The woman stared blankly for a moment before a surprised look appeared on her face. She originally thought that Tan Xiu was only a security guard of the Genesis Auction House due to his young age. She didn't expect that he turned out to be the owner of the auction house.
He's not simple at all.
The thought flashed in the woman's mind. She immediately bowed slightly and said, "Since Boss Tang personally came forward, then I won't bicker with this little wolf cub. Anyways, may I have the honor to invite you to dinner tonight, Boss Tang? "
In a flash.
Angelo's complexion changed and a bit of humiliation finally appeared in his eyes. He growled in a low voice, "Senya …"
The gorgeous woman indifferently glanced at Angelo and lightly said, "It's a great honor to have dinner with Boss Tang. You can go back to sleep if you don't feel good about it. "
"What do you mean?" Angelo angrily asked.
Tan Xiu secretly shook his head and raised his hand. "You two, forget it! I still have something to do tonight, so I'm afraid I can't accompany you to dinner. Both of you, if you're done registering, you may leave. "
Having said that …
Intense killing intent flashed in his eyes in an instant, and he said in a deep voice, "The rules of the Genesis Auction House state that no one is allowed to fight or cause trouble here. Otherwise, it's equivalent to going against the Genesis Auction House. No one can afford the consequences." "That's right.
The short-lived storm ended after Tan Xiu revealed his strength, but the matter spread at an extremely fast speed. In just a few hours, all the rich and powerful people from all over the world knew about it. Therefore, many rich and powerful people began to send people to investigate and finally determined that the owner of the Genesis Auction House was the owner of the Magnificent Tang Corporation … Tan Xiu.
Even the news that Tan Xiu was a cultivator also spread out. Following that, wealthy people from all over the world sent invitations to Tan Xiu one after another, hoping to invite Tan Xiu to dine with them. It could be said that their intentions were obvious. Their purpose was nothing more than to befriend Tan Xiu. It would be best if they could obtain more benefits from this auction.
After rejecting all of them, Tan Xiu didn't even return to the Bluestar Villa Complex. Instead, he squatted in the Genesis Auction House every day. In addition to cultivating, he also took advantage of the last few days to craft several exquisite gadgets. These gadgets were almost all accessories, and they were of no help to a cultivator in improving their strength. However, they had some effect in combat, and that was defense.
December 1st.
At six o 'clock in the morning, when Tan Xiu appeared on the roof of the Genesis Auction House, Ji Chimei was already standing there quietly, quietly watching the flow of people at the entrance.
More than 2,400 people.
Every registered tycoon could only bring one underling, which meant that there were more than 4,800 people participating in the auction. Because the auction hall was very large, it could accommodate five to six thousand people. Therefore, the number of people participating in the auction was acceptable.
"Lord, is it time to open the door?"
Ji Chimei turned around and asked.
"It's time to open the door." Tan Xiu nodded and said, "But this auction is very important, so I need you to use your spiritual sense to observe who brings weapons here without permission."
"I've used my spiritual sense to observe. Most of these people are armed, and a small number of them are carrying magic treasures," said Ji Chimei. "I'm afraid it will be troublesome if they are prohibited from bringing weapons into the auction hall."
Tan Xiu thought for a while and immediately forced a smile. "Since there's no way to ban them all, then forget it. If anyone dares to make trouble in the auction, just kill them directly. "
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone, dialed Hao Lei's number, and said, "Open the door and verify their identity. Then let everyone enter the auction hall according to their number plate. Do remember to seriously tell them that anyone who doesn't sit according to their number plate will be expelled from the auction hall once found out. "
"Understood!"
Hao Lei replied. After hanging up the phone, she quickly appeared at the auction house's entrance. As dozens of strong men took control of the scene, Hao Lei said in a deep voice, "Everyone, we'll verify the number plate you received when you registered. Once you pass the verification, you can enter the auction hall. Also, please take your seat according to your number plate. If anyone sits in someone else's seat, our staff will find out and expel them from the auction hall. "
Two hours later.
More than 4,800 people entered the auction hall in an orderly manner. Spacious sofas were placed in rows, with small wooden cabinets between each sofa with drinks, fruits, and snacks placed on them. At the innermost side was a two-meter-high, 100-square-meter auction stage. Behind the auction stage was a huge projector that played the advertisements of the Magnificent Tang Corporation and Grand Fortune Jewelry.
At 8 o 'clock sharp.
Higgert, the gold medal host invited by Hao Lei and Ouyang Lulu from the M Country's Red Spider Auction House in Las Vegas, boarded the auction stage with a smile. He had blond hair, blue eyes, and a tall and straight figure. His suit made him look very handsome.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the mysterious and beautiful ancient country of the East, China. Welcome to the Pearl of the East, Shanghai. Finally, I would like to welcome everyone to the first auction of our Genesis Auction House. I'm Higgert, and I'm the gold medal host of the Genesis Auction House from today onward. I'll also be the host of this auction. "
"I'm really excited at this moment. I've never hosted such a grand auction before, nor have I been watched by so many super-rich people from all over the world. Fortunately, the items being auctioned at the Genesis Auction House gave me enough confidence. Otherwise, I would have to maintain a bowing posture while talking to all the big shots. "
The simple opening remarks were humorous and witty, and it quickly won the favor of many people. Shortly after, Higgert announced the official start of the auction.
"The first auction item is a set of precious jewelry. Aside from being beautiful, this set of jewelry also has another function, one that even I'm not familiar with — defense. According to the client's instructions, any guest who wears this set of jewelry can resist a full blow from a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. However, the effect can only be used three times in the face of that level of attack. After three times, the set of jewelry will be scrapped. Therefore, having this set of jewelry is equivalent to having three more lives. The base price is 1 billion USD. Each bid increment must be no less than 50 million USD. The bidding begins now. " Higgert turned to look at the beautiful staff next to him. The moment he lifted the tray, a set of exquisite jewelry appeared on the projector screen.
"Hua …"
At least one-third of the guests in the entire auction venue burst into an uproar. Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that the first item to be auctioned in the first auction of the Genesis Auction House would be a magical weapon refined by a martial cultivator.
It was a defensive type of jewelry.
Higgert was very satisfied with the reaction of the guests. In order to auction this set of jewelry at a high price, he once again said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, even if you don't need this set of exquisite defensive jewelry, you can still give it to the people you care about the most, such as your wife or your children. Today's society is full of danger everywhere. I think many of you should have seen a movie called Final Destination. Danger and death may be shrouding us all the time. If you want to avoid danger again and again and live a safe and sound life, then please start the bidding! Each bid increment must be at least 50 million USD. "
"2 billion USD."
In the audience, a Caucasian man grabbed the loudspeaker and said loudly. His eyes didn't look at the host, Higgert, nor did he look at the people around him. Instead, he stared at the projector screen and watched the set of hand gestures.
"2.1 billion USD."
"2.2 billion USD."
"20 …"
Although the first bidder was a Caucasian man who directly doubled the price, it still didn't stop the other bidders' impulse. Many people were well aware that Higgert was right. Having such a set of defensive magic weapons was definitely equivalent to having three more lives.
The price soared all the way up. The soaring speed made the host, Higgert, dumbfounded. His heartbeat was even faster and fiercer than when he hosted the first auction.
"4 billion USD."
A loud shout came from the spectator seats. The one who made the bid was an old man with a head full of white hair and a walking stick in his hand.
Higgert's scalp went somewhat numb. He had hosted hundreds of auctions in the past. Sometimes, the amount of auction funds could exceed 4 billion USD. However, that was the normal auction funds! What was 4 billion USD now? Was it the price of the first auction item?
The white-haired old man got up and held the loudspeaker in his other hand as he asked, "Mr. Host, since no one else is bidding against me, can you announce that this set of jewelry belongs to me now?"
Higgert was as though he just woke up from a dream and hurriedly said, "Sir, I'm afraid you might laugh at me, but I'm really shocked by your generosity. That's why I lost my composure a bit. I hope you won't laugh at a poor man like me who has never seen much money. 4 billion USD. I now announce that this set of jewelry belongs to you. Please send someone to the backstage to carry out the transaction. "
The old man let out a faint smile. After sitting down, he nodded to a man next to him.
Higgert calmed himself down and then said, "The second auction item is a divine weapon. It's said that this divine weapon has once slain a fierce beast and split a several-hundred-meter-high mountain. Although I feel that these rumors are somewhat exaggerated, the client told me so, so I can only tell you that the base price is 500 million USD. That's right, the client also said that this Godly Spear is a magic treasure, a very powerful magic treasure. "
