The Invincible Corruption Manual
15 CHAPTER 14 : The auction began
" Senior Bojing, thank you," Joey said to him while clasping his palms to him.
Bojing scratched his head shyly, looked at Chao, and said, " Hee hee hee. Big brother, why are you in Glory city? I hear that your team is in the palace. "
" My team is assigned a mission at Xinjiang Tianshan forest. We passed by the Glory city and decided to stay here for tonight ." Chao told him.
" Oh, how are my nephew and niece? I haven't seen them for 10 years. Ahh, I really missed them a lot ." Bojing asked him.
" Good that you still remember them. They are fined. You must get back to the palace, marry a girl and settle down there. Look at yourself. What happens to your charismatic look before. " Chao told him.
Then the two brothers had their happy reunion. They chatted while Joey and Kun came up to the old man's side.
" Hello grandpa. " Joey greeted him.
" Oh! Young master, do you have anything to ask this old man? " The old man asked.
" Can I get some tickets for tonight's auction here in the People's market? " Joey asked him.
" Auction! Oh, you are in luck, young master. I happen to know a place. " The old man said with a smile.
Afterward, Chao and Bojing also came back to their side.
" Senior Chao, I think we can get the ticket here. " Joey said.
" You mean tonight's auction! Big brother, I hear from this old man that a black Deldrimor Steel will appear there. Brother, can you buy it for me? I can upgrade your longbow and arrows with it. " Bojing jumped up toward him like a monkey and pestered him like a kid.
" Stop using those tricks. I will not fall for it anymore. " Chao retorted while pushing him away.
" Senior Bojing, I will buy that for you. " Joey abruptly said to him. Then Bojing was all smiles and said, " Good then. "
They took their leave with the old man while Bojing entered back to his stall and started making the longbow.
Actually the tickets they sold here came from an illegal source. They walked toward another alleyway and thereby met a cautious-looking man.
" Old man, why do you bring strangers here? " The man asked and stared at them suspiciously.
" Wang, it is alright. They are with me. Do you still have the auction tickets with you? " The old man told him.
" Auction tickets, I still have them. 100 silver coins for a hall ticket, 2k silver coins for a balcony ticket, and 100k silver coins for a VIP ticket. No negotiation. " The man said coldly.
" Give 15 balcony tickets and a VIP ticket. Also, if you give me your card, I will transfer the money now. " Joey said to him.
The man took out an orange color card, giving it to Joey.
Then, Joey transfers the exact amount from his purple card to the card using his essence qi. Then, Joey gave it back to him while nodding his head.
The man checked the orange card, took out the tickets from his space card, and gave it to him.
" I can give you a piece of advice for our transaction. The four great families will be attending today's auction. Don't try to act rich there or you will not know how you will .... " The man took his leave without finishing his statement.
" The four great families hah. Now, it will be more interesting than I expected. " Joey said to himself with a smirk on his face.
Afterward, they all went back and gathered at their said spot.
" Boss, can we leave now or we may miss the chance to get tickets, " Xiaobo said.
" We already have the tickets. Now, we should go check with the headquarter of the Hall of fortune. " Joey told them. ( The auction will also be held at their headquarters .)
Then, they rode back on their horses and traveled toward the northern highway.
It was almost dark when they reached the building of the Hall of Fortune. The building had four floors. It looked like those in canon city ( imitation ). The gate was already opened when they came. They entered and kept their horses in the stable beside the gate.
Afterward, they walked toward the entrance of the building.
" Hello, sirs. Are you all guests for today's auction? " A well-dressed lady came out and asked politely ."
" These are our tickets. Can we go in now? " Joey showed her those tickets.
Then another lady came out and received them warmly.
" Gentlemen, please come this way. The auction was about to begin," She said while taking all the tickets from Joey.
" As from your tickets, fifteen can go that way while the remaining three people can go to a VIP room," She explain and pointed at the staircase.
Fifteen of them walked toward the direction she pointed leaving only Joey, Chao, and Kun. Afterward, they too entered a room on her led. When they entered the room, a girl was inside the room greeting them.
They then sit at the chairs near the viewing wall of the room. The wall looked like some sort of black glass. From there they could see the platform below clearly.
The girl brought a plate with three glasses containing wine on it and placed it on the side table. The three picked up and drank slowly.
Suddenly a hunchback old man with white hair walked up to the platform with a cane in his right hand and held the handbell in the other hand.
He announced, " Welcome everyone! The auction will begin now ."
Then he rang the bell in his hand.
A tall beautiful woman walked out to the center of the platform and she bowed slightly to the old man. The old man nodded at her with a smile.
Joey looked at her and recognized who she was. She was the waitress that served them at the motel today.
He thought deeply and said softly, " Oh! Hahaha. She is the motel's owner. Her name and that motel's name are also the same. "
At the same time, Xiaobo tried to shout out loud. " Hey girl, what are you doing he..... ". Xiaoli beside him quickly covered up his mouth.
" Shut up! Damn fatty. Don't you see she is the auctioneer? " Xiaoli scolded him.
" It is Miss Chu Hua! " Someone exclaimed with adoration from the balcony.
" Miss Chu, I love you. "
A series of praise and adoration followed afterward.
" Silence! Everyone might know the rules of the auction here. I will explain in short again. " The old man shouted.
" Firstly, a reserve price will be made for each item we bring out. Secondly, every next bidding will be incremented by at least 500 silver coins. Lastly, no fighting inside the auction hall. " He explained. Then he gave the bell to miss Chu and excused himself.
Chun Hua rang the bell. Then the two men came up to the platform carrying a long wooden cage.
" Ladies and gentlemen, our first item is an antique weapon excavated from the eastern red ocean," She said. She waved her hand at the two men with style.
The two men opened up the cage, a ragged longbow can be seen inside.
" Don't be judged by its look. Our top 4th level armament master researched this bow for a whole 5 years but came with nothing. It was marked as a strange bow from then on. " She further explained.
