Chapter 1026

That day, the crowd learned to be humble because there would always be someone out there who was more powerful and talented than they were.

Danny gestured. “Mr. Luna, Mr. Sullivan, please follow me to the backstage to sign the agreements.”

Great!

Theodore and Lennon got up to go to the backstage.

To their surprise, Zeke got up as well.

Theodore had his guard up. “Yo, Williams, why are you going to the backstage? Are you trying to steal the plant? You lost. You should just accept your defeat and stop thinking about getting the Rhodiola Rosea!”

Theodore knew how strong Zeke was, and it was likely that the latter would win if a fight broke out.

Zeke grinned. “Sorry, but I am not interested in the plant. I am simply going to the backstage to get my stuffs.”

“Your stuff? What stuff?” asked Theodore curiously.

Lennon scoffed, “Why do you care? Honestly though, I kinda wish that you would fight and try to steal the plant, Williams. This is an auction hosted by the Tulle. If you steal their products, the organization will go after you. They’d skin you alive or maybe whip you. Am I right, Mr. Wheeler?”

Danny stared meaningfully at Zeke, but the former said nothing. He simply turned around and walked to the backstage.

The three men followed along.

Theodore and Danny signed the agreement soon after, and Danny handed the plant to him.

Theodore, however, used his assets as guarantees for loans and handed those documents to Danny.

Naturally, he couldn’t get six hundred billion in cash, so he could only use his assets to pay for the plant.

When Theodore held the plant in his hands, he felt assured. I can live.

Theodore then bowed to Danny and said, “Thank you, Mr. Wheeler. I will treat you to dinner someday.”

Danny replied, “That’s too kind.”

Theodore and Lennon turned around to leave, but Danny did something that surprised everyone and got everyone’s jaw to drop.

He took the documents and assets that Theodore had just given away and handed it to Zeke.

“This is for you, Mr. Williams.”

Zeke accepted it with a smile. “Thank you.”

“I’ve calculated the commission. It is about ten billion. Will you be paying via cash or card, Mr.

Williams?”

“Just deduct it directly from the sales of the plant.”

Theodore and Lennon were instantly petrified.

Theodore’s voice was trembling when he asked, “Mr. Wheeler, what are you doing? Why are you handing the money from the auction off to Zeke Williams?”

The three men followed along.

Theodore and Danny signed the agreement soon after, and Danny handed the plant to him.

He had guessed the reason, but he couldn’t believe it. Or rather, he didn’t want to believe it.

Danny answered, “Oh, it’s simple. Mr. Williams is the one who asked us to auction off the plant.

Naturally, we have to give him the earnings from the sales.”

What the f***?

Both Theodore and Lennon almost spat blood from high blood pressure after confirming their suspicion.

That plant belonged to Zeke Williams?

That ass**** came to the auction house just to drive the price up!

That was six hundred billion!

Williams conned me out of six hundred billion!

Theodore gritted his teeth. “Zeke Williams, you c***! You tricked me. Your behavior has violated the unspoken rules of the street. Aren’t you worried the others would discriminate against and hate you?”

“Trick? Now, that is just plain rude. I know you are dying and need the plant to save your life. That is why I sacrificed mine and sell it to save your life. If it hadn’t been for me, you would be dead by now.

Yet, you said that I tricked you. Dang, you are mean.”
