Chapter 280 -56: The Explosive Opening Auction
Mu Fan, transformed into a breeze, swiftly weaved through the pedestrians; the exit wasn’t as crowded as the entrance.
A few tourists just felt a gust of wind rush by them, and then a figure had already appeared ahead.
After exiting, Mu Fan quickly spotted the landmark signs Ren Xiaowei had mentioned and followed his directions.
Fifty meters then a right turn, even the noisy crowd couldn’t hide the antique and grandiose sculpture of pure bronze in the distance!
A scale gleaming with a brass light stood there.
Then his gaze spread to either side.
...
e traveler!
“The interior has been thoroughly checked, it’s all tight. It’s 8:31 now, a minute ago these auction items were just entered into the temporary system. It’s a pity, my lord, your extraordinary abilities are unneeded here. There are two ‘Heart-locking Grass’ at this auction, according to the old fellow, we must get both as they are needed for the core of the War Armor. So, go forth, young man, your identity card has already been pre-registered.”
Go forth…
Pay me, and I will!
Mu Fan sarcastically thought to himself as he walked toward Star Curtain Auction House.
“Hello, please show your identity card.”
As he approached the entrance, Mu Fan was stopped by two men in black suits.
Mu Fan handed over his identity card, they scanned it.
“Hello, buyer number 173!”
The two men bowed and moved aside to let him pass through a security gate, it was clear Mu Fan wasn’t carrying any weapons or knives.
As for communication devices and jewelry, they were allowed inside the auction house.
Thus, Mu Fan finally officially entered the Star Curtain Auction House.
Underground?
A voluptuous waitress guided Mu Fan to golden floating stairs.
Then, she pressed the button.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
A marker for the fourth sub-level appeared.
The Star Curtain Auction House’s main hall was underground?
“Star Curtain Auction House usually selects the largest subterranean auction hall for general and varied items while luxury and other high-value items are generally auctioned in the five-story above-ground hall,” Lord Black explained timely and thoughtfully.
So that’s how it is.
Soon, with a ding, the floating stairs stopped, Mu Fan stepped out into a corridor that emitted a faint blue glow. Although it wasn’t the main venue, Mu Fan could already hear lively noises not far ahead, carried by the airflow.
“Hello, sir, please proceed forward and take your seat in the main hall according to your number tag,”
Two waitresses explained as they bowed to Mu Fan.
“There are also junior VIP rooms and senior VIP rooms at Star Curtain Auction House, and even two limited top-tier VIP rooms! Of course, none of this matters to you, as our funds wouldn’t even cover a third of the fee for a junior VIP room,” Lord Black ruthlessly doused Mu Fan with cold water.
“Currently, the temporary database does not have the order of item auctions. Really poor service from this auction house, keeping electronics at bay in a tech era!” Lord Black’s complaints made Mu Fan chuckle secretly, it seemed like Lord Black was having a hard time.
“Ouch~”
While communicating with Lord Black, as Mu Fan stepped into the corridor, something suddenly bumped into him from behind, and then, turning around, Mu Fan saw a girl rubbing her head.
After two seconds, when the girl looked up and noticed the figure that had turned around, her face instantly turned red and, in a voice as soft as a mosquito, she sheepishly apologized, “I’m sorry… I just came out and got tripped up.”
Mu Fan’s night vision allowed him to clearly see the girl’s face flushing with embarrassment and her light-white long lady’s trench coat.
Bright eyes and a delicate nose made her features even more exquisite.
Her long hair was tied at the back of her head with pretty botanical vines.
“Is this woman for sale, haha, I’ll buy no matter the price!”
“Like you’ve got the money. This is Beishan Xinyue from Star Curtain Auction House, her father is the vice-president of Star Curtain Consortium! The wealth of her family could buy your company with just a hair.”
“No way, an auction house this formidable?”
“I really shouldn’t have brought you here. There are more billionaires on Blue Capital Star than you can imagine, especially in Zhongjing City, the core of the fourth administrative district. Let’s just watch quietly.”
“No way, that hottie has fired me up, you have to take me to cool down later!”
“Alright, alright, I beg you to just watch for now.”
The low conversation between the two young masters did not escape Mu Fan’s ears.
“A perfect combination of innocence and allure. Beishan Xinyue really is a thorny rose from Star Curtain; every time I see her, I…”
“Randomly get hard…”
His companion nodded in agreement.
Mu Fan’s facial muscles twitched.
Was this really the right place for him?
Seat 173, following the sequence numbers on the ground, Mu Fan quickly found his seat in the seventh row.
oment!
“Dear guests, welcome to the Star Curtain Auction. Today is the monthly Big Star Region auction! Everything you want to buy is available here. I am your familiar auctioneer—Beishan Xinyue!”
“Isn’t the atmosphere lively enough, huh? Do you want it a bit more exciting?”
Her seductive and tempting red lips slightly parted, and her words brought the atmosphere to a peak!
