths.
Most of the seats were already taken, with only a few vacant spots remaining.
Luo Feng located his designated seat and sat down.
Within a couple of minutes, Blake also arrived. The first thing he did was search for Luo Feng, even going so far as to flip him off as a petty form of revenge.
Seeing Blake’s pettiness, Luo Feng couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing.
But he had come here to examine artifacts, not to engage in trivial disputes.
As the auction had yet to begin, Luo Feng activated his system scan, curious to see what treasures would be offered..
