King of Slaughter

Chapter 5: Spending a Fortune

Oceanus City, Moore family.

Oral Moore looked at his son's body, his face dark, although he did not get angry, the hostility in his eyes had already said it all.

"Have you found out the background of that Maverick Steele?" Oral Moore said in a deep voice.

Everyone looked at each other and no one dared to answer.

"I couldn't find anything. I even used my military connections, but I didn't find any record of this person," Phoebe Wilcox frowned.

"We can't find anything. Could it be... that this person's background is fabricated?" After a pause, Grover Moore clenched his teeth and said, "Dad, today is the day when the ancestral home of Stewart Family is being auctioned. Since Maverick Steele dares to threaten the five major families. Fine. I'll go and buy that house, then tear it down and turn it into public toilets."

This method not only insulted the once glorious Stewart Family, but also challenged Maverick Steele.

Grover Moore, the second young master of the Moore family.

Although he was the second young master, Grover Moore's methods were much stronger than Rebecca Moore's. He was always decisive and ruthless in his actions. In the circles of those rich and young, he was known as the "World Devil King".

"Master, it's better to be cautious. Although we haven't found out his background yet, I don't think he's pretending," Phoebe Wilcox said worriedly.

Whenever she thought of Maverick Steele's fierce and ruthless gaze, her legs couldn't help but tremble.

Especially the ruthless move of killing Rebecca Moore with a single blow.

Every time she thought about it, Phoebe Wilcox would break out in a cold sweat.

"He's not pretending, does that mean our Moore family is just a pushover?" Grover Moore sneered, "Besides, the ancestral home of Stewart Family was taken over by the bank, I'll go and legally buy it, then tear down our own house. What can Maverick Steele do to me?"

"..."

Phoebe Wilcox vaguely felt that something was not right, but she didn't know how to remind them.

"What do you think, Dad?" Grover Moore asked.

Oral Moore pondered for half a second and nodded, "Go ahead."

He didn't believe how powerful Maverick Steele was in his heart. He simply believed that on the night of the banquet, there were no strong people from the major families present, so Phoebe Wilcox, Rebecca Moore, and the others would be in chaos.

If Oral Moore or any of the heads of the five major families were present at the time, Maverick Steele would have been crushed long ago.

...

After having lunch with Mary, Maverick Steele took her hand and got into the car.

"Uncle, where are we going?" Mary looked up with her pure and clear face, full of curiosity.

"We're going to take back the ancestral home of Stewart Family," Maverick Steele said.

In an instant, Mary's curious expression froze, and it was replaced by a mixture of fear, pain, grievance, and unwillingness...

All sorts of emotions mixed together, appearing on the face of this four-year-old girl.

"Uncle... Is it dangerous?" After a while, Mary wiped away her stubborn tears and asked.

She was worried about Maverick Steele.

"No, it's not," Maverick Steele shook his head, and said seriously, "I will help Mary get back everything that originally belonged to the Stewart Family."

Back then, Maverick Steele was in trouble.

Among the millions of people in the world, only Julieta Stewart took the initiative to help him.

Now that Julieta Stewart was in trouble, Maverick Steele arrived a little too late, and could only make up for his gratitude by taking care of Mary.

Half an hour later, Maverick Steele arrived at the auction venue.

The ancestral home of Stewart Family was just one of the auction items. This auction also included many antiques, famous paintings, jade, luxury homes, and the like.

Therefore, the large groups and capitals that came to watch were countless and uninterrupted.

"Domain Lord, the Moore family has released news saying that they are determined to win the ancestral home of Stewart Family," Barbara Lee said with a serious expression after getting off the car.

"The Moore family?" Maverick Steele raised his eyebrows, "If they want to go to death to accompany Julieta earlier, I don't mind."

Having said that, he took Mary's hand and entered the auction hall.

"You... Are you Maverick Steele?" Just as they entered, a woman in a red dress ran up to him, her face full of surprise.

Maverick Steele turned his head and saw a stunning woman looking at him with delight. This woman had long hair down to her shoulders and exquisite features. Under her long eyelashes, there was a tear mole, and her eyes were bright and shining with aura.

Her beauty was no less than Quinn Gilbert's.

"What a coincidence." Maverick Steele nodded, "After many years,you've become even more beautiful."

This woman was Rylie Smith, the beauty of their middle school days. She had even confessed to Maverick Steele back then.

It was also because of Rylie Smith's confession that Maverick Steele and Julieta Stewart were surrounded by a group of people led by a wealthy trust fund baby, and they were robbed of all their money.

So, Maverick Steele had a deep impression of her.

It's not that he was holding a grudge, after all, he couldn't blame Rylie Smith for what happened back then.

"I don't think so." Rylie Smith smiled sweetly, a little shy, "It's you who have become more handsome, and you look so heroic. Just now, I almost thought I mistook you for someone else!"

After many years, the handsome and compelling boy from before seemed to have even more charm now!

Rylie Smith blushed slightly and suddenly realized that Maverick Steele wasn't alone.

A one-meter-tall little girl, with a face as delicate as white jade, was hiding behind Maverick Steele.

With childishness still present on her face, her black eyes were full of liveliness.

The little girl tightly held onto Maverick Steele's hand, indicating an extremely close relationship.

"You... Is she your daughter?" Rylie Smith asked cautiously.

After asking, she regretted it.

It seemed like she was afraid of getting a positive answer, but also afraid that Maverick Steele would see through her intentions.

"She is Julieta Stewart's daughter," Maverick Steele answered truthfully.

"Julieta Stewart?" Rylie Smith was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Mary with some sympathy, feeling uneasy in her heart. After all, Julieta Stewart had been her classmate as well.

Maverick Steele nodded and changed the topic, "The auction is about to start, let's find a place to sit.""Okay."

Interestingly, the first thing to be auctioned is the ancestral home of Stewart Family.

The Moore family had already made it known that they wanted to buy the ancestral home of Stewart Family and convert it into a public restroom.

Once the news spread, no one dared to make a move on the ancestral home of Stewart Family anymore. After all, it was already intimidating when the five major families were not allied.

Now that the five major families are allied, the Moore family and others have even more power.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we will now begin the auction of the first item, the ancestral home of Stewart Family. This house is located in the city center of Oceanus City and covers an area of 400 square meters. It is a courtyard villa with a yard area of 240 square meters."

"The starting price is 39 million!"

In the valuable Oceanus City, a courtyard villa covering an area of 400 square meters, with a starting price of 39 million, did not have a premium.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the bidding will now begin immediately."

The host did not waste any time and announced that everyone could start bidding.

"40 million."

Sure enough, as soon as the host finished speaking, a young man in a tailored suit raised his hand.

"Second young master of the Moore family?"

"Indeed, the Moore family is bound to win!"

Seeing Grover Moore making a bid, although many people wanted to buy this house, they did not dare to compete.

Within half a minute, no one else made a bid. Just as the host thought that this house was about to belong to the Moore family, suddenly, a stunning woman in military attire stood up and said, "80 million!"

Eight...eighty million?

Everyone was stunned. Although this house still had room for appreciation, it couldn't exceed 50 million at most. Who was so crazy to offer 80 million?

Who is she, daring to challenge the Moore family in public?
