Chapter 630 - A Sensation in the Entire Wulin! (1/2)
“Even for we Chic Cloud Pavilion, this auction is the top priority.”
When Fang Qiu completely disappeared out of sight, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and then quickly turned to report to his superior.
As to Fang Qiu, after walking out of the Chic Cloud Pavilion, he muttered along the way, “Now, all I’ve got is the useless Newborn Moon Sword. If Long Qiyun had let me hammer it once when he was casting it, this sword would have been a fine sword worth at least a million. What a pity.”
While whispering to himself, Fang Qiu took a taxi and went straight to the airport, preparing to go back to Jiangjing.
In an antique wooden building that was exceedingly luxurious.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
The middle-aged manager, who had received 19 swords from Fang Qiu, came to a door and gently knocked on it.
“Come in.”
A booming voice came from inside.
“Creak.”
When the middle-aged man pushed the door open, what came into his view was not an old-fashioned antique office but the one with easily the most modern interior decorating.
The floor was timber floor, on which lay a desk in simple design, a European-style leather sofa. There were also a TV hanging on the wall and a computer.
At this moment, a man in his 40s was sitting behind the desk, staring at the computer screen.
“Mr. Li.”
The middle-aged manager stepped forward and respectfully looked at the square-faced, refined-looking middle-aged man behind the desk. He was wearing a suit vest and spectacles, and he had a mustache. The manager said, “I have big news.”
This man was Li Zhengcheng, one of the board directors of the Chic Cloud Pavilion. Since the board directors only took part in the major affairs of the company but not the daily management, Li Zhengcheng set up an office of his own. When there was work, he would come to the office. Otherwise, he wouldn’t show up at all because there wouldn’t be a difference anyway.
Besides, Li Zhengcheng was particularly nice to others, so many managers were willing to come to him for reporting work. After all, he was one of the board directors of the company, and he had a say in all the important matters.
“Big news?”
Li Zhengcheng turned his head, glanced at the manager, and asked, “What’s the big news?”
“I just received a commission. I was to auction weapons,” said the middle-aged manager.
“That’s it?”
Li Zhengcheng frowned and said, curling his lips, “Why are you so surprised that someone wants you to sell a few weapons for him? I’m in the middle of reading the duplicates now. I don’t want to be disturbed.”
“Mr. Li, I won’t be surprised if those were ordinary weapons. The point is that the deal I sealed is not on ordinary weapons,” said the middle-aged manager.
“Hum.”
“Well, big deal. Can’t it be arranged in next month’s auction?”
“Mr. Li, how about… you take a guess first? What’s the rank of the weapons my client wants to auction?” The middle-aged manager said with a smile.
“Sixth-class?”
Li Zhengcheng didn’t seem to want to say much. He replied casually while playing computer games.
There was a rule in the Chic Cloud Pavilion.
Only the auction items above the sixth class shall be reported to the board members.
“There are 12 of them!” The middle-aged manager answered.
“Oh?” Li Zhengcheng responded.
Moments later, when Li Zhengcheng was done with the computer game, he withdrew his hand from the mouse and looked at the computer screen with satisfaction. Then, Li Zhengcheng turned his head and asked the middle-aged manager, “How many of the sixth-class weapons did you just say?”
“12!” The middle-aged manager replied.
“What?”
Li Zhengcheng was stunned.
“Two fifth-class swords and 12 sixth-class,” the middle-aged manager repeated.
“So many?” Li Zhengcheng asked in surprise.
“That’s not the end.”
The middle-aged manager’s eyes glinted brightly as he said, “In addition to the two swords in the fifth class and 12 in the sixth class, there are three in the seventh class and one in the eighth class!”
“What?”
Li Zhengcheng stood bolt up, stared at the middle-aged manager in shock, and asked, “Three seventh-class, and one eighth-class?”
Li Zhengcheng was flabbergasted!
How was that possible?
How could anyone bring out so many precious swords?
Aside from the fifth-class and sixth-class ones, how could he also have three seventh-class swords?
Moreover, there was also an eighth-class sword that had not appeared in the martial arts world for decades?
Was, was this a wholesale?
Why did so many precious swords pop out all of a sudden?
Yet, as Li Zhengcheng was still in shock, the middle-aged manager spoke again.
“But that’s not the point!”
The middle-aged manager took a deep breath and went on solemnly.
“What?”
Li Zhengcheng was dazed.
“So these precious swords don’t matter?”
“If this isn’t important, then what is?”
“There’s one last sword.”
The middle-aged manager tried to calm down by taking a deep breath. After slowly exhaling, he said, “The last one is a Guru Sword!”
At this, Li Zhengcheng’s eyes widened.
In an instant, there was a look of disbelief on his face. He stared unblinkingly at the middle-aged manager and was so excited that he began to tremble.
“Take me to see it. Take me to it now!”
