Under Ferdinand's nervous gaze, the man in black robes walked out of the hall and came to the door. The moment he opened the door, a series of banging sounds rang out incessantly.
He looked over with a frown and saw five or six men repairing the entire corridor. He nodded, closed the door, and turned to shout in the direction of the leader in black robes, "Sir, it's fine. Someone is repairing the wall over there."
Ferdinand let out a breath and thought to himself, 'Thank goodness I've made arrangements.'
The leader in black robes asked, "Why? Aren't you going out to host the work?"
Ferdinand said, "No, my job today is to receive everyone here. He pointed to a room at the top of the hall and said," Everyone's private room is there. This time around, it's a secret auction, and all the buyers will stay in their own rooms. No one will know your identities. "
Other than the seats on the ground, there were also many rooms at the side that looked like spectators' stands. They surrounded the hall. It was easy for the people inside to see outside, but it was not easy for the people outside to see inside.
The leader in black robes nodded and headed for the room.
On the other side, the buyers who were participating in this secret auction were led by attendants to the hall on the second floor.
Fang Xingjian stood in the dark while Robert said to a man wearing a golden mask, "That's him, Bruno. He's probably the winner of this auction."
Fang Xingjian nodded and looked in the direction of the first floor.
'I hope that everything goes well.'
The two auctions on the first and second floors were held at the same time.
On the first floor, only the seller in black robes was real. The others were all Ferdinand's Death Warriors. Some were acting as attendants, while others were hiding in the private rooms, preparing to call out the bids.
On the second floor, all the real buyers, including Bruno, had arrived. The only one missing was the real seller.
In the auction hall on the first floor, a host walked up and started to say, "Welcome, everyone. Compared to the jokes I usually say at the beginning, I'm sure everyone is more concerned about the auction item." Then, without further ado, I'll introduce today's auction item. It's a level 25 Conferred Knight's parietal bone. It can help the user to sense Heaven's Perception, and it's rented for a total of six hours. "There's no need to elaborate on the effects. Any expert who has the ambition to become a Conferred Knight will not miss out on this opportunity. Six hours of usage is sufficient for you to completely experience the feeling of Heaven's Perception. There's even hope for him to achieve a breakthrough and attain the true Heaven's Perception. This means that he has passed the Regional Selection even before it has started. "
The host on the stage said provocative words, but the people pretending to be buyers below the stage naturally did not have any reaction.
Only the leader of the black-robed men with the skull nodded slightly. He felt that this host was not bad.
…
In the auction house on the second floor, another host walked up and began to say, "Welcome, everyone. Compared to my usual opening joke, I'm sure everyone is more concerned about the auction item. So, without further ado, let me introduce today's auction item …"
However, just as he was halfway through his sentence, an angry shout was heard.
"Shut up. Who here doesn't know about this thing? Just start the auction."
"Hehe, that's right. Let's start the auction."
The host didn't seem to have received so many jeers before. In an instant, he was at a loss of what to do.
Fang Xingjian watched from a dark corner and said to Robert, "Let him start right away. It'll make up for the time difference. This way, we can hurry up. "
With that, he headed for the door. "I'll go make some preparations."
In a private room on the second floor, Bruno, who had taken off his golden mask the moment he entered, sat down boldly. He looked at the host on the stage who was about to start the auction and said coldly, "Directly bid 25,000."
"What?" The servants were stunned.
Bruno said coldly, "Just bid twenty-five thousand later."
"This time around, I'm determined to get it."
The host received his instructions and said, "Since there's no need for introductions, we'll start right away. The starting bid for this auction is one thousand gold. Each bid must not be lower than one hundred gold."
Almost at the same time as the host finished speaking, a bid rang out from Bruno's private room, "25000 gold."
At the same time, Bruno's voice rang out, "I'm sorry, everyone. I really need this piece of skull. Please give me some face. I'll definitely thank you handsomely in the future."
Hearing the bid of 25000 gold, all the buyers in the private rooms frowned.
In another private room, Rota's pretty face furrowed. She was wearing white training clothes today. The white clothes matched well with her delicate skin, making her look especially pure and adorable.
Hearing the bid of 25000 gold, Rota said angrily, "This Bruno … Damn it. With his talent, it'll be a waste for him to get it."
Next to Rota, an elderly man with a strong physique who was sitting on a chair like a black bear smiled and said, "He'd rather not succeed so that none of you can get it. "Moreover, this Bruno guy is really rich. We can't compare to him. "
"Father, then what should we do?" Rota asked, "28000 gold is all the liquid funds we can bring out. However, we'll probably still be surpassed by him."
Rota's father laughed and said, "Little Rota, why don't you marry Bruno and earn all of their assets? Their skulls would be nothing to you."
"Lord Father," Rota looked at her father solemnly and said, "Please don't joke around."
The elderly man felt a little awkward being stared at by his daughter. He rubbed his head and said, "Haha, then let's increase the bid as well."
"26000 gold!"
"26000 gold!" The auctioneer shouted in astonishment, "The atmosphere has been very lively since the start of the auction. 25000 gold has been increased to 26000 gold. It's really an astonishing figure, but it also shows his value.
"26000 gold going once. Is there anyone else who wants to increase the bid?"
"27000 gold." Hamil, who was in the private room, calmly made another bid. Beside him, his younger brother said hesitantly, "Elder Brother, Father only gave us 25000 gold. Why did you make a bid of 27000 gold? What if we can't pay up? "
Seeing that his younger brother was so anxious that he was about to cry, Hamil said angrily, "I have my own stash as well. "Moreover, Lochte, why are you becoming more and more delicate? You don't have any manliness at all."
Lochte said, "I'm not a Knight. I'm not as fearless as you guys."
Hamil shook his head, "But it's still not good. It's too difficult to win against Bruno. "It's a pity that six hours is too short. If they were willing to lend me twelve hours, then I'd look for someone to join forces with me. Then, we'd be able to split it between us for six hours each."
Lochte said, "But even if others join forces, you still won't be able to win the bid."
Not long after Hamil and the others spoke, Bruno made another bid.
"30000 gold."
The charm of money was completely displayed. How much was 30000 gold? It was almost a quarter of Kirst Academy's budget for a year.
Now that it had been called out so casually by Bruno, it was as if a huge mountain was pressing down on everyone. Moreover, this huge mountain had a Conferred Knight backing it, making it impossible for them to blast it apart even if they wanted to.
"30000 gold going thrice."
"Deal!"
