Before long, a maidservant arrived in a hurry with an expert appraiser.

"Gu Chang, you little brat, you're being a snob again, aren't you? You dare offend my distinguished guest? I'll tear this old man apart, you believe me?"

The appraiser's cursing voice came over.

Soon the treasure appraiser approached First Hong and his group.

He first bowed to the First Hong, then walked up to the person in charge.

One slap sent the person in charge flying.

"Gu Chang, you little brat, you dare to stop my guest? Are you looking for death?"

Gu Chang, who had been knocked away, stood up from the ground, his head still spinning.

"Old He, what are you doing here? Aren't you off today? They only said that the token was given by the treasure appraiser, not that you gave it to them. As you know, among these treasure appraisers, besides you, who else is qualified to give VIP tokens to others? If they say it was given by the treasure appraiser, I will naturally be suspicious."

Upon hearing this explanation, Old He finally realized what was happening, then snorted coldly and snatched the token back from Gu Chang's hand.

"Sir, we apologize. It was our auction staff who were misunderstanding."

"Fine, but I don't want this to happen again."

"Don't worry, it definitely won't happen again."

Old He smiled and nodded, then personally led Di Yihong and the others to a private room on the second floor.

This was the first time Di Yi Hong had ever heard that the Tian Dou Auction House actually had a second floor, and even private rooms—a completely independent space.

Looking from the private rooms towards the auction stage, everything is clearly visible. However, looking from the first floor towards the second floor, all you can see are walls; there's no trace of the private rooms at all. This is clearly a special measure taken by the auction house to protect the privacy of the guests in the second-floor private rooms.

Soon, the auction began.

First Hong showed absolutely no interest in the items being sold, and even seemed somewhat listless.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Tang San opened the door.

Old He stood at the doorway.

"Is it convenient for me to come in?"

First Hong called out directly, "Old He, come in."

Upon hearing this, Old He went straight into the room.

"Sir, your auction items have been inventoried, totaling 132 items with a total value of 300 million gold soul coins. This is the buyback price offered by our auction house. If you wish to put them up for auction, their value should double. What do you think?"

"Let's just sell it to the auction house. I'm too lazy to wait here for this little bit of money."

This little money?
Old He stared wide-eyed at Di Yi Hong.

That's three hundred million gold soul coins! In First Hong's eyes, this is all he has. His wealth and arrogance even surpasses that of the four major merchant guilds.

Regardless, he has generated at least 300 million yuan in revenue for the auction this time, which will further enhance his status in the auction world.

"Sir, on behalf of the auction house, I thank you. From now on, you will be our lifetime VIP. This private room is yours. Please keep the token safe. You can show the token whenever you come here in the future."

After he finished speaking, Old He suddenly seemed to remember something, and the smile on his face faded.

"Furthermore, sir, I heard that you killed Lei Xing. He was the young master of the Thunder Chamber of Commerce and also President Lei's favorite youngest son. The people of the Thunder Chamber of Commerce will not let you go. I have already received news that the Thunder Chamber of Commerce has entered the auction house. You still need to be careful. If they cause you trouble at the auction house, our auction house will step in to stop them, but once they leave the auction house, we are powerless to help them."

"I see."

Seeing Di Yihong's nonchalant expression, Old He immediately realized that someone who could casually throw away over 300 million couldn't possibly be an ordinary person; he was clearly from a powerful organization. His worries were indeed somewhat unnecessary. "Then I'll be going now. Please take this black card; all 300 million gold soul coins are inside."

"it is good."

After Di Yihong put the card away, Old He walked straight out of the room.

"First, as the head of the four major chambers of commerce, the Thunder Chamber of Commerce is probably something even the auction house would be very wary of. Our auction this time is unlikely to go smoothly."

"What's there to be afraid of? We have 300 million people, why would we need to worry about this?"

First Hong casually swung the card in his hand and looked at everyone smugly.

Just as they were talking, the auction finally reached its climax.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item to be auctioned is the map of the Tianzong Ruins that you have all been looking forward to."

After saying that, the auctioneer took out a black box.

The black box had clearly undergone special treatment; even First Hong's spiritual power and divine sense could not see what was inside.

"Why don't you open the box and let us see if it contains what you claim—a map of the Tianzong ruins?"

Upon hearing the words of the seated guests, the auctioneer burst out laughing.

"You guys are really shrewd. This is a map; you could all memorize it easily. If you all see it, how are we supposed to continue the auction?"

After making the joke, the auctioneer waved his hand.

"Everyone, the starting bid for this map is 50 million gold soul coins. Each bid must be at least 10 million, with no upper limit."

"Sixty million."

"Seventy million."

"One hundred million..."

Prices continue to rise.

First Hong should have had enough of his 300 million, but now that it's just begun, the price has already reached 100 million, and it's still rising. He's afraid his 300 million might not be enough.

However, when the price was raised to 150 million, all the shouts from the first floor disappeared.

Faced with the empty silence, the auctioneer was not alarmed, but instead focused his attention on the second floor.

The casual patrons on the first floor are mostly ordinary nobles or members of major sects, while the second floor is where the real nobles, or even wealthy people like members of the Chamber of Commerce, gather.

This auction is for the people on the second floor.

Not long after, a heavy voice rang out.

"Two hundred million!"

As soon as this sound came out, First Hong immediately raised the price.

"Two hundred and ten million."

"Two hundred and twenty million."

"..."

The auctioneer didn't say a word, waiting quietly, knowing the show was finally about to begin.

For the auctioneer, his favorite part was auctioning items to the guests on the second floor. No need for much explanation; they could immediately tell whether something was good or bad. He didn't even need to create a lively atmosphere; the guests would naturally drive up the prices. (End of Chapter)
