Transmigrated as Baron, Married with my Lovely Maid-Chapter 78

"Eight million dollars...! That’s the highest price a billionaire has ever asked...! And he’s challenging Mr. Dezy...!"

The host was immediately shocked by my call to bid eight million dollars for the Angel’s Tear pendant.

At the same time, the billionaires immediately stared at me with mixed feelings: some were amazed, some were shocked, and some were dismissive.

I could even hear their whispers of disdain.

"What kind of billionaire is he to dare challenge Dezy...?"

"He seems like someone who has just enjoyed his wealth and can’t manage it, so he just squanders it..."

"Not only did he waste that much money...but he also challenged Dezy...what a stupid and irrational decision..."

Well, fuck them.

I don’t need validation from people who don’t know my struggle to get the Angel’s Tear pendant.

Besides, I don’t have that much money, but I have other things that can pay for it!

"Wait a minute...!" Dezy rose from his chair with an irritated expression.

His sharp, irritated gaze was still fixed on me.

"Eight million dollars...? From a homeless person like you, Atreus...?! Huh...! I knew you were suffering from a severe form of acute hallucination syndrome, but I never thought you’d be so delusional...! My fellow billionaires...! Don’t believe him! He’s actually homeless...! That nice suit he’s wearing isn’t his...! He must have stolen it...!"

The billionaires gasped, shocked by Dezy’s statement.

I certainly didn’t deny it because what he said was true.

But that didn’t mean I was backing down.

"The auction for the angel’s tears pendant has already started, so I had to do this to get past security. But I have eight million dollars to buy it! I’m serious!" I exclaimed.

"You often hallucinate with numbers you can’t grasp, Atreus...! What a disgrace! You’re worthless among billionaires...! If you really have money, show me...!"

"I didn’t buy it with money... but I’ll buy it with something worth far more than money itself...!"

Suddenly, the billionaires, including Dezy and Ela, fell silent for a moment upon hearing my statement.

A second later, they burst out laughing, laughing at my stupidity and naivety.

"Ahahahah...! So you’re just someone whose hallucinations are beyond help, just like Mr. Dezy said...!"

"Hahhaahah...! No wonder Mr. Dezy is annoyed with you, you crazy person...! You’re truly beyond help...! You need to be admitted to a mental hospital...!"

The billionaires were no longer whispering like before; they were laughing and belittling me so loudly, turning the hall where the auction was being held into a stage full of ridicule and insults.

But I already knew this kind of reaction was bound to happen to me.

I remained calm, clenching my right fist as the Black Star in my palm reacted.

I only need a moment for every thing I planned executed nicely.

"Hahahahah.....! Ohhohohohoho...! What an idiot...! You want to pay with something more than money...?! What do you have...?! Counterfeit money...?! Did you make and print it before coming here until it was eight million dollars...?! Hahahahahah...!" Dezy exclaimed, still laughing out loud, belittling me.

"Ahahah...! I tell you, dear....he is indeed an unreasonable and delusional person! My decision to divorce him and take custody of the children was the right one! I don’t want to live with that crazy person anymore...!" Ela chimed in with her own demeaning laughter.

Being laughed at by this jerk, Ela, made my heart burn. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

I still remember when I was young and still chasing Ela, saving up little by little until I had enough capital to marry her and build a family with her.

But seeing her laugh and belittle me like this reminded me of how foolish I was to fall for a love that actually enslaved me.

Twenty years of a relationship that immediately ended, along with 17 years of my career, were also destroyed by that ungrateful woman.

My house... my car... my financial assets... everything was robbed by her with a slander she so skillfully fabricated.

Everything I had built with all my energy and sacrifice felt like it had been destroyed just like that because of this bastard woman!

"Mr. Atreus...! Is it true that you really don’t have any money...?"

The question was asked directly by the auction host, who I knew didn’t believe me either.

I was in a group of jerks who didn’t believe me.

But I know how to handle it wisely, without violence, without black flame magic that can burn every single one of them, or without black wind magic that could slice them apart instantly with a wind cutter.

The Black Star in my right palm had reacted strongly enough, indicating that my time and dimension spell was working.

"Hahahaah...! Enough laughing...! This hallucinogenic human must be thrown out of the Rainville building...! Call security...! Throw him out...!" Dezy shouted loudly.

The entrance to the hall opened, and everyone assumed security was about to enter.

However, it wasn’t security who entered, but a tall woman wearing a red dress covered with a white furry coat.

Her beautiful, long brown hair shimmered softly, along with her beautiful face and sexy lips.

Her smooth, glowing skin shimmered, arousing the desire of anyone who saw her.

Heck, even when I saw her sexy cleavage, my cock naturally aroused.

The woman’s eyes were calm and serious, but no one could deny her beauty even with her serious expression.

Even Ela, dressed in all her expensive jewelry and make-up, couldn’t deny that the woman was far more beautiful, sexy, and elegant than she was.

The woman carried a black suitcase in her right hand, and she continued to walk toward me calmly and elegantly.

Even the security guards, who initially thought they were coming in to arrest me, were instead keeping the woman safe.

This made Dezy furious.

"Hey...! Why are you securing that woman...! Arrest and expel Atreus...!" he exclaimed, annoyed.

"B-boss...! Excuse us...! But this woman is carrying... something valuable...!" one of the security guards said, looking flustered.

The woman arrived next to me, then smiled and bowed.

She politely handed me her black suitcase.

"Thank you, Leysha... You look beautiful in that dress," I complimented.

"You’re welcome, Baron Atreus... I was actually quite surprised when I arrived here wearing this dress... but as long as this outfit makes the Baron happy, I’ll definitely wear it happily..." Leysha replied politely.

I smiled, then my attention turned to Dezy, who was still glaring at me angrily.

I saw he was even holding her handgun, as if preparing to shoot me on the spot because his patience was running out.

"Looks like you can’t wait to see that precious item that could be worth over eight million dollars, Dezy...!" I exclaimed, now full of confidence, showing the black suitcase.

"Hah...! What other cheap tricks do you want to show, Atreus...?! Your life is over...! You’ll end up here, and that beautiful woman will lose a lot for helping you...!" Dezy exclaimed.

"Oh, I know that woman...! She’s the poor woman Atreus managed to trick...! Stupid woman! Why did she still let Atreus trick her...! You’re completely brainless...!" Ela insulted Leysha in a jealous tone.

I was fed up enough hearing the two of them, and the arrogant billionaires in this hall, yapping to belittle me.

Without another word, I opened the black suitcase.

And everyone was stunned because what was inside was...
