Miss Garsia, the Cat Is Out of the Bag

Javen gently touched the wound on his arm and smiled casually. “I don’t know.”

“Well, do you need any more herbs?” Javen didn’t want to mention what had happened before, so he changed the topic.

Cassie touched her chin and thought for a moment. “I’m still missing a 500-year-old Gingko, but it can only be sold at the auction. I have to wait until the evening.”

Javen glanced around and said, “Are you hungry? Go and eat if you are hungry.”

The Underworld was similar to a small-scale commercial street. There were all kinds of food, drink, and entertainment inside, but the price was shockingly high.

Cassie looked at the menu in front of her. A serving of spaghetti was sold for a hundred dollars. She couldn’t help but be shocked.

It’s straightforward for her to buy the herb which cost one million dollars. But it’s too expensive for her to buy a spaghetti which only cost one hundred dollars.

Cassie was forced to order a serving of spaghetti, but when she handed in the menu, she saw a familiar figure next door.

Is that… Juwan Smith?

Wasn’t Juwan Smith supposed to be in San Francisco? Why was he here?

But at this time, she couldn’t let him find out that she and Cassie were here. Cassie suddenly came up with an idea. She took out two sunglasses from her bag, put one on herself, and put the other in Javen’s hands.

“Juwan Smith’s nearby. Hurry and bring it along.”

Javen understood tacitly, obediently putting on the sunglasses and lowering his voice to say, “Why is Juwan Smith nearby?”

In fact, he had also seen Juwan Smith just now, but he was not sure. It seemed that he was right.

“What else can he do? He is definitely here for the auction. Do you think whether the aim of Juwan Smith is also here for Gingko?”

Thinking of it, Cassie became a little nervous.

“Take it easy. the Smith Group doesn’t lack money.”

“It’s not a matter of money. It’s just that if he was tampered with it, it would be a little difficult for us to get Gingko this time.”

Cassie had a brainwave and suddenly came up with a brilliant idea.

Cassie looked around. As expected, she saw Juwan Smith sitting not far away. He was looking down at something, but the faint smile on his face made her couldn’t help but worry.

Cassie was not interested in the items that were being auctioned earlier, but Javen was. He even bought a few accessories for Cassie.

Luckily, Javen caught a cold today so his voice sounded different than usual, so Juwan Smith didn’t recognize it.

Soon, it was time for the day’s finale-Gingko.

Cassie was delighted when she looked at the maidenhair leaf in the glass thermos.

“It’s 500 years old Gingko. The starting price is 10 million dollars!”

Sure enough, Juwan Smith didn’t raise his bidding paddle to wait for this moment. He decisively raised his bidding paddle, directly raising the starting price by ten million dollars.

Later, as long as Juwan Smith bid, Javen would immediately follow, and each time, it would be a dollar higher than him.

That’s right, one dollar, which sounded like against him.

Juwan Smith seemed to have noticed the strange competitor and turned his head to look around.

Cassie quickly lowered her head. Because Javen was wearing sunglasses and the environment was very dark, Juwan Smith could recognize no one.

Juwan Smith gave him a meaningful look before withdrawing his gaze.

The two continued to bid. In the beginning, some people followed to bid. Soon as the price rose, many people gave up bidding one after another, and in the end, only Javen and Juwan Smith continued.

Juwan Smith seemed to have lost his patience, so he yelled, “I bid a hundred million dollars.”

A hundred million dollars was completely beyond the value of Gingko. Cassie patted Javen beside her and said, “Okay, give up the bidding.”

Javen ignored her words and raised his placard. “200 million dollars.”

“Well, is there anyone bidding higher than 200 million dollars?”

Juwan Smith thought about it and gave up the bidding.

“200 million dollars once, 200 million dollars twice, 200 million dollars final! Deal! Congratulations, sir, for getting the Gingko.”

Cassie gave him a stare. “What a spendthrift. If I had known it was so expensive, I would have gone to ask Mr. Old James for the money.”

When Javen heard her say that, he rubbed her head and said, “Well, I have money.”

Cassie didn’t know what to say. She rolled her eyes and said with a hint of unwillingness, “Does I have no money? But you have to know when should cost, when not. Is that clear?”

“What a spendthrift. I wonder who would be so unlucky to marry him.”

Oh, it was her misfortune.

As Cassie was annoyed, Javen suddenly looked at her face and said seriously, “I’ll give you all my money. Take care of it for me.”

“Deal.”

However, seeing that he had helped her get the Gingko, Cassie was in a good mood.

They had just reached the door when they were suddenly blocked by a group of people.

“Javen Smith, I can’t believe you’re here? Didn’t you say before that everything in the Underworld is dirty? You’d rather die than come here?”

Juwan Smith, who was standing in front, felt especially ironic when he saw that Javen Smith was still looked down on them.

“He is still so arrogant. Let me see how he keeps it up later!”

“Then why did you block my way?”

Javen wasn’t look very well, but the chill around him was still a bit frightening.

The people around him only dared to surround him and did not dare to do anything to him.

“Although it’s not good to surround you like this, but…” Juwan Smith smiled, suddenly, his expression changed. “Hand Gingko over.”

Cassie hugged Gingko tightly in her arms and said calmly, “What’s wrong? You didn’t want to bid at the auction just now, but now you’re robbing me?”

Juwan Smith looked at Cassie and smiled, “Cassie, if you are willing to stay with me, I will regard it as a gift to you.”

“Is it a gift? Juwan Smith, it was bought by Javen. If you put it like that, isn’t it a bit too shameless?”

It’s the first time for Cassie to know that a person could be so shameless.

Juwan Smith acted as if he hadn’t heard anything and said calmly, “If you don’t want to be with me, don’t blame me for robbing it.”

The people around were eager to give it a try, as if they were going to rush up and grab it in the next second.

“Wait!”

A deep voice suddenly came from behind. Juwan Smith suddenly had a bad feeling and waved his hand to stop the people around him.

Juwan Smith turned around. When he saw the group of people walking over, he narrowed his eyes.

“May I know who you are?”

The man sneered and said, “How come I didn’t know that there was actually someone dominating the market I, Ryan Callow, run?”

The sarcasm in the words was obvious.

Juwan Smith also knew that he had encountered a tough opponent. He kept his cool. “You must be joking. You’re still in charge of this market. I’m just collecting debts.”

Cassie and Javen were so lucky to meet the behind-the-scenes boss of the Underworld before making a move.

“Settle the debt? Come, tell me, what sort of debt did you actually put on my adopted daughter?”

Adopted daughter?!
