Brad could not access any background information on Skylar.Skylar was at an untouchable height the Moodys could not dream of!In fact, Skylar possessed powers far beyond Bradâs imagination.Looking back, Brad realized Skylar had shown Strickland mercy by merely crippling his hands despite Stricklandâs repeated offense.Skylar could have taken out the entire Moody family if he wanted to.Brad knew better than to take revenge on Skylar.There was no way Brad was going to show any resentment toward Skylar.With a nod, Skylar took the inventory list and discussed the auction pieces with Yulia.âSkylar, do you know much about Old Mr. Shepardâs interest?âFlipping through the list, Yulia asked.Skylar shook his head. âIâm not too sure.âJust pick anything you think is nice. Itâs an honor to the old man that I agreed to have a drink with him.âHeâll treasure it even if you give him an art piece you find on the street.âBrad was speechless by Skylarâs statement.The old man Skylar referred to was Old Mr. Shepard, the head of the Four Great Families in Cloudtopia.Even Old Mr. Shepard was trying to get into Skylarâs good graces.It only confirmed Bradâs suspicion.For Skylar to think nothing of Old Mr.
Shepard, the man had power and connections beyond anybodyâs reach.Believing Skylar was full of hot air, Yulia irately uttered, âCan you take this more seriously? Iâm trying to have a decent conversation with you.âI think Old Mr. Shepard talked about a Fist Handbook when we met. Is he into martial arts?
âThe collection of nuts de cuerno looks fine to me. Itâll make a nice gift, and nuts are good for building bones and muscles.âSkylar nodded his head.He had no problems with Yuliaâs pick.Besides, Skylar had a quick look-through at the inventory, and only a few items stood out. The nut collection did not seem like a bad idea.The nuts de cuerno were collectible walnuts courtesy of mother nature. They were highly unusual and barely found in pairs.Nevertheless, there were six in this collection. Their equal sizes were of a great rarity too.It would make quite a gift for Old Mr. Shepard.While the couple was talking, the host came up on stage and began the auction.The first eight auction pieces were art displays and jewelry that ranged between tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. There was nothing that went beyond the million-dollar mark.The auction today was not on a higher scale.Since Skylar and Yulia were waiting for the nut collection, they did not raise their bidding card once.Sitting a row behind, Yvonne and Nolan saw nothing that caught their eye.They only came to the auction so as not to be outdone by Skylar and Yulia at Old Mr. Sueâs birthday celebration tomorrow.Hence, they were after a unique piece.Anything with a bidding price in the range of hundreds of thousands was not something they would consider.It took a while before the nuts de cuerno were unveiled.âLadies and gentlemen, you wonât want to miss out on the next auction item. Feast your eyes and be mesmerized by its beauty!âThe host of the private auction ditched the formality to hype the crowd up.Everybody looked on with anticipation.
