Inside the golden chairs, the guests quickly straightened their bodies after the little hammer was hammered. Their eyes were glued to the center of the stage, at the item under the light.
Following the appearance of the golden chairs and the golden stage, the frightened and dissatisfied guests had their curiosity piqued.
They knew the rules of the auction very well, they were eager to know what was under the red silk.
In any auction, in order to have a good start, the first item of the auction would definitely be the best of the whole auction.
It might even be second to the last item of the finale.
Under the eager gaze of the guests, Kairi lifted up the red silk.
"Oh! Oh my god! "
"What is that?"
"Look! What is that?"
After the gasps, exclamations sounded one after another.
A golden crown in the shape of a dragon with jewels embedded on it was emanating a dazzling radiance under the light.
If it was just gold and jewels, it wouldn't have astonished the guests with high social status. What astonished them was the crown itself.
"Is it Ai Little Plus Crown?"
"It looks like it, but …"
"Impossible!"
"How could it be Ai Little Plus Crown?!"
…
Discussions sounded.
Kairi, who was on the stage, hammered the wooden hammer in his hand.
Bang, Bang.
The unique hammering of the wooden hammer silenced the whole hall. Kairi stood under the light and looked around. When he saw the doubts, disbelief, and anticipation in the crowd, he couldn't help but show a smile.
Kairi felt an unknown excitement in his heart when he saw the crowd's expressions.
It was different from when he flaunted his prestige on the streets.
This kind of excitement was even more intense and deeper.
It was like waves of trembling * *, assaulting his nerves like a raging storm.
Kairi's face swiftly flushed red. The last bit of anxiety in his heart vanished at that very moment.
He became calm and collected.
No!
To be precise, he became rich and passionate.
"Everyone, please be quiet.
"I'm sure everyone is familiar with this crown. It's the legendary Artitelgar Crown. That's right, it really exists."
I don't have to elaborate on the legends about it.
"After all, everyone here should have heard about His Majesty."
"I also have great respect for His Majesty."
"So, you don't need to worry about its origins or being held accountable."
"It's here. Everything is legal and reasonable."
"And its price is definitely not an insult to His Majesty …"
"Ten million!"
"The starting price is 10 million!"
"Each increment must be no less than one million!"
Carey had found someone to write and recite these words.
However, it was different from his usual dry recitation.
At this moment, Carey's words were embellished with the excitement in his heart.
It was like pouring boiling oil into a basin of clear water.
All of a sudden, the entire venue exploded.
"Twenty million!"
"Thirty million!"
"40 million!"
…
In the eyes of ordinary people, unimaginable prices were shouted out one after another by these guests.
Soon, the battle reached its climax.
Kray stared at the scene with his mouth agape.
It wasn't that Klein, who had grown up on the streets, had never seen a business that made money. However, what he thought was a profitable business was nothing compared to the numbers that these people in front of him were saying.
"These guys are really, really …"
"This is crazy!"
Kray opened his mouth wide and after a while, he could only say the words that he could think of.
"Kray, you think they are crazy?"
"No, no!"
"They are calmer than ever."
"They are willing to pay such a high price because they know if they can get their hands on this item, they will get more in return."
"The kind that exceeds your imagination."
Kieran said with a smile.
"This item is very valuable?"
Kray asked out of instinct.
The moment the question escaped his mouth, the thug of the gang felt awkward.
Of course this item was valuable!
If it wasn't, how could it have such an effect?
But …
"Why is it so valuable?"
"Even if it is made of gold and embedded with jewels, it shouldn't be this valuable right?"
Kray's heart was filled with doubts.
Unlike Carey, who had been following Kieran for a long time, he had seen some special things.
For the past two days, Kray had been expanding his territory outside, so he didn't understand certain things.
"Because it's Ai Little Jia Guan."
Kieran replied calmly.
Kieran didn't give Kray any more answers, instead, he looked aside and said, "Am I right, Zackary?"
"Of course!"
"In Flame City, Ai Little Jia Guan represents everything."
"Wealth, power, and even …"
"Life!"
Zackary in his suit slowly walked out and answered Kray's doubts. Unfortunately, Kray didn't even listen because when Zackary spoke, Kray pulled out his gun and pointed it at him.
"Hey, Kray."
"It's not the first time we met."
"You don't have to be so nervous."
Zackary said without changing his smile.
His unique temperament would make one feel good about him but it wasn't enough for Kray to lower his gun.
Quite the opposite, Kray gripped his gun tighter.
Years of life and death battles had trained Kray's instincts to be quite sharp.
Zackary was dangerous!
He didn't show any signs of danger during the last meeting.
Kray's mind determined that he couldn't figure out the reason behind the sudden change but he knew what he should do to eliminate the danger.
"Sir Ethan Hunt, do you need to explain the working relationship between us to your men?"
"This kind of situation happens every time, I'm worried that one day I'll be killed by my own men by mistake!"
"If that happens, I think I won't be able to rest in peace."
Zackary laid his hands open and shrugged.
"Don't worry, you won't be killed by mistake."
"Kray, keep your gun and bring a chair for Zackary."
"Oh right.
"Give me a cigar."
Kieran ordered Kray.
"Yes, my lord."
Kray quickly moved out after receiving Kieran's order.
However, before he left, he glared at Zackary.
His glare was filled with warnings and threats.
"Not a bad man."
"Just that he's too weak."
Zackary commented on Kray after he left.
"The weak will grow stronger."
"The most important thing is loyalty — Kray's naivety allowed him to know what he should do. That's why I allowed him to stay by my side."
Kieran said.
"What about the other one?"
Zackary asked.
"You mean Kairi?"
"From a certain aspect, Kairi is more naive."
"Even though he looks smart, his nature is a one-track mind, different from those big shots like us who have received higher education."
"They understand respect."
Kieran then looked at Zackary.
"Respect, do you understand?"
"I used to."
"In the future …"
"I don't want to understand."
Zackary shrugged again and passed the box in his hand to Kieran.
"When is it scheduled?"
"Of course, the most crucial time — dawn."
Kieran looked at the box and replied in a casual manner.
"Dawn?"
"There's no sun or moon.
All that's left is darkness … "
"A very good time."
Zackary nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes."
"A very good time."
