Chapter 373 - Chapter 373: Chapter 373: The Meeting Gift (2/2)
“This is the key to a safe deposit box in a Swiss bank. The money inside should be sufficient to purchase this item. Does anyone else wish to compete with me?”
No one else spoke up at the scene, and the item naturally fell into the old man’s hands. However, after making the purchase, like the first elderly man, he presented it to Chen Yu.
The subsequent process held no surprises; everyone bought a treasure and pushed it in front of Chen Yu, as a gift for their first meeting.
After understanding the rules, Chen Yu did not decline and accepted them with equanimity, especially since some of the items were unique treasures from Eastern civilization that had been lost to the outside world.
After the auction of twelve items was completed, everyone began to stand up, and Fox even announced the end of the auction.
It seemed that the auction had been designed specifically for Chen Yu, as a welcoming event.
The crowd then escorted Chen Yu to another room, which was somewhat smaller compared to the previous one, yet it was filled everywhere with gold.
Even the smallest ornaments were crafted from gold.
Most importantly, all the objects were densely inlaid with a variety of gemstones.
Chen Yu couldn’t help but feel somewhat self-mocking. Though he considered himself worldly, in this place, he felt like a newborn baby.
Not to mention the splendor before him, he had never even seen the gemstones that lay scattered on the ground.
After taking a moment to compose himself, Chen Yu sat down like the other old men. Fox entered a code next to him, then took out two test tubes.
“This is the highest secret of the Knights of the Round Table. Inside is said to be two keys that can sway the world, but so far, no one has been able to decipher where the keys truly lie.”
This statement was baffling, and Chen Yu glanced subconsciously, only to find that the test tubes contained a liquid.
He frowned and immediately had the system scan the liquid in the test tubes, but to his surprise, the test tubes were made of a special material. Not even the system could penetrate the glass walls to detect the composition of the liquid inside.
Fox didn’t say much more, only put the test tubes back, then shared the opened code with Chen Yu.
“Young man, now that you are a member of the Knights of the Round Table, there is no need to hide these secrets from you. From now on, you can come and go here as if you were at home, with no one to stop you.”
Chen Yu was filled with curiosity about everything here, especially since he still hadn’t fully grasped the rules of this place.
His eyes shifted slightly, and he suddenly grabbed a handful of gemstones from the ground, stuffing them into his pocket without hesitation.
The rest acted as if they hadn’t seen anything, simply continuing to discuss their own businesses.
Fox approached with a smile and patted Chen Yu on the shoulder.
“Young man, this is the wealth of the Knights of the Round Table. Everyone is entitled to take anything from here. Even if you were to empty this room, it would be fine, let alone taking a few gemstones.”
Chen Yu’s eyes shone with surprise; he hadn’t expected to stumble upon such good fortune.
Considering the number of gemstones and gold here, he could become the world’s richest person in a very short time if he wished.
However, that would only make him the richest person on the surface, not even worth mentioning when compared to any member of the Knights of the Round Table.
