Chapitre 137: You insisted on getting a slap in the face

The two guards completely failed to notice Alexander's presence inside the venue. 

Alexander scanned the room and quickly located Quentin. 

At that moment, Quentin was surrounded by a group of people, each vying for his attention, hoping to make a favorable impression.

Today's auction wasn't particularly high-end, attended mostly by businessmen. Quentin's presence at such an event was akin to an emperor traveling incognito among his subjects. 

Normally, these wealthy merchants would never have the opportunity to interact so closely with someone of Quentin's stature.

Amidst the crowd, Quentin, with a polite smile, greeted each person. However, his eyes betrayed a hint of impatience. 

He was there because Black Pearl City had struck a deal with the Dimensional Store, requiring his attendance.
