stared at Lucas sullenly before turning around to leave as well.

After they left, everyone in the hall looked at Lucas in a different light.

He owned a rare and precious Black Diamond Card, managed to earn the respectful treatment of the person the Kingstons had specifically appointed to take charge of the auction, and even kicked two core members of top families out of the auction mercilessly. What exactly is the origin of this young man? they wondered.

But regardless of what they thought, no one in the hall dared to say anything disrespectful to Lucas now after what happened to Tristan.

“Mr.
Gray, are you satisfied with the way we handled things?” Russell asked with a smile.

Lucas nodded and smiled at him too.
“Thank you, Mr.
Duncan.”

Russell took a look at the time and scanned his surroundings in the hall.
“The auction tonight is about to begin soon.
Dear guests, please return to your seats and get ready.
I hope you will all have a great time and successfully acquire the items you take a liking to.”

Then he turned around to leave and returned backstage.

Just as Lucas sat down, Jordan appeared silently beside him and reported very softly, “Lucas, I found Miss Keller, but she’s locked up with many women, and there’s no way to rescue her without alerting others.
But I have confirmed that Miss Keller was abducted by the Wallaces and taken here by force.
They’re going to auction her off as a finale item!”

Lucas’s eyes were instantly brimming with murderous intent.

He had actually mentally prepared himself for the possibility that Grace might be sold as an auction item.
But he was absolutely disgusted by the fact that the Wallaces were trafficking living humans and selling them like they were objects.

“Lucas, do you want me to…” Jordan slid his hand across his neck.
Having worked for Lucas for so many years, he was naturally familiar with Lucas’s preferences and habits.
Besides, the Wallaces’ unscrupulous practice was not only challenging the bottom line of morality, but it was also against the law.

“No, go back.
I’ll take care of the rest,” Lucas said indifferently with a wave of his hand.

Jordan sighed regretfully.
“Okay then.
I’ll wait for you outside Club Splendor.”

Then he soon vanished from the auction hall.

Sitting near Lucas, Lena had been watching them quietly.
After Jordan left, she finally turned her head over slightly and seemed to be deep in thought.

Although it was the first time Lena saw Jordan, she could tell from Jordan’s agile movements and light footsteps, as well as his subconscious straightening of his back and the intimidating aura that he was trying to restrain but was still hair-raising, that he was definitely not an ordinary person either.
She knew so because she had learned psychology and micro-expressions when pursuing her education abroad.

Besides, it was obvious that he was subordinate to Lucas.

Lena felt that Lucas was like a treasure.
The closer she got to him, and the more she learned about him, the more she could feel how impressive and terrifying he was.
But at the same time, he was just as attractive! Lucas Gray, what kind of a person are you exactly?

At this moment, Elijah was right outside Club Splendor.
Feeling extremely frustrated, he kicked a trash can at the entrance with so much force that it flew away.

“Callum, are you sure you can tolerate this and let that punk humiliate us like that?” Elijah barked furiously and got increasingly enraged as he thought about it.

Callum sneered sinisterly, a stark contrast from the image of a noble gentleman he portrayed in the auction hall just now.
“Hah, how can I let him off so easily? No matter who he is, I won’t let him off for embarrassing us and humiliating our family in public!”
