Chapter 1480
The First Heir
Kelsey was right. If the Hall of the Underworld really wanted to seek revenge, the first to bear the brunt
would certainly be the ones present here tonight.
Since Philip could even mobilize a battle squad, he would not be afraid of them.
However, they were not the same. They were just some affluent families from a city or region.
They might be respected in the country, but on a global scale, especially in the West, the gap was
really too big.
Silence.
The atmosphere was a little somber now.
Wilbur Ellis quickly stepped out at this time and said with a smile, âWell then, the next program is our
main event. Everyone is gathered here tonight for that item, right? Shall we start now?â
It seemed like a question but Wilbur had already snapped his fingers.
Instantly, all the main lights in the side hall were turned off, leaving a dim lamp in the middle of the jade
round table.
Everyone was staring intently at the center of the round table.
They had almost forgotten about the important event tonight.
Everyone waited with bated breath.
Kelsey and Sheryl also stared nervously at the beam of light in the center of the round table.
Philip just frowned slightly. What on earth could have brought Kelsey and Sheryl here?
Even people from the Hall of the Underworld had turned up.
Immediately after, the small round platform in the center of the round table slowly sank as everyone
watched. An ancient wooden box rose from the bottom. The box was carved with dragons and
phoenixes, looking very exquisite. It had a light fragrance to it. There was also a design of golden
floating clouds on the four corners of the wooden box, which was likely made of pure gold.
Everyone glanced at each other and seemed very impatient.
âMr. Ellis, whatâs inside it? Youâve never revealed it before. Can you tell us about it now?â someone
asked.
Wilbur stood on one side with a mysterious smile, saying, âA key.â
A key?
Others did not quite understand it, but Kelsey and Sheryl looked suffocated. Their eyes revealed
extraordinary enthusiasm and excitement!
âA key? What key? Is it a hidden treasure?â Sigmund asked skeptically.
âMr. Ellis, stop joking with us. We came all the way here expecting a rare treasure, but youâre telling us
that itâs a key? What can it do? Is it really a treasure?â
Ingram Jordan also said.
Wilbur smiled and said, âNot really. This key is only known to people who know its worth. I can only tell
you that this item is priceless. Getting your hands on this is tantamount to getting a treasure trove.
Even if youâre penniless, you can immediately become a billionaire. If you have tens of billions of
assets, you can multiply it by several times in the next few years.â
Hearing Wilburâs words, even those who were not initially interested perked up.
âWhat are we waiting for, then? Open it and let us have a look,â someone urged.
However, Kelsey said nonchalantly at this time, âIâll take this item. 100 million dollars!â
Hiss!
Everyone turned to Kelsey. This was too exaggerated. Was he bidding 100 million dollars for this item
without even looking at it?
However, what made everyone more alarmed was still to come.
Sheryl parted her red lips and said delicately, âIâll offer 200 million dollars, plus a Larson familyâs
enterprise in Uppercreek. In total, itâs worth 500 million dollars!â
