The blond manager's terminal suddenly rang. He frowned, but his expression changed immediately after he saw the caller's identity.
"Director, what are your instructions?"
"...Yes, yes, there will definitely be no situation that would affect the company's reputation."
The call ended briefly, but it contained a wealth of information.
The blond manager's expression softened, but his gaze became even more fierce.
"Now let's see who dares to show their face."
To ensure the company's direct reputation is not damaged, an armed warship belonging to the Antion Company has been mobilized and is heading from the inner city.
.......
"There's a situation, and security has been significantly increased."
Xiang Yu, who had been monitoring the area, noticed the situation outside and spoke to Lin Yuan.
"Could you ask what happened inside?"
Xiang Yu nodded, and soon after, feedback came through the earpiece that Yingduo was unharmed.
"There must be a situation that we are unaware of."
Lin Yuan stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.
"You've finished preparing all those things, haven't you?"
"Almost there. The equipment has been connected to the network installed in the field. The electromagnetic suppression field can instantly paralyze most electronic devices."
"Alright, the auction is about to end. We'll remain calm and prepared to maintain our composure and suppress the situation at any time."
Vera, who was standing to the side, was watching the auction on the screen and remained silent.
.......
"Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen! An unprecedented auction legend has been created today! Our auction items have just broken the record for the entire Thousand Star City! A great and legendary night, and you are all witnesses and creators of this legend!"
Just now, the last few most valuable items were auctioned off, and the auction did not disappoint those present.
Not only did it feature priceless weapons crafted by world-renowned weapon masters, but it also included super gene serums from a biotechnology giant, a rare species that was rumored to be extinct, and super materials sufficient to forge the most powerful armor.
In addition, many items with magical powers have appeared.
Credits here seem to have become mere numbers, accumulating like a snowball.
The power of capital was rising in the room, and under the stimulation of this environment, the atmosphere at the scene had been pushed to its climax!
"As you may have heard, we have one last mystery item to auction today."
I'll keep you in suspense for now, but I can guarantee that all the previous lots combined are not as rare and precious as this last one.
The host's words captured the attention and curiosity of everyone present, and he stirred up the atmosphere in the entire theater.
On the contrary, the originally bright stage lights gradually dimmed, and the surrounding colored lights were turned off one by one.
"Wow, they're making it so mysterious."
"Heh, I'd like to see what kind of mysterious and precious item it is?"
Whispers rose from the various private rooms.
They didn't have to wait long. Gradually, a soft rustling sound rose from the center of the stage, and the host's loud voice reappeared.
"Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, please witness our final item for this evening's auction—a supreme gift from the divine!"
The lights suddenly came on, and heavenly lights converged on the stage.
At this moment, everyone's gaze involuntarily narrowed.
......
Chapter 54 The Saintess
Bright beams of light descended from the theater's dome, refracting and reflecting in the air as if countless diamonds were present, creating a sacred and beautiful scene.
This most iconic feature of the Brilliant Palace is now relegated to a mere backdrop.
On the stage, a crystal capsule, as pure and clear as a gemstone, was placed and displayed to every guest present through a screen.
A collective gasp and soft exclamations filled the air, and an expression of disbelief appeared on everyone's face.
Inside the crystal capsule, a young girl was found sealed inside.
Her long, ink-black hair cascaded down gently, the ends of which were highlighted with burgundy.
In stark contrast to this is her snow-white skin, which further enhances her sacred aura.
Beneath those light bangs covering her face was an exquisite face, as if bestowed by the goddess of pure beauty.
Her pert nose bridge made her facial features appear softer and more three-dimensional, but what was most striking were her pupils, which resembled pinkish-purple gemstones, as if a mysterious and pure natural light flowed within them.
The only slight flaw was that her eyes looked a little lifeless.
As it quietly observes everything around it, it appears all the more pitiful.
"Oh my goodness, look at this beautiful elf!"
Inside the private room, a wealthy woman gently touched her chest, feeling the elusive vulnerability before her.
"Father, Father, take a picture of her, you must take a picture of her!"
Some wealthy young men even pressed their bodies against the screen, deeply attracted by this symbol that seemed to contain beauty and mystery, their faces revealing a slightly crazy desire.
"Oh, ladies and gentlemen, this is our most mysterious item tonight—a gift from the gods, a true saint!"
The host's voice rose like an aria, and the atmosphere in the theater gradually heated up, with all sorts of emotions swirling around like a vortex.
"This is not a gimmick. Here is some information for everyone: this saintess comes from a remote planet. The seller spent a huge amount of money to bring her out so that everyone can witness her unparalleled brilliance."
Furthermore, there is one crucial point.
The host's face revealed an inscrutable expression, stirring the hearts of all the viewers.
"She is called a saint not only because of her unparalleled beauty. The reason she is called the Saintess of Nature on her planet is because she has received the blessing of the Creator of Abundance and possesses the power of divine enlightenment."
Upon hearing this, the entire scene fell silent.
The silence, which had been building up, finally erupted into an unbearable uproar.
Some of the important figures who had initially maintained a calm and composed demeanor now revealed a terrifyingly eager look in their eyes.
"We must get her!"
A middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes slammed his hand on the table and instructed his servants to make arrangements.
Elites from biotech companies, dressed in suits, quickly spread the information through communications.
Even in the top few private rooms, a commotion was now taking place.
Seeing that everyone's emotions had been stirred, the host smiled.
Based on his past experience, he judged that today's auction would be an unimaginable success, and he would reap an incredibly rich reward.
Thinking of this, a hint of greed crept into his gaze as he looked at the girl beside him.
Why seal her in the crystal capsule?
A voice suddenly came from the upper-level private room, breaking the atmosphere.
"Oh, esteemed guest, this is because, according to the information provided by the seller, this girl sometimes has difficulty controlling the power of 'Abundance' within her, which can have unpredictable effects on those around her. This is a safety measure."
As soon as these words were spoken, some ordinary people who were still immersed in excitement suddenly calmed down.
If what the host said is true, then this saintess is actually a "Abundant" destiny traveler, and the "Abundant" power she unconsciously brings may be fatal to ordinary people.
Even if they had the ability to control her, it was not something they, as ordinary people, could touch.
But another group of people, such as the big shots looking down from the top of the theater, have a different opinion.
The power of abundance is enough to exert a powerful influence on those around them without their knowledge. What does the power of abundance represent?
Is it physical healing, the elimination of disease, or what countless people at the top of power crave most—longevity?
Whispers circulated among the private rooms, and stakes were steadily being placed on them; an opportunity was on the horizon.
"Such a precious item is hardly worthy of being compared with credits. Therefore, the seller has proposed a special auction method: you will provide your chips through the equipment in your private room, and the seller will personally select the transaction partner."
This kind of transaction wasn't particularly novel, and the room immediately fell silent.
The game and the contest have now sunk underwater, appearing even more dangerous and bizarre than the normal auction process.
"How dare they do that?"
Inside the private room, Yingduo looked at the girl on the screen, a hint of pity flashing in her eyes.
Compared to before, the elfin face in the crystal capsule now lowered its gaze slightly, appearing even more vulnerable.
"Xiao Wu, why don't we charge up together and snatch this holy maiden!"
The heartache instantly turned into anger, and Yingduo glared at Wu Qi.
"Um, Sister Sakura, let's ask the captain for his opinion."
Wu Qi hesitated for a moment, then connected to the communication.
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan and the others had already boarded the aircraft.
After seeing the girl on stage, Lin Yuan noticed that the atmosphere around him was somewhat oppressive.
Upon hearing the question coming through his earpiece, he pondered for a moment and said:
"Get ready, the auction is entering its final stage, and some people in the room might be getting restless. Based on my guess, this girl might be related to our mission objective."
Keep the mission objectives in mind; the rest is up to you.
Hearing the response from the other end, Lin Yuan knocked on the cabin door and watched as the flying car door slowly closed.
It roared to life with the engine, sending gusts of air crashing outwards.
"Captain, I also want to join the battle later."
A female voice came from the side. Lin Yuan turned his head and met Vera's raised eyes.
"you....."
