Chapter 52 Auction Banquet
A car was parked outside a splendidly decorated building. Its cheapness was incompatible with the building.
"Are you sure taking Laura in is a wise choice?"
Caliban turned back from the driver's seat and glanced at Laura and Logan in the back seat, "She might make things worse. I mean, she's still young and inexperienced."
"Should I take you with me?"

Logan rolled his eyes at him. A white man with albinism would become the center of attention on any occasion. Compared with him, although Laura was smaller, at least she would not receive as much attention.
"Lola won't cause trouble. If it weren't for the invitation, I would rather go alone."
Logan took out a black invitation from his pocket. There was a silver cross imprinted on the cover. The workmanship looked very exquisite.
"Cross Auction Invitation" This is the invitation letter taken out from Notland's office yesterday. In addition to the invitation letter, the above requirements for participation also specifically indicate that two people must be traveling together, and the capital verification must be more than 200,000 US dollars. .
For this reason, he had to dress up Laura carefully so that she could participate in the auction with him.
As for the minimum capital verification of 200,000 yuan, it was relatively easy to solve. The money saved in the Lawrence family, plus the remuneration delivered by Gabriela before leaving, barely made up 200,000 yuan.
"Maybe Victor doesn't want us to save him. Taking huge risks will bring disaster to all of us, which will make him live with guilt forever."
Caliban looked at Logan, very opposed to this risky move.
"Shut up!"
Logan interrupted Caliban coldly, his voice unmistakable, "It's worth it for him."
"Hey, don't get excited."
Caliban spoke quickly and pressed his hands down to signal Logan not to be angry, "I was just talking casually. Besides, Victor may not be inside. He is a saber-toothed tiger. Who can catch him?"
Logan ignored Caliban and turned to adjust Laura's collar. The girl was wearing a brand new black suit and pink sunglasses. Her pink and jade-like appearance looked very lovely.
In order to participate in the auction, Logan bought new suits for himself and Laura. Although they were not as expensive as the exclusive custom-made suits, they were much better than the cheap suits they often wore before.
He whispered to Laura: "Don't be nervous later, you just need to follow me."
Laura nodded obediently, with a hint of expectation between her brows.
"Let's go."
Logan pushed the door open and got out of the car, and the two of them walked towards the magnificent building together.
Caliban in the car looked helplessly at the large and small figures, looking at the hundreds of meters high building, feeling a little worried in his heart.
If there was a conflict like this, it would be difficult to escape.
At the same time, Logan took Laura into the building and took the elevator to the cross auction site on the fourteenth floor.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Logan couldn't help but be amazed by the high-end banquet hall.
The entire banquet hall was decorated very high-end, and the soft colored lights shone in the banquet hall. It was not dazzling, but it filled the entire banquet hall with a relaxing visual sense.
A skilled pianist is playing soft notes on the stage. The soft music seems to cleanse the soul.
The buffet style pastries and delicacies on the table are exquisite products that ordinary people would not dare to dream of just in terms of presentation.
There were many people standing in the hall, holding wine glasses and chatting in low voices. They were elegant and polite, the men were full of gentlemen, and the women seemed to be palace princesses. I am afraid that except for Logan and Laura, the rest of the people were present. They are all wealthy businessmen who can directly affect the entire Nevada economy.
"Sir, what would you like to drink?"
The waiter in a tuxedo walked slowly over, nodded to Logan very politely, and asked softly.
"Brandy and juice."
Logan glanced at Laura beside him.
The waiter was not surprised at all because of Laura's age. After nodding respectfully, he went to serve two drinks to the two of them.
Logan held the wine glass and took Laura to find a seat to sit down.
Obviously, the banquet was just a formality, the highlight was the auction, so naturally no one cared about the exquisite food on the table.
However, Laura Kinney couldn't take care of so much. She had very little food to eat in the laboratory. After escaping, she lived a simple and simple life with Gabriela. How could she have seen so many delicious foods? ?
She tasted all the candies and snacks on the table without any politeness, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly in satisfaction.
"Mr. Notland, why are you here so late?"
A voice caught Logan's attention. He looked toward the door and saw Notland's figure walking out of the elevator.
He smiled and said to the old friend who was asking next to him: "Something has delayed me."
At the same time, he glanced at the banquet hall, but fortunately he did not recognize Logan.
This is normal, after all, Logan had no direct contact with him at the beginning, he just accompanied Victor at the door of his office.
Logan sat on the chair, paying close attention to Notlande's movements.
"What good things are you going to buy this time?"
Notland smiled and took a glass of red wine from the waiter, talking to his old friend in a low voice.
"It's hard to say. There are too many items in this auction, and they are all very attractive." The old friend replied softly.
After a pause, he looked at Notland with a smile, "What about you? I guess you must have something good that you have your eye on."
"No no no."
Notlande narrowed his eyes, smiled and shook his head at his old friend, "I've prepared a big surprise this time."
"Oh?" The old friend was a little curious.
Notlande pretended to be mysterious, drinking red wine and whispered: "You will know later, it will definitely open your eyes."
The old friend's curiosity was completely aroused, "You make me look forward to this auction even more."
Logan listened to the conversation between the two and frowned slightly.
At this time, the waiter came out. At the same time, the piano stopped playing and the colored lights turned off. The waiter held up the microphone and announced that the auction was about to begin. Those who participated in the auction went to the hall to get their numbers and needed to sit down according to their numbers.
Everyone in the venue began to move and walked towards the hall.
Logan got the 17th and 18th seats, which were relatively forward seats, and took Laura to choose a seat and sat down.
Just as he sat down, Notlande also held the number 16 plate and sat on Logan's left.
Logan just took a look and then retracted his gaze, not intending to pay attention.
However, Notland took the initiative to greet him enthusiastically, "Lance Notland, may I know your name, sir?"
"James Logan."
Logan had no choice but to force a smile in response.
"James..." Notland murmured in a low voice, and asked again with some curiosity: "What business is Mr. James in?"
Even if he didn't know all the wealthy businessmen in Las Vegas, he had heard of their names more or less, but Logan's name was really a bit unfamiliar.
"Logistics industry, rarely show up."
Logan made up a random lie, trying not to look at him straight in the face.
"Logistics business? Haven't heard of a family with the surname Logan in the logistics industry?"
Notland stared at Logan's face and suddenly said: "But you look a little familiar, have we met before?"
