The bid of 150 million was way beyond the ginkgo’s actual value. Pearl patted Richard on the shoulder.

“Alright, stop bidding.

Richard, however, paid no attention to her and raised his plate. “300 million dollars.”

“Alright, anyone higher than 300 million?”

Hugo thought about it and ultimately decided to give up.

“300 million once, 300 million twice, sold! Congratulations on winning the bid, sir.”

Pearl couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him. “You’re throwing money around. If I had known it would cost

this much, I would have asked Master Jordan for the money.”

Richard affectionately patted her head. “It’s fine, I have the money.”

“Who doesn’t? But you should know when to spend it,” Pearl muttered, sounding a bit reluctant. Such a

big spender. She was beginning to think she was unlucky to have married him. So unlucky!

Pearl’s mood shifted to surprise when Richard suddenly turned to her and said, “I’ll give you all my

money so you can keep an eye on it.”

“Deal.” Despite her previous grumbling, Pearl couldn’t help but be pleased that he had won the ginkgo

for her.

As they were leaving, a group of people blocked their path.

“Richard, it’s quite a surprise to see you here. Didn’t you use to say that things at the black market are

filthy and you would rather die than come here?”

Hugo regarded Richard with a smug expression, finding it ironic that Richard, who typically acted

superior, was now at the black market. ‘Arrogant. That’s going to change soon!’

“Why are you blocking me?” Richard seemed irritated, and his intimidating expression sent shivers

down the spines of those around him.

Everyone around could only watch and didn’t dare do anything to him.

“Although it’s not ideal to corner you like this…” Hugo’s smile took on a menacing tone. ” Hand over the

ginkgo.”

Pearl clutched the ginkgo more tightly to her chest and calmly retorted, “Why? You couldn’t get it during

the auction, so now you want to rob us?”

Hugo glanced at her with a smirk “Pearl, if you agree to be with me, I’ll give it to you.”

“What? Hugo, Richard bought this. Don’t you have a bit of shame?” This was the first time she realized

just how shameless some people could be.

Hugo seemed unperturbed, as if he hadn’t heard her comment. “If you refuse, don’t blame me for

taking it from you.”

The atmosphere became tense, and onlookers seemed ready to pounce.

“Hold on!”

A deep voice rang out from behind, and Hugo suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. He signaled to his

men to stop and turned to find a group of people approaching.

Hugo squinted. “May I know who you are?”

“I’m Reese Cooper, and I didn’t expect people to be so overbearing in this market,” the newcomer

replied with a hint of sarcasm.

Hugo recognized that he had run into an obstacle and moderated his tone. “You’re the boss here. I’m

just here to collect a debt.”

Before he could take any action, they had stumbled upon the secret founder of the black. market. Luck

seemed to be favoring Pearl and Richard.

Reese’s eyes gleamed with intensity as he offered a sly smile. “A debt, you say? Tell me, are you here
