According to Little Jerry’s analysis, it seemed to be the best course of action at the moment.

That was because Little Jerry had the absolute right to speak in the entire Northern Region.

One had to know that little Jerry’s business investments were spread throughout the entire Otherworld continent. This influence spread even in the Northern Region, where the current situation was turbulent.

On the contrary, the more unstable the region, the more it relied on various rare items.

This was the reason why Little Jerry was able to build a business empire in a short period of time.

Mike looked at Little Jerry in front of him and waited for him to finish his analysis before continuing.

“I’m afraid that old man Bart can’t wait to stop the war. We don’t have any businesses here. If he closes his shop for a day, he will lose millions of gold coins. Even if he doesn’t care, the elders behind him will not tolerate it. Therefore, if he continues to be unyielding, we can’t agree to a truce tonight. We have to delay and see if we can give them a hard time. At the very least, we have to delay him for ten days to half a month to make their hearts ache.”

Little Jerry laughed.

“However, we still have to worry that this old man is desperate. The reason why his Bart Family can be so overbearing in the Northern Region is because of the strength of their City Lord. After all, you have just entered that realm, so you have to be careful.”

Mike smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it’s still uncertain whether we will see that old bastard or not.”

Little Jerry nodded.

Would Mike be worried about the powerhouse behind the Bart Family? Of course not. As long as that powerhouse of the Bart Family used High-level energy, Mike would be able to use the dragon head to kill him.

Mike said to Little Jerry, “Are you going tonight?”

Little Jerry shook his head and said, “I don’t want to go.”

Mike heard that and nodded. He looked at Dragon said, “Alright, then I want to ask you to lend me Dragon. As for your safety, Eve will be responsible for it.”

Mike let Eve out and said to Little Jerry, “With Eve by your side, Dragon will be able to relax a little, right?”

Dragon looked at Eve and cupped his hands towards Mike. “With this person protecting master, I will be at ease.”

Eve shrunk to the size of a chopstick and flew in front of Little Jerry. She said, “Fatty, long time no see.”

Little Jerry smiled. “Long time no see, Eve.”

Little Jerry seemed to remember something and said, “By the way, I ordered the kitchen to make a spicy hot pot. Do you want to try it?”

Mike was about to ask if there were fish balls, but he suddenly changed his mind. “Forget it. Someone is treating me to dinner tonight. I’d better save some space.”

Little Jerry nodded and said goodbye to Mike. Then he took Eve to the dining room.

Eve’s voice echoed in the corridor.

“Well, you could put more meat in this spicy hot pot.”

“Oh yes, good idea...”

...

Six hours passed in the blink of an eye. Mike had changed into a suit, and he was in a luxurious carriage with Dragon. He appeared in front of the gemstone auction house on time.

Bart happened to come to the front of the Gem Auction House. He looked at Mike’s carriage from afar and frowned.

Mike’s carriage seemed to be more high-end than Bart’s. Bart used a flying tiger to pull the carriage, and Mike used four tamed wind dragons. It looked even more eye-catching.

The two carriages met in front of the auction house and stopped at the same time. The onlookers had seen such a scene before, so they all stopped to see who got off.

However, no one got off the two carriages, which caused the onlookers to start guessing.

Mike said to Dragon, “We are stronger than them in terms of spiritual power. There’s no need to be serious about this. Get off the carriage.”

Dragon heard this and nodded. Without saying anything, he turned around and got off the carriage. He used an extremely complicated set of etiquette to invite Mike out of the carriage.

Seeing this, Bart patted Haier, oh no, the butler.

Haier, oh no, the butler of the city quickly got out of the car, using the same set of extremely complicated etiquette to invite Bart out of the carriage.

However, things seemed to have turned out the way neither side had expected. There were some different voices in the crowd, which basically meant to evaluate the manners of the two sides.

The evaluation was like this: Although Mike’s side had gotten off the carriage first, Dragon had crushed Haier in terms of looks, spiritual power, and etiquette. Mike, who was wearing a formal suit, appeared gentle and refined without speaking. Mike had the appearance of an elegant young master, and he had crushed Bart, who was dressed in an old attire.

When Bart heard these words, his face twisted with anger. He hurriedly walked in front of Mike and smiled at him. “You must be Mike, right? I’ve long heard that Mike is young and promising. Seeing you today, you really live up to your reputation.”

Mike nodded and said, “You’re Bart? As expected of the Castle Lord of the Great Castle. Seeing you today, your mental strength is indeed extraordinary, especially your butler. He suits you very well.”

Hearing this, Bart glanced at the butler and then cursed Mike countless times in his heart.

However, he smiled and said to Mike, “The auction is about to begin. Let’s not stand at the door. Come in quickly.”

Bart pulled Mike’s arm and took the lead to walk in. The butler quickly followed, while Dragon followed behind Mike in a graceful manner. He acted like a butler.

“Look, that butler has a small head and a big belly. He even sticks his head out when he walks. He looks like a bastard.”

When the butler heard this, his foot slipped and he almost fell.

“Look, even though the other butler has a head full of white hair, his beard and hair are well-groomed. He is aalso very elegant. I wonder if he is married...”

Hearing this, Dragon himself almost slipped. He immediately adjusted himself.

Mike tried hard to hold back his laughter, trying to maintain his temperament.

The butler saw that Bart’s expression was getting worse, and he made up his mind to save face for himself and his master.

He said, “I’ve booked a private room here, so we can see the entire venue, especially the auction items. Also, as long as we’re willing, after the auction ends, the beautiful hostess will come to our private room.”

Hearing this, Mike almost laughed out loud. He suppressed his laughter and said, “I’ve long heard that the Bart Family is powerful. Seeing it today, it really lives up to its reputation.”

Bart sighed in his heart. He understood what Mike wanted to say next, so he hurriedly said, “No, no, no. Heaven No. 1 is reserved by someone else. We also spent a lot of effort to get this Heaven No. 2. Oh right, let’s hurry up. The auction is about to begin.”

Mike smiled and nodded. He was not prepared to continue, but the butler’s voice rang out again.

“This Heaven No. 2 is really big. In the entire Northern Region city, other than my City Lord, no one dares to book this private room.”

Mike was a little surprised. How did this guy become the butler? All these years, the Bart Family had been in his hands. It was already a good thing that they did not lose.

Bart could not hold it in anymore. He said to the butler, “Go and arrange a banquet. After the auction ends, brother Mike and I will drink and have a good time. Go quickly.”

Just like that, the butler left under Bart’s murderous gaze.
