Chapter 954 Charmine's heart raced wildly against her will.
If Anthony recognized her and found out about her task, he would surely step in to help her. By then, the entire deal would be called off...
With that in mind, she tried her best to minimize her sense of presence and slowly walked backward.
Coincidentally, a rather rotund man as tall as 1.8 meters was there, and his physique was big enough like a wall.
Charmine managed to stand behind him.
With a group of men surrounding him, Anthony walked to the front of the display.
The men around him were of the upper-class, and they conversed in foreign languages.
With their presence, the noise from the crowd became softer than it was. After all, everyone respected these men, especially Anthony.
He was so good-looking that everyone could not avert their eyes from him. i After someone introduced the box and sword to him, Anthony frowned.
This sword belonged to the Cherny family. No wonder so many members of the Cherny family came to the expo.
To be fair, Charmine was a distant relative of theirs.
Should he help the Cherny family get this box?
By his side, the elder saw that Anthony did not speak, and he then said, almost proudly, "President Bailey seems interested. You seem to like this sword. Would you like to have it? Why not try to open it?"
Below the platform, Charmine was pretending to listen to music, but her eyes instantly turned toward them when she heard that.
If Anthony was involved and took the box away, the deal would be ruined!
Anthony seemed to have sensed a familiar gaze on him. He looked down at the crowd.
Terrified, Charmine instantly shifted her gaze back to the box just like everyone else.
When Anthony glanced around, he saw many people looking at the box, and many people were looking at him as well.
Behind a tall, fat man was a teenager with only half of his figure showing.
That figure seemed...
Just as he was about to look closer, the elder asked, "President, would you like to give it a try?"
Anthony was pulled back to reality. He took another glance at the teenager and did not find anything suspicious. He looked away, i Turning his gaze to the box, he took another look at the box before he replied in his deep voice, "Perhaps not."
Although he saw a way to open up this box, Charmine was not present in the expo, thus he could not open it.
The surrounding crowd could not help agreeing, "President Bailey is so humble. If even President Bailey can't open it, who else in the world can?"
"If itâs easily opened, this man wouldn't have brought it here, right?" said another playfully.
The elder laughed. 'Thatâs true. However, I believe someone must be better than me. Someone would be able to open it, so that I don't waste the effort of bringing this all the way here."
When Anthony heard that, he said to Luke beside him in a low voice, "Tell me when someone opens it."
He wanted to see who else in the world could open this box.
Luke answered, "Yes, Sir."
With other things to attend to, Anthony did not stay any longer as he eventually left with the men that came with him.
As he left, Anthony glanced around the crowd once more.
Charmine felt her heart jumping loudly. If it was not for her colored lenses, he could have seen her eyes flinching.
When she sensed that Anthony was looking at her, she tried her best to remain calm and collected.
Luckily, she was strong-willed. Although she panicked, she showed no emotions outwardly.
Anthony scanned past her and, upon noticing nothing out of the ordinary, left soon after.
After the men surrounding him had also left, the atmosphere finally eased.
Everyone continued to stare at the box; they all wanted to get the sword within it.
A few people gradually went ahead and paid ten million bucks in deposit. However, they all failed.
