Chapter 1253: Chapter 1252: Hidden Killing Intent!
Under Lodovia’s guidance, several people arrived at the scene of the auction feast.
The auction feast was held on the sixth floor.
At the moment, the scene was arranged extremely luxuriously, apart from the lavish auction stage, there were also numerous seats arranged.
Of course, besides these seats, there were also some luxurious private boxes prepared at the venue.
All the private boxes were located on the second floor, from the balconies of the boxes, one could overlook the auction site and participate in the auction, which was very convenient.
"Mr. Ye, this way please!" With Ye Feng’s appearance, staff immediately greeted him and led Ye Feng to the private box on the second floor.
Characters like Ye Feng would naturally have a box, and it would be the best box.
Indeed, under the staff’s guidance, several people arrived in the best private box on the second floor.
The entire box was the largest and most luxurious.
At this moment, inside the box, there were many teas, pastries, cigars, and many edible and usable items placed.
"Mr. Ye, please rest here for a while, the auction will start soon." With a signal, the staff left the box.
For a while, only Ye Feng, Lodovia, and Apollo were left in the box.
"Take a seat and rest for a while!" Thus, with Ye Feng’s indication, Lodovia and Apollo sat down and began to enjoy themselves.
Since Lodovia became Ye Feng’s woman, she would prioritize Ye Feng in everything.
While Ye Feng sat down to rest, she performed her tea mastery and brewed a good pot of tea for Ye Feng.
"Not bad!" Ye Feng took a sip and felt it was quite good, much better than the tea brewed by ordinary people.
While drinking tea, Ye Feng noticed that Apollo was comprehending the Sword Technique, seeming very diligent.
Seeing this, Ye Feng began to give pointers.
After Ye Feng’s guidance, Apollo’s cultivation speed obviously improved a lot.
Indeed, with Ye Feng present, with Ye Feng’s guidance, ordinary people could achieve twice the result with half the effort, not to mention a gifted talent like Apollo.
As Apollo gradually got on track, Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction and headed to the balcony, waiting for the auction to start.
Meanwhile, Lodovia followed Ye Feng outside, doing her best to attend to Ye Feng.
Because Lodovia knew very well that without Ye Feng, without Ye Feng’s guidance, it wouldn’t be possible for her to have such strength; even if she worked hard her whole life, she couldn’t reach such heights.
Therefore, she was very grateful to Ye Feng and wanted to repay Ye Feng at all costs.
As Ye Feng waited, more and more people arrived.
Moreover, those who showed up were not ordinary figures; they were all wealthy and powerful elites.
To be blunt, even the world’s richest person openly wouldn’t be qualified to be here because he lacks the prowess.
Even if his prowess were sufficient and his realm met the requirements, with his financial strength, he would only be at the tail end of the guests, being among the weakest in financial strength.
Many elites on the scene, though hidden well enough, had unfathomable wealth, each one richer than the world’s richest person on the surface.
Take Ye Feng for instance, although he always attempts to stay off the billionaire rankings, his wealth surpasses that of other billionaires combined, and his earnings every single minute are something others cannot imagine.
And this is just the elites in the great hall; there are many more fearsome elites in the private boxes.
This time, the auction feast has attracted many elites from around the world; Ye Feng indeed caught the right moment.
Just when Ye Feng wasn’t paying attention, a few elderly figures appeared at the venue and occupied a very good private box.
Ye Feng’s position was the best in the number one box.
And, besides number one, number two was the finest. A certain elder entered box number two and asked the person beside him, "Are you sure the person who uncovered the Top Grade Celestial Spirit Stone is in box number one?"
"That’s right, ancestor! He is likely to participate in the auction, and the raw stone he fancies will surely be the best." Hearing the elder’s words, the person beside him hurriedly nodded and answered truthfully.
"That’s good! We need to keep an eye not only on the raw stone he fancies but also on him, to prevent him from escaping with the Celestial Spirit Stone." The elder nodded, hinting seriously.
"Yes, ancestor." Under his command, the person beside him quickly passed down the orders.
Obviously, this elder was targeting Ye Feng.
No... More accurately, this elder was aiming at the Celestial Spirit Stone in Ye Feng’s hand.
...
Moreover, aside from this elder, other private boxes also mentioned Ye Feng and the number one box more or less.
"Are you sure that kid entered the number one box?"
"That’s right! I saw him go in with my own eyes."
"Then good, keep a tight watch on him; if he disappears, I’ll hold you accountable."
"Don’t worry, ancestor! It’s all on me."
...
"Ancestor, you’re finally here, is everything ready?"
"Naturally; as long as he leaves Gambling Stone Street, I can take his life, and then all the Celestial Spirit Stones on him will be ours."
"Then I’m relieved, but... I sense that many forces are eyeing him; this time there will surely be a chaotic battle."
"Indeed! I feel it too. Those daring to make a move on him are probably some old friends; it’s time to meet them."
...
Wave after wave of people were set on Ye Feng, wanting to snatch the Celestial Spirit Stone from his hands.
And if it weren’t for participating in the raw stone auction, if there wasn’t a chance to extract more Celestial Spirit Stones, they would have already acted against Ye Feng.
Originally, they intended to take direct action, but thinking ahead to the upcoming raw stone auction feast and considering the possibility of Ye Feng extracting more Celestial Spirit Stones, their hearts were instantly moved.
Indeed, if they could get a few more Celestial Spirit Stones, it would be a guaranteed profit for them.
Because whether it’s stealing raw stones from Ye Feng, or snatching them from Ye Feng after he buys them, it would be a win for them.
So, they held back, waiting for the auction feast to end before acting against Ye Feng to seize the Celestial Spirit Stone on him.
For a time, undercurrents surged within the auction venue, forces targeting Ye Feng were hidden everywhere, ready to strike at any moment.
...
And just at this time, the auction feast officially began.
Since everyone present was an elite, each one was someone Henry and others couldn’t afford to offend.
Thus, Henry went on stage to give thanks at the opening, and amidst his gratitude, the auction feast officially began.
With the start of the auction feast, an elder took the stage; this guy was the most famous auction master in the industry, once creating the highest auction record. Wherever he was, a purchase frenzy was inevitable...
