Selena Kensington nodded.
After all, birds die for food, and n die for wealth.
The Gailo Family chose to stand in opposition to the Colombo Family, so they couldn’t bla the Colombo Family for seizing their territory directly.
And even auctioning it off on the spot at the auction.
It really is... giving no face to the Gailo Family at all.
anwhile, inside Room 4 on the second floor.
Four or five people stood in the room, surrounding a fair-haired, blue-eyed man with a frighteningly gloomy expression.
"Damn Alessio! He actually dares to put Gailo Island up for auction!"
The man speaking was Albert Gailo, the current struggling Family Head of the Gailo Family.
An older gentleman next to him said, "Calm down, Albert."
With the elder’s reminder, Albert cald down.
"Master Barlow, do you think Alessio knew we disguised ourselves and snuck in?!"
They entered this ti by intercepting soone else’s invitation and identity.
Albert naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to co under his real identity.
Little did they know, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Master Barlow hesitated for a mont, rembering the rumors about the young Gray King on the street, a bit wary of boasting.
If the other party had anticipated their infiltration from the start but never exposed them, then what awaited them...
Master Barlow dared not think further.
"Probably hasn’t discovered..."

anwhile, below, after the auctioneer called out the bidding price, bidding started below.
After all, everyone who boarded the ship today vaguely heard about the island’s forr family owners.
Gailo Island had been well-hidden by the Gailo Family, not even daring to overdevelop it.
Not only because of its advantageous and hard-to-find geographical location,
but because the island harbors scarce resources; if developed and claid as one’s territory, then... wouldn’t it bring huge profits?!
"Guest No. 5 on the first floor, bids 30 million US Dollars!"
"Guest No. 20 on the first floor, bids 50 million US Dollars!"
"Guest No. 33 on the first floor, bids 80 million US Dollars!"
"Guest No. 5 on the first floor, bids 100 million US Dollars!!!"
The island attracted many bidders, Selena Kensington listened as the numbers from the auctioneer grew larger, and the bidding wasn’t in the previous one million incrents.
But instead leaping by several million US Dollars.
And now, it was only those on the first floor bidding, with almost no movent from the second floor.
"Do you think anyone from the Gailo Family is among them?"
Selena asked.
Hughes chuckled and shook his head, "Dear cousin-in-law, maybe they’re in the room right next to us, who knows."
"..."
Selena glared at him, never saying anything nice!
However, she recalled the words Samuel Dalton had just said to her, telling her to stay in the room and not go out.
Does that an... the Gailo Family is really on the second floor...
Although before boarding, the Colombo Family had already confiscated all tallic devices, who knows if the Gailo Family has other ans...
Sterling Norwood smiled silently, "Don’t worry, I’m here."
Selena muttered, "I’m not worried, I just want to see."
Previously, when in Sylva, Selena wasn’t too worried, although she knew the situation now couldn’t compare.
But she couldn’t be that unlucky to run into the Gailo Family here, right?
Selena’s muttering wasn’t deliberately lowered, so both Sterling Norwood and Hughes heard it.
