C366 Start of Auction
C366 Start of Auction
In these auctions, not only would rich merchants be present, even Arts Cultivating Warlock would be present.
"The auction of Hong Kong Island is a lot more high-end." Guo Wenwen looked around.
Everyone stopped in front of the auction, Hee Sitong had just bought his entrance ticket, and Ye Kai said that he would wait a while before entering.
"What's wrong?"
"Waiting for someone." Ye Kai replied.
Just as Hee Sitong was about to ask who he was waiting for, a dignified young man and woman walked over. Although the man looked average, he was dressed in a famous suit, showing his identity, while the woman looked good, comparable to Deng Yuqi, just that her makeup was too thick, making her look a little tacky. However, a dress worth tens of thousands of yuan covered this point, making her look like a noble woman.
"These days are really different. All sorts of cats and dogs are coming to participate in the auction." The young man among the two clicked his tongue in disdain.
"That's right, Young Master Ji. Just by looking at their attire, you can tell that they're country bumpkins from the mainland." The woman promised.
Young Master Ji glanced at Ye Kai and the others, then laughed out loud and walked inside, without even needing to be addressed by the guards.
Hee Sitong's temper flared, and just as he was about to go up and argue with the crowd, he saw Master Huang getting off a carriage and walking straight towards them.
"Finished, don't tell me he is here for revenge?" Guo Wenwen hurriedly hid behind them.
"Don't worry, this is the auction house. No matter how capable Master Huang is, he would not dare to fight recklessly on this street." Hee Sitong said calmly.
Master Huang walked over quickly and stopped right in front of Ye Kai. He cupped his hands and bowed, went to discuss something with the guard at the door, and then came back and said: "Senior, I have already made it clear to the guard at the door that we can enter the inner court."
"Senior? The infield? "
Hee Sitong and the rest were confused, they could only follow Master Huang and enter.
"Master Huang, why do you call him senior? He's only seventeen. " Hee Sitong said carefully.
"Spells and martial arts are the same. The master is the master. The senior is much more skilled in spells than me, so he is naturally our senior."
After Master Huang finished speaking, he was still a bit cautious, and immediately introduced.
"This auction house is divided into the inner and outer court. If someone does not have some status in the Hong Kong Island, they can only enter the outer court. The items auctioned in the outer court are all very ordinary, and are no different from some small-scale auctions.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the Inner Sect area outside of the auction house, they saw a sturdy man blocking Ye Kai and the rest. He looked at Ye Kai with a pair of furious eyes and said with his arms crossed: "This is the inner area of the auction house, please show your identity."
"Please inform the President of the Auction House that Master of Arts Huang Tao and his friends are here to participate in the inner area auction."
In Hong Kong Island, this title was definitely not randomly called out, if he dared to pretend to be one, he could be beaten to death by those wealthy merchants at any time.
"Welcome, Master Huang."
As the sturdy man spoke, he was obviously giving the Master Huang face. As for Ye Kai and the rest who were following behind the Master Huang, he did not put them in his eyes. Just a few children, unless they had a great background, they were not qualified to enter the inner court.
Just as he entered the field, he heard many people bowing to Ye Kai and the rest.
"Master Huang is here too?"
"Master Huang, can you sit beside me and help me appraise this?"
Many people greeted Master Huang, and even a few rich young ladies gave Master Huang a flirtatious look, showing the prestige of Master Huang in Hong Kong Island.
"Yo, this group of brats really came in, and they actually followed the Master Huang." Although Young Master Ji, who was taunting at the door earlier, was surprised seeing Ye Kai and the rest, he did not think much of it.
"Who the hell is this Young Master Ji? He looks like he's worth twenty-five or eighty thousand yuan." Guo Wenwen complained in a low voice.
"He's one of the famous young masters of Hong Kong Island, as famous as that Young Master Xu. His family's status hasn't been too bad lately, and he seems to be suppressing the Xu family by even a little." Deng Yuqi explained.
Anyone who could attend this auction, especially those in the inner circle, was someone who was either wealthy or not, and was not someone to be trifled with.
Hee Sitong originally thought that his identity was mighty enough, but when he came to this Hong Kong Island area, he realized that there was more than a little difference in status.
In this land covered with gold, he was able to casually grab a bunch of young masters that were even more powerful than him.
"This auction is going to start from the lowest price one by one. The piece of paper that senior needs is rumored to be the work of a master. Although it is torn to pieces, it is still very valuable, especially the wealthy merchants who want to collect it one by one."
Before they started, Master Huang introduced them to Ye Kai and the others.
When the auction started, the first display item was pushed onto the stage.
"Welcome to the Hong Kong Island Auction, this is the first auction item."
Auctioneer went up on stage, and after a short introduction, she quickly pulled open the curtain, only to see a beautiful and exquisite jade hairpin lying there. The jade hairpin emitted a faint glow, which was extremely eye-catching, especially the young ladies, all of them went crazy for it when they saw the jade hairpin.
"Oh? As expected of the Hong Kong Island of the Warlocks of the world, even a single ornament has a little Magic Formation engraved upon it. "
It was true that Ye Kai's horizons had been broadened, and in the entire continent, it was extremely difficult for him to find a single civilian artifact, but in the Hong Kong Island, this kind of artifact was still the first to be sold.
"Jade hairpin is an imprint of a Master of Arts. It has the appearance of a beauty and the effects of youth. The starting price is two million.
Just as Auctioneer finished her sentence, someone raised a sign and shouted: "Three million!"
Suddenly, the price increased by one million, it was extremely eye-catching. Just as Hee Sitong wanted to raise the price to give it to Deng Yuqi, he subconsciously looked in that direction.
The person holding the card happened to be that Young Master Ji.
The young beauty in his arms laughed merrily, she suddenly looked at Hee Sitong and her eyes turned fierce, as if showing off proudly.
"Damn, do you really think I'm a country bumpkin with no money?"
Hee Sitong immediately raised his hand and called out: "Three million five hundred thousand!"
"4 million!" Young Master Ji said in a neither light nor heavy tone.
"On purpose?" Guo Wenwen pulled Hee Sitong, telling him not to be impulsive.
Deng Yuqi was neutral, if Hee Sitong wanted to gift this jade hairpin to him, that would be enough, it didn't matter if he bought it or not.
But at Hee Sitong's age, he had to fight for the right to be jealous in front of the girl he liked. How could he be willing to lose to Young Master Ji?
This time, the entire audience was shocked, some of the young ladies who wanted to raise their cards forgot to do so. This battle between two rich young masters was truly terrifying.
"Oh, so this continent's countryside bumpkin is quite rich. You dare to compete with me, Young Master Ji?"
Young Master Ji laughed coldly as he raised his hand once again. "Six million!"
"F * ck!" Hee Sitong clenched his teeth, he was in a dilemma now, holding onto the plate and not knowing whether to raise it or not.
Although he was a young master from one of the top five hundred companies in the world, he didn't have much money to transfer. He was close to the limit of transferring five million in a short period of time, so his father wouldn't be happy no matter how much more he sent.
After Ye Kai finished reading, he gently shook his head and threw out a Spiritual Strength, then rushed straight to the backstage of the auction.
At this moment, a Master of Arts was seated at the back of the stage. He was looking at his own auction item through the screen, and a smile was plastered on his face when he saw that he was called six million all the way.
Suddenly, his heart trembled as if he was struck by lightning. He looked around and his face turned pale as if he had seen a ghost.
"Master, what's wrong?" one of the assistants asked when he realized something was wrong.
"Nothing." Master of Arts didn't even have time to explain before he rushed out of the stage.
"..."
The surrounding people no longer had the intention to continue bidding against him.
"Ai, if you don't have money, don't learn to come to the auction. You're not able to bid even after being offered. You sure are shameful."
"Is that Miss Deng over there? How can she match a country bumpkin with such a young and beautiful girl? She's really a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung. Why don't you come over and sit with me? I can give you this jade hairpin as a friend."
Young Master Ji was arrogant, to actually ask Deng Yuqi out in front of him.
"You want to die?" Hee Sitong was so excited that his eyes turned red. If it wasn't for the security here, he would have rushed over to give Young Master Ji a punch.
"Why, are you unconvinced? A poor ghost cannot afford to be a beauty. If you have the ability, you can snatch this jade hairpin from me. " Young Master Ji acted as if he wanted to be beaten up as he mocked and ridiculed Hee Sitong.
"Six million going once, six million going twice!"
Auctioneer was already preparing to hammer.
Hee Sitong held onto the auction tablet, and when he was in a difficult situation, he saw an assistant hurriedly running over, and whispering a few words to Auctioneer.
Auctioneer's face turned ugly, but she still maintained her smile.
"What happened?" A wealthy merchant asked.
Auctioneer arranged her appearance, smiled and said: "I'm sorry everyone, just now the auctioneer of this item, namely that Master of Arts, changed his mind and said that he would not sell it."
"What?"
The entire audience was shocked, it was not impossible to do this, although there would be losses, but there would be. But now that he had been pushed to 6 million, it was already more than what he was worth, is Master of Arts retarded or something, is he going to cancel the auction?
The assistant brought a red plate up to the stage and carefully placed the jade hairpin inside. Then, he walked all the way down the stage.
"Oh? It seems like this should be the Master of Arts that I know. Seeing that I'm here, they decided to avoid taking my money and just gift it to me. "
When Young Master Ji finished reading, he laughed until Hee Sitong's face turned green.
The assistant walked over, and just as he was about to walk in front of Young Master Ji, he suddenly turned and handed the tray over to Hee Sitong.
"Sir, the Grand Master personally said that he would give you this jade hairpin as a gift and treat it as a friend." The assistant said respectfully to Hee Sitong.
"What?"
The entire audience immediately cried out in alarm.
