Hollywood Zenith

The other lot which garnered some attention was Angelina\' romantic candlelight dinner. It ended up becoming a stage for several second generations to compete. Others knew these fools were trying to scale a mountain, but what could people say to these brats?

The base price, set at 5,000 US dollars, was now trailing at 30,000 US dollars. Samuel was also tempted to move. His motivation was different; he had come to admire her as an idol. He could have some \'interesting\' talks over that dinner.

Especially in the movie "Tomb Raider", her dreamy figure-, no, her alluring personality in some of the scenes, was something he came to appreciate. Samuel had a pure mindset and only wanted to get acquainted.

However, It was his wishful thinking. The four women watched his every move; if he ended up giving in to the temptation, the consequences would be scary.

"Cheh." Samuel clicked his tongue with a bit of regret and proceeded to take a sip of the cocktail in his hand.

"Heh, I didn\'t know you also wanted to spend the night with her. " Maia, who paid attention to Samuel\' every move, raised her eyebrows and asked sarcastically. She could see him staring at the current bidders with her watchful eyes.

This question shocked not only Samuel but the other three women, too, as they all cast suspicious glances. Although the four beauties were from extraordinary families, they still considered other girls a threat. Especially a famous celebrity like Angelina, who had a \'mature\' charm about her.

They were also a little childish because they were still young. Samuel sighed; why was he scrutinized so much for his every move?

" Can\'t I? A man had to dream, right?" Samuel said.

"""What""" The four of them exclaimed. Do they have another contender? They had to admit that Jolie\'s threat was too much for them.

" Relax, I am only joking." Samuel diffused the situation with an awkward laugh and continued.

"Uh, It\'s just pure appreciation. From one actor to another, it would be valuable research. " He responded with a wry smile.

But they were more challenging to fool. They decided to stay vigilant!

At a distance, Liliana was serving drinks to the guest. It would be wrong if she said she wasn\'t interested in this party.

As a woman with incredibly \'valuable\' assets, she was designated one of the main waiters. While serving, she also shadowed Samuel, whom she had met earlier.

She was shocked when she saw the scene where four girls surrounded him, from the conversation of others she found out that the young man was very famous.

The girls were also from the top families, it was clear as a day what they wanted, but the young man had his guard up throughout their conversation.

" Rich people are definitely different. They could openly fight over someone without being ashamed." She thought. At this point, it was only pure curiosity; she could not delude herself over fictitious things.

While she was lost in her thoughts, someone called for her. She noticed it was a fancy table, and the person sitting there was none other than Angelina, a top Hollywood superstar.

She also noticed that her mood seemed to be sour for some reason.

" Here you go, ma\'am." She said courteously as she passed the drink.

" Thanks."

The auction for the candlelight dinner also concluded, and the final price came out to be a hundred grand, an enormous increase from its base price.

" Congratulation," Liliana said hurriedly. But Angelina was neither happy nor sad; she seemed to be looking over the winner of the bid and then glanced at the stand nearby.

" Hah. Thanks, could you bring some more drinks?" She sighed.

" Yes, ma\'am." Liliana left, but she saw the whole thing.

" What\'s this? Even top celebrities are interested in him?" Liliana thought. But seeing him uninterested in such things raised his standing even higher in her mind.

" Again? Wake up, you silly girl!" She again reminded herself.

Finally, it was the turn of the four women\'s items to be auctioned. Samuel was curious to know if it was intentional, but their items were set to be auctioned in a row. Was it pure coincidence, or was someone playing tricks? Samuel thought.

His worries were unfounded as the organizers only wanted to create some shock value, like a special sale that shops did to promote their event.

It seemed to be workings, as much second-generation\'s blood was pumping vigorously. It was their chance to impress the young ladies! With enough show of strength, they were bound to succeed!

All the second generations also cheered up and prepared for a big fight. Samuel didn\'t have any inkling to participate, so he was getting ready to watch a good show.

But it seemed like someone was unwilling to let him enjoy his peaceful time.

" ho, boy, isn\'t it a good time to show your prowess? Are you still denying your destiny?" Apollo\'s voice rang in his ear.

His master was increasingly shameless, and the once pure entity was slowly becoming corrupt while influenced by this realm\'s culture.

" Why? I don\'t want to stick out my neck." Samuel said hesitantly.

" Che? Are you still scared about what happened a few months ago? I told you countless times it was not your fault!" Apollo exclaimed.

" Still-"

" I didn\'t watch that bright kid turn into such a pathetic state, worrying about everything. Besides, think about Iblis; you are ready to tarnish your engagement. You have to at least participate for her sake." Apollo urged him. In reality, there was no way out of it. His disciple needed courage most; without it he would be eaten alive by worries.

Apollo was a little deceitful with his words, but he only did it for Samuel\'s sake.

" You have to face her someday, right? Be confident and take the first step! If you do something wrong, you gotta take some \'responsibility\' for it, right?"

" See! Now you are saying that I did something wrong-"

" Wait! It already started." Apollo urged him to act.

" Huh? It\'s Maia\'s item; I have nothing to do with it, right?" Samuel asked.

Maia\'s TF limited edition jewellery was the first item from four women\'s lots.

" What are you saying? Are you stupid? If you favour only one of them- I don\'t want to tell you the rest, right?"

" Fuck! Damn you old man!"

" Ohoho, Language, young man! Good luck."
