American Comics: BOSS Invasion

Qi Shan didn't really care whether Polaris could complete the mission or not. His main goal was to bring the war to New York and, incidentally, bring the High Table into the sights of various forces.

The large-scale operation against the Sentinel Task Force last time, as well as the large number of corpses left across the United States recently, finally attracted the attention of most law enforcement agencies.

But a coin has two sides. The higher the ranking on the wanted list, the greater the reputation in the underworld.

Without a doubt, the unfamiliar name of the High Table has quietly spread throughout the streets. Anyone with even a slight connection to the underworld has been hearing this name a lot lately.

Consequently, the number of tasks in the dark web has rapidly increased, reaching hundreds of tasks every 24 hours.

In response, a large number of freelance killers have joined the High Table platform through various channels.

They are now amazed by the High Table's system, the comprehensiveness and professionalism of its internal suppliers, something they have never enjoyed before.

Within two months, the Continental Hotel system will be all over the world.

With such a network to support them, the job of a killer is much easier.

With Alice in control, given the speed of development of the world's internet technology, there will be no way to counteract it for at least 10 years.

The construction of the framework can be considered complete. Next, we need to attract a few powerful families to fill the positions of the main brain and further expand the influence of the High Table.

Atlanta, the downtown art museum, in a sparsely populated VIP room, guests are well-dressed and sitting upright.

An old man with white hair slowly walked up. He had a smile on his face, and the suit he wore was very fitting, obviously made of high-quality fabric. He had a straight back, a slender figure, and the old face gave him the stability of years of experience, giving people a good impression.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this secret auction! I am the senior auctioneer Earl Freddy."

The crowd applauded.

Old Freddy smiled and said, "Thank you for your applause. Most of you here are old friends, but I also see a few new faces. In order to smoothly complete the auction process, I will say a few more words and briefly introduce the meaning of the secret auction."

He spread out his palms and continued, "Since the 18th-century Industrial Revolution, science has developed rapidly, and all myths and religious beliefs have been repeatedly denied and even banned.

We once completely abandoned the myths that people had believed in for thousands of years. But as time goes by and science develops, humans today are no longer as arrogant as they were when they first emerged.

There are many inexplicable magical phenomena and magical items in the world, such as the pyramids. Although there are various speculations, scientists have not yet come up with a convincing guess.

I am a devout Catholic, but I have to say that I still have some doubts about the one God.

Because I have seen items from the Greek and Odin pantheons more than once. Although some magical phenomena are simple and meaningless, some are truly amazing!"

Freddy gestured, and two etiquette ladies in short skirts carefully carried a wooden frame, gently placing it on the auction table.

Freddy put on snow-white gloves, gently opened the wooden frame, took out a golden cup placed in the center, admiring it while exclaiming: "The Cup of Life! The artifact of Clytie, the goddess of life in Greek mythology.

As long as you pour pure water into the cup and slowly drink it, you can rejuvenate!"

There was a small commotion below, and many people's eyes lit up, but their good upbringing forced them to restrain the agitation in their hearts.

Freddy smiled and said, "That's right, when I first heard this introduction, I was just as surprised as you, and even wanted to laugh.

First of all, how is this possible? Are you kidding me? Although secret auctions will auction some strange things, there has never been a record of forgery.

The auction items I take out have been repeatedly confirmed before being sent up.

We dare to say that every item is real and credible. Now you take out a golden cup, although it is inlaid with many diamonds and looks both gorgeous and precious, but to say that it is the Cup of Life and can rejuvenate is a bit too much, right?"

The audience chuckled.

"But three minutes later, I was completely shocked, and I never had that thought again!" Freddy nodded seriously. He gently stroked the Cup of Life, saying with a slight sigh: "To be honest, I really don't want to auction it off. This is a unique artifact, a priceless treasure!

But who told me I'm just an auctioneer? We have no way to influence the owner's thoughts! Fortunately, after my repeated requests, the owner decided to give me the opportunity to conduct an on-site experiment. Here, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks!"

As Freddy spoke, he placed his right hand on his chest and bowed.

This posture, this sense of ceremony, caused another commotion among the audience below.

Although they had repeatedly confirmed before coming that the information sent by the secret auction was completely original and unedited video, they still couldn't believe their eyes.

Now, for the second experiment, no one wants to miss it.

At this time, an etiquette lady walked up with a glass of water. Freddy showed the golden cup to everyone, and then asked the etiquette lady to pour water into the cup.

On the big screen, the scene of the water slowly pouring into the cup was shown.

When the water level covered the emerald on the rim of the cup, Freddy held it to his mouth and said solemnly: "I am already 63 years old this year, and I have been working in the auction house for 29 years. All my identity information and address information will be open to customers tonight.

The guests of the secret auction will have one month to repeatedly confirm the effect. So..."

After saying that, he gestured and solemnly picked up the Cup of Life and slowly drank the water inside.

The audience's eyes widened, and many people took out their phones to record, not wanting to miss a single scene.

Just as Freddy put down the Cup of Life, his face actually regained its youth at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few seconds, he went from a 60-year-old little old man to a strong young man in his twenties or thirties.

The whole place was silent for a few seconds before suddenly erupting in a huge uproar!
