For this auction to expand its international influence, the items being sold were all of high quality. Although most of the items being auctioned had relevant certificates and the signatures of professors, the buyers were all rich people. Obviously, they didn't trust things like "beasts" and "certificates". Almost everyone invited the relevant professional appraisal experts to carefully check the authenticity of the items before raising their bids.
Sheyan was not interested in other items, to him who had experienced the wonders of the nightmare realm, money in the real world had completely lost its allure. After waiting for a while, the item Sheyan wanted finally appeared. "Maotai 1950 pulp pulp" These few words entered his ears, it was like heavenly music to his ears. Only now did he realize that the auctioneer's butt was very round, and her chest was rather perky.
The packaging of this' Maotai 1950 pulp liquor 'was exquisite, but the jar was made of clay, it looked unremarkable. But when it appeared, it incited a fierce battle between dragons and tigers. Several people took turns to bid, raising the base price of this item from 2 million to over 10 million. Sheyan was eager to try, he really wanted to rush up and snatch a mouthful, but his innate ability 'Endurance' was unable to be used. Moreover, he could not bring out his equipment from the realm, if not there would be a high probability of success. But now, there was no need to take such a risk, it was best to stay low profile and leave low profile.
As the hammer fell heavily, the 2 bottles of wine were sold for a high price of 2.9 million Singapore dollars, equivalent to more than 14 million RMB. The two bottles of liquor were packaged on the spot, and directly delivered to the seller. Sheyan also remembered the fat sheep's name: Lee Sian Hai.
This was a 40 plus year old middle aged man, his two thick black eyebrows extended to his temples, giving off an extraordinary aura. Although he had just spent a huge sum of money that ordinary people would never be able to spend in their lifetime, he was still calm and collected. He casually placed the two bottles of liquor beside his feet, as though these two items were just appetizers, and the following was a gluttonous feast. The bodyguards sitting around him all straightened their backs. They looked like the kind of elites who had been through hundreds of battles in the army.
Following this, other than paying close attention to this Mr Lee Sian Hai, his mind was filled with thoughts on how to snatch a mouthful of wine and successfully escape. Time flew by quickly, suddenly he heard the host say:
"Next, we will begin the auction of the last treasure: Qianlong Jiude's Bell Seal. “
Even though Sheyan wasn't paying attention to it, he couldn't help but shudder when he heard the name. Firstly, this object was classified as a 'Royal Seal', it was obviously an object exclusively used by the royal family. No matter what kind of antique it was, as long as it was related to the imperial family, its value would definitely increase tenfold, let alone Qianlong, who was very famous in history. The two words' Nine Virtues' were not a compliment to the emperor, but rather a reference to the quality of this small seal. Because the highest grade of Yellow Field Stone had nine characteristics: fine, knotted, warm, moist, clean, tender, greasy, condensed, and spiritual, it was also called the Nine Virtues Stone. If the name of this treasure were to be translated into plain Chinese, it would be the seal that the Qianlong Emperor wore, carved out of the highest quality Tianhuang stone.
A buzzing sound could be heard in the auction hall, obviously the majority of the people present were here for this object. The preciousness of this small seal was needless to say, to the Singaporean aristocrats present, it had a special meaning. The current Southeast Asia was known as Southeast Asia, the majority of the Chinese had migrated over from Fujian and Guangdong. They all had a sort of 'Country Well Soil' plot, even if their ancestors couldn't be buried in their hometown, they would at least be buried in their hometown's soil.
Looking at the entire world, Yellow Field Stone was only produced in Fujian Shoushan, this allowed it to be a form of sustenance for their hometown. To these aristocrats, after purchasing this Qianlong Jiude's Bell Seal, whether it was to use it as a country well soil to curry favour with the elders of their family, or to keep it for themselves, it was an excellent item. Not only would it give them face, it would also allow them to flaunt their wealth and show off their inner qualities!
Following that, the rich invited experts to appraise its authenticity. Just by looking at the intoxicated expressions of these experts, Sheyan knew this object was definitely authentic. Lee Sian Hai, the middle aged man who bought the Maotai, also sat up straight. He very cultured and refined as he wiped his gold rimmed spectacles. His eyes revealed a trace of desire, obviously he was determined to obtain this item.
But at this moment, one of the 'experts' who went up to appraise suddenly bent over, pulling out a triangular bayonet from his trousers! This person's movements were extremely swift and nimble, one look and one could tell he had been tempered thousands of times between life and death. He stabbed the people around him one by one. This guy's movements were extremely fast, and the tri-edged bayonet's ability to draw blood was extremely strong. Immediately, a deep bloody hole appeared on the body of the person who was stabbed. Warm blood gushed out from the wound.
This' expert 'snatched away the box containing the Yellow Field Stone, and effortlessly stabbed another 3 baton-wielding guards. Just as he was about to turn the corner and charge into the room,' chi chi chi chi 'sounds could be heard, it was the concentrated gunshots with silencers. This person didn't even take 2-3 steps before his entire body was riddled with holes, directly collapsing to the ground. The blood flowing out from his body dyed the floor red!
It seemed like the patrolling guards in the hall were just decorations, the real guards were still hidden in the shadows, only revealing themselves when there was an emergency. One strike and then retreat! Silently, they pulled out their guns, opened fire, and then retracted them. Even if they had just killed someone, their expressions were as if nothing had happened. Even the people next to them would not be able to detect it. At present, Sheyan's five senses were much sharper than ordinary people (except for his spirit). Therefore, he could clearly see the position and appearance of the shooters. These shooters had different identities. Among them, there were bidders, TV reporters, and even cleaners. If they hadn't just killed someone, it would be hard to determine their identities.
But at this moment, Sheyan's pupils contracted slightly. Due to the death of someone, the hall was in a mess, and the guards were trying their best to maintain order. Yet there were already 7-8 individuals who had stealthily concealed themselves towards the exposed gunmen. That feeling was like a shark that had smelled blood in the sea and was quietly pouncing towards its prey.
This situation was extremely obvious. The initial person who snatched the imperial jade seal was shockingly a bait, his objective was to lure out the hidden guards!!!
At this moment, the few assassins had already neared the gunmen, they immediately pulled out their knives and struck viciously. The gunmen also struggled on the brink of death, and couldn't help but open fire. In a flash, an intense gunfight broke out, and the situation became even more chaotic. Screams, cries and shouts rose one after another. Instead, the people seated in the auction hall were divided into 5 distinct groups, with the central figure as the core. The bodyguards beside him extended their hands into the pockets of their suits, guarding extremely tightly and not panicking at all. Amongst them, Lee Sian Hai had the most bodyguards, and his defense was especially strong.
"Then, if I'm the mastermind behind the scenes ….." Sheyan's mind flashed with another thought. "Then the next step would be to clear out the remaining resistance in the hall! The bodyguards of these officials and nobles are all battle-hardened elites. They must be targets to be eliminated! "
Thinking of that, Sheyan immediately retreated a few steps and stood at the corner of the wall. His hands hugged his head as he pretended to be frightened, but his eyes were fixated on the surrounding movements of Lee Sian Hai. To him, the more chaotic the situation was the better. His objective was merely the two bottles of wine. Although the two bottles of wine were extraordinarily expensive, they were still rare treasures in this auction. Just that Qianlong Jiu De's Jade Bell Seal was already breathtaking. Don't even mention the Mi Fu landscape painting that was auctioned off previously. Those two bottles of wine would have been completely forgotten if not for those who paid attention to them.
Even though the hidden gunmen were skilled, they still couldn't withstand the sudden attack of the hidden enemies. Very quickly, they were chopped up like vegetables. However, the guards around those aristocrats and celebrities did not move at all. They guarded the targets they were supposed to protect tightly and would not be distracted by anything outside. At this time, it could be seen that they were indeed quite professional. They were definitely not something that those fledgling bodyguards could compare to.
Lee Sian Hai observed the chaotic scene, he realized that the Qianlong Jiu De's Jade Bell Seal that he was determined to obtain had disappeared. He frowned, bending down to pick up the bag of 'Maotai 1950 pulp liquor', softly saying.
"Let's go."
This person was of high status, but his footsteps were also quite vigorous. When he stood up and took a step, the bodyguards around him also took a step at the same time. Previously, these people had surrounded him into a huge square to protect him in the center. Now, when they moved, the square moved together, just like the soldiers demonstrating the formation of soldiers during the National Day celebration. They covered the bodyguards so tightly that not even the slightest flaw could be seen. Lee Sian Hai strode towards the corridor by the side, the bodyguards beside him also followed his footsteps, simultaneously walking towards the corridor.
Those who ambushed the bodyguards didn't obstruct them, they weren't relaxed at all. The bodyguards in the hall added up to at least 30 people, extremely professional. Although none of the bodyguards opened fire, but almost all of their attention was focused on them. As long as they made the slightest move, they would immediately be dismembered! (To be continued.)
