Many of the people present gasped when they heard the sexy lady's bid.
The starting price was two million, yet she directly bid five times the price. Was this foreigner crazy or did her family print money?
However, some people also expressed their understanding. Foreigners would definitely want to buy these antiques back to their hometowns. It was the same logic as how people from Hua Xia would buy antiques from other countries back to Hua Xia.
Therefore, when they heard the foreign lady bid five times the price, no one dared to make a sound.
The people at the scene weren't fools. Although such an antique looked rare, if it was appraised accurately, its price wouldn't be too high.
However, many people were surprised by the sudden appearance of the foreign guests. These people were all unfamiliar faces, and no one knew why they would suddenly appear in the Liu family's banquet.
However, this situation put the auctioneer in a difficult position, because there wasn't a number plate on the western lady's table. This meant that the guests at this table weren't invited to participate in the auction. They were only here to watch. Therefore, when the lady finished her bid, the auctioneer didn't know what to say.
Liu Kangbai, who was sitting at a corner of the hall and watching the auction quietly, also revealed a surprised expression. He asked an assistant beside him, "Didn't that lady say that she's from the British Chamber of Commerce? Why is she still participating in the auction?"
The assistant answered nervously, "Yes, according to the information sent up, Miss Lilith is indeed one of the important members of the British Chamber of Commerce. She also seems to have the bloodline of the British royal family. As for why she suddenly participated in the auction, I'm also very surprised. "
"Hmph, you let the guests in without investigating clearly?" Liu Kangbai reprimanded unhappily. Then, he said, "Since it has started, quickly send a number plate up. We'll talk about other things after the auction ends."
"Yes," the assistant immediately ordered someone to send a number plate to the table of foreigners while sweating profusely.
Seeing that someone had come to the rescue, the auctioneer heaved a sigh of relief and shouted, "Guest number 137 bids ten million, ten million going once …"
Just when everyone thought that no one would be able to compete with these foreigners, Cai Ning, who had been quiet all this while, suddenly raised her number plate.
"Twelve million," Cai Ning's beautiful face was expressionless as she shouted sternly.
Many guests had a strange look on their faces as they looked at Cai Ning, who had suddenly interfered. Why would the unrelated Cai family participate in such an auction? Did that cup have some special meaning?
The Caucasian lady called Lilith smiled charmingly. The seductive charm of a Western woman made many men's eyes burn instantly.
"15 million."
As soon as she finished, Cai Ning immediately increased the price.
"18 million."
Under the gaze of everyone in the venue, this inconspicuous little cup was about to break through 20 million in the midst of the shouting of the two women!
Many of the collectors began to wonder if they had made a mistake in their judgment. Or were these two women crazy?
Yang Cheng frowned slightly. He could understand why the foreigners would pay a high price for the cup, but why would Cai Ning do that?
Could it be that Yellow Flame Iron Brigade was interested in the Holy Grail? But even if he was interested, how could it be so easy to obtain?
To those Europeans, the Holy Grail was related to the foundation of both parties. No matter who obtained it, it would have a huge impact on their strength. Why would they hand it over to the Easterners for safekeeping?!
If it wasn't handled properly, it would only become a hot potato. People who originally didn't want to fight with Yellow Flame Iron Brigade would target it, and they would fall into a situation where they were outnumbered.
However, Yang Cheng knew that it was useless to say such a thing. Although he didn't understand why Yellow Flame Iron Brigade would send Cai Ning into the venue to fight with the group of Caucasians, at the very least, Yellow Flame Iron Brigade had the intention to go against them.
How worrisome … Yang Cheng thought gloomily.
At this time, the bidding had reached its climax.
After Lilith called out the sky-high price of 25 million, Cai Ning still didn't back down and called out 27 million!
Lilith finally couldn't stay calm anymore. Like the others at the same table, she stared coldly at Cai Ning, who was sitting in front of her.
Cai Ning seemed to feel the stares from Lilith and the others. She turned around and glanced back at them without showing any weakness.
Lilith suddenly smiled meaningfully and stood up. Following that, the group of foreigners also stood up.
Under the surprised gazes of many people, the group of people filed out and left the venue directly, as if they had given up on the fight.
The auctioneer wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He was already stunned, and immediately shouted, "27 million once! Twenty-seven million twice! 27 million thrice!! Sold!!! Congratulations to the guest at table number 5!!! "
Just as the auctioneer finished shouting this, a loud, muffled sound traveled into the ears of everyone present!
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
The violent tremors caused the guests in the venue to panic. It was obviously the sound of high explosives exploding, or even like a missile bombing!
After the entire venue shook violently, most of the lights dimmed and went out, and the venue was plunged into darkness!
Women's screams and men's curses mixed together, and many bodyguards nervously started to seal off the entrances. However, it was too dark inside, and the situation was chaotic. The bodyguards were completely at a loss.
"Damn it! What's going on?! "
Liu Kangbai, who was sitting in the corner, stood up angrily when he felt the tremors. He didn't understand why there was such a sound, and he didn't know where the explosion happened either!
The alarm suddenly sounded, and the crimson red alarm light suddenly flickered in the venue. Obviously, it was an automatic backup power supply.
The situation was far worse than what Liu Kangbai and the guests had imagined. The auction that was going well just a moment ago suddenly turned into a horrifying situation.
"Reporting to the chairman! Something big happened! "
An assistant who received a call shouted, "I received a signal from the security team. Our auction house's storage room was blown up from the inside! Many items were destroyed by the explosion just now, and it's hard to estimate the exact loss! "
"What?!"
Liu Kangbai was exasperated. He suddenly realized that this was definitely a planned conspiracy, but he couldn't figure out why such a thing would happen.
"Quick, call the police! Call the police! All security personnel, search for the culprit! Quickly let the people from the auction house check what's lost! "Liu Kangbai commanded loudly.
While the hall was in a mess, Yang Chen's spirits were lifted.
Although the lights in the venue had been switched off, it didn't affect Yang Cheng's vision. Yang Cheng could easily see that Cai Ning was the first to execute her Qinggong. She leaped out of the venue when no one was paying attention.
Yang Cheng wasn't sure if the explosion was caused by the group of foreigners, but there was no doubt that there was a connection. Thinking that Yellow Flame Iron Brigade might start a war with them tonight, Yang Cheng felt a headache. If they wanted to die, it had nothing to do with him. However, if they suffered heavy losses, it would mean that the defense of Hua Xia would be a huge problem. He wouldn't be able to live in peace here, and many people around him would be in danger too.
Moreover, many people in the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade were friends with him. If he were to watch them die, he would have to be thick-skinned to continue living in this country.
No matter what, he couldn't just stand by and watch.
Yang Cheng noticed that although Lin Ruoxi was a little nervous, she was calm by nature and didn't scream or scream like other women. Instead, she was just paying attention to her surroundings.
Yang Cheng walked to her side and said, "I'm going out to take a look. You stay with the two from the Yuan family. If it gets too late, don't wait for me, I'll go back myself."
Lin Ruoxi was stunned. She didn't understand why Yang Cheng was going out to take a look. Just when she wanted to say something, she felt that Yang Cheng had already left her side.
The electrical system of the resort had already been paralyzed. There were scattered people and messy security teams everywhere.
In the dark, Yang Cheng quickly arrived outside the resort without any interference. His sharp senses captured a trace of cold air. It was a little familiar, but also a little strange.
He looked in a direction not far away. It was the forest behind the resort, which was blocked by a high metal fence.
It was late at night, and there weren't any stars or moon. The whole forest was shrouded in darkness, looking gloomy and mysterious.
Yang Cheng didn't hesitate anymore. He followed that trace of air, and when no one was paying attention, his body started to jump into the forest at a speed that was hard to catch.
Like a black shadow, he shuttled through the forest without any obstruction. In the blink of an eye, he was deep into the forest.
