Chapter 263

Sienna’s eyes turned cold as she took the list from Lana. “They want to steal from me? Let’s see if they’ve got what it takes. Have Fay come back and deal with this; I need to handle other matters. Let’s head to the auction house now. News about the mineral discovery on the island might be leaked. We have to secure that island tonight.”

Lana stood at Sienna’s side, perfectly composed. “Boss, if you want the island, I can have them reserve it for you—keep it off the auction block tonight.”

Sienna waved her off. “No, I need to win it myself. I want to see who else dares to show up for this island.”

Umbra Organization was split into two divisions. The first was Shadow Division, a massive intelligence network that held the world’s most tangled secrets in its grasp. If they wanted to dig up information, there was nothing they couldn’t uncover.

The second was Blade Division, an international assassin organization. Practically every top killer in the world was from this organization.

Hearing Sienna say that, Lana immediately caught on. “Boss, you think someone leaked the news?”

Sienna nodded, her eyes sweeping over the men hauling away the bodies. “Lana, people always say no one can stay at the top forever, that everyone falls eventually. But I intend to be the one who proves them wrong. Anyone who even thinks about threatening me—I’ll turn every last one of them to dust. I hate traitors, which I think you all know.”

Sienna’s presence exploded, choking the air. Lana and the others dropped to their knees instantly, not even daring to breathe.

“Yes,” everyone replied.

Sienna stayed silent, turning to go. One of her men came forward, glancing at Elara’s body. “Boss, about her…”

Sienna scoffed, her tone light and dismissive. “Not even fifty cuts? How dull. Hack her up and toss her out.”

This was the world’s largest underground auction house. There was nothing this place didn’t have.

As Sienna walked into the auction hall, staff snapped to attention.

“Boss,” they said, falling back to either side, greeting Sienna.

Sienna said, “Let’s begin.”

Every item up for auction here went for sky-high prices, and only the elite could even get through the doors. When the bidding for the island began, there were over a hundred people in the running, but as the price soared to thirty million, only dozens of people were left standing.

“Bidder One at fifty million. Do I hear more?” the auctioneer called out.

“Sixty million.”

“Sixty-five million.”

“Seventy million.”

“Seventy-five million.”

The price shot up quickly, but fewer bids came in as people dropped out.

In the end, only one person was left competing with Sienna–the notorious crime lord in Sundara, Black Horse.

“Two hundred and fifty million,” Black Horse shouted, his voice booming with confidence.

Sienna calmly lifted her teacup, took a slow sip, and said, “Three hundred million.”

Black Horse stared daggers at Bidder One, his mind spinning. “Who the hell is in there? Wasn’t this info supposed to be for me alone?” he fumed, feeling completely played.

Black Horse knew this person was after something. No way someone was just burning cash for kicks.

Black Horse upped the bid by thirty thousand, but Sienna Hart didn’t even flinch–she just coolly called out, “Four hundred million.”

Black Horse wanted to raise again, but the auction staff reminded him his account was tapped out. Fuming, he could only slink away—waiting along the way to see just who’d messed with his plans.

The auctioneer said, “Next, we’ve got something a bit unusual for you all. Take a look.”

As he spoke, the curtain was yanked aside, and three cages made of solid gold were suddenly revealed. Inside were three people–two men and one woman.

“Three prime lots here, starting at two million each,” the auctioneer announced.

Sienna glanced over at the cages without thinking, but the moment she saw who was inside, her pupils contracted sharply. The teacup slipped from her fingers and hit the floor with a loud clatter as she shot to her feet, heart pounding.
