Collecting Interest Again

Delia was completely stunned. From the moment Bolan entered, she had recognized him as Linley's older brother, the one who had caused such a stir at Ernst Institute years ago. Back then, Bolan's appearance had been utterly shocking. Someone about their age had actually tamed two Level 9 magical beasts—and they had been particularly powerful among Level 9 magical beasts.

It could be said that it was not just Delia; all the students of Ernst Institute admired Bolan greatly. They were equally envious that Linley had such a powerful older brother.

"If I remember correctly, you are Linley's older brother, Mr. Bolan, right?" Delia asked shyly. This was not the shyness between a man and woman, but rather the embarrassment of meeting a parent without any preparation. It left Delia both bashful and nervous, afraid that Bolan might dislike her and refuse to let her associate with Linley. Even though Linley had not accepted her yet!

From the moment Bolan entered the private room, he had been watching Delia. His eyes were full of satisfaction. "I really don't know what my little brother is thinking. Such a wonderful girl, yet he didn't pursue her and instead got involved with that vain woman. Honestly!"

Bolan looked at Delia with a smile and nodded. "You're Linley's little girlfriend, right? Not bad, not bad. Big Brother is very pleased! Haha!"

The moment Delia heard Bolan say that, her pretty face turned even redder. She hurriedly explained, "No, no, that's not it. Linley and I haven't started dating yet."

"You don't like Linley?" Bolan asked in a teasing tone. Cesar beside him immediately burst into laughter at those playful words.

"Little brother, can't you tell? This little girl clearly likes your brother very much," Cesar said with a laugh.

Hearing the teasing tones of Bolan and Cesar, Delia's already flushed face reddened all the way down to her neck.

"In that case, from now on, call me Big Brother just like Linley does," Bolan said directly when he saw that Delia was now too embarrassed to speak.

Delia's eyes widened when she heard that, and she stared at Bolan in disbelief. "Big Brother?" Had Linley's family accepted her?

When Bolan heard Delia unconsciously call him "Big Brother," he laughed even more happily.

"Haha, good sister-in-law, wait here. Big Brother will give you a grand gift," Bolan said. Then his eyes locked onto the Radiant Church's private room, filled with killing intent. The entire fortune of a peak Saint-level expert should be a suitable gift for his younger brother's wife!

Seeing Bolan staring murderously at the Radiant Church's private room, Cesar smiled. "The Radiant Church seems to have sent Wusennuo this time. Little brother, are you confident?"

"Big brother, just watch," Bolan said indifferently, as though he was about to kill a chicken rather than the renowned chief of the Religious Inquisition of the Radiant Church!

Hearing Bolan's confident words, Cesar laughed even more happily. "Then I'll wait and watch your performance, little brother," Cesar said with a grin.

Only Delia and her two servants looked at one another in shock. Upon hearing Bolan and Cesar's conversation, the two servants were so frightened that they nearly dropped to their knees. "Wusennuo? Who is that?" Delia was the only one who did not know whom they were discussing.

The two servants immediately whispered to Delia, "Wusennuo is the chief of the Radiant Church's Religious Inquisition. He is truly the Radiant Church's second-in-command. He was already a peak Saint-level expert hundreds of years ago."

Hearing that Bolan intended to kill someone so powerful, Delia cried out, "Big Brother, perhaps we should forget about this grand gift." Delia was terribly afraid that something might happen to Bolan. After all, he had been very kind to her.

"Little girl, don't worry. Wusennuo is nothing worth worrying about," Cesar said casually from beside her. Cesar knew that with Bolan's speed, Wusennuo was no match for him.

"Big Brother has already made a promise, so naturally I cannot take it back. Just sit here and watch," Bolan said with a smile. Seeing his future sister-in-law care about him so much made Bolan very happy as well.

Killing Wusennuo this time was not merely for a meeting gift. It was also meant as a warning to the Ryan Clan, to let them know that even a peak Saint-level expert was nothing more than a small dish to the Baruch Clan. Hopefully, the Ryan Clan would know better than to interfere with Linley and Delia's relationship.

This matter should reach the ears of the Ryan Clan's elders, shouldn't it? Thinking this, Bolan deliberately glanced at the two servants, whose faces had already gone pale.

Six million gold coins! Waves of shocked cries rang out from outside. Yale, the eldest in Linley's dormitory, had raised the price of the stone sculpture "Dream Awakening" to six million gold coins.

Eight million gold coins! The Debs Clan bids eight million gold coins! The auctioneer shouted, "Such a decisive bid of eight million gold coins! It seems the Debs Clan is determined to obtain this rare treasure, the stone sculpture!"

"Oh? That fellow is Linley's former romantic rival, right? And the woman behind him is Linley's ex-girlfriend?" Bolan asked doubtfully. In Bolan's eyes, Alice, who appeared so delicate and pitiful, could not compare to Delia even across countless Magical Beast Mountain Ranges.

"Big Brother, the one who just made that bid is Kalan, heir to the Debs Clan. The woman behind him is Alice," Delia said calmly. At this moment, Delia had someone backing her and was completely unafraid. Short-sighted Alice was absolutely not a suitable match for Linley, and Delia was very confident of that.

"Little brother, I'm quite interested in this stone sculpture as well. How about I join the bidding?" Cesar asked with great interest as he stared at the sculpture "Dream Awakening" in the auction hall.

"Big brother, why go through all that trouble? If you like it, I'll have Linley carve one especially for you later. Leave the one on the stage for my sister-in-law," Bolan replied with a hearty laugh.

Cesar nodded somewhat regretfully. "Sigh, I wonder whether I'll ever get to see such a masterpiece again," Cesar said regretfully.

Bolan looked at Delia and nodded. Delia immediately bid ten million gold coins, directly securing "Dream Awakening." Although it might be a little cheaper than in the original story, compared with Linley's financial situation in the original story, Linley now had no need to worry about gold coins at all.

When Linley had left last time, Bolan had directly given him several magic crystal cards containing more than ten million gold coins. Auctioning this stone sculpture now was merely to prove that he had bid farewell to his past world. Therefore, Linley would only be slightly pleased if it sold for a high price, and he would not be disappointed if it sold poorly.

Bolan did not ask how Delia intended to handle the stone sculpture. He merely told everyone to watch his performance carefully.

Then, with killing intent on his face, he fixed his gaze on Wusennuo, who was preparing to abduct Linley after the auction ended in order to threaten him!

Bolan immediately leaped from the private room and charged straight toward Wusennuo.
