Chapter 215: Infiltrate
“Two hundred million!”
“I bid five hundred million!”
“Eight hundred million…”
“One hundred and one million…!”
Soon, everyone began to bid.
Duke Butler was very satisfied with the atmosphere.
In the end, a Count used the price of one and a half billion to bid for this rare Battle Beast.
The rest of the people were not discouraged. They believed that the powerful Duke Butler would bring them more surprises.
“Boring…” Locke did not understand the mentality of these collectors.
The main target had appeared but where was the evidence of his crime?
Looking at how enthusiastic this guy was on stage, it was unlikely that it would end so soon.
Locke asked the waiter beside him, “How many items are there to be auctioned today?”
“Honorable Viscount, there are thirteen…”
There was plenty of time.
The hall was dark now and Locke was sitting far away, so no one would notice him.
After asking for the location of the bathroom, Locke got up and left.
Most of the people were in the auction hall right now and it was empty outside.
The patrolling Beastmaster bodyguards had just left as well.
Locke came to the main hall and noticed that there were quite a few portraits of Duke Butler hanging on the wall in the middle.
“How narcissistic…”
This behavior meant that this was probably Duke Butler’s office or residence.
Some key doc.u.ments should be here.
Locke walked up the stairs.
“Viscount, what are you doing?” A waiter happened to appear.
Locke did not waste any words and knocked him out with one punch.
After all, it could not be said that he was looking for the bathroom, right?
Who would believe that?
After leaving this guy in the storage room, Locke continued to walk deeper into the room.
He discovered that there were quite a number of Beastmasters wandering around in front of a large room with their Battle Beasts.
It was obvious that there must be something valuable here!
However, before he was 100% sure, Locke could not use a Battle Beast that had too much influence.
Under such circ.u.mstances, it was time for the Twin-headed White Jade Snake to perform.
Lil’ White climbed up the wall from Locke’s sleeves and began to approach these people.
With his hands behind his back, Locke appeared in the corridor.
“Who are you… I’m asking you! This is the boss’…”
The five people and their Battle Beasts had not even made a sound when they were frozen on the spot by the Twin-headed White Jade Snake’s ice-type Light and Dark Spatial Slash.
“Bang! Bang!”
The fire elemental sledgehammer in Locke’s hand smashed them into pieces!
They turned into a puddle of water and flowed away.
It was as if these people had never been to this world.
Red dots flashed on the lock of the office door. This was most likely an alarm system.
At such a close distance, the Twin-headed White Jade Snake returned to Locke’s shoulder and used Spatial Movement to enter the office.
There were many things inside but there was not a single doc.u.ment.
Most likely, it was placed in the conspicuous safe.
Facing the specially made tough safe, the fire elemental did not have any pressure and immediately transformed into a sharp scalpel.
Locke was now like a surgeon.
There was a round opening on the top.
In addition to many doc.u.ments, there were photos.
These photos had a strong sense of ritual. It felt like the group was an alliance.
Among them were photos of Gilbert and Duke Butler signing a doc.u.ment.
There were also a lot of people kneeling in front of Gilbert.
With these doc.u.ments and photos, it would be deemed enough.
Locke did not bother to look at other things in the room. He put the things he had found in his arms.
With the help of the Twin-headed White Jade Snake, they left.
From the beginning to the end, no one knew what had happened to the room.
Locke realized that he still had the talent to infiltrate!
“Next is the sixth piece of the collection! The Star Diamond!” Butler did not know what had happened, so he happily introduced the next item to everyone.
Locke, who had completed a part of the mission, stretched his body. After ordering a gla.s.s of champagne, he quietly watched Duke Butler perform.
After more than half an hour, the last piece of the collection was brought up.
“I believe that everyone has been looking forward to this moment for a long time!” Butler said as he personally lifted the black cloth.
Countless lights shone on the gla.s.s cabinet!
The entire venue immediately burst into a series of “wow” sounds.
“It’s really beautiful! Look at the lines…”
“Yeah! It really has a thick sense of history…”
“This color is really magical…”
“I feel the n.o.bility of the ancient G.o.ds…”
Hearing the words of the people around him, Locke almost laughed out of anger!
Far away, the so-called Swift Hurricane Hammer was just a rusty blue short-handled hammer.
It really did not have any outstanding features.
Undoubtedly, the hammer was good enough but it was not as what the others said it seemed to be.
Locke did not understand where these so-called “upper-cla.s.s people” had developed such an inexplicable aesthetic sense.
However, its value should be indisputable. After all, there was one in the continent.
“500 million!”
Before Butler was ready to mobilize the crowd to go crazy, a fat man in a suit stood up and raised his hand.
500 million from the start?
This was something Butler had not expected.
“800 million!”
“1.2 billion!”
“1.7 billion!”
“2 billion…”
In less than ten minutes, the compet.i.tion had reached a climax!
“Great, this item can be auctioned for at least 2.5 billion…” Butler was ecstatic.
Soon, the price had reached 3.2 billion!
“Are there any more friends who are bidding?
“No more…”
Seeing that the time was almost up, just as Butler’s hammer was about to hit the table, the fatty from before shouted again, “3.3 billion!”
There was another wave of surprised “wa” sounds at the scene.
Butler’s heart was about to burst with joy!
This fatty looked at the people around him with contempt. He was determined to get this hammer!
“Hmph… What’s with the d*mn fatty’s arrogance…” A Countess who had just bid with him sat down unhappily.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Butler was about to announce it.
Suddenly, a young voice rang out, “3,301,000,000!”
Without a doubt, it was naturally Locke.
Everyone’s gaze shifted to him.
“Is this kid crazy? He dares to s.n.a.t.c.h things from Count Munro?”
“Isn’t he too young? Does he have so much money?”
“So, he’s still a Viscount, I wonder which family he’s from…”
“Only adding one million? Interesting…”
The fat Count Munro looked at the kid and roared, “Which family are you from? Quickly sit down, uncle will find you a girlfriend later. Don’t cause trouble! Be good…”
“Hahahaha…”
Everyone looked at the young Locke and laughed at him.
“What does it have to do with you? I’m here to buy something. If you don’t want to buy it, then get out!” Locke did not give him any face at all.
The fat man was so angry that his face was flushed red. The two Beastmaster bodyguards beside him also shot hostile looks at Locke.
