StarNovelChapter 297 Sebastian was taken aback. He knew Bruce was kind to him, but he hadn't expected such generosity.
Not only did Bruce intend to marry off his precious daughter to him, but he was also offering the invaluable Ninefold Griffin Amulet for his cultivation. It was a level of care that felt almost paternal.
"Mr. Sanders, I appreciate your kindness, but I hope you can reconsider the marriage between Lana and me." "Why? Don't you want to marry Lana?" Bruce was surprised.
Bruce couldn't fathom why Sebastian would want to call off the engagement. He knew exactly how outstanding Lana was. She was not only beautiful and talented in cultivation but also well-educated, understanding, and kind-hearted.
She had countless suitors. What reason could Sebastian possibly have to turn her down? "Mr. Sanders, Lana is wonderful, but I see her as a sister. I don't have romantic feelings for her. Marrying her would be unfair to her," Sebastian explained.

"Over the years, she's turned down countless suitors for your sake. Do you really want to break her heart?" Bruce said.
"I..." Sebastian hesitated. He knew Lana had feelings for him, and rejecting her would undoubtedly hurt her deeply.
Bruce continued, "Larry and I arranged your marriage to Lana. It was our shared wish. But I won't force you if you truly don't want to marry Lana. I just hope you'll think it over carefully." "I will." Sebastian nodded.
That night, Sebastian stayed at the Sanders Manor instead of returning to his hotel.
The following day, he met up with Joseph and Zia before heading to the auction venue. Lana and Harvey didn't accompany them, as the auction was a joint event hosted by the four major families, and they were the organizers. Naturally, they wouldn't participate in the bidding.
They arrived early at the venue, but a long line had already formed at the entrance. Though the auction was over an hour away, people were already eagerly pushing in to secure good seats.
The better the seat, the higher the price. The back seats cost a million dollars each, while the front row seats could go up to over ten million dollars, with an average price of around three million dollars.
The private boxes were the most expensive, starting at one hundred million dollars and with the front ones going for three million dollars.
Just selling the seats could rake in billions in profit.
Sebastian didn't rush inside. Instead, he went to the auction's backstage to consign sitems. Despite his wealth, he never missed a chance to earn money, especially since he planned to bid on numerous items.
He was consigning sEssence Nourishing Pills and other pills he had created before setting off. He had three bottles of pills and one bottle of Essence Nourishing Pills.

After all, the view was the sfrom anywhere in the hall, thanks to the many screens set up. Everyone could see the auction stage clearly.
Meanwhile, multiple screens were set up in a security control room to display every corner of the auction hall.
"Mr. York, that's the bastard!" Maverick pointed at Sebastian an one of the screens, his eyes filled with rage. "He's Lana's fiancé." Next to Maverick stood a tall, handsyoung man with a grim expression, Flynn York.
"Lana always mentioned having a fiancé. I thought she was making it up, but it turns out she was being serious, Flynn said, his eyes filled with malice. "Are you just going to let him take Lana from you?" Maverick asked.
"Absolutely not!" Flynn snarled, his face twisted with fury. Lana belongs tome. Anyone who tries to take her En.
