Zhang Yan was waiting for the beginning of the auction in VIP room with a window.
The Auction Hall was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, but now, it still looked crowded with people. Zhang Yan roughly counted that there might be about a thousand people in the hall. No seat was arranged and everyone could only stand. The outsider people were still trying to squeeze in, which forced the Auction House to close the door without any other solutions.
For a time, noises swept across the big hall, for everybody was talking about the Life Stone, eager to see how much would it valued. Under the light of the center of the hall, a lady in a red tight cheongsam was using her sweet voice to introduce the auction and the general information of the item to be auctioned.
However, the impatience of everyone was aroused by the tediously long introduction, they shouting, "These information is already known to all! Just begin the auction right now! We don't need your introduction!"
"Yes, hurry up!" echoed the others.
……
The lady had obviously experienced a lot of such happenings and still continued her introduction at her own pace, ignoring the complaints like a robot. As the lights in the VIP rooms lit up one by one, the old manager began to go to the stage and announced, "Don't be edge, everyone! The auction is going to start."
A burst of hurrah overwhelmed the hall.
In everyone's expectation, the beautiful lady came to the stage with a tray covered by a red cloth in her hand. The old manager unveiled the cloth, revealing the auction item－a dark dagger. Zhang Yan couldn't tell its material from afar, but it looked very beautiful.
The old manager recommended with a smile, "This is a lower treasure made of the Anti-Soul Stone, which could suppress the ghosts in the Huangquan Road in a certain degree, also a self-defense weapon. Its starting price is ten thousand upper spiritual stones and each bid should increase at least one hundred. Now the auction begins!"
"Ten thousand and one hundred!" Someone in the back row raised hand and shouted.
The people in the front row were some people with strong background, and among them, somebody looked back in contempt and raised his hand, "Eleven thousand!"
"Eleven thousand?" Everyone was wondering surprisingly who was the rich guy. It turned out to be a young man gorgeous in dress with a relaxed expression, staring at the beauty on the stage.
"He's Mr. Liu. No wonder so generous."
The Family Liu held a great reputation and force in the town, so these non-background warriors had no nerve to provoke the Mr. Liu who was famous for his lust. Now, no one dared to bid against him simply for a dagger.
Since then, the old manager knocked the desk before him with a hammer, announcing, "Deal at the price of eleven thousand upper spiritual stones! Congratulations to Mr. Liu!"
The beautiful lady began to walked to the Mr. Liu, gently twisting her gracefully slim body, with the tray in her hand and handed the dagger to him smilingly. The latter took the opportunity to touch her soft jade-like hand when he took the dagger. She tried to retreat her hand immediately in shock, but he tightly grabbed it and flirted, "Don't hurry to leave! You are getting more and more beautiful, Yuer! I bought this dagger especially for you. Keep it!"
