Watching Zhang Kun and the others leave, Chu Chen couldn't help but frown. Given their personalities, it was quite strange for them not to jump out and provoke a bit.
There's an old saying that unusual things must have something strange behind them, it seems I need to be more cautious in our actions.
Everyone took their invitations and directly went up to the second floor, and even Chu Chen and the others were assigned a private box.
Ultimately, the Gu Family siblings followed Wang Tianxiong to box number 204, while Chu Chen and the other two went to box number 209.
There were a total of twenty boxes on the second floor, and each box had a beautiful maid waiting at the door.
The box numbers also represented status, with number 201 reserved for the City Lord, two to ten for the Five Great Daoist Schools and other top forces.
Chu Chen and the others getting box 209 probably meant they took a place from a major force.
At this time, Li Dehai was assigned to box number 20.
His face immediately turned sullen as he looked at the box number.
"Who's inside number 209?" Li Dehai asked coldly.
Box 209 had always been the reserved box for their Li Family, and now being squeezed out, naturally, he wanted to inquire.
The maid, hearing this, cautiously replied, "Reporting to Patriarch Li, box 209 has been assigned to Mr. Chu."
"Mr. Chu, could it be that Chu Chen?"
"Indeed."
Upon getting the answer, Li Dehai's expression became extremely unpleasant.
"Damn it, damn it, how dare he." After venting his anger for a while, Li Dehai went inside the box.
In fact, it was all arranged by the City Lord; otherwise, the people below wouldn't dare to swap boxes at will.
Soon, there were sounds of things being smashed and thrown coming from inside the box.
Dong Hanyang's move was practically hitting one where it hurt most.
At this time, Chu Chen and the others entered the box and found that it was very spacious, nearly a hundred square meters, with complete leisure facilities inside, including beds, chairs, tea tables, fruits, beverages, and more. All of these fruits and drinks were rich in Star Power and clearly extraordinary items.
The walls of the box were soundproofed, so even if one danced inside, the adjacent boxes wouldn't notice.
On the side facing the auction was a huge window that would automatically open when the auction started.
The three of them sat together, drinking tea and watching the slightly crowded people below.
Lu Hongfei picked up a fruit and slowly ate it, marveling at how the scale of this auction house was comparable to those in large cities.
Curious and eager for gossip, Chu Chen couldn't help but ask, "Director, did you also attend auctions in large cities?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Hongfei quickly responded, "That was back when I was in college, I was fortunate enough to attend one, and I still remember the final item being an Immortal Level Beast Taming Egg."
Chu Chen was a bit surprised upon hearing this, "Can an Immortal Level Beast Taming Egg be bought with money?"
"Of course not, that Beast Taming Egg was consigned by someone for sale at the auction house, and it was exchanged for an Earth Rank Middle Grade Light and Dark Flower at that time."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen showed a shocked expression. Earth Rank Middle Grade Heavenly and Earthly Treasures—he had never even seen such a high-level treasure; the highest-grade Heavenly and Earthly Treasure he had seen was only a Profound Rank Upper Grade Domain Fruit.
As they chatted, the large window automatically opened, and the noisy clamor instantly poured into the box, causing all three to furrow their brows simultaneously.
At this time, a beautiful woman in a blood-red evening gown slowly walked onto the auction stage.
The beautiful woman had a curvaceous and delicate figure, fair skin, and defined features. Her every move exuded the charm of a mature woman.
The moment she appeared on stage, she captured everyone's attention.
The beautiful woman slowly raised her hands and said loudly, "Everyone, please quiet down."
The beautiful woman's voice wasn't loud, but it resonated throughout the auction, clearly using some special means.
At her words, everyone stopped conversing.
Seeing this, the beautiful woman then started speaking, "My name is Bao Yilin, and I have the honor of serving as the auctioneer for this event. Thank you all for coming to this auction, ..."
After a somewhat cliché opening remark, Bao Yilin quickly introduced the first auction item.
A maid came up holding a tray, on which was an item covered with a red cloth.
Bao Yilin removed the red cloth, and people finally saw that the item on the tray was a Beast Taming Egg, shaped like a rugby ball.
"The first auction item is a Beast Taming Egg of a Dark Demon Tiger. Its quality is Perfect Level Upper Grade, and it has dual Dark Element and Beast Type attributes. In the Strong Attack Guardian Beast category, it is a top-tier offering, with a starting price of two hundred thousand and a minimum bid increment of ten thousand."
As soon as Bao Yilin finished her words, someone on the first floor bid two hundred and thirty thousand.
However, as this bid just fell, someone else called out two hundred and forty thousand, then two hundred and fifty thousand, and soon the price exceeded three hundred thousand.
After reaching three hundred thousand, there were noticeably fewer bidders.
At this point, a voice filled with anger came from a box on the second floor.
"Our Li Family bids four hundred thousand."
As his words fell, the first floor became silent.
Seeing this, Bao Yilin could only smile and say, "This Beast Taming Egg is extremely rare, and missing it would be such a pity."
However, Bao Yilin's words fell into a sea of silence without any further bids.
The value of this Beast Taming Egg was between three hundred to four hundred thousand. The price named by the Li Family wasn't low, and since it was a call from a box, those on the first floor dared not continue bidding.
Chu Chen recognized the voice of the bidder as Li Dehai, knowing that his action was to demonstrate the wealth of his family.
Even though they lost sixty million yesterday, he wanted to remind everyone that the Li Family was still the same Li Family as before.
At this moment, a voice came from box 204, belonging to Wang Tianxiong, declaring that the Beast Taming Egg was very good, and four hundred thousand was a bit low, so he offered five hundred thousand.
Li Dehai naturally recognized the voice. With his status, he didn't dare compete with Wang Tianxiong.
Then, a voice from box 203 emerged, belonging to Zhang Kun. "Brother Wang has sharp eyesight; this Beast Taming Egg is indeed good, and five hundred thousand is not high, I'll offer six hundred thousand."
In the corner of the first floor, a young girl tugged at the sleeve of a middle-aged man beside her and asked, "Dad, can this Beast Taming Egg really be as good as they say?"
The middle-aged man, hearing his daughter's innocent words, hurriedly gestured for her to remain silent.
"Don't speak carelessly. They are old adversaries. Who would've thought that the first auction item would already have such a gunpowder smell? It looks like there will be a good show to watch next."
The girl, upon hearing this, nodded with some bewilderment, evidently not fully grasping the message her father was conveying.
At this time, Wang Tianxiong and Zhang Kun were still bidding, and soon the price reached nine hundred thousand.
Gu Hui approached Wang Tianxiong and whispered, "Director, this Beast Taming Egg isn't worth that price. We don't need to get into a conflict with him."
Wang Tianxiong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry; that old fellow won't give up easily."
Just as Wang Tianxiong finished speaking, Zhang Kun snorted coldly, "I bid one million."
"Haha, since Brother Zhang is willing to pay double the price for this Beast Taming Egg, I can only bear the pain and let it go."
