Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Auction Banquet
A car was parked outside a magnificently decorated building. Its cheapness was incompatible with the building.
"Are you sure it was a wise choice to take Laura in?"
Caliban turned back from the driver's seat and glanced at Laura and Logan in the back seat, "She might make things worse, I mean, she's still young and inexperienced."
"Should I take you with me?"
Logan rolled his eyes at him. A white man with albinism would become the center of attention on any occasion. Compared with him, although Laura was smaller, at least she would not receive as much attention.
"Laura won't cause trouble. If it weren't for the invitation, I would rather go alone."
Logan took out a black invitation from his pocket. There was a silver cross imprinted on the cover. The workmanship looked very exquisite.
"Cross Auction Invitation" This is the invitation letter taken out from Notland's office yesterday. In addition to the invitation letter, the above requirements for participation also specifically indicate that two people must be traveling together, and the capital verification must be more than 200,000 US dollars. .
For this reason, he had to dress up Laura carefully and let her participate in the auction with him.
As for the minimum capital verification of 200,000 yuan, it was relatively easy to solve. The money saved from the Lawrence family, plus the remuneration delivered by Gabriela before leaving, barely made up 200,000 yuan.
"Maybe Victor doesn't want us to save him. Taking huge risks will bring disaster to all of us. This will make him live with guilt forever."
Caliban looked at Logan, very opposed to this risky move.
"Shut up!"
Logan interrupted Caliban coldly, his voice unmistakable, "It's worth it for him."
"Hey, don't get excited."
Caliban spoke quickly, pressing his hands down to signal Logan not to be angry, "I was just talking casually, and Victor may not be inside. He is a saber-toothed tiger. Who can catch him?"
Logan ignored Caliban and turned to adjust Laura's collar. The girl was wearing a brand new black suit and pink sunglasses. Her pink and jade-like appearance looked very pleasant.
In order to participate in the auction, Logan bought new suits for himself and Laura. Although they were not as expensive as the exclusive custom-made suits, they were much better than the cheap suits they often wore before.
He whispered to Laura: "Don't be nervous later, you just need to follow me."
Laura nodded obediently, with a hint of expectation between her brows.
"Let's go."
Logan pushed the door open and got out of the car, and the two of them walked towards the magnificent building together.
Caliban in the car looked helplessly at the large and small figures, looking at the hundreds of meters high building, feeling a little worried in his heart.
If there was a conflict like this, it would be difficult to escape.
At the same time, Logan took Laura into the building and took the elevator to the cross auction site on the fourteenth floor.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Logan couldn't help but be amazed by the high-end banquet hall.
The entire banquet hall was decorated in a very high-end manner. The soft colored lights shone in the banquet hall. They were not dazzling, but filled the entire banquet hall with a relaxing visual sense.
A skilled pianist is playing soft notes on the stage. The soft music seems to cleanse the soul.
The buffet-style pastries and delicacies on the table are exquisite products that ordinary people dare not expect just in terms of presentation.
There were many people standing in the hall, holding wine glasses and chatting in low voices. They were elegant and polite, the men were full of gentlemen, and the women seemed to be palace princesses. I am afraid that except for Logan and Laura, the rest of them were present. They are all wealthy businessmen who can directly affect the entire Nevada economy.
"Sir, what would you like to drink?"
The waiter in a tuxedo walked slowly over, nodded to Logan very politely, and asked softly.
"Brandy and juice."
Logan glanced at Laura beside him.
The waiter was not surprised at all because of Laura's age. After nodding respectfully, he went to serve two drinks to the two of them.
Logan held the wine glass and took Laura to find a seat to sit down. Obviously, the banquet was just a formality, the highlight was the auction, so naturally no one cared about the exquisite food on the table.
However, Laura Kinney couldn't take care of so much. She had very little food to eat in the laboratory. After escaping, she lived a simple and simple life with Gabriela. How could she have seen so many delicious foods? ?
She tasted all the candies and snacks on the table without any politeness, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised in a satisfied arc.
"Mr. Notland, why are you here so late?"
A voice caught Logan's attention. He looked toward the door and saw Notland's figure walking out of the elevator.
He smiled and said to the old friend who was asking next to him: "Something has delayed me."
At the same time, he glanced at the banquet hall, but fortunately he did not recognize Logan.
This is normal, after all, Logan had no direct contact with him at the beginning, he just accompanied Victor at the door of his office.
Logan sat on the chair, paying close attention to Notlande's movements.
"What good things are you going to buy this time?"
Notland smiled and took a glass of red wine from the waiter, talking to his old friend in a low voice.
"It's hard to say. There are too many items in this auction, and they are all very attractive." The old friend replied softly.
After a pause, he looked at Notland with a smile, "What about you? I guess you must have something good that you have your eye on."
"No no no."
Notland squinted his eyes, smiled and shook his head at his old friend, "I've prepared a big surprise this time."
"Oh?" My old friend was a little curious.
Notland pretended to be mysterious, and said softly while drinking red wine: "You will know later, it will definitely open your eyes."
The old friend's curiosity was completely aroused, "You made me look forward to this auction even more."
Logan frowned slightly as he listened to the conversation between the two.
At this time, the waiter came out. At the same time, the sound of the piano stopped and the lanterns were turned off. The waiter held up the microphone and announced that the auction was about to begin, and asked those participating in the auction to go to the hall to get their numbers. They needed to be seated according to their numbers.
Everyone in the field started to take action and walked towards the hall.
Logan led No. 17 and No. 18, which were relatively close to the front, and took Laura to choose a seat to sit down.
As soon as he took his seat, Notland also held up the number plate No. 16 and sat to the left of Logan.
Logan just glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and ignored it.
However, Notland greeted him enthusiastically, "Lance Notland, what is your surname?"
"James Logan."
Logan had no choice but to force a smile in response.
"James..." Notland murmured a few words in a low voice, and asked curiously again: "What kind of business does Mr. James do?"
Even if he doesn't know all the wealthy businessmen in Las Vegas, he has heard their names more or less, but Logan's name is really a bit unfamiliar.
"The logistics industry rarely shows up."
Logan made random remarks and tried not to look at him directly.
"Logistics business? Have you ever heard that there is no family named Logan in the logistics industry?"
Notlande stared at Logan's face and suddenly said: "But you look familiar. Have we met before?"
