Chen Feng walked along the corridor displaying various exhibit pictures, as if he were truly appreciating each and every one of them.
Of course, only he himself knows what he is really thinking.
"Sir, you cannot enter here!"
At the end of the corridor, in front of the main hall of the auction, two security guards from the Royal Auction House of the Kingdom of Lorqing reached out and stopped Chen Feng.
It's not targeting Chen Feng; that's the actual auction location, which is not usually open to the public.
"OK, this is my first time here. Could you please tell me where the restroom is?"
Chen Feng smiled and replied, speaking in authentic Lorqing language, which surprised even the local security personnel.
However, after realizing what was happening, she still pointed out the direction for Chen Feng.
“In that direction, sir,” the security guard on the left said, then added, “Are you studying here, sir? Your Lorching language is excellent.”
"Thank you, I'm just here for tourism," Chen Feng replied politely.
After saying that, he walked towards the restroom in the direction indicated by the security guard.
Of course, the two security guards on site did not notice that while they were talking to Chen Feng, a thing the size of a fingernail had already slipped through the crack in the door and entered the inner venue.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have redeemed 1 miniature camera robot, consuming 200 system points.]
Inside the bathroom, he ignored the system's prompts in his mind.
Chen Feng focused intently on operating the small robot and observing its surroundings.
The auction venue was very large, even larger than a small concert hall, and could easily accommodate several hundred people for bidding.
In the center of the venue was a large, semi-circular auction stage, which was separated from the audience seating area by railings and glass.
Furthermore, given the considerable distance between the auction stage and the audience seating area, it would be virtually impossible for someone to appear from the audience during the auction and retrieve "Starlight's Gaze."
In the center of the auction stage, slightly towards the front, there were more than ten glass display cases, which were presumably used to store the auction items.
The thick and sturdy tempered glass enclosure, the heavily protected auction platform, and the professional security personnel present during the auction—all these multiple layers of protection virtually eliminate any potential dangers.
This also nipped those conventional theft methods in the bud.
Looking at his surroundings, Chen Feng pondered to himself, his mind racing, and a plan quietly took shape.
Since conventional methods aren't working, we'll have to try some other approaches...
Chen Feng stayed in the venue for more than an hour until he had a basic understanding of the interior environment before walking through the corridor again and leaving the auction.
Back at the hotel.
Chen Feng drew a simple map of the terrain in his mind, and after marking some important points, he put down his pen.
Looking at his work on the table, Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction:
"Then, the next step is to send out the notice."
……
As night quietly fell, Chen Feng's operation had already begun.
Located next to the Royal Auction House, the rooftop of the tallest building in Krodburg, the residence of the Royal Family of Lorqing.
A white figure suddenly appeared at the edge of the rooftop.
Standing atop the rooftop wall, with one foot outside the wall and a white cloak billowing behind him, he looked as if he might fall from the rooftop, dozens of meters high, at any moment.
squeak-
The door to the rooftop was pushed open.
A little girl, only about 1.2 meters tall, came up in a bathrobe. She looked a little sleepy, rubbing her eyes.
"Ah! You...who are you? Why are you in my house?"
The little girl immediately woke up the moment she saw Chen Feng.
The child stared curiously at the white figure not far away, as if wondering why the person in front of him was on his rooftop.
Chapter 68 I'm just here to deliver a notice.
Seemingly noticing the movement behind him, Chen Feng slowly turned around.
With a light leap, he jumped down from the wall and landed steadily in front of the little girl.
"I'm sorry to bother you. I'm just an uninvited magician, young lady."
Chen Feng squatted down in front of the little girl, a smile on his lips, and snapped his fingers with his right thumb and middle finger interlaced.
The next second, Chen Feng conjured a white lily and presented it to the little girl.
The girl blinked at Chen Feng, perhaps realizing that he meant no harm, before reaching out to take the lilies from his hand.
Just then, a voice came from the balcony door next door.
"Kaylin, didn't you come to see the stars? Who are you talking to?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a mature woman dressed in gorgeous clothes and who looked three parts like Amy appeared at the doorway. Although she was not wearing any makeup, her delicate face was still stunning.
"Mother, there is an older brother here."
Hearing the sound, Xiao Kailin took the flowers she had just received from Chen Feng and ran towards the door behind her.
"Silly child, there's no brother here, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, the woman who came out of the door noticed Chen Feng standing to one side.
A look of astonishment crossed her delicate face: "The... Phantom Thief Kid!"
"It's an honor to meet you, madam."
Chen Feng bowed slightly and presented a white carnation to the woman.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, what has happened?"
Seemingly having heard the commotion, two waitresses quickly ran up.
Upon seeing Chen Feng, they immediately became alert, flanking Little Karin and Queen Finica from the left and right.
"Phantom Thief Kid! What are you doing here?!"
The waitress on the left clearly recognized Chen Feng and immediately questioned him.
Another waitress was also watching Chen Feng warily. There was no doubt that if Chen Feng made any unusual move, they would immediately call for backup.
At the same time, he couldn't help but curse the incompetence of those royal guards, who had managed to let someone infiltrate Krodburg without him noticing.
"Mother, my brother isn't a bad person. He even gave me flowers."
Seemingly noticing the heavy atmosphere, little Karen spoke up.
"Don't talk, Karin. Mother has something to do right now. I'll watch the stars with you later," Queen Finica said softly, stroking Karin's head.
Although she didn't know why her mother and the others were so nervous, little Karen nodded sensibly and didn't say anything more.
"Don't be nervous, ladies. I'm never rude to ladies. I'm only here to deliver a notice."
As he spoke, Chen Feng reached into his pocket and took out a rose with a small white card attached to it.
It seems they finally realized that someone who shouldn't be on the rooftop had appeared.
The area downstairs suddenly became noisy.
Lights came on everywhere, and the stairwell was soon filled with a flurry of hurried footsteps and urgent calls.
"It seems it's time for me to leave, Ms. Finica and... Miss Karin. See you next time."
As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, a puff of white smoke rose from his body and quickly enveloped him.
A few seconds later, when the security personnel rushed up, only the rose with the notice attached was still standing there.
Pushing through the crowd, Finica stepped forward, picked up the rose from the ground, and looked at the card:
As the grand ceremony begins, the seventeenth encounter representing friendship takes place within the disc. The starlight is obscured by the moonlight, and I will appear to take away "The Gaze of Starlight".
— Respectfully submitted by Phantom Thief Kid.
……
As before, Chen Feng would hack into the live stream system at the same time as issuing the announcement letter, and put the pre-prepared announcement letter image into the live stream.
The internet exploded again, with countless media outlets rushing to write reports.
Just one week later, Chen Feng issued another announcement, this time targeting the royal collection of the Luoerqing Kingdom, specifically the ring that would be the grand finale of the royal auction—Starlight's Gaze.
Chen Feng has appeared in Galcher, the capital of the Kingdom of Lorqing, and another battle between the phantom thief and the kingdom is about to begin!
[Has the ever-successful phantom thief met his match this time? The royal family of the Kingdom of Lorqing declares they fear no threats and the auction will proceed as planned!]
"No, what's going on with me, Feng Shen? I just finished performing at a magic exchange event organized by someone's daughter, Amya, and now I'm sneaking into someone's house?"
"It doesn't seem like a raid. I heard that the reason the royal family of Lorqing Kingdom put the Starlight Gaze up for auction was to choose a fiancé for Amya from among the auction participants, and Amya seemed to be very reluctant."
"Holy crap! Really? If you say that, I'm going to start spreading rumors!"
"Of course it's true, buddy! Amy's father, the king of Lorqing, said it publicly before!"
"In that case, this matter becomes quite intriguing..."
……
at the same time.
After receiving news that Chen Feng had sent another notice, Su Luoxue quickly led the pursuit team to Gerchi, the capital of the Kingdom of Lorqing.
After communicating with the royal family of the Kingdom of Lorqing, they successfully persuaded them to allow the pursuit team to enter the auction venue, thereby stopping Chen Feng's actions and even arresting him!
The auction venue.
Inside the monitoring room.
Su Luoxue and the others are reviewing all the surveillance footage from the auction over the past few days.
Intending to search for any suspicious figures.
Unfortunately, after reviewing the case several times and listing a large number of suspicious individuals, all of them were rejected after only a brief investigation.
In summary, after a period of busy work, the pursuit team still found nothing.
