Chapter 420: Rejected All, Touch the Cake
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After the auction ended, most of the guests who had not left presented all kinds of treasures. Just as the guests were laughing and wondering what items would catch the eye of that big shot, the treasures were returned one by one.
Even with the cover of red silk or special treasure boxes, the center of the auction hall was still filled with all kinds of shiny lights emitted by the treasures. This scene caused the few guests on the first floor who remained to gasp softly.
“To have seen such precious treasures, it’s worth it even if I return empty-handed today!”
The items that could be presented for the big shot’s selection naturally couldn’t be the items from this wild region’s auction.
They even saw an exquisite divine boat. Even though it had shrunk, they could tell that it was a supreme treasure that contained no less than ten points of divine source. If it was put up for auction, it would at least account for one-third of the auction’s total sales!
!!
In addition, there were supreme-grade furnaces, merchant street contracts that covered more than half of the region, a group of ten large-scale mineral veins with precious resources…
They were all treasures that could cause a bloodbath in the outside world! As for some ordinary-grade treasures, they had long since become dull and worthless in comparison. It was especially so for items that were considered treasures by some island nations. They were not worth mentioning at all!
Seeing the endless stream of treasures being returned, the guests who were unwilling to give up could not help but be curious.
“What exactly has been left behind?”
“Which family has the hope of ascending to the heavens in one go next?”
“…”
When the treasures were just being returned, the members of the major factions were still wearing smiles. They were beating around the bush with the other factions, trying to find out which faction’s treasures had been taken in by the big shot.
However, as all sorts of treasures that many would covet after were sent out one by one, they couldn’t help but fall silent. Even their aura was faintly surging. Many true G.o.ds frowned.
“How could this be? I even invested a huge sum, but why are they all returned?!”
“If the big shot doesn’t even think much of the divine ship, then the other treasures are probably…”
“Sigh, as expected of a top-notch figure that is so high up we can’t even see his back. Perhaps the big shot already has better and more treasures.”
“We might not even have the qualifications to follow behind the Lord as servants, no wonder our gifts were returned!”
“…”
In the end, all the treasures that were sent as gifts were returned to their original owners, whether openly or discreetly. For some reason, all the guests came to the same conclusion at the same time: The big shot in the central room didn’t think much of their trinkets because he already had better and more treasures!
The big shot who couldn’t be bribed was very troublesome in the eyes of some who wanted to take a shortcut.
The auctioneer stood on the auction stage and bowed respectfully in the direction of that person, then pa.s.sed on the message, “The Lord has said that all the beasts and slaves in this auction will be detained. From now on, the wild region’s auction will no longer be responsible for the slave trade. As for those who want to bid for beasts to bond with, the form of adoption will temporarily replace the auction. The owner of choice is up to the beast. After adoption, the auction will carry out periodic visits. Those who are malicious to the beast will lose the right to keep the beast, and in severe cases, death.”
The auctioneer’s back was straight like never before, and there was even a glimmer of starlight in his eyes.
“The other businesses will remain as usual. The rules regarding slaves and beasts will be made public in the future. I hope that everyone will not forget to act according to the law.”
After such a long speech, it was obvious that the wild region’s auction had someone backing them up. It no longer placed the various major powers that had helped it develop in the first place in its eyes!
If it wasn’t for the thunderous methods of the mysterious expert, no one would have agreed to it. They would only look down on the auction house as if it was an ant and sneer, “Since this auction doesn’t listen, we can just change it!”
However, at this moment, most of the guests present had grim expressions.
The Black Flood Dragon Gang’s Madam Mi smiled charmingly without any concern for the matter, “Matters with the slaves and beasts have nothing to do with me. After all, the Black Flood Dragon Gang changed our business long ago. Even those elven beast slavemasters can change their business route.”
She turned around and smiled at the members of the other factions, “It’s a pity that the Dark Mystic Palace, the Nvzhen Kingdom, Sun Island, Hehuan Island, and Gu Sect won’t be able to explain themselves after your return.”
The Princess of the Nvzhen Kingdom said indifferently, “Isn’t it just taking a few more steps to achieve our goal? Our kingdom doesn’t lack that bit of energy.”
On the other hand, the people of Sun Island and Hehuan Island looked at each other, their hearts tensed. These large factions could afford not to care, but they could not!
The Sun Island emissary revealed a somewhat forced smile, trying to pull in allies, “Fellow friends of the Dark Mystic Palace and Gu Sect, don’t you have anything to say? You need a lot of slaves.”
Madam Wugu exchanged glances with the middle-aged man beside her and changed the topic, “Hey, you from Sun Island, are you blind?! The Dark Mystical Palace did not even send anyone who could be in charge. It seems that you can only speak to the air.”
The man also spoke in a low voice, “The Gu Sect does not need allies who will backstab us at any time.”
For a moment, an elder of a faction that could barely be ranked in front among the factions in the vicinity of the wild region became a despised figure.
“Pfft…” The humans and orcs who had been holed up at the side, not daring to interrupt, could not help but laugh.
The Sun Island emissary’s expression became uglier and his eyeb.a.l.l.s rolled as he scolded them. He wore a pained expression on his face, “I am doing this for the auction, for everyone’s sake, for the Lord’s sake!”
“If the wild region’s auction stops auctioning slaves and beasts, not only will this harm the interests of the auction, but also the interests of the various major factions and the wild region’s local slave Chamber of Commerce! If this is announced, the ones who will have the last laugh will be the slave Chamber of Commerce and the underground auction!”
The auctioneer’s gaze swept over with a terrifying might.
“Oh? You’re trying to say that our Lord did something wrong,” As soon as these words were said, the islanders of Sun Island immediately knelt in fear, shouting that they didn’t dare to do such a thing!
Upstairs, Chu Feng poured a cup of tea and remained calm. The local slave Chamber of Commerce, the underground auction, the various factions, and organizations in the wild region… All he had to do was to get rid of the chronic diseases within.
A calm and clear male voice sounded in the silent auction hall, “Those who wish to bid for slaves can leave now.”
The leaders of the various factions exchanged a few glances with each other before gradually leaving. However, the agitation in their hearts did not calm down.
“Today’s matter is not over yet…”
The people from Sun Island and Hehuan Island looked unwillingly at the place where the auction items were placed.
What a pity for those slaves or cauldrons that can be sold for a good price…
Even the Black Flood Dragon Gang, which had captured quite many beasts as auction items, didn’t dare to ask for them. The other weaker factions didn’t dare to say anything either. In the end, quite a few left aggrieved. It was unknown whether they, along with some merchant a.s.sociations and organizations, would come up with some big moves later.
Chu Feng walked down with a boy and a girl. It was clearly a shabby cloister, but it somehow looked more beautiful as if it was gracing his presence.
When he went downstairs and saw that there were still a few guests, Chu Feng could not help but ask in puzzlement, “What are you waiting here for?”
