Chapter 1500 Please Infiltrate the Palace

Inside a spacious and elegant room atop the auction house, the atmosphere was relaxed yet subtly tense. Sunlight streamed through the delicate curtains, dappling the soft carpet and adding a warm glow to the upcoming conversation.

Chief Referee Usentan stood by the window, gazing intently into the distance. He shook his head slightly, a barely perceptible bitter smile appearing on his face. Clearly, something had stirred within him, but he remained silent.

Just then, a portly man, dressed in luxurious clothes and with a wealthy appearance, slowly walked into the room. He chuckled and lay down on a large rocking chair. His obese body, even wrapped in fine clothes, still appeared large and conspicuous. However, the fact that he dared to adopt such a leisurely posture in front of two heavyweight figures like Tianhui and Wusentan clearly indicated that his identity was not simple.

"Lord Tianhui, now that you've arrived in Muni City, why didn't you inform His Majesty?" the fat man asked, his voice laced with mockery and sarcasm. "If he knew we'd all kept it from him, we subjects would be in deep trouble..."

Upon hearing this, Tianhui turned around, a meaningful smile appearing on his face. He walked up to the fat man, giving him a seemingly serious once-over, before suddenly bursting into laughter: "You greasy fatso, shut up! Watch out, or I'll snatch away all those treasures you've been 'plotting' for, one by one. Let's see how you try to pull it off then! Hmph!"

Upon hearing this, the fat man's expression changed instantly, but he quickly regained his playful grin: "Oh dear, Lord Tianhui, you've hit the nail on the head! I was just thinking of taking advantage of this auction to find some rare treasures for His Majesty. If you buy them all, how will I ever face His Majesty again?"

Usentan walked over at that moment, glanced at the fat man, and said with a half-smile, "Fat greasy guy, do you think we don't know what you're up to? There are plenty of good things at this auction, you've probably been eyeing them for a while now, haven't you?"

"Hehe, Chief Judge Usentan, you flatter me. I was just thinking that while searching for treasure for His Majesty, I might also take the opportunity to see if there's anything suitable for myself." The fat man chuckled awkwardly, trying to conceal his true purpose.

The three exchanged smiles, the atmosphere relaxed and harmonious. However, they all knew that behind this seemingly simple conversation lay a deeper meaning.

Tianhui walked to the window, gazing into the distance as if he could pierce through the layers of buildings to see the bustling streets and surging crowds outside the auction house. He spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of depth: "This grand auction is not only a test for the granddaughter of the Nanding family, but also a trial for all of us. Although His Majesty has not stated it explicitly, how could we not know his thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, Usentan and the fat man's expressions turned serious. They understood that the "trial" Tianhui spoke of referred not only to the competition at this auction house, but also to their status and influence within the empire. In this turbulent era, everyone was striving to improve their strength to prepare for potential future changes.

"Lord Tianhui, please rest assured. As your subjects, we will naturally do our utmost to share your burdens," the fat man said solemnly. The playful expression on his face was gone, replaced by a firm resolve.

Usentan nodded, his eyes flashing with a sharp light: "That's right. At this grand auction, we not only want to find treasures for His Majesty, but also to use this opportunity to demonstrate our strength and wisdom. Let those enemies lurking in the shadows know that our Golden Wind Empire is not so easy to deal with."

Their eyes met at that moment, their hearts filled with anticipation and determination for the future. This grand auction was destined to be a significant turning point in their lives, bringing unprecedented changes and opportunities to the Golden Wind Empire.

The fat man's face was flushed with anger, clearly provoked by something Tianhui had said. He snorted, his fat cheeks trembling slightly with each sound, glared at Tianhui, and said in a deep voice, "If you dare, I'll immediately send someone to inform His Majesty to prepare a thousand-strong ceremonial procession to escort you to the palace from the Nanding Auction House!"

These words carried an undeniable threat. It was as if if Tianhui dared to make any rash move, the massive procession of ceremonial staffs would immediately appear at the entrance of the Nightingale Auction House and "invite" Tianhui into the palace.
