Chapter 1469: Chapter 1539: This Is a Warning
Seeing people come in, her eyes burst with intense light, then quickly turned dim.
"Lady Xintong, are you okay?" The bodyguard checked Joseph’s breath, confirmed he was dead, and then inquired about Feng Xintong.
"He... he... broke into my room in the middle of the night, and I... in a panic..." Feng Xintong stammered, clearly terrified.
"Lady Xintong, we’re sorry. We didn’t protect you well."
"No... it’s not your fault... I..." Feng Xintong choked up and couldn’t continue, burying her head in her knees and sobbing hysterically, heartbroken.
Everyone looked at Feng Xintong with sympathy.
The news reached Mr. Feng, who was discussing the auction details with Housekeeper Xing, and he showed a barely noticeable cold smile.
"Very good! The actions are getting bigger. Zhenzhen, despite her shortcomings, has suppressed many people’s ambitions over the years."
Housekeeper Xing’s hand trembled slightly, and instead of answering, he changed the topic, "Sir, all the people I sent to secretly protect Sheng Ning have disappeared."
"Disappeared?" Mr. Feng’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, "This must mean a more powerful figure has appeared, which is why your people were erased."
"Then I..."
"No need, don’t send more people. This is a warning; if they can erase them once, they can do it again." The old man relaxed against the chair, frowning in deep thought.
"Who could it be? It’s definitely not the original force, so it must be someone who has just entered the country."
"Could it be the Duke of Westminster?" Housekeeper Xing analyzed, "In terms of power, he could easily do it, but logically it doesn’t make sense."
"It’s not him; the Westminster Family, as a former pillar of The Sun Never Sets Empire, doesn’t operate in this style." Mr. Feng removed the reading glasses from his face and set them on the table, "Have someone investigate, especially watch for any visitors from the mainland. I suspect that a distinguished guest of our family has arrived."
This style is more like the Su Family’s; it’s been fifty years, and I hope the Su Family’s growth lives up to the sacrifices my sister made back then.
"Yes!"
"Remember my instructions for tomorrow’s auction."
"Rest assured, sir, I’ll handle it well."
"Then go! Find out and invite the distinguished guest to the estate."
"Yes!" Housekeeper Xing retreated from the study.
The next day
The global art auction was held in the Metropolitan Hotel in the Manhattan District. Before 7 PM, the entrance of the Metropolitan Hotel was already filled with luxury cars, and people from around the world and different social classes appeared one after another.
The auctions held by the Feng Family have always adhered to old traditions, not just inviting a single type of elite. Besides these people, there are many others engaged in special industries.
For example, treasure hunters and explorers. Often, these people become one of the largest suppliers of art pieces, and the circulation of items relies on rules which the Feng Family masters.
The Metropolitan Hotel, under the Feng Family’s ownership, hosts the auction ceremony on the convenient second and third floors. Through special design, every seat has significance. Guests are seated according to the invitation they have received, and the significance of each seat goes further. One’s nobility and status are evident from the seating arrangement.
