Chapter 848
When it was time for a living person to be auctioned, the atmosphere was livelier than it was for items.
The guests had already taken their numbers and entered the ce early, looking forward to what kind
of prey they could obtain today.
Right before the opening ceremony, Flora received news that someone was trying to stop it.
She knew who it was very well. "That''s quick. Proceed.”
"Ms. Colt, the other party seems toe from a prominent background. Even Mr. Stamford treats him
with respect. The boss isn''t on the ship this time. If things go south, we won''t be able to handle the
consequences.”
She crossed her arms. "I don''t care even if he''s the prime minister. He has to abide by the rules as long
as he''s on the ship. Don''t forget what kind of ce this is.
“It is because the country''sw isn''t capable of keeping this under control. That''s why there are so
many people splurging money on this ship. Once he breaks the rules, who else woulde in the
future?”
"But—"
Flora waved her hand impatiently. "Tell him that he has to earn his rights if he wants to see them.”
"Ms. Colt, that bitch mentioned Ethan Miller too. Do you think that it could really be him?"
"You fool! Have you not read the news? He has been in Vuckburg for half a year. Even if he has wings,
he won''t be able to arrive here this quickly.” She snorted coldly. "That person is trying to pull a trick.
Let''s see what he has up his sleeves.”
"Ms. Colt, my hunch keeps telling me that something''s off. I''ve looked into how those two people
boarded the ship, they
"Enough with the nonsense. The auction is going to start soon. Get ready.”
Flora set this up to make Ethan regret it. She couldn''t care less about anything now. The thought of the
humiliation she suffered that night alone made her blood boil.
He fed her the entire bottle of drugs and stopped her from venting her frustration. The waves of heat
tortured her again and again.
She almost lost her life! She didn''t even know how she overcame it.
Flora kept thinking about Ethan—that bastard—the whole time. She swore that she would return him
the pain tenfold.
Meanwhile, Ethan had received the news that the other party wouldn''t release Olivia and Alicia.
"Mr. Miller, I''ve asked around about it. That woman is the second-inmand. The owner of the ship
isn''t around today, so she''s in charge. It''s obvious that she''sing for you.
“We have more than ten men on the ship. Their crew has more than a hundred people. It''s equivalent
to a small group of mercenaries. We can''t go head-to-head for now. Otherwise, Mrs. Miller and Ms.
Alicia will be in danger.”
The air around Ethan was cold. "How long will it take Brent and the others toe?"
“It''ll take at least five hours by helicopter.”
In other words, Ethan had to tolerate it for such a long time.
"Mr. Miller, there''s one more thing. Previously, you used warships to eliminate those pirates. Now that
you''ve delegated the army without permission, it''ll be difficult to give an exnation to the higher-ups.
You know that the people on this ship ...”
Joshua was worried about Ethan.
There would always be someone to fill up the pit of the ugliness of this world.
And there would always be someonemitting underhanded things in the dark.
There were never only ck and white in this world. The gray area would always be the most sensitive
territory.
Even if Joshua didn''t point it out explicitly, Ethan knew about it as well.
Aside from offenders, there were a lot of “righteous” people mingling around here.
This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
They were the backers that rendered the existence of this ship possible.
Now, Ethan had intruded the ce, affecting their business and trampling on their ego. Thus, it might
do no good to his future.
During the past two years, he had stepped down from half of his responsibilities because of Olivia''s
matter.
His enemies were taking advantage of the situation bying after him.
If he wasn''t selected during the election, he wouldn''t just lose his position but also the entire Miller
family.
