89 Magnificent Jewel Hall (2/2)
Therefore, the boxes in Magnificent Jewel Hall had long become a unique status symbol!
Hardly anyone were added to this exclusive guest list.
From the outside, the Magnificent Jewel Hall seemed to be interested only in money-making, and disinterested in political affairs. However, if any criminals were to escape to the Magnificent Jewel Hall hoping to receive protection, they would have been delusional! The Magnificent Jewel Hall would just have them tied up and arrested immediately, saving the officials’ time and effort in tracking down the criminal. Regardless of whether one was right or wrong, as long as one tried to barge into the Magnificent Jewel Hall, one would be considered stirring trouble and that would be a serious offence!
Jun Mo Xie looked intently at the large wide gates leading to the Magnificent Jewel Hall. Although Jun Mo Xie had never set foot in there, he knew very well that auctions were held almost every day at the Magnificent Jewel Hall. But the truly valuable items were only auction there once a month.
And it happened to be that very special day today!
The Magnificent Jewel Hall would always be extremely lively during this period.
The most unusual characteristic about the Magnificent Jewel Hall was the items that it auctioned. Almost nobody knew the origin of these items and nobody had ever seen the Magnificent Jewel Hall perform any form of trade or acquisition of these items. It had never ran any pawn businesses either. All the items there seemed as though they were produced by the Magnificent Jewel Hall itself! This was certainly a puzzling question which no one had been able to answer yet.
Fatty Tang seemed to be familiar with the place as he received greetings from several people at the Magnificent Jewel Hall. Jun Mo Xie appointed one of his guards to stay at the entrance to retrieve the additional money from the guard he had sent home earlier, and turned to follow Tang Yuan closely.
As Jun Mo Xie proceeded on, he suddenly frowned.
”This Magnificent Jewel Hall was truly extraordinary!”
From the moment he stepped into the hall, he had felt spiritual awareness sweeping through him at least five or six times, inspecting his whole body and searching every part of it! Jun Mo Xie’s heart started racing! According to his speculations, the cultivation of all those experts were surely nothing less than the Jade Xuan Qi level!
And this was only a preliminary inspection within the Magnificent Jewel Hall!
Suddenly, two groups of people appeared behind Jun Mo Xie. All of them emitting a similar dark murderous aura which Jun Mo Xie himself could not have mistaken! In addition, a strong tension existed between these two groups of people, as though they were confronting each other on the battlefield! Jun Mo Xie gathered that these two groups of people were definitely not allies.
He shared the similar profession as them, or rather, he used to be.
Jun Mo Xie continued walking on. Tang’s family box was just a flight of stairs above. Just as he was walking up the steps, Jun Mo Xie suddenly seem to lose balance and staggered along the steps. He took this opportunity to throw a quick glance at the two groups of people behind him. He saw them walking in a different direction, splitting into two groups of three. One group entered a box covered by a curtain embroidered in a golden tulip flower, while the other group went towards a different box, and disappeared quickly behind a black curtain embroidered with a white snow lotus.
At this point in time, the hall was already extremely packed, but everyone was seated comfortably and the atmosphere was harmonious and peaceful. A waiter walked around with a tray, serving the guests. Despite the huge crowd, the hall was extremely quiet. Everyone was well aware of the situation and knew they should stay far from causing any havoc inside the Magnificent Jewel Hall.
Inside the Tang’s family box, Jun Mo Xie looked across at his own Jun’s family box. It had a white curtain with a blood-red blooming orchid flower embroidered on it. He could not help but smile. Ever since the Jun family had bought this box, the Jun family had entered it only two or three times. He wondered what Grandfather was thinking. He had always submitted the fees on time and kept the box till now. It seemed he really held the Magnificent Jewel Hall in high regard.
”To whom do those two boxes belong to?” Jun Mo Xie asked Tang Yuan causally while pointing at the boxes which the two suspicious groups of people had disappeared into.
