Chapter 1395: Auction
Chapter 1395: Auction
Just as they were about to step onto the stage, Ashley suddenly stopped, her delicate brows furrowing.
"What's wrong?" Su Yu asked quickly.
Ashley turned to him, "Su Yu, let's get this auction over with quickly. I have a bad feeling."
"Bad feeling?" Su Yu raised an eyebrow. "You don't think the fight has already started on Vega, do you?"
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Ashley's wristband suddenly beeped. She opened it and her pupils dilated. "You were right. The fight has already begun."
"Sure enough, the rebels don't waste any time!" Su Yu rubbed his forehead.
"Forget about it. Let's not talk about this." Ashley closed the wristband's screen and pulled Su Yu's arm, flying toward the stage. "We need to sell the items quickly and head back."
"Wait, I have something important to discuss with you," Su Yu said urgently.
There was indeed something else Su Yu wanted to discuss with Ashley. It wasn't that he had forgotten; he had deliberately waited until they were about to step onto the stage, as it would have the best effect.
But Ashley ignored him and didn't stop flying.
"Nothing is more important right now. We can talk about it when we get back to Vega," she said without turning her head.
Su Yu quickly continued, "Wait, it's really important—"
"There's nothing important. We'll talk about it later."
The two of them flew like a gust of wind, quickly reaching the center of the stage.
...
As Ashley and Su Yu appeared, the stands surrounding the stadium erupted into loud cheers:
"Finally, it's starting!"
"Is that Lady Ashley?"
"She's so beautiful!"
"Is the person next to Lady Ashley a human with yellow skin? That's quite rare."
"Is that yellow-skinned human male? I can sense he's male, but his face looks more feminine."
"I heard he's a native of the Milky Way. It's normal for him to look strange."
The audience buzzed with discussion.
The Angerli flying ball stadium could hold nearly a million spectators, and it was currently packed to the brim.
This auction was organized by the Taling authorities, who were responsible for selling the tickets.
Although the auction process was short, lasting only a few minutes, the ticket price was only a third of a top-tier flying ball match. Moreover, it offered the chance to see many stellar-level beings, and most importantly, to witness the "Wings of Leryn," one of the top treasures in the galaxy!
On the day of the sale, over a million tickets were snapped up, and a large number of residents came to see the spectacle.
The entire stadium was buzzing with excitement, and countless eyes were fixed on Su Yu and Ashley.
...
Originally, two hosts stood in the center of the stage, warming up the audience before Ashley and Su Yu arrived.
Seeing the two of them, the hosts' eyes lit up, and one of them immediately picked up the microphone and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, the much-anticipated Lady Ashley and Mr. Su Yu have arrived on the scene! They—"
Before the host could finish his sentence—
Ding!
Ashley raised her hand, and the host was instantly frozen in place.
Ashley steadily flew up from the ground, facing the audience with a serious expression. "Residents of the Taling Hub, hello! I am Ashley from the Vega Hub, and this is Su Yu."
Then she waved her hand, and the Wings of Leryn flew out of her storage space, landing in her hands.
"These are the Wings of Leryn, the energy core of the Dark Energy Rebellion's stellar-level strongman, Leryn. They are genuine," she said calmly.
"Wow!" The audience erupted in exclamations, everyone staring wide-eyed at the wings.
No one expected Lady Ashley to be so direct, pulling out the top treasure without any delay.
Initially, everyone thought the host would talk for a while to build up the atmosphere before revealing the treasure!
Ashley held the wings and spun around, showing them to the audience on all sides.
Then she said, "Let's start the auction.
I just received a notification—just a few minutes ago, our Vega Hub was attacked by the rebellion, and the fight has already begun.
I hope to complete the auction as quickly as possible and return immediately."
Boom!
The moment Ashley finished speaking, the audience erupted:
"What? The fight has already started?"
"So soon!"
"Alas, the second hub to be attacked."
"Go Vega!"
Immediately, a deep male voice echoed across the stadium, "I just received the news as well. The battle on Vega has already begun.
Since that's the case, let's keep things simple and proceed quickly with the auction.
Lady Ashley, I will ensure that the auction proceeds are transferred to your account immediately.
By the Hymn, we in Taling will always stand with the people of Vega!"
"By the Hymn!" the audience echoed, their expressions solemn.
Compared to the Vega Hub, the residents of the Taling Hub had a more genuine connection to the Hymn, and the pain of its disappearance was more profound. Even now, they continued to observe the rituals from the time of the Hymn.
Ashley nodded and said to the male voice, "Thank you, Chairman Angerli. In that case, let's start the auction.
The Wings of Leryn, starting bid at one trillion!"
