Chapter 291 “The holy maiden” (Part two)

As Du Wei was thinking all this, that Dupont once again snuck solances at him; however, those only lasted for a briefaway his eyes in a panic, that master Dupont didn't look back

Displeased by this cowardly act, Du Wei openly glared at the guy and refuses to turn away, sending bolts of disco master

As this aard standoff went on for a while, a gradual i this won't do, the steward behind this younggesture at Du Wei

Precisely at this e for the auction went up to the pedestal, indicating the beginning of the event

Changing into black formal attire, this steward of Du Wei's appeared old hahed a couple of ti the audience's attention: ”Thank you everyone for coin the event, please keep your voices down”

As he finished, Zack then bowed at the audience before turning to one of the tables behind him

In the past when the auction house was first established, Zack would personally preside over the auctioning bids But following that, he became lazy and left it to the professional staffs in which he trained for the job However, today's different He can't entrust the job to anyone else while so

Nowadays, Zack was a rather well-known figure a the elite circle of the capital for he's the representative of the Tulip household while Du Wei's away Seeing Zack's announcement, those noisy conversations immediately disappeared

”Everyone,” Zack coughed then in First off, I like to welco to our Tulip auction house Without further ado, the first item for today is…”

Zack began with the introduction of several goods, all of which were expensive jewelry, or valuable products ic beast The ht Arold

Naturally all of these things would be popular in the past, but today, Du Wei can see the crowd below didn't holdthe couple of feing for some of the finely crafted jewels exhibited today

Then when Zack's introduction got to the scroll containing the decree frohtening their neck, the crowds all had a serious look in their eyes

With that out of the way, the auction was truly starting

The goods in the front didn't make much waves and went by very smoothly Perhaps it's because of the special circumstance of today's event, there were little interest and caused the selling price to be very low Watching this outco a little sad because the one losing out was him If the auction house earns less, it means he will earn less

Before long, the early iteone within a meal's worth of time This pace was much faster than usual and didn't look well for Du Wei's business

At the end when the Pope's decree finally came up, Zack had to first wipe the sweat fro his throat he began: ”Ladies and gents, we are going to carry out the last piece of today's…” He wanted to say ”goods” but found the wording disrespectful towards so like the Pope's personal pro, he can only vaguely let this sentence slide and continue: ”Everyone knows, the Pope is kind and compassionate For the victims of the south, his majesty will donate all the proceeds earned today to those affected by this year's disaster First let us thank the Pope for his gracious heart and lory of the Goddess bless upon his majesty”

Not falling behind, everyone hurries to make a solemn and sacred face

Pausing at this part, Zack lets the audience have a : ”Well then… I hereby declare, under the coned by the Pope hi price and is open to all ishes to bid Please go ahead now”

When this last sentence came out, the whole audience fell into a deadly silence instead ofa commotion

Even after a good while, the dozens of dignitaries present only looked at each, atteure out their peers' intention

Taking this in, Du Wei can't resist sighing at the sight

For those who are loyal to the royal fae to bid for this As for those siding with the Temple, these people are without a doubt here to stir up trouble,

Finally…

“Five hundred thousand”

The first person to call was ain one of the back rows on the first floor Tall and thin with lavish looking clothes, Du Wei can tell this man hailed from the south

Winking at the attendant next to hi the details into Du Wei's ear: ”Duke… I've never seen this e; there are a lot of unfamiliar faces today”

Making a ers also allowed into the auction house?”

This attendant lowered his voice again: “Umm, half the seats are usually fixed, but there are some that are openly sold to the public Our auction is only conducted on a monthly basis so the tickets are always sold within weeks before the scheduled date And in the blackresold for ridiculously high prices I'h that channel”

Nodding, Du Wei didn't say more

Following the start of the bidding, the price quickly soared to a million after the first offer

Du Wei was utterly surprised by this… Are these people not afraid of dying? To coax the price of this thing would be akin to fighting the royal family! Are these people messed up in the head?

But Du Wei didthe prices are all unfa in the capital remained silent on the side

When the price reached the million ht, Du Wei understands now These unfamiliar faces are clearly sent by the Te with a southern accent, they are extremely suspicious

Hesitating for a moment, Du Wei was just about to make his own call when a voice came from the corner: ”A million and two hundred”

Peering over, Du Wei saw that the man responsible was a typical wealthy businessman of the capital

As soon as this man called the price, another person with a southern accent raised it to one and a half million

Then the lance at one of the box roo Du Wei, the direction of the merchant's eye was aimed at Taklanshan and Biliaibuer's VIP box
