Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

The lights then focused on his figure, confirming that he was the protagonist of the scene.

Chairman Zhu then began a speech, which was roughly about welcoming the guests.

Although everyone in the audience wore polite smiles, most of them were already thinking about the items to be auctioned later.

It's said that this auction will not only feature a variety of high-value items, but also some extraordinary objects. The most anticipated item, according to the hype, is the highly mysterious finale.

"Alright, it seems everyone's mind is no longer on this. If I, Zhu, were to continue, it would be inappropriate."

Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby declare the Brilliant Auction officially open.

Chairman Zhu's speech brought the atmosphere to a climax, and soft, soothing music began to play from the well-organized band. People, guided by the waiters, walked happily toward the auction hall.

The auction was held at the Brilliant Grand Theatre, which usually hosts the highest-profile performances.

Sakura and Wu Qi were swept along by the crowd and began to walk towards the theater entrance on the second floor.

......

Guided by the staff, the group walked through the corridor and arrived at a private room.

The private room wasn't large, but it was furnished with several luxurious leather chairs.

On the table next to them, several kinds of fruits, snacks and drinks that they did not recognize were neatly arranged for the guests to take as they pleased.

Directly opposite the door is a window that resembles a viewing platform.

The auction hall outside the window was dimly lit, indicating that the auction had not yet officially started.

These private boxes, arranged at different heights, surround the entire venue, creating a stage-like scene.

In the center of all the private boxes, equipment was being tested on a spacious stage, awaiting the start of the event.

After the waiter politely left and closed the door behind him, Yingduo and Wuqi exchanged a glance and instructed two marines to guard the entrance.

Accompanied by a burst of blue light, the jewel-like blue crystal on Yingduo's neck suddenly lit up.

As the light spread, all sorts of strange-looking devices appeared on the ground.

"Put your equipment away."

Sakura urged him in a low voice.

Wu Qi stepped forward and picked up his armor briefcase, feeling much more at ease.

As a battle armor master, he currently cannot store his battle armor in a spatial dimension like Minister Spier; he can only carry the equipment with him.

Meanwhile, Sakura had already quickly and quietly placed a device in the corner of the room.

After the complex operation, a green indicator light illuminated on the device.

"It's connected."

In the hotel conference room, seeing the message "Connection successful" appear on the screen, Xiang Yu looked up and said.

"Now we can disable the entire Brilliant Palace's signal at any time."

Lin Yuan nodded, his eyes fixed on the screen without saying a word.

......

Meanwhile, in the spacious and luxurious box at the top of the theater, Chairman Zhu settled comfortably into the thick seat.

A scantily clad, beautiful waitress brought over a drink. Chairman Zhu took it and gently swirled the cup, as if waiting for something.

A short while later, a man in black walked in from outside the room and whispered something in his ear.

After listening, Chairman Zhu nodded and gently waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to leave.

After the heavy door was closed, Chairman Zhu said softly:

"It seems some uninvited guests have sneaked in. Mr. Mo, please step in and maintain order."

In the corner, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

He was wearing a thick overcoat and a top hat.

Hidden beneath the clothing is skin made mostly of metal.

The cyborg, known as Mr. Mo, slowly raised his head, and two scarlet lights shone in his electronic eyes.

......

Chapter 52 The Silent Slaughter

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's splendid auction."

A loud voice broke the silence of the hall and attracted everyone's attention.

Lights, accompanied by sound, rained down from the dome, focusing on the stage in the center of the venue, and a dazzling projection began to rotate around the stage.

A man's figure appeared in the light, his face wearing a golden mask.

Seeing the gazes gathering around him, the man simply smiled and showed no signs of stage fright.

As one of the most famous hosts in Thousand Star City, he has hosted stages far grander than this.

With just two simple jokes, the host made the guests burst into laughter.

Capitalizing on the lively atmosphere, the host quickly steered the conversation toward today's auction.

"A night of brilliance begins with brilliance. Ladies and gentlemen, here is our first lot!"

As an exquisite container was brought onto the stage, everyone's attention was drawn to the item up for auction.

"The first item up for auction is the crown from Trevisi—the dazzling starstone. Oh, I can see that all the distinguished ladies here have noticed. That's right, it's the legendary starstone that can reflect the stars and enhance the wearer's radiant beauty. Starting bid: 1000 million credits!"

Under the light, a round gemstone with blue and black stripes appeared to resemble a cluster of stars, exuding a mysterious and precious aura.

"1500 credits!"

"2000 million credits".

The appearance of the Star Stone unsurprisingly caused a stir.

Soon, people started raising prices, and the price rose rapidly amidst fierce competition.

"This is truly a high-profile auction."

To facilitate viewing for guests, each private room is equipped with a screen projector, allowing each guest to see the details of the exhibits up close.

At that moment, Sakura, who was staring intently at the screen, had a sparkling look in her eyes and said with some envy.

"No way, Sakura-nee, you don't actually want one of these too?"

"What do you know?" Yingduo rolled her eyes at him.

"This is hailed as one of the ten most coveted treasures among Tver women. Not only is it beautiful, but it's said that those who wear it become even more charming under the tempering of the power of the stars."

"This thing sounds like a publicity stunt, and people actually believe it?"

Wu Qi was somewhat dumbfounded.

While the two were still bickering, the collection outside had already been auctioned off to a wealthy lady for a high price.

She looked down disdainfully at the other private rooms that had competed with her earlier, like a victorious peacock.

......

"Oh? There really is an unexpected bonus."

The terminal emitted a notification sound indicating a successful match, and Xiang Yu leaned closer to look at the screen.

"Wow, they're quite a well-known group. Their combined company bounty is probably close to ten million. They've pulled off quite a few major interstellar robberies. So, they're planning to rob an auction? They've got some nerve!"

The system successfully matched the identities of the group of people that were just collected in the lobby.

The reason for the successful identification was mainly due to the distinctive physical characteristics of one of the individuals; for him, wearing ten more masks would be of no use.

"Send the information to the people inside and tell them to take note. If they have time later, we can clean it up together."

Lin Yuan looked at the information displayed on the screen and said calmly.

......

"Mr. Mo, this is the room."

A waiter quickly led the way, lowering his voice slightly.

Mr. Mo followed closely behind, striding down the corridor. His attendants and guards bowed slightly in greeting.

"This is the place. I'll take my leave now."

Upon arriving at a private room, the servants respectfully withdrew.

Mr. Mo stood in front of the door, his mechanical prosthetic eye emitting a blinding light.

At this moment, the heavy door and wall were penetrated directly into his line of sight, and the five figures inside the private room were clearly visible.

"Target confirmed."

Mr. Mo's deep voice murmured, and he then took out a disc from his coat pocket and attached it to the wall outside the private room.

"Om-"

A slight vibration and a flash of light appeared, and a force field began to spread to the other side of the wall.

The sounds inside and outside the private room were immediately cut off.

......

"Damn, this piece of junk is so uncomfortable to wear."

Inside the room, a burly man with a menacing face removed his mask and tossed it aside in disgust.

He looked down at the noisy auction scene and spat.

"Hehe, keep taking pictures, they'll all be ours in the end."

A cold smile appeared on the burly man's face.

"Boss, when do we make our move?"

Behind him, a short man asked excitedly.

"What's the rush? We have to wait for these treasures to be revealed before we know which ones are valuable. I've heard there's a mystery item at the end, supposedly a priceless treasure."
