Chapter 409 - John Doe Has Come! (1/2)
Chapter 409 John Doe Has Come!In an office on the top floor of the building of Baoyi Auction House, a middle-aged man in a vest sat at his desk, smoking a cigar and frowning at his computer.
The computer showed He Gaoming’s latest post on Wulin forum.
“Boss.”
A busty woman in overalls, standing at the desk, asked gravely, “Will the evening auction go on or not? There’s an auction that starts at 6:30.”
“Yes.”
The middle-aged man put his cigar in the ashtray and picked up a wet towel from a tray on his desk to wipe his hands, saying, “Not everyone can challenge our auction house.”
Then he let out a cold snort. “Huh.”
…
Fang Qiu and He Gaoming left the hotel, walked into a noodle shop next to the hotel, and ordered a bowl of fried sauce noodles.
He Gaoming was excited because he thought he would finally see the mysterious man’s face. However, even when eating the noodles, the mysterious man still covered his face, his weird mask even covering the bowl.
He Gaoming couldn’t see his face unless he uncovered his mask.
But did He Gaoming dare to do that to the mysterious man?
After eating the noodles, Fang Qiu wiped his mouth, adjusted his mask, and said, “You pay.”
…
“Why?”
He Gaoming was not pleased.
“Because you lost my Earth Treasures,” Fang Qiu said indifferently.
“But I’ve suffered and been hurt,” He Gaoming retorted, pointing to the bruise on his face with one hand and covering his stomach with the other.
“That’s because you’re too weak.”
Fang Qiu had no mood swings.
“That’s because you didn’t teach me!”
He Gaoming was in the mood.
It was a good opportunity for him.
Although he had taken Fang Qiu as his master, it was only on the surface. He did not like the appearance of the relationship, so he thought he must take the opportunity to make it real and get something out of it.
However, when he finished speaking, Fang Qiu ignored him.
“Than we split the bill, okay?” He Gaoming offered helplessly.
Fang Qiu frowned and glanced at He Gaoming.
“Alas.”
He Gaoming smiled bitterly and got up to settle the bill.
Time flew.
It was almost seven o’clock in a twinkling.
Many people on the Wulin forum started to ask.
“It’s almost seven o’clock. Does the mysterious man go to Baoyi Auction House?”
“Has anyone in the capital been to the auction house? Can you broadcast it live?”
“I heard that there was an auction at Baoyi Auction House today. How’s the auction doing?”
“Can those people in Wulin on the scene tell us about the situation?”
At this point, the auction went on full alert.
After all, the mysterious man had openly challenged them, and they had to defend themselves.
…
At seven o’clock, Fang Qiu and He Gaoming showed up at the gate of Baoyi Auction House.
The second floor of the building was the auction hall.
There was an auction going on in the auction hall.
With the arrival of Fang Qiu and He Gaoming, the people in the monitor room of the auction house got suddenly nervous.
The mysterious man came!
Although He Gaoming wasn’t famous, the mysterious man’s clothes really stood out, and no one usually dressed like that. So Fang Qiu and He Gaoming got the attention of the auction house when they showed up.
They walked into the lobby on the first floor side by side.
Without hesitation, they went straight up the spiral staircase to the second floor.
On the second floor, they saw a hall.
The hall was half the size of the one on the first floor.
Across the hall, in front of them was a dark red wooden door, a little primitive. The door, with its gold engraving, looked rather luxurious.
There were two young men on either side of the door.
Both of them wore tuxedos and white silk gloves.
“Hello.”
They didn’t seem to know Fang Qiu and He Gaoming. Seeing two people come up, the two young men immediately came to them with a smile and said, “Sir, the auction has begun. You want to go in now?”
“Nonsense. What am I doing here if I don’t go in?” He Gaoming snapped.
“If you want to go in, please show me the invitation card,” said the young man.
“What’s the invitation card?”
He Gaoming started and said, “We don’t have it.”
“Sorry, Sir.”
The young man quickly explained, “There is something special about this auction. You can’t go in without an invitation card.”
“It’s…”
He Gaoming was embarrassed by the young man’s politeness. He turned to Fang Qiu and asked, “What to do?”
“We are not here to bid. Why do you ask for invitations?” Fang Qiu snorted.
He went straight on, in complete disregard of the two young men.
When he came to the gate, he lifted his leg and kicked.
“Bang!”
There was a loud noise.
Fang Qiu just kicked the luxury gate broken!
The whole gate collapsed.
“Bang…”
