The ancient auction house has existed for a long time that people can’t remember clearly. When the setting sun shines with its afterglow on the roof of the Gothic building, a desolate mystery quietly spreads in the air, and the dark space
In the dark, various types of stone carvings on the building appear even more tranquil and magical.
This auction house has auctioned Leonardo da Vinci's "Madonna of the Rocks" and "Virgin and Child with Saint Anna"; it has also auctioned Picasso's "Gourmet" and many oriental treasures. However, four years ago, it was sold to a mysterious person.
After the character bought it, he became a taboo at night in Las Vegas.
During the day, it continues to receive some serious auction items for auction here, but every last Saturday at the end of the month, a completely dark auction will be held here. Here you can exchange intelligence, arms, women and even drugs from various countries.
When night falls, this place is not like other corners of Las Vegas, which can’t wait to flash neon lights to attract people’s attention. Instead, it deliberately maintains rare silence in the dark.
Anyone who is close to the auction house during this period must undergo strict screening. Only VIPs with invitation cards can successfully pass through the strict inspections and enter the underground auction room of the auction house. If you want to force your way in, no one will know.
End, because so far no intruder can appear in the sun again. Even the police in Las Vegas do not patrol here, it has its own king and laws.
The underground store is divided into two floors. The first floor has more than 100 scattered buyer positions around the auction table; the second floor has 12 special boxes, usually for buyers or sellers with special and distinguished status.
. At this moment, the seats on the first floor are basically full. Most people are holding an auction list in their hands, and some people have begun to study the auction items on the list among themselves.
Tong Qing booked the third box on the right side of the second floor. Take the elevator down to the lobby of the underground auction house, and there will be someone to guide you all the way into your box. The box is decorated in the style of an antique European opera house.
The magnificent splendor highlights the "nobleness" of the traders here. The door is separated by tight dark green curtains, and the whispers behind each curtain are like the breath of the devil in the night. This is originally the devil's trading market.
Two tall men opened the curtain, and their steady footsteps made no sound on the black velvet carpet. One after another, they elegantly sat down on the leather chairs in the box.
Tong Qing picked up the auction list on the table in front of him, read it over, and began to complain:
"There are seven auction items on the list provided by arms dealers. Qinglong did not explain the specific items. How can we determine which one it is?"
"Don't be anxious." Geng Yuhuai soothed, his dark eyes showing no emotion.
Qinglong is the only leader among the six people, and his orders, whether they are right or wrong, have no room for gimmickry.
As the hourglass on the auction table was completely drained, the shadowless spotlights on the auction table were fully turned on. The auctioneer came onto the stage with the first auction item, and the auction officially began.
Time passed by minute by second, and on the auction stage on the first floor, the voices of bidding were heard one after another. One by one, the auction items also found their buyers at different prices. However, neither Geng Yuhuai nor Tong Qing touched the table.
The bidding button. These auction items are obviously not their purpose. There are 17 items in the auction this time, and 15 items have been sold. The last two items are left. It seems that the things Qinglong wants are those two items.
The same.
"What do you think it is?" Tong Qing folded his feet on the table in front of him and stretched out comfortably. It is much easier to choose one of the two than to choose one of the seventeen.
Geng Yuhuai said nothing, his eyes were attracted by the auction items pushed on the stage.
A woman, a beautiful woman. Although her hair was disheveled and she was only wearing a white robe, she looked quite embarrassed and frightened. But her fair skin was breakable and her eyes were still clear, bright and stubborn in the darkness.
Still, Geng Yuhuai recognized this woman at a glance.
——The language of flowers! If I remember this name correctly.
Why is she here?
Thousands of miles away, she actually appeared in front of him again in this way.
"This is the auction item entrusted by Auctioneer No. 9 - a rare oriental beauty! The base price is 500,000." The auctioneer is no stranger to the auction population. In this devil's trading market, auctioning off dozens of women is nothing new.
For many customers, after spending a lot of money to buy the items they need, the best enjoyment is to soothe their nerves with a beautiful woman. The auction house also considers the needs of these customers in a humane way. Such small episodes are often inserted into the auction.
.
Hua Yu stood on the auction stage with a pale face. Everything in front of her now turned into a nightmare. She would rather die a thousand times than face such a scene. But she had no ability to escape. In the darkness, she finally became
The victim of others.
The looks in the eyes of these men in front of her made Huayu tremble inexplicably, like wild beasts in the forest staring at their prey, ready to attack at any time. The greedy, obscene looks seemed to tear her flesh apart and swallow her bones alive. Standing on the stage,
It seems like I have been deceived. In the 21st century, society seems to be fair and legal on the surface, but such dirty transactions still exist in the darkness.
"Is anyone bidding?" the auctioneer shouted to the crowd. These greedy men were drooling at the sight, but no one bid.
"It's just a woman, the base price is 500,000? Does she have this value?" Someone in the crowd laughed loudly. We are used to seeing all kinds of gimmicks in auctions, so if we don't take the opportunity to have fun, I'd be sorry for the huge sum of money we just spent.
