Chapter 32: The Black Market Auction (1)

  Zi Yue was reading a book in her room when she suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door. She opened it to see Xue Yi standing outside with an anxious expression, holding a delicate black card that shimmered with a dark glow and was embedded with a beautiful Manchurian jasmine flower. With Zi Yue's intuition, she guessed at once that it was something related to the underworld.

  "Let's go inside and talk." Zi Yue reminded the excited Xue Yi, leading her into the house.

  "What's wrong? Speak slowly." Zǐ Yuè didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, staring at Xuě Yī, quietly waiting for her next words.

  "The Moon, the Black Way's supreme leader is going to hold an auction, inviting all major gangs of the Black Way, and of course, requiring our attendance." Xue Yi said while waving the invitation card in her hand.

  Zi Yue is not a fool, she knows that this auction is like the Hongmen Banquet, they are the world's number one gang, and many people are eyeing the throne. But seemingly these problems don't seem to faze Zi Yue.

  "When is the auction?" Zi Yue remained calm as ever.

  "It's just tomorrow night."

  "Alright, Xi and the others will definitely go too. We must remember to hide well, bring our masks, and not be recognized." Zi Yue's face remained calm as ever.

  At the same time, Xi, Feng and Yu also received the invitation card from Zizhu. They were worried too, what they were worried about was the same as what Ziyue was worried about. However, what is destined to come will come eventually.

  The next day, Ziyue and Xueyi left the classroom early, of course, after Fang and the others had left, to avoid arousing suspicion. Ziyue and Xueyi were still wearing the same clothes as when they solved the Ghost Gang case, with Ziyue wearing the wristband with many poisonous needles and the whip, and a tight-fitting outfit. However, this was a formal occasion, so wearing a tight-fitting outfit wouldn't do, so Ziyue and Xueyi put on a magnificent evening gown over their clothes outside.

  The car stopped in front of a luxurious villa, where the security was very tight. Several people blocked Ziyue and Xueyi, who were wearing masks, "Please show your invitation card." The tone was icy cold.

  Zi Yue took out the invitation card, and those people let them in. Those people were particularly strict with them, not without reason. Most people dressed themselves up beautifully, but only they two still wore a big mask, making it impossible to guess their facial expressions.

  As they entered the hall, everyone was seated on the sofa, waiting for the auction to begin. The arrival of Zǐ Yuè and Xuě Yī attracted even more attention from the crowd, their masks adding to their air of mystery. Although their faces were hidden, their innate noble bearing still managed to draw everyone's gaze.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, I declare that the auction is now open. I hope you can all bid on something that satisfies you! Our first item up for bidding is a carved..."

  Zi Yue and Xue Yi were about to fall asleep, those things were all a jumble of unrelated stuff to them, they had no interest whatsoever, and they were also deliberately avoiding others, especially Xi and the others.

  "The treasure below is a beautiful necklace, its name is: Bing Feng. Legend has it that this amethyst necklace represents happiness and longevity. The starting price is 10 million. As soon as the purple moon and Xi heard about this necklace, they regained their energy, and both thought of each other. Ziyue thought of that amethyst bracelet, so beautiful."

  "11 million!" Han Seong-hee.

  "12 million!" A certain woman exclaimed.

  "13 million!" A certain woman said.

  "1.5 billion!" Han Seong-hee.

  "18 million." A certain woman said.

  "25 million!" Zi Yue.

  Han Shengxi looked in the direction of Purple Moon and felt a sense of familiarity, momentarily stunned.

  "2.5 billion at once!" The voice echoed in his ears.

  "30 million!" Han Seong-hee.

  "35 million!" Zi Yue.

  "40 million!" Han Seong-hee.

  "50 million!" Zi Yue.

  "70 million!" Han Seong-hee.

  "80 million!" Zi Yue.

  "One hundred million!" Han Seong-hui shouted loudly, and the nearby Pom and Woo were also stunned, seeing Hwi so serious for the first time.

  Zi Yue stared blankly at Xi, no longer opening his mouth to call out a price. "One billion once, one billion twice, one billion three times, sold! Mr. Han, congratulations on getting this treasure."

  Xī took the necklace and looked at Zǐ Yuè, feeling that the figure was so familiar. Seeing Xī's puzzled eyes, Zǐ Yuè hastily pulled up Xuě Yī beside her and walked to a hidden place.
