Chapter 1333: Chapter 1332: Speculation (Part 1)

"First, no fighting or loud noise inside the venue, no matter who you are!"

"Second, no random bidding. Of course, if you have the capital, then go ahead!"

"Third, the items on stage are not to be questioned. It all depends on your own eyes!"

He finished speaking slowly, yet every sentence seemed to sink deep into people’s hearts.

Even Lin Xi couldn’t help being secretly surprised.

Looks like this old man not only has the strength of a Peak Soldier King, he also has a certain trait—he can make people firmly remember his words.

Or rather, make them treat his words as something very important.

This should be some kind of Cultivation Technique?

He thought to himself.

This was similar to the Seven Deadly Sins he obtained in the West.

But judging from the aura alone, his aura couldn’t compare to the Dwarf Demon.

However, Lin Xi didn’t think the Dwarf Demon could actually beat this man.

Didn’t you see the Dwarf Demon in the corner also looking very serious at the old man’s words?

The other people seated were all wearing serious expressions as well.

Only Yang Feifei in another corner had a trace of disdain flash across her face.

Lin Xi’s eyes shifted, his face thoughtful.

Someone whose strength hadn’t even reached King of Soldiers level actually showed such indifference, even contempt, toward people far stronger than her.

That meant she absolutely wasn’t alone.

There had to be a very powerful backing behind her.

Otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t act like this.

Of course, there was another point—the force holding this auction was definitely not just relying on this old man’s personal strength.

Otherwise, no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t suppress so many people.

You had to know, among those present, he’d already sensed at least four Peak Soldier Kings.

The rest, aside from six top-tier special forces soldiers, were all Kings of Soldiers.

You could say the lineup here was extremely strong.

After all, a city might not even have a single King of Soldiers.

"Alright, those three will do!" the old man said with a smile. "I believe everyone will behave themselves!"

"Otherwise, I don’t need to spell out the consequences!"

"I’m sure you all know what we’re capable of!"

Only then did Lin Xi notice that beneath the Dwarf Demon’s serious look, a hint of impatience flashed by, though it was very well hidden.

If he hadn’t happened to be looking over, he might not have noticed.

The other three Peak Soldier Kings showed no change in expression.

"As for what’s being auctioned today, I can guarantee you it will definitely be worth your while!" He clapped his hands. "Of course, whether you can snatch it depends on your capital!"

The next moment, under Lin Xi’s gaze, two young women walked in from the back.

The two of them together were carrying a tray.

The tray was covered by a piece of red cloth.

From the outside, you couldn’t tell what was on it.

But almost everyone present widened their eyes and even held their breath.

They clearly cared a lot.

Only Lin Xi and Yang Feifei showed little emotional fluctuation.

Lin Xi simply didn’t care.

As for Yang Feifei, Lin Xi figured she probably wasn’t all that familiar with this auction.

So she must have come here for some specific item.

Or for some specific person present.

He swept another glance over the crowd. Although the lighting was very dim and everyone was dressed oddly, clearly with some level of makeup or disguise.

With his eyes, he could still see through everyone’s true face.

It’s just that he didn’t recognize any of them.

Even those Peak Soldier Kings, he didn’t know them.

Even though he’d spent so long in the chaotic regions before, crossing hands with many people.

It was just that most of the strong opponents who’d crossed hands with him were already dead.

Precisely because of this, aside from a very small number of people who knew him, the others likewise didn’t know this King of the Dark Night.

While he was thinking this, he heard the old man on stage speak again, "As for the very first item in today’s auction!"

"We definitely have to give everyone a surprise!"

"So, anyone want to guess what this is?"

"If you guess right, any item you buy in today’s auction will be at a ten percent discount!"

As soon as he said that, the crowd below instantly grew a bit restless.

Even the four Peak Soldier Kings including the Dwarf Demon couldn’t sit still anymore.

At this moment, Lin Xi saw Yang Feifei in the corner lightly spit out a "tch."

That reaction left him a bit speechless.

Don’t look down on that ten percent off!

At an auction of this level, prices started at at least tens of millions.

In fact, he figured he might still be underestimating it.

At ten percent off, whoever guessed right would at least save over one million.

If they bought something worth over a hundred million, or over a billion, then the amount saved would be scary.

After all, in this money-driven world, you really can’t get by without cash.

Even if you’re Innate!

Of course, once you reach Peak Soldier King or King of Soldiers level, making money isn’t that hard.

But earning several billion, even over ten billion, is no easy task.

Unless you have a big family behind you.

Otherwise, it’s still very difficult to make that much on your own.

Of course, if you do illegal things, that’s another story.

After all, rob a rich guy and you can get tens of millions just like that.

The risk, of course, is countless times greater than earning money the normal way.

Those rich folks’ bodyguards aren’t just for show either.

So in this world, to get money you either put in a ton of effort, or you shoulder a huge amount of risk.

Naturally, this doesn’t apply to those second- or third-generation rich kids who don’t have to lift a finger.

"Imperial Jade!" someone shouted first.

His shout immediately broke the silence.

After that, quite a few people started calling out.

"Five-hundred-year-old ganoderma!"

"A Fist Skill manual!"

"Palm technique..."

"Song dynasty porcelain!"

"..."

Honestly, people were shouting out all kinds of things.

But Lin Xi noticed a hint of mockery flash across the old man’s face on stage.

Looks like none of their guesses had hit the mark.

He also thought for a moment, and still had no idea what was on that tray.

He’d even tried using his vision.

But with his current limit of seeing through only two layers, he found that beneath the red cloth was a wooden box.

The wooden box had another layer of cloth inside, and something was wrapped in that cloth.

So he couldn’t see through it.

When the old man felt no one below could guess it, he paused, about to speak, when a rough voice suddenly came from a corner.

Mm, when that voice rang out, even Lin Xi was stunned.

Because it came from where Yang Feifei was.

And it came out of Yang Feifei’s own mouth.

For a split second, he even wondered if he’d mistaken her for someone else.

Because that voice didn’t sound off at all.

He, someone very familiar with Yang Feifei, didn’t notice any awkwardness or wrongness, so the others here definitely wouldn’t notice.

He hadn’t expected her to have such a voice!

No wonder her chest was so flat!

Turns out she had a certain amount of male genes in her body.

Lin Xi couldn’t help thinking to himself.
