Chapter 1503 They Betrayed You

Upon hearing this, Nightingale bowed slightly, her face breaking into an even brighter smile: "You're too kind, sir. It is an honor for our Nightingale family to serve you."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the VIP room seemed to become even more harmonious and congenial. The conversation between Tianhui and Nightingale was like a beautiful symphony, captivating everyone. The fat man, once again enveloped in this moment of tranquility, seemed to have become an observer, quietly appreciating this wonderful performance.

However, he was well aware of the deeper meaning and complexity behind this performance. His plump body trembled slightly, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes. He knew that this auction was far more than a simple commercial event; it was a fierce battleground of various forces vying for power. And he, as a key player in this struggle, had to remain vigilant and clear-headed at all times to prepare for any unforeseen events.

As time passed, the light in the VIP room gradually softened. Tianhui and Nightingale's conversation came to an end. They stood there quietly, as if awaiting some important moment. The fat man closed his eyes again, as if preparing for the next round of competition. A brief silence fell over the VIP room, yet this silence was filled with tension and anticipation.

Within a short time, Nightingale, with her exceptional insight and intelligence network, accurately confirmed the identities of the three people in the room. She was secretly surprised that three such important figures would appear at this auction at the same time; it seemed that something extraordinary was bound to happen tonight.

She first turned her gaze to Lord Tianhui, who exuded composure and extraordinary bearing. She had heard many rumors about Lord Tianhui. As a legendary figure in the Hidden God Hall, he was not only unfathomably powerful but also considered the strongest contender for the next Hall Master. Nightingale had heard that Lord Tianhui had displayed astonishing strength and wisdom in several battles against the Dark Sanctuary, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies.

Then, her gaze shifted to Usentan, who stood beside Tianhui. This chief judge of the White Tiger Tribunal in Muni City was also a figure of great prestige. He wielded immense power within the tribunal, and his every word and action could cause a stir throughout Muni City. Nightingale noticed that although Usentan's face was expressionless, his eyes revealed a sharp and authoritative quality, as if they could pierce through all appearances and reach the heart of the matter.

Finally, Nightingale's gaze fell upon the obese and seemingly lazy Dormont. This new patriarch of the Yulis family, one of the four great families of the Golden Wind Empire, was no ordinary man. His ability to wield such a vast family at such a young age suggested his methods and cunning were far more complex than they appeared. Nightingale had also heard that since Dormont took power, the Yulis family had developed a mysterious connection with the Hidden Gods Hall, which only fueled her curiosity about this new patriarch.

While observing these three important figures, Nightingale also paid close attention to their conversations and actions. She noticed that although Dormont seemed nonchalant, a glint of fanaticism and greed would flash in his eyes whenever auction items were mentioned. Clearly, this new patriarch had an almost obsessive passion for collecting auction items. He would stop at nothing to snatch any item that caught his eye, even if it meant paying several times the price of others.

"Lord Tianhui," Nightingale spoke with a smile, breaking the silence in the room, "I heard that the Hidden Gods Hall, in their pursuit of the powerful figures from the Dark Sacred Domain, entered the dreaded Forest of Death and even made an unexpected gain?"

Upon hearing this, Tianhui raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly not expecting Nightingale to bring it up so directly. But then he thought, this wasn't exactly a secret among the higher-ups, and it wasn't surprising that Nightingale, as a core member of the Nightingale family, knew about it. So he nodded and said in a deep voice, "That's right, we did indeed find a Millennium Battle Crystal in the Forest of Death."

These words immediately created a tense atmosphere in the room. A Millennium Crystal Stone was an extremely rare treasure, said to contain immense energy and mysterious secrets. Such a gemstone was enough to ignite a struggle and battle among various forces.

A glint of light flashed in Nightingale's eyes; she knew the value and significance of this millennium-old crystal. But what she was more concerned about was how Lord Tianhui and his men would handle this gem, and the deeper interests and relationships that might be involved.

"Lord Tianhui," she said softly, her voice melodious and pleasant, "since this millennium-old battle crystal is part of the Divine Concealment Hall's acquisition, it will surely be handled properly. I wonder if you have any specific plans?"

Tianhui looked at Nightingale, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. He didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Miss Nightingale, what are your thoughts on this?"

Nightingale smiled slightly, knowing she had successfully piqued Tianhui's interest. So, she calmly analyzed, "While the Millennium Battle Crystal is incredibly precious, it's also a hot potato. Handled properly, it can bring enormous profits to the Hidden God Hall; but handled improperly, it could lead to endless trouble."

She paused, then continued, "In my opinion, Your Excellency might consider sharing the secret of this gem with a reliable ally. This would both diversify the risk and provide an opportunity to strengthen relationships with allies. Of course, this is just my humble opinion; the final decision rests with Your Excellency."
