Secondly, the other party’s background was still unclear.
Additionally, my main purpose this time is to obtain the mysterious Ancient Chest. So, as long as I befriend these two people and establish an initial relationship, it would be worthwhile.”
Just as Leo Ray was thinking about this, the crowd around him began to move towards the front corridor.
Without a doubt, the auction was about to begin.
Without hesitating, Leo Ray and Kelsey stepped forward and followed the flow of people.
“So soon? I didn’t have time to taste those red velvet cakes and pineapple buns…
From the side, Scarlett, who had been stuffing her mouth like a little hamster, frowned slightly.
Before leaving, she looked at the long dining table in front of her with regret and sighed softly.
“Since you left the Trading Conference this morning, your mouth hasn’t stopped moving. You even had lunch, I don’t know where you put it all.” Leo Ray shook his head helplessly and gave her a once-over.
In this way, under Kelsey’s guidance.
Leo Ray, Scarlett, and the three subordinates under the invisibility cloak went directly into the VIP passage with fewer people, heading straight for the auction hall.
During this process, Leo Ray also met Clyde Thompson and some other unfamiliar nobles, who also entered the VIP passage.
However, since Leo Ray’s party had already changed their appearances and their numbers were different,
naturally, the other party couldn’t recognize them. After casting a fierce glare at Kelsey, they left immediately.
Of course, Stella Clark, who had been keeping an eye on the others, followed them closely.
As for Clyde Thompson’s vice-chairman father, he was also on his way, having been informed by Serena Clark.
Next, following the luxurious red carpet.
Not long after, a lavishly decorated circular hall came into Leo Ray’s sight.
Upon closer inspection, whether it was the large crystal chandelier inlaid with Light Crystal Stones, the exquisite landscape wall carvings on the marble walls, or the white stone columns and figurines used for decoration on both sides.
Everywhere exuded a sense of opulence and extravagance.
“Lord, the entrance to the auction house is up ahead.”
Immediately after, Kelsey’s crisp voice sounded in Leo Ray’s ear.
At the end of the hall, a huge door was already open, and both sides were lined with beautiful Trading Conference ceremonial staff. Each of their faces was brimming with bright smiles.
“It’s no wonder that only nobles and wealthy merchants can enter this place.”
Amongst the crowd, Leo Ray looked at the row of young women with exquisite makeup, revealing outfits, and graceful figures, and nodded slightly without taking a second glance.
Without a doubt, if it had been in his past life, Leo Ray’s eyes would have probably popped out of their sockets.
But now, for someone who could casually spend millions of Gold Dragons, this obviously wasn’t a big scene anymore.
After entering the interior of the auction house, Leo Ray noticed.
At this moment, the surrounding light dimmed immediately, just like entering a movie theater.
At first glance, this underground auction house was incredibly huge, with a circular layout.
There were a large number of seats, densely packed and neatly arranged, dividing the hall into two areas.
The back row had theatre-like seats.
The seats in the front row were sofas with tables.
In the center was an auction stage with an appropriate height.
As for the most eye-catching feature of the hall, it was the dark blue dome overhead.
On it were rows of shining Light Crystal Stones, beautifully arrayed.
However, due to the vast size of the hall, the radiance of each Light Crystal Stone becomes extremely limited.
It looks like a starry sky, twinkling and dazzling, giving people a sense of exhilaration.
“Lord, please watch your step and follow me,” Kelly’s gentle voice rang in Leo Ray’s ear again.
Thus, following the spacious staircase all the way down, the three of them finally stopped at the second-row seats near the front auction stage.
This position was carefully discussed between Leo Ray and Kelly beforehand.
From here, he could clearly see the auction items on stage and, being in the second row, his seat would not be too conspicuous – it was perfect.
Looking at the luxurious velvet sofa in front of him, Leo Ray slightly bent down and sat down.
Scarlett, sitting not far from Leo Ray, was curiously looking around.
In the spacious and comfortable space, Leo Ray felt the soft touch of the luxurious sofa while looking at the exquisite champagne, mouth-watering fruits, and pastries placed on the round table in front of him.
Leo Ray’s gaze fell on the noble families and businessmen who were gradually sitting in the rows behind him, looking somewhat crowded. He couldn’t help but sigh.
It must be said that in this sword and magic parallel world, the privileges he enjoyed as a high-ranking nobleman were intoxicating.
“Lord, I will excuse myself for a while,” Kelly approached and whispered respectfully.
Without a doubt, the once arrogant and hot-tempered young lady had become docile as a rabbit in front of Leo Ray.
“Go ahead,” he waved his hand casually, his gaze falling back on the crowd who were taking their seats.
First to be seated, Tina, the leader of the Blue Rose Knights, and several Tier 3 Powerhouses clad in knight attire.
Her seat was in the third row of the box area, just to the left rear of Leo Ray.
At this distance, Leo Ray could clearly see the crystal necklace that Tina wore around her slender neck.
Then, Layne, the leader of the Broken Blade Knights, sat down.
His team composition was almost identical to Tina’s.
Moreover, there was a box seat between the two of them; the moment Layne took his seat, Leo Ray heard two disdainful snorts from behind him.
This action caused the Tier 2 Peak-level obese nobleman seated between them to shudder, hastily taking a sip of the champagne on the table to calm his nerves.
“As expected, the relationship between these two knights is far from harmonious.”
Leo Ray noticed this and smirked.
As for Mason Banks, Abigail, and Amelia, they were seated in the fifth row, in the last box area, diagonally across from Leo Ray.
And so, after about twenty minutes,
Under the slightly dim light, all the nobles around Leo Ray took their seats, filling the spacious venue to the brim.
Ding-ling-ling.
A crisp and pleasant wind chime sound rang out.
Immediately, an upright figure, embraced by several etiquette personnel, slowly emerged from the unique underground passage in the middle of the auction stage.
There was no doubt; the auction was about to begin.
Seeing this, Leo Ray perked up and his face couldn’t help but reveal a hint of anticipation..
