###Chapter 452 Those Who Have To Wait At The End of Years – Part 6

Someone nodded off the stage.

The host continued to explain and promote the ordinary-looking box. "The significance of this box lies in the story it carries. This box looks particularly ordinary, but if you take a closer look at it, you will find that the material of this box is made of 100-year-old sandalwood timber. Now, if you want to find this kind of wood, you can't find it at all because it's extinct. Aside from that, the workmanship of this box and its appearance doesn't seem to be special! Who said that the outward appearance can be solely determined as valuable?"

With that, the host turned the other side of the box to the audience.

The audience was in an uproar while the host advertised. "When I hear everyone's voices, I can guess that everyone's reaction is the same as the box when I saw it. The wonderful thing about the design of this box is that no matter how you look at it from any direction, you will feel that the box can be opened with a lock, but once you look at it carefully, you will find that it cannot be opened with a lock at all."

"In fact, this is a Dragon and Phoenix box. This box on the stage is the only one out of two manufactured products. There is another box but where it is now is still unknown. So far, we don't know where it is. If you want to open this box, you should find the other one and merge the two to open the contents of the box."

"You see, I told you!" Kyle spoke excitedly.

Ivelle nodded and looked at the sandalwood box on the auction table. When she looked at it carefully, it was no different from the one her grandmother gave her.

But since it is a Dragon and Phoenix box, it must be different.

The host on the stage said. "The auction price of this sandalwood box starts at 2,000 dollars. If you are interested, you can start bidding."

In theory, the auction price was so low. Initially, there would be someone to bid on this, but after half a day, the auction price skyrocketed up to 100,000. If it continues, no one would be willing to pay for it.

She was a little confused and approached Kyle. "Why didn't anyone take interest in this box?"

Kyle lowered his voice and whispered. "It's easy to understand that this box is a Dragon and Phoenix box. They don't know if there's anything in it. If you want to open it, you have to find another box. If you can't find another box, it's almost meaningless to buy this now."

"But its collection value is very high. Even if you can't find another box, the material is still excellent. If you buy it and collect it, a hundred years later, it will still be expensive."

Moreover, compared with millions of things and hundreds of thousands of worth items that are auctioned a while ago, it wasn't that expensive.

Kyle smiled. "Many people know that this box belongs to the father of the Preston family. The father of the Preston family is very notable and regarded this box as precious. This box is now put up for auction by Samael to deceive. This thing will not be auctioned out. Samael does not have the guts and he knew that nobody would take interest in this."

As he spoke so highly of this Samael, Ivelle couldn't help but wonder. She looked around the auction site and couldn't help but say. "Why didn't this Samael in here?"

She raised her hand, pointed around, and said. "This room's every corner is embellished by surveillance the camera. Samael is probably watching everyone in the dark!"

She puckered her mouth and thought this guy was cunning.

As she looked at the box on the stage, Ivelle thought for a while. "Are you sure the Preston family won't shoot this thing?"

She shrugged. "I don't know."

"Well, at present, the auction of this sandalwood jade box is worth 450,000 dollars. Would anyone else like to buy it? 450,000 going once, 450,000 twice." The host opened his mouth and knocked on the fixed pile in front of him.

"1 million!" Someone opened his mouth that caused commotion and broke the quiet atmosphere.

The person who spoke was Felix. Ivelle was a little confused. She looked back at him incredulously and said. "Assistant Stewart, you!"

He looked at her and said solemnly. "Boss Astley wants to take the box back. Maybe in that way, he can open his wife's box."

She was stupefied but answered nonetheless. "Everything in that box belongs to my grandmother. I just want to see it. It doesn't matter if I can't open it. I just want to keep it all the time."

He smiled. "Miss Ivelle, Boss Astley wants you to know what's inside."

The host went on to say a hundred thousand times.

Kyle approached her and whispered. "It won't hurt to splurge 1 million dollars on this box. If both boxes are matched, the value will be even higher. Aside from that, it can be used as a family heirloom in the future."

When Ivelle thought about it, she also felt good. The box passed down to Ivelle by her grandma can't be opened. If this auctioned box can complement the one she has, it would also a good thing. Their market value would increase and be considered as a collectible value.

The host said the bidding price for the third time as he went to fix the pile. Ivelle thought that she could take this box back.

Unexpectedly, a sudden low voice sounded that shook their core. "10 million!"

For a while, the people at the auction began to make an uproar. The price he proposed by far exceeded the value of the box itself.

Felix frowned and was ready to continue and add. However, Ivelle stopped him and reprimanded him. "There's no need to add."

"It doesn't matter if the box can't be opened. If I want to open it, I'll just try it and talk with the auctioneer in private."

With her practical thoughts, Ivelle contemplated for a bit and concluded that it's not worth spending so much money on this box.

It is a little strange to watch the auction and she tried to find the person who has just called.

In the VIP area in the front row, Kyle whispered to her out of the blue. "He looks like an assistant. The protagonist and his boss haven't shown up yet!"

Ivelle looked at the man who raised the signboard. Written on it were the seven-digit numbers that corresponded to his bid. He wore a classic black suit, hair combed meticulously, and a face that looks a little serious.

She couldn't help but ask Kyle. "How can you tell that he is not the boss?"

'If he wasn't the real boss just like what Kyle proclaimed, how can have such a dignified temperament? It seems like he can be regarded as a successful person, and looks like the boss.' Swallowed up by the curiosity, Ivelle couldn't help but wonder.

Kyle looked at her, shook her head in dismay, and said. "This is why you are not in place. Ivelle, take a closer look at his taste in clothes. He wears big brands, and his clothes are worth at least millions of dollars. He looks really good and his wardrobe style is sophisticated."

At this point, she looked at Felix beside her. "Look at Felix. He earns one million a year. Do you think his clothes are less than one million?"

Ivelle frowned. "So, is it not enough to be equipped with millions of clothes?"

She leaned her forehead against her friend's ear and said. "I mean, this man and Felix are at the same level. They are much richer than ordinary people but not as wealthy as the real boss. Think carefully about the clothes Jordan wears. What does he usually look like?"

As Ivelle recalled her husband's style and brand of close, she realized that she failed to carefully look at Jordan's clothing brand. She can't help but say. "Jordan's clothes are generally customized. Besides, he wore the same color for many years. There seems to be nothing special."

Indeed, Jordan was always in his dark clothes that are similar to his aura. It's always black and he never changed the color.

'That's probably the reason why he's looking for someone to customize clothes for him.' It was as if Ivelle was suddenly enlightened.

She snapped. "Do you think customized ones are not as good as those from popular brands with big names? The clothes on them are already extremely expensive just for the designer to start construction. Besides, the designer does it himself. Ivelle, it's not just about the costly fabric. The designer often looks for the best tailors and embroidery to customize with. Its value cannot be measured. Also, the clothes on him are equivalent to being bought out. Designers cannot and would never privately give the design copyright of creation to others. That suffices to say, Jordan's customized clothes the only one in the world."
