Unlike Ma Dong, who had gathered guests from the business world, the ones who had come over were all important members of the political world, as well as influential members of parliament from Tianjing City and the nearby large cities in the eastern region. The Assassin Family's business in Tianjing wasn't limited to Tianjing City. This was Teslan's trump card. Why did he want to make a move against the Ma Family? One of the core reasons was that they were overly limited to Tianjing City, which was extremely detrimental to the family's interests.
"The Ma Family has actually been completely defeated in terms of local influence." Many people were whispering to each other in discussion. The Assassin Family's actions had a very large impact on Tianjing's business world, causing quite a few people to pay attention to this matter.
"I had thought that the Ma Family, having operated in Tianjing for dozens of years, would at least have an advantage in terms of local connections compared to their opponents. Sigh …"
"The majority of those in the business world aren't willing to change their business partners. However, it's completely different for the government. Having dealings with a large family like the Assassin Family will be of great help to their political future. Looks like the Ma Family will definitely lose."
"What a pity. The reputation of the Ma Family father and son is pretty good."
Whispers rang out from the people present. There were also a portion who had come to join in the liveliness without any particular standpoint. It was very likely that good stuff would appear in this auction, so it was good to broaden their horizons.
"Oh, look over there. Where did that beauty come from? She seems to be someone from the Potter Family?" someone cried out in surprise.
"That seems to be the case. She looks slightly familiar. Could it be Laura?"
"That's impossible. Copperfield's little princess would come here?"
"It's really Laura! That's Sharmie from the Apollo Family!" There were quite a few youths who had followed their elders here to broaden their horizons. With a single glance, they were able to recognise the two peerless geniuses, the two great ball queens.
"There's also the Greene Family's Scarlet. Oh my god, who's that guy? He's actually able to walk together with these three great beauties. He's too lucky! "
The originally low hum outside the auction house had suddenly risen to a small climax. Regardless of where these three great beauties went, they would definitely become the focal point of attention. Even Teslan, who was currently receiving the dignitaries, could not help but feel his eyes burn.
He had already arranged to accompany Laura and the others over. Today, Wang Zhong was dressed very formally, appearing slightly handsome in a black suit. However, he appeared slightly marginalized in front of the three girls. Scarlet was the darling of Tianjing City, and knew quite a few people. There was no need to talk about Laura and Sharmie. For a moment, they had stolen the limelight, with even the important political figures from Teslan's faction shooting glances at them.
Of course, they weren't looking at the women's figures, but the backgrounds behind them.
The Green Family, the Apollo Family, and the Potter Family. Each one of them had a greater background than the last. Laura and Sharmie were even the charms of the younger generation, and could be considered as the leading figures of the Federation's younger generation. Yet, they had actually come together to support Ma Dong, causing Teslan to feel somewhat astonished. He could not help but shoot a glance at Ma Dong. Perhaps this fellow wasn't as weak as he had initially thought, and was extremely popular amongst the younger generation. If not for his uncle's help, he might not have been able to match up to Ma Dong.
Hmph … Teslan felt slightly jealous, though his heart quickly calmed down. Whether he was as strong as Ma Dong or not wasn't important. What was important was that he would definitely win today! Those truly great figures invited by his uncle had yet to arrive. Before them, be it Laura or Sharmie, they weren't even worth a mention. The winner was the king, and the loser was nothing more than a pile of shit, regardless of how strong or powerful the loser was!
The slight disadvantage he had felt in the previous situation had caused Ma Dong to feel slightly uneasy. The arrival of these four could be considered as a shot in the arm, causing him to hurriedly welcome them. He could casually greet Wang Zhong and Scarlet, but Ma Dong did not dare to neglect Laura and Sharmie.
"There's no need for you to greet us. I know you're busy today." said Wang Zhong with a chuckle. "Leave the task of protecting the flowers to me."
"Dream on." Milami teased. "Protecting three flowers by yourself. Your appetite is really big!"
"Slip of the tongue!" Wang Zhong wiped off his sweat. Milami had been following Ma Dong for a period of time, and her level of bickering had increased by leaps and bounds. "At best, I'm just a nanny. I'm absolutely qualified to be at your beck and call, serving tea and whatnot!"
"Is that so? Then I really want to taste the tea personally served by you, Wang Zhong. Let's go! "said Sharmie with a grin." Do your best, cousin! "
Milami was basically unable to influence the Apollo Family, as Sharmie was completely focused on the relationship between the two.
The Giant Axe Auction House was originally the largest auction house in Tianjing. Teslan had recently taken over the place and renovated it. After that, the Apollo Family had changed the location of their competition to this place, before carrying out another round of renovations. As of now, the Giant Axe Auction House could be said to be extremely luxurious.
"This place is pretty big. The best auction house in Copperfield City is probably at this level." Upon entering the auction house, Laura gave a high evaluation. With her eyesight and knowledge, the weight of her words was clearly on a completely different level compared to Wang Zhong's words.
"The Assassin Family's auction house is rather famous. I've participated in it once when I went to Saint Mongols. The standards are indeed very high." Sharmie agreed. "Only, I never imagined that Tianjing would make it so grand."
The entire auction house was built according to the strict standards of the old era. This was the pride of the Freedom Federation. They were the orthodox, and represented the human race. They had inherited everything from the past and maintained their bloodline. They weren't barbarians or monsters.
Right in front of them was a gigantic display stage. Other than the unchanging small stage for the auctioneer in the middle, there were all sorts of facilities for displaying different items. Below the display stage were rows of seats and small round tables. The entire hall was several thousand square meters in size, with a large number of Skylink screens hanging in the surroundings. All of the cameras were aimed at the auction stage, so as to prevent the people sitting at the back from being unable to clearly see the situation in front.
Wang Zhong, Laura and the others casually found a seat near the front and sat down. Quite a few people were immediately attracted to them.
"Haha, Miss Laura, long time no see." Currently, the most important person in the auction house was Speaker Rex. Everyone had to give him some face. Being from a city in the eastern region A, Rex had been to Copperfield City a few times in the past. Naturally, he knew this young lady from the largest family in Copperfield City. Now, he had actually taken the initiative to greet her. He couldn't act pretentiously. Laura's identity was no small matter. Although she was young, basic etiquette was still required. Naturally, Rex's action was also out of respect for the Potter Family.
Everyone knew what important government officials were like. In the eyes of businessmen or ordinary citizens, they were like wolves and tigers, wielding great power. However, in reality, most of them were just puppets and chess pieces in the hands of the various large families in the Federation. In the Federation, the truly powerful ones were still the large families.
"Laura from the Potter Family, one of the 10 Great Families. She's indeed strong. Even a random member of the younger generation would cause a figure like Speaker Rex to treat her with respect."
"That's not a random member of the younger generation. Recently, Laura has been in the limelight among the younger generation. Even in the Potter Family, she's a young lady that everyone treats as a treasure."
"Who are those people beside her?"
