The car arrived at the private parking lot, and the bodyguard quickly led Huo Sining and her group toward the private elevator entrance. As expected, Clayflo was already waiting at the elevator entrance. Seeing Huo Sining’s group approaching, Clayflo appeared quite happy and eagerly came up to greet them.

Zhou Shitao and the others had also learned from Huo Sining about Clayflo’s identity and simultaneously extended their hands to shake hands with Mr. Duke.

However, when Huo Sining saw the smile in Clayflo’s eyes, she was secretly gritting her teeth in anger.

The reason this guy was in such a good mood was clearly because he knew that these Huaxia people couldn’t bear to part with those two Beast Heads and would definitely buy them at all costs. Even if the bidding price for the Beast Heads during the auction were to reach absurd heights, Huo Sining’s group wouldn’t be willing to let them go.

In other words, Huo Sining and her group were like his mobile treasury right now; all he needed to do was to wait for the fish to bite. Someone was about to hand him money, and a large sum of it at that. Could he not be happy?

Of course, Huo Sining was infuriated with Clayflo, this old fox, but she was powerless because Clayflo had indeed calculated accurately. No matter how high the price for the Beast Heads was driven, her group would absolutely pay any cost to acquire them.

The group went upstairs, where Semiya and Alden and others were already waiting.

Semiya was evidently aware of her brother’s scheming against Huo Sining. Compared to the upcoming auction price for the two twelve zodiac animal heads, the antiques and the over ninety million in chips that she lost to Huo Sining a few days ago seemed insignificant.

Because once the transaction was successful, it would mean Huo Sining was going to spend several times, even over ten times, the money Semiya had lost earlier to repay.

Therefore, when Semiya looked at Huo Sining, her previous angry and resentful gaze was replaced with a face full of smiles, with her eyes occasionally flashing a hint of schadenfreude and pride.

Huo Sining certainly knew what was on Semiya’s mind. It seemed this girl thought her brother had avenged her, so her hostility towards Huo Sining had lessened.

However, if these two siblings knew that the money Huo Sining was going to use to bid on those two Beast Heads was not her own but belonged to all Americans, having been excavated from the Volcano Park in Oregon, their expressions would surely be quite amusing.

Huo Sining even made up an even nastier revenge plan in her mind, but this plan couldn’t be executed just yet. At least, she had to wait until she obtained those two Beast Heads and returned to her country.

Thinking about the siblings’ furious expressions upon learning the truth after this method was used, Huo Sining felt it would be very entertaining.

With this thought, much of the suffocating frustration within her dissipated instantly, her mood becoming much more pleasant, and her gaze towards Semiya softened, revealing a radiant smile, with no trace of reluctance.

Huo Sining’s smile immediately stunned both Clayflo and the Semiya siblings.

Although the siblings hadn’t interacted much with Huo Sining, even when Huo Sining won the contest against Alden before, they had never seen her smile genuinely like this. At this moment, this woman was suddenly smiling so brilliantly, which left Clayflo and his sister perplexed.

This woman should have already known they plotted against her; she should be anxiously trying to gather funds while secretly seething with hatred against them, shouldn’t she? Why weren’t they seeing the expected forced smile, but instead felt this woman was quite excited?

Semiya, having a simpler mind, simply thought this woman might not realize her brother’s ulterior arrangements at the auction, which is why she was smiling so carefreely.

Semiya looked at Huo Sining with a gaze full of ridicule and disdain, secretly thinking this woman was too naive and foolish. How could she truly think her brother was so kind-hearted to give her a priority to purchase and let them buy those two pieces so smoothly? Such a small-breasted, brainless woman, really making one wonder what kind of taste Windsor Caesar had to fancy her!

Semiya glanced at the flat chest of this Oriental woman, and felt indifferent.

But unlike Semiya’s feelings, Clayflo was very aware that this Huaxia woman was not as simple as his sister believed. This woman was able to show such a relaxed expression in such circumstances; there must be some issue. Perhaps she had already thought of some countermeasures and solutions, or maybe she had prepared some backup plans.

Clayflo secretly grew cautious, his mind rapidly processing. Suddenly, he remembered the report from his subordinate a couple of days ago: after defeating Alden, this woman returned to the hotel not to celebrate or visit the auction building, but instead went quietly with her companions to Oregon, vacationing at Polante’s rural town.

At the time, this woman’s odd behavior didn’t catch much of Clayflo’s attention, and he didn’t even let his men continue following. Looking back now, Clayflo felt that during such a critical time, this woman going to the countryside on vacation seemed very strange.

Clayflo’s mind paused, vaguely sensing an issue. Hence, after arranging Huo Sining and her group into a private room upstairs in the auction house, he quickly exited and summoned a trusted subordinate, instructing:

"Check on what exactly this Huaxia woman did in Oregon over the past two days!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The auction hadn’t started yet, but it would soon. Huo Sining and her group were led by Clayflo into a special private room, which was a VIP seat. There were six hundred regular seats in the auction hall below, while upstairs were two layers of private rooms around the auction hall, each layer containing twenty VIP private rooms prepared for those with special status.

Huo Sining hadn’t expected Clayflo to arrange such a private room for them, but upon consideration, with so many people taking up ten seats, it indeed seemed too obvious. Squeezing into a private room wouldn’t attract as much attention.

After arranging them, Clayflo exchanged a few pleasantries before directly exiting the private room, while Huo Sining’s group sat down, waiting for the upcoming auction to commence at any moment.
