Chapter 1084: Chapter 606: Overturn Chapter 1084: Chapter 606: Overturn “Right, all the renowned families will attend this auction, and so will the family clan you offended. You might even encounter those individuals. Try not to confront them, as it's most crucial to protect yourself,”
the Princess said, worried he might act impulsively and couldn't help but caution him further.
“Rest assured, Princess, I won't cause trouble at the auction house's venue since I still have my eye on certain items,” he replied.
He only mentioned 'at the venue of the auction house', not after leaving the auction house.
The Princess, too, caught his implication but knowing his character all too well and despite opening her mouth, she remained silent, unable to voice her concerns.
Well, let him be, she thought; wasn't it his nature that she had fallen in love with initially?
Finally, with lingering reluctance, she glanced at someone one last time, then withdrew her gaze and let the sedan set off.
Logan, holding the invitation in his hand, curled up the corners of his mouth into a honeyed smile.
Little White, in the space, was somewhat displeased and a bit jealous, complaining.
“Hmph, this invitation was personally sought by the Princess just for you. With such a beauty favoring you, you must be very pleased, right?”
Catching the slight jealousy in the voice, Logan, however, didn't take it seriously.
“Yes, I am quite happy,” he admitted.
This unromantic response frustrated Little White, who huffed coldly and said no more.
Logan was speechless but still managed to soothe Little White with a word or two.
“I don't understand why you're jealous. Regardless of how the Princess feels, she and I are a thing of the past. Her kindness is beneficial to us, and there's no reason to not accept it. Can you get me an invitation?”
Although still dissatisfied, Little White couldn't argue with his logic and remained silent, accepting the situation.
The next day, Logan disguised himself and wore a mask before heading to the auction.
His disguise was not unusual there; after all, many were incognito.
Thus, he blended into the crowd and, with his invitation, smoothly entered the auction venue.
Once inside, he could hear the bustling and lively noise.
Invitations were divided into private box levels and general levels. Don't assume the general level is inferior; even there, it is extremely difficult to secure a spot.
The invitation the Princess gave him was valuable and for the private box level.
Upon entering, he was immediately identified as a VIP customer and was escorted upstairs.
Logan inwardly marveled at the Princess's financial prowess and couldn't help but thank her for her generous gesture, at least sparing him from competing with so many below.
Whether or not he could obtain what he wanted was one thing; it was quite another to be easily exposed in front of everyone.
That would be most unwise.
Upon reaching the private box, beautiful maids served the corresponding tea and snacks.
Logan, seated, found the auction hadn't started yet and could only kill time by observing the scenery outside and listening to others' conversations.
“Did you hear? This auction brought back quite a bounty, especially the final item. I heard many major families are here precisely for the auction's treasures,” one person said.
“No wonder there are many more people today. Looks like we're in for an eye-opener, and even if we can't get anything, just experiencing this opulence is quite an event,” another replied.
“Indeed, who knows how many big families will vie for the objects. Let's hope we can snag something good. The crumbs from these major families could last us a long time,” another chimed in.
Hearing these conversations, a peculiar expression flickered across Logan's eyes.
“It seems this one will be worth the expectation. I guess I came to the right place,” he mused, stroking his chin, a depth crossing his gaze.
As he pondered deeply, a gong sounded outside.
At this sound, nearly everyone fell silent.
Clearly, it signaled the start of the auction, and naturally, nobody dared to cause trouble.
Everyone sat properly, anticipating the following moments.
When the auction began, a woman in red, with a graceful figure, stepped forward.
Her somewhat revealing and flimsy attire accentuated her well-defined curves, and her beautiful face was truly a feast for the eyes, enticing all who looked upon her.
The moment she appeared, many in the audience became restless and whispered amongst themselves.
“That's Eleanor from the Phantom Sonic Room! I didn't expect the Auction House to go all out this time, even bringing Eleanor to host,” someone noted.
“Indeed, the legendary Eleanor; she's extraordinary. Look at those legs, that figure, tsk tsk, if one could taste her charm, it would be worth dying for,” another remarked.
“Oh, keep dreaming! Go on dreaming your foolish dreams. Think you can afford to become one of Eleanor's chosen suitors? First, look at this price. Can you manage it?” one retorted.
“Hey, what are you saying? If I can't afford it, can you?” another snapped.
Before the product was even presented, a small dispute had already started because of the hostess.
However, when Eleanor spoke, mixing her voice with the authority of the Saint Seat Eighth Level,
the people below instantly fell silent, no longer daring to speak rashly.
It was no wonder everyone only dared to fantasize about Eleanor; after all, she was a master not to be trifled with.
When the crowd fell silent, Eleanor's lips curled into a disdainful smile, which she quickly suppressed.
Hah, they are but a bunch of cowards, greedy for life and fearing death.
Eleanor began with some customary opening remarks and soon it was time for the auction.
“Okay, no need for more idle talk. I'm sure you don't like hearing me ramble anyhow. Let's get started,” she announced. “First up, the initial item.”
As she spoke, specialists had already brought up the first item for viewing.
