Chapter 651: Chapter 678: Indeed Too Small
It can be said that the previous gambling rounds were planned to be ten in total, as a warm-up for the stone gambling auction.
But Lin Xiâs flawless identification has left everyone feeling unsettled!
Theyâre not fools. A billion lost in plain sight â isnât a billion money!
Moreover, their time is precious and canât be wasted here.
So, moving to the auction phase is good news for them, and the auction itself is their main goal for coming today.
The middle-aged man in the middle row looks and feels like heâs not a good person.
At this moment, he has a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.
"Old five, old six, why havenât they reported back? Could something have gone wrong?"
Yes, heâs the one who ordered his men to kidnap Shangguan Hong.
But since just now, heâs sent several messages like stones thrown into the sea, with no response at all.
And it baffles him since Shangguan Hong sneaked out alone, without the Shangguan familyâs experts, who are mostly at the auction.
With old five and old sixâs skills, unless they encounter a King of Soldiers, they should be fine.
Thus, this task should have been easy.
But what shocked him was not only the lack of updates from his men but also that he felt himself targeted by two King of Soldiers at the entrance.
The Shangguan familyâs two King of Soldiers at the door are much stronger than him.
After all, heâs only at the beginner King of Soldiers level.
The reason for wanting to kidnap Shangguan Hong is because thereâs something at this auction that he urgently needs.
And given that many people would want to bid for it, his financial ability makes it hard to obtain, or more accurately, the chances of success are extremely low.
"What to do? I canât even get out now and Iâm completely trapped here!"
At this moment, he suddenly turned his head and saw Shangguan Hong sitting in a corner, which instantly gave him an idea, "Got to find a chance to sneak over and kidnap him."
"By then, getting out wouldnât be a problem anymore!"
If Shangguan Hong knew his thoughts, heâd laugh to death!
Because his brother-in-law is right beside him. Coming over would just lead to quicker death!
Nearby, an ordinarily dressed aunt, yet possessing the prowess of a King of Soldiers.
At the same time, no one has noticed she has glanced several times at Lin Xi in a seemingly normal posture, one thatâd make anyone unaware of any anomaly.
"Is this Ding Yueqiu, the Lin Xi who failed at his task?" she mused, "Better find an opportunity to eliminate him, canât let him ruin our Dark Dragon clubâs flawless reputation."
Of course, the flawless reputation she referred to didnât mean every assassin successfully accomplished their mission, but if it couldnât be completed, stronger assassins would be sent until it was done.
Thus, their Dark Dragon club became the worldâs number one assassin organization, invoking fear in every person globally aware of them, excluding top-tier experts like Lin Xi.
At this very moment, Shangguan Nishang picked up a jade on the tray brought by staff, a piece whose brightness and allure rival diamonds â yes, duck egg-sized and pink.
"Imperial jade!!!" many gasped in surprise.
This treasure is exceptionally rare and one of the most precious among jade gemstones.
Whoâd have thought such an item appeared right as the auction began, what about the items later â wonât they be even more anticipated!
"Itâs a bit small!" Lin Xi couldnât help but comment upon seeing the imperial jade in Shangguan Nishangâs hand.
And indeed the Shangguan Hong on his right felt his brother-in-law had a point and said, "It is small!"
Zhao Ritian looked dumbfoundedly at the two, such a large imperial jade, yet they said itâs small?
Have they seen even larger ones?
But on second thought, this kind of item is purely by chance, not everyone gets to see it â completely based on luck.
