Chapter 933 Damage His Reputation
Irvin was speechless.
He forced a smile, "Bro, are you kidding? Do you really think the legend is true? To be honest, I feel that someone made the story to fool those idiots. Don't damage my reputation." Felix snorted and said, "Your reputation?"
"What? You look down upon me?"
Felix didn't say anything, but his expression showed his meaning.
Irvin was provoked. When he was about to talk back, someone patted him on the shoulder.
"Mr. Kaye!"
He turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly.
The man was named Malcolm Dalton. He was a local real estate businessman in Lanceham. He had met Felix at a banquet before, so they knew each other.
Malcolm smiled and greeted, "Mr. Kaye and Mr. Bissel, nice to see you here."
Irvin nodded, "What's up?"
Malcolm handed over a document in his hand with a flattering smile on his face, "Mr. Kaye, I'm sorry that several of my subordinates who didn't know you refused your request when you wanted to buy the land you were interested in last time. I have already punished them severely. This is the land transfer agreement. Please sign it."
Irvin squinted slightly.
He smiled, "Mr. Dalton, what do you mean?"
Malcolm smiled with trepidation, "Mr. Kaye, I know you don't think highly of my small business, but this is my gift. Please don't mind..."
Irvin interrupted him before he could finish his words.
Irvin said seriously, "Mr. Dalton, I think you must have misunderstood me. I did intend to buy your land for the development of the amusement park, but after a second thought, I found that the position is not suitable, so I changed my mind. I appreciate your kindness. As for this land, you'd better take it back."
Malcolm was confused.
Irvin continued, "Besides, the Kaye family is running the business according to the law. We are not bandits. Even if I really want to buy your land, I will go through legal channels and formalities. You don't need to do this."
Irvin didn't want to disappoint Malcolm, so he said this in a gentle voice.
Malcolm immediately nodded and said, "I see. Thank you, Mr. Kaye. Thank you."
Irvin forced a smile and waved his hand.
After Malcolm left, Felix asked, "What happened?"
Irvin sighed.
"Oh, it's a small business. Recently, my father agreed to let my mother's brother work in the company. After he came to the company, he always takes advantage of his power to bully people and does some shady things. I was looking for a piece of land some days ago. I choose Malcolm's land at that time, but we didn't intend to purchase it. My uncle heard it somehow. He must have threatened Malcolm, so Malcolm comes to me in a panic to say sorry." Felix frowned.
"There will be trouble if you keep such a person in the company."
Speaking of this, Irvin also had a headache.
"Yes, you are right. But he is my mother's brother. You know my mother well. If I really drive my uncle away, she will cry and bother me. Then it will be the bigger trouble."
Felix didn't want to talk about this anymore.
After all, it was Irvin's family affair. As a friend, it was enough for him to remind Irvin with kindness.
If he talked more about this, he would become a busybody.
Thinking of this, he looked into the hall.
The guests were almost there. Felix looked at the time. It was eight o'clock in the evening. He said in a deep voice, "Let's start."
Irvin nodded and said, "I'll start the party now."
"Okay."
After Irvin left, Queeny came over.
Behind her was the Ford. Ford held an antique wooden box, in which there was the piece of the Celestial Book.
She asked, "Are you going to take it down now?"
Felix nodded.
Queeny didn't say anything more and followed him downstairs.
At eight o'clock, the treasure evaluation party began.
Many people had complained that Irvin liked to show off his wealth and they were quite disdainful of the treasure evaluation party, but when it really began, everyone's attention was attracted.
At this time, the host hadn't shown up on the stage yet. Everyone sat in their seats and whispered, guessing what kind of treasure would be shown today.
It was not until a light was lit up on the stage and a huge projector started working on the white curtain that the hall gradually quieted down.
There was only a beam of white light on the stage, and the rest of the lights were off, and the hall was silent.
The clattering sound of high heels came, and a female host in a formal dress walked onto the stage.
The white light followed her until she finally stopped at a place on the left side of the stage.
"Good evening, everyone."
With her announcement, the grand party officially began.
After a brief introduction, the host began to get to the point, introducing the treasure that would be shown tonight.
"I think many people present have heard of and are very interested in the treasure that will be shown today. That's the Celestial Book. It is the most popular treasure with the rich people in recent years."
As soon as she finished speaking, another white light shone on the right side of the stage. Everyone found that there was a glass showcase, in which a small white piece was displayed. It was just the Celestial Book. Many people had seen this piece at the auction.
They had no time to take photos at that time, which was really a pity. They had thought that they would never have the chance to see it again in their lives, but they didn't expect to see it here.
The crowd started to discuss.
The host continued, "As we all know, the reason why the Celestial Book is called a legendary treasure is that it is said to have the effect of resurrection and immortality. This treasure was bought by Mr. Felix Bissel half a year ago. After his careful study, he found that there are a total of twelve pieces, and we are displaying only one piece."
As soon as she finished her words, the people here were shocked and talked more loudly.
The host didn't say anything. She gave the audience some time to react, and then she continued to introduce it.
"Many people once doubted whether the rumor about the Celestial Book is true or not. Although we are not sure about it yet, after the careful investigation and checking many ancient books, we found that if we gather all the twelve pieces of the Celestial Book, something magical will definitely happen."
"There is no accurate answer to the question if it can bring people back to life or make people have a long life, but after the scientific research, we found that this piece is made of a kind of material that we have never seen on earth."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
