Chapter 36 You Are Finally Here
Myrna packed her things up very quickly. She picked up her phone on the table and said in a hurry, “Yeah. Thank you.”
“But the teacher…”
Before Rachel finished speaking, her new deskmate had already left quickly. Myrna didn’t even look back.
Rachel was so worried.
There would be an opening ceremony later. Rachel was worried that teachers would find out about Myrna’s absence.

An underground auction house in Melcester.
At the moment, there were all kinds of luxury cars parked outside the unassuming bar.
Myrna paid the taxi driver, casually bought a cap at the street corner, and put it on her head. The cap covered most of her face, only revealing her delicate lower jaw. Myrna followed the bustling crowd and went in.
“You are finally here!” Denise Taylor saw Myrna in the crowd immediately. She pulled Myrna’s arm and said, “Hurry up. The auction has already started.”
The bar looked shabby outside. But inside, it was way different.
The bar was big and had an auction block in the middle. Apart from

that, there were little and separated private rooms.
People in the rooms could clearly see the auction items. But people from outside couldn’t see anything in the rooms.
There was someone checking invitations at the entrance.
Myrna took a look. The security guards‘ pockets were full. It seemed like they had guns.
Myrna thought. “Martin’s place is nice.
Myrna put her hands in her pockets and followed Denise in, looking relaxed.

The auction on the stage was in full swing.
Room B2.
Neilson Cooper was restless. From time to time, he looked at Calvin. However, Calvin looked down and didn’t seem to be interested in the auction. He was playing with the e–cigarette in his hand.
Calvin’s face was good–looking and charming. But his eyes were filled with violence.
Under the sleeves were his strong wrists. The beaded bracelet was eye- catching.
“Calvin, the auction is half over. Aren’t you going to buy something?” Neilson couldn’t help but ask.
Calvin raised his eyelids and took a look down. He didn’t even move and only said, “It’s not time yet.”

Cedric stood beside Calvin like a bodyguard. He explained to Neilson in a low voice, “Mr. Cooper, the thing that Mr. Larson wants isn’t auctioned yet.”
Neilson pressed his lips and wanted to ask Cedric what Calvin wanted. But Calvin wasn’t an ordinary person. He and Neilson weren’t close. So, Neilson had to hold her questions back, sitting there and keeping waiting.
Time passed.
Finally, a different person came onto the stage.
The auctioneer in charge of the early sale went down, replaced by a young man.
The man was probably 25 years old and had a harmless face. But he wore a necklace with a skull pendant, which didn’t match his temperament.
“Next, we are going to auction an unusual thing. I believe that many of you came for it today. I won’t waste your time. Let’s start.”
Two sleek models, who were about 1.7 meters high, brought a plate to the table and unwrapped the red cloth.
It was a piece of thing that looked both like meat and mushrooms.
“A kilogram of Ganoderma lucidum. The seller trusted me to sell it. The starting price is 400 thousand dollars, at least raising it by 20 thousand dollars at a time.”
Neilson had been in Melcester for a long time. For the first time, he saw the legendary Ganoderma lucidum. Neilson was dumbfounded.
He wanted to ask about it.

At that moment, Calvin, who hadn’t bought anything yet, suddenly said, “Call out bids, 800 thousand dollars.”
Calvin raised the price by 400 thousand dollars at a time.
Neilson paused for a second. Then, he knew that was why Calvin let him come. Neilson stood up and called
