Chapter 1623 Waiting for Wolf's Signal
Wolf recalled Wynter's warning to steer clear of illegal activities, but she had also mentioned that specialExclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
situations might call for special measures. After a moment of contemplation, he decided to access the virtual IP address and identify whoever was harming Wynter.
Once Wolf set his mind on something, there was no stopping him. Besides, Wynter wasn't there to intervene. Even if the other party had called the police, Wolf pressed on and breached the virtual IP address.
The hacking process took time, especially with a stronger firewall that required extra effort to breach. On top of that, gaining access to such an IP address demanded authorized access.
To avoid causing mayhem, Wolf bypassed multiple departments, sifted through the misleading information, and accurately pinpointed the genuine IP address.
The auction continued, but little did Judah know that he had been exposed. He believed he was in the safest position, and he truly had been for many years. He had never made a public appearance, remaining in the shadows.
Standing beside the screen, Edward seemed to have taken the role of Judah's messenger. "Rest assured, the ones suited for you are kept in the basement."
Only then did Judah's raspy voice take on a joyful tone. "Excellent. Find a way to send them to the mountains once this is over."
Edward leaned in and inquired respectfully, "What about the promise you made to me?"
"She's already out. I don't see why you care about a fake socialite who can't even accomplish anything. I nearly got caught getting her out of there. This is the last time I'm doing this," Judah replied.
Edward raised his head and assured him, "I promise that it won't happen again. This world is now ours. Look at those people their weaknesses are all in your hands. As for the Whitman family, you won't be hearing from them much longer."
"All I care about are the Quinnells. They crushed my career fortune back then, and I want their descendants to taste the same agony!" Judah vowed.
With downcast eyes, Edward echoed with a note of resentment, "You're not the only one who loathes the Quinnell family. We all feel the same way and share the same goal."
As Edward and Judah were conversing, the auction continued to call for bids. "Three million dollars going once, going twice... Five million! We have an offer of five million dollars! Is there a higher bid?
"Five and a half million! It seems like our new friends are pretty well-off. Mr. Tiger here has just offered five and a half million dollars. Does anyone want to top that?"
Keesha noticeably hesitated at the hefty sum. She had learned that the young women on stage came from a poor background, despite her healthy physique.
Yet, she also heard that they were intelligent and academically strong. Plus, their birth dates and horoscopes were compatible with hers.
With that in mind, Keesha raised her bid paddle and offered five million and six thousand dollars.
Hozier snorted. "Is that all? You're rather stingy. Six million! Don't bid against me. I'm risking my life here." While six million for ordinary goods felt excessive, those present knew that it wasn't wise to compete with a desperate man. There were still plenty of fine goods left, so there was no need to rush.
"If you put it that way, I'll bow out. The others can proceed." Several buyers began to lower their bid paddles.
Keesha looked around before letting out a chuckle. "I'll give up too, then."
As Wynter listened to the commotion below, her gaze was fixated on Edward, who was lingering in the corner.
