Chapter 1060: Scion of the Steeles

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

What Lucas said immediately shocked the crowd in the room!

Like a megarich tyc.o.o.n, he raised his bid by a hundred and fifty million dollars at once!

Even though many people present were from wealthy families worth billions of dollars, they still found it unbearable.

It was 150 million dollars, not 150 thousand. They couldnt throw away so much casually!

Since Lucas had said his next bid, Alexander would have to bid more than 1.1 billion dollars to compete with him!

!!

Spending over 1.1 billion dollars on a plot of land with a starting price of only 400 million dollars was already crazy enough!

Alexander looked extremely gloomy. He originally expected that he would be able to buy the land for 850 million dollars. If he couldnt bid higher, the Steeles would lose out on the land!

He would have left the auction without any harvest, so his family would definitely be upset with him!

Gritting his teeth with all his might, Alexander yelled, 1.1 billion dollars!

1.1 billion dollars!

This price shocked countless people.

It showed that the Steeles were indeed eager to acquire this plot of land.

1.2 billion dollars!

But the next second, Lucas bid again without hesitation and increased it by 100 million dollars!

Oh my G.o.d! Where is that young man from?! He increases his bid by 100 million dollars. This is terrifying!

He doesnt treat money like money at all. Even the scions of the eight top families of DC cant compare to his spendthrift aura!

Do you think he has a grudge against the Steeles? Alexander is partic.i.p.ating in the auction on behalf of the Steeles, and the rest of us withdrew. But this young man not only dares to compete with the Steeles, he even has such an aggressive att.i.tude. Hes undermining Alexander without saving him any pride at all!

The people in the auction hall were discussing with each other.

At this moment, Alexander looked extremely sullen, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

As the scion of the Steeles, Alexander had specially come to partic.i.p.ate in the land auction on behalf of the family.

In his opinion, he had already made a valuation of the expected value of the land in the eastern suburbs. If he could buy this land at a price of 850 million dollars, it was just right. In the future plans and operations of the Steels, this piece of land would have at least a few hundred million dollars in profit.

But Lucas had raised the price of the plot of land to an outrageous 1.2 billion dollars!

If he bought the plot of land at this price, there would be almost no profit at all. What would the Steeles want it for?

The more terrifying thing was that Alexander didnt know what Lucass bottom line for his bid was.

It would be completely pointless to continue competing with him for this land.

Alexander sulked without saying anything else.

Lucas looked at the auctioneer, who was dumbfounded on the stage, and said, If no one bids again, this plot of land is mine, right?

The beautiful auctioneer returned to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream and quickly said, This gentleman over here has bid 1.2 billion dollars for Land No. 23! Is there any higher bid than this?

It was naturally silent at the venue.

In that case, 1.2 billion, going once!

1.2 billion, going twice!

1.2 billion, going thrice!

Sold!

The auctioneers face turned red with excitement as she clutched her chest and said, Lets congratulate this gentleman for successfully buying the finale plot of land of todays auction for a price of 1.2 billion dollars! Congratulations!

This marks the end of todays auction. Thank you all for your partic.i.p.ation!

Everyone applauded.

But many people stared at Lucas with strange gazes while applauding superficially.

But Lucas didnt care. Since he already got what he wanted and the auction was over, Flynn would naturally handle the rest of the procedures.

Lucas and Cheyenne got up to leave. At this moment, Alexander walked over and stretched his hand out gracefully. h.e.l.lo! Im Alexander Steele. Its a pleasure to meet you!

Alexander had been beaten by Lucas and Cheyenne twice, but he didnt show a single trace of anger at all. Instead, he was very amicable, which made it hard for Lucas to feel ill feelings for him.

Since Alexander had taken the initiative to greet them, Lucas didnt reject and politely shook his hand.

Lucas Gray. Nice to meet you.

But after they shook hands, Lucas raised his brows in surprise.

Reason being, Alexander suddenly gripped Lucass arm tightly, seemingly wanting to make him feel pain.

An ordinary person would have cried out in pain and behaved rudely in this situation.

But Lucas obviously wasnt an ordinary person.

Alexanders grip strength was peanuts to Lucas!

A strange smile appeared on Lucass lips, and there were no changes in his expression at all. But there was a sudden force on his hand.

Alexander had a martial arts background. And as the scion of the Steeles, he had been taught by several famous martial arts masters since he was a child. Moreover, he had a flair for martial arts, so he was practically the best among the younger generation.

Although he still seemed calm and composed, he was naturally upset that both plots of land he wanted had been s.n.a.t.c.hed from him.

So when he shook hands with Lucas, he suddenly tightened his grip, wanting to teach him a small lesson.

But Alexander never expected that an incredibly powerful force would suddenly spread from Lucass fingers, almost crus.h.i.+ng his!

Alexanders expression changed greatly as his face turned pale and a sense of horror surged in his heart involuntarily. He almost couldnt stop himself from crying out in pain.

He didnt expect this harmless-looking young man in front of him to have so much hidden strength!

His strength was simply insignificant compared to Lucass. They were worlds apart!

Alexander tried his best to bear with the pain and said with a pale face, Mr. Gray, youre really too enthusiastic!

He looked at their hands, his face somewhat distorted because of the pain that he was enduring.

Is that so? I seem to be lacking compared to you, Mr. Steele, Lucas said ambiguously before letting go.

Alexander immediately heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had been spared from death. He withdrew his hand that had been squeezed to the point of turning red.

At the side, Cheyenne didnt notice the secret confrontation between the two of them. She merely felt that something was strange with the way they were talking.

After Alexander withdrew his hand, he was still smiling as he extended an invitation to Lucas. Mr. Gray, I would like to invite you for a meal so we can get to know each other better. What do you think, Mr. Gray?
