Chapter 230 Did You Say That About Me?

During the day, she went out to gather information and confirm the matter.

Yves remarked, "Sweetheart, don't gross me out."

Considering what Isabelle said, it was not hard to guess what all these people at the venue were pondering as they stared at her and Yves.

They hesitated to make a move, wary of their overwhelming presence.

Both of them took seats in the front row.

Those few guys who were guarding the entrance yesterday and were knocked over by Isabelle were now at the venue. When they saw Isabelle, they immediately reported to their boss. "She's the one."

The event supervisor looked over and told his team, "Inform the superior, we've got some newcomers."

The auction began. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

About five or six women had their hands tied with a rope and were shoved onto the stage like animals. They came from different nations, had different skin colours, were barefoot, with injuries on their bodies, and barely dressed.

Yves looked at Isabelle and asked, "Sweetheart, were you here yesterday? Did something occur?"

Isabelle responded, "I saved someone."

Yves commented, "When did you become so kind-hearted? Was it a man or a woman? If it was a man, did he attempt to win you over?"

Isabelle looked at the stage and questioned, "What are your thoughts?

Yves shrugged. "If it was a woman, it's alright."

The auction started, but the crowd was less excited than usual. They all had blank faces, staring at Isabelle in the front row like hunters eyeing their prey.

The ladies crying on the stage, the two people chatting as if they were alone in the first row, and the spectators below watching with rapt attention. Except for the intermittent crying and the occasional conversation between the two people, there was no other sound in the venue.

There was a strange sense of depression in the venue.

At this moment, a man suddenly walked in at the door, attracting attention in this quiet venue.

The man was tall and wearing a suit...

He walked straight towards Isabelle and Yves, then sat down next to Isabelle.

Yves looked beyond Isabelle to the center and commented to Jim, "Why do you seem a bit unkempt?"

Jim loosened his tie and said, “I arrived by myself, unlike you, a big boss with your entire crew. Isabelle looked at the unanticipated presence of Jim, then turned her gaze to Yves. She originally wanted to act alone and didn't want to tell anyone.

It was Yves who recommended her to go to Melfrey over the winter holiday, so Isabelle told him she was going to Alcotl

Under Yves' questioning, she revealed her search for Spadille.

Yves enthusiastically joined her.

He even invited Jim to come along.

What was supposed to be a solo mission had turned into a group effort.

Isabelle said. "So free?"

Jim

n was looking down at the bloodstains on his clothes.

Before he could reply, Yves cut in, "How many major cases in this world need his direct attention? It's been

a long time since the three of us have been together, and this place seems perfect for it."

Jim took off his blood-stained suit jacket and said, "I've been looking forward to meeting those Dark Shadow guys for a while."

Yves remarked, "You're dressed rather formally for a place like this."

Jim threw his jacket aside, replying, "Shut up. If you had told me sooner, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry. I got off the plane and transferred directly. I didn't even change my clothes. I feel so fatigued after two days of traveling

Yves took his hand away from Isabelle's shoulder, straightened his posture, and took off his windbreaker.

Jim extended his hand to take it, saying, "Appreciate it." Yves ignored him, saying, "Appreciate what? Not a chance."

He shook out the jacket and passed it to Isabelle, saying, "Sweetheart, be careful not to catch a cold."

Jim pulled back his hand, not wanting to deal with him.

He casually crossed his legs, a few bloodstains still noticeable on the collar of his white shirt. Behind his glasses, he watched the women on stage.

He commented, "I've heard about these auctions, but this is the first time I've seen one in person."

Yves replied, "I thought your organization was also involved in things like this."

Jim shot back, "Isabelle wasn't wrong when she said your mouth is..."

Yves asked, "What about it?"

Jim replied, "It's full of crap.

Yves faced Isabelle, eyes wide with surprise. "Sweetheart, did you actually say that about me?* Isabelle stared straight ahead.

Yves leaned in closer and asked again, "Sweetheart, did you really say that about me?" Isabelle still didn't look his way.

Yves tried to turn her face towards him, but Isabelle brushed his hand away, saying, "Hush."

Feeling hurt, Yves said, "Sweetheart, I can't believe you actually said that about me."

At that moment, a figure appeared from behind the stage, making Isabelle look away from the women on stage to focus on the newcomer.

She had only glimpsed his profile the night before, but now she could see his full face clearly. "It's really him."

He was also looking at Isabelle.

Josh, the adopted son of Heart K, was very lucky and actually escaped from the cruise ship.

Isabelle noticed the red totem tattoo on his neck.

Wasn't he the adopted son of Heart K? How did he get involved with the Warners?

Jim and Yves also observed Josh.
