Chapter 75 - The Auction Begins (1/2)
Inside a new Auction House, many individuals wearing luxrious clothing were forming their own circles and as they talked about their businesses.
”I heard that the Marchand Family is the owner of this new Auction House.”
”What, the Marchand Family? They still prefer to hide behind the shadows after all these years eh?”
”Yeah, but don't underestimate them. This family has been living in France for several centuries. They might not want the spotlight, but that does not mean that they won't punish anyone who offends them. They also have many strong fighters among their ranks, I even heard that they had their own private army.”
”That scary? I barely even have about two dozen bodyguards, and their family have a private army? How strong!”
”Yes, they also had deals with Russia and Germany regarding gun trade. With their current power, they can even turn the whole France upside down.”
”Look, isn't that Lhun Marchand, the eldest son of Marchand Family's patriarch?”
”Yeah it's him. He definitely carries the bloodline of the Marchand Family. With his own efforts, he already built several companies and is now earning billions of dollars every year.”
”Impressive! As expected of the eldest son of the Marchand Family. He should be the next patriarch right?”
”Of course....”

More and more guests arrived inside the Auction house, but the five VIP rooms were still unoccupied.
”The Decaux Family has arrived!” A loud announcement surprised the guests greatly, making them turn their heads towards the entrance.
They saw a middle aged man with graying hair, but his charm was not any less than the noble scions of the rich families. Behind him were several individuals wearing black tuxedo, and all of them emitted an overpowering aura that made the martial arts practitioners among the guests to be shocked.
”Hello Mr. Decaux, please follow me towards the VIP room.” Lhun Marchand spoke with a polite smile on his face.
”Oh, isn't this Lhun? You are a such a capable man now. How fast time flies by.” Mr. Decaux smiled at Lhun Marchand and sighed lightly.
”And the dashing youth from long ago is now a charming middle aged man. I have been one of your admirers Mr. Decaux.” Lhun Marchand smiled brighty, causing Mr. Decaux' expression to soften a bit.
”You have inherited your father's glib tongue, truly the eldest son of the Marchand Family.” Mr. Decaux laughed lightly as Lhun Marchand was leading them towards one of the VIP rooms.
