My Waste Husband -

Chapter 1212
When the voice came out, everyone was shocked. Was he trying to become the enemy of the Lin Family by purposefully outbidding Henry?
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice.
The person who outbid Henry was sitting in the last row.
Henry smiled. The reason he made the first move was to check if someone was waiting for this particular artifact. Lo and behold, someone immediately called after Henry.
Alvin League held the auction was meant for transferring this artifact in plain sight. It looked like the organization was under pressure, and the clock was ticking. Otherwise, they wouldn't do it in Yinzhou, for they knew Henry was staying here.
"Three million yuan," Henry called calmly.
"Four million," the voice rang out again.
Everyone stared at the person sitting in the back as if he was a moron. He was in his early twenties, and his outfit didn't look expensive.
Henry leaned back in his seat and stretched out a finger, "Ten million."
Henry was on bad terms with Alvin League already, so he would definitely stop Alvin League from whatever they were trying to do. As for money, it wasn't Henry's concern. Moreover, all the money earned from the auction would go to charity anyway.
The face of the person sitting in the back looked bad. He knew the King of Hell was in Yinzhou, and he had seen the King of Hell in the hall. But he didn't imagine that the King of Hell had figured out their scheme.
For hiding the importance of the stone disk, Alvin League made the special arrangement of lining it up in the middle of all the auction items. But Henry still spotted the stone disk was the one item Alvin League tried to transfer out.
What Alvin League didn't know was that Henry brought with him a human scent detector.
"Twenty million!" The young man called again, gritting his teeth. It wasn't money he worried about. Alvin League would pay for the expense. He was worried that he had been exposed.
"Fifty million," Henry outbid him again.
"Sixty!" The young man called.
Henry laughed, "Eighty."
The man clenched his fists. He opened his mouth to call again.
At this moment, a person sitting next to him kicked his chair. The young man shut his mouth without making a sound.
"Give it up," the person said to the young man, "Henry already knows that the disk is what we are after. He won't stop outbidding us. Let's go. To get it, we don't have to use money."
There was a shameful expression on the young man's face. He glared at Henry and left.
Seeing the young man leaving, people shook their heads in confusion. They couldn't figure out why this person had to offend the Lins Group.
Henry's expression did not change. He got up to take the stone disk. Henry didn't want the stone disk to be taken out of his eyesight. He was afraid that someone backstage would switch the disk with a fake one.
As soon as Henry got up, someone called.
"One hundred million!"
The voice came from the first row. It caused an uproar.
Nadeen was infuriated seeing Henry's calmed demeanor. Henry used the same expression dealing with her at the meeting earlier.
Henry was on his way to the platform. He was stunned when he heard another person was trying to outbid him. Then Henry smiled, "Young lady, not everything in the world is up for your grab. I'll give you a chance to take back your bidding."
Henry then waved to the hostess.
"One hundred and twenty."
Henry called again, waiting for Nadeen to give up.
However, Nadeen wasn't willing to back down for twenty million yuan.
She gritted her teeth and said, "A hundred and thirty!"
"Young people nowadays are so impulsive. How many packs of fancy cigarettes can you buy with a hundred and thirty million yuan?" A man walked toward Henry. He was wearing a pair of hot pink beach shorts and a pair of flip-flops. He held a cigarette in his mouth, but the cigarette wasn't lit. The man smacked his lips, showing a pitiful expression on his face.
"You are wearing these on such a formal occasion?" Henry glanced at him.
Gardiner laughed and said, "Suit and tie are not very practical for fighting. These outfits are cheap. I won't feel sorry if they are ripped."
Gardiner used a joke to signal Henry. Alvin League wouldn't let Henry walk away with the stone disk, and a fight was unavoidable.
"Come on, you're not one of them," Gardiner winked at Henry, "There will be people teaching those impulsive young people a lesson. We have other things to deal with."
"Fine," Henry didn't refute. He took a look at Nadeen. As a stranger, Henry had done his best to help her out of this trouble. But Nadeen didn't take it. Henry was not obliged to help her a second time.
Henry asked Ranjeet to stay put and left the hall.
Knowing Henry had given up, Nadeen smiled gloatingly.
Henry followed Gardiner out of the hall.
"What's wrong? Alvin League's activities are increasing?" Henry asked.
"That's right," Gardiner smiled bitterly. He lit up the cigarette and sucked it hard. A satisfied look showed up on Gardiner's face. He then said, "I saw the Loulan guy was sitting with you. So you've known that the Ancestral Land of Loulan was sealed?"
Henry nodded and said, "I know, but I learned it from some other source."
Gardiner glanced at Henry and said, "Because of who you are, someone will come to visit you. It doesn't matter who told you. What matters is that the stone disk is one of the Mediums. Alvin League will try its best to obtain it."
"I'm curious," Henry looked at Gardiner in doubt, "Theoretically, Section Nine should already find out that Enkidu Inc. is backed by Alvin League. But why you guys haven't done anything about it?"
Gardiner smiled in embarrassment, "Actually, I just found out about their relationship very recently."
Henry was shocked, "You mean..."
Gardiner nodded, "Alvin League has been planning for a very long time. Not only Section Nine, the Clans, Noble Berserkers, and Recluse Association all have their moles."
"What kind of organization is Alvin League?" Henry was puzzled, "They are only working to achieve their God Creation Plan?"
"Not all," Gardiner shook his head, "I don't really know exactly what kind of organization it is. But I'm sure about one thing. Alvin League is much more powerful than we originally thought, and they existed much longer too..."
