Chapter 514 - An Auction to remember (Part-1) (1/2)

”Want some?”

Yamamoto gave a small nod as Ryuu handed him a bag of popcorn which he accepted with a smile on his face.

”Thank you.”

Ryuu returned the smile as he spoke out loud, ”I know you all are working but for the moment just relax and have some popcorn, and enjoy the show.”

As Ryuu spoke out loud one by one the bags containing popcorn disappeared from the table as Ryuu looked at the screen in front of him.

Yamamoto stared at the corner of the room as he spoke with a sigh, ”It simply amazes me that they are willing to listen to you after all they are die hard loyal to Her Highness and only listen to her orders.”

Ryuu snorted as he spoke, ”They are listening to me because they have been ordered to do so only when my orders do not clash their orders to protect me.”

Yamamoto looked at the screen in front of him as he spoke with a disappointed look on his face, ”We are spying on them and they have yet to realize it.”

Ryuu nodded as he spoke, ”So true also thank you for the array advisor Yamamoto it is helping us to spy on them.”

Ryuu munched on a fistful of popcorn as he spoke as he bit back a mȯȧn, ”The popcorn made from 'Cumulonimbus Corn' tastes so good it is a great choice Advisor.”

Yamamoto nodded with a happy smile on his face as he spoke, ”So true it simply melts in our mouth and with right spices it tastes heavenly but what this drink that you have brought with Your Highness, it tastes great.”

”Ah, this is something that I found a vendor selling it, it smells like orange but the fizziness of the drink makes it tastes good but it is made with only mundane ingredients if only we could get one suitable for cultivators.”

Yamamoto frowned as he spoke, ”Something worth investing, it would sell well with many of our clients.”

Ryuu nodded as he focused on the screen in front of him, he watched as one by one the guests had occupied their rather posh seats as he spoke with a frown, ”I like those seat designs maybe we can upgrade ours to something similar and then may be put some array on them so that if they pay something extra then they can get massage whenever they wish to.”

Yamamoto stroked his beard with a contemplative look on his face as he spoke, ”Massaging chair where you will have to pay a little bit more for it to work, hmm, we will have to conduct a study on it to see if it is profitable and as for renovating this place we have to see the budget, but at the same time it is inadvisable to copy their design, maybe we can show it to some of our designers so that it might spark some idea in them.”

Ryuu nodded as he spoke, ”We can definitely do that but most importantly the people of Kuvosie certainly have some rather nice artisans.”

Ryuu's eyes then fell on the workers of the auction house as his face gained a look of disbelief as he spoke out loud, ”Advisor if I am not wrong I am watching the workings of an auction house right?”

”It is Your Highness.”

”Then why do their workers look like prȯstɨtutės hired from some brothel.”

Yamamoto simply smiled as he snapped his fingers and the view on the screen changed as it showed Ryuu the interior of the VIP balconies and all he saw was debauchery at its finest.

”Your Highness, many third trashes use these techniques to entice their customers, and all those workers whether they are male or female, are well trained in the art of pŀėȧsurė and seduction, this tactics is such that is not tolerated in Shangri-la and any branch caught practicing such will cause severe actions taken against the superior of that branch.”

Ryuu's face scrunched up as he witnessed the hedonistic and debauchery of the guests only for his eyes to widen as he looked into a particular room as he spoke quickly, ”Advisor the previous room, please show me the room again.”

As Yamamoto showed him the room again a large smile blossomed on Ryuu's face as he spoke, ”My my one of the Queens of the Xia dynasty is having an affair with the acting Patriarch of the JI clan.”

Yamamoto had a look of distaste on his face as he spoke, ”What an unfaithful woman, it is simply so disgusting.”

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, ”From what I know the Emperor is in love with his Empress but the rest of the consorts are from political marriages also from what we know the Emperor and Empress have yet to have any children and the Emperor has vowed that until and unless Empress gives birth to his heir he will not have children with any of his consorts.”

Yamamoto frowned as he spoke, ”I see, I can understand why she is doing such a thing but still it is distasteful we are not like mortals who would die bȧrėly reaching a century, we have long life and female cultivators unlike mortals can still give birth even after millions of years so her actions are still despicable.”

”Actually it is not only her, the rest of the consorts have taken one or a couple of lovers as well, the Emperor is said to be a wise and shrewd man and I would not be surprised if he already knew about it, but is waiting to use it for his gain.”

Yamamoto narrowed his eyes as he spoke, ”You are right Your Highness, the Emperor might be planning something but what will we do about them.”

Ryuu smirked as he spoke, ”Advisor did you not say that array could record as well.”

Yamamoto nodded as he spoke, ”Yes it can.”

”Then do so, but at the same time I do not wish to watch them fornicating so can we change the view to somewhere else.”
