Chapter 33: Horace family

It was said that this auction was hosted by the Horace family.

In this parallel world, the Horace family was a real big family.

The Horace family had a long history and had developed in America for an unknown period of time. Their network of connections was even more shocking. Their people were involved in the business world, the political world, and the military world. The Horace family had great, and they were truly in control of the world.

Therefore, with the Horace family backing the auction, could become a guarantee for Lin Neng’s safe departure.

…

Looking towards the Lahn Tavern at the end of the street, Lin Neng put on the mask and quickly changed into a black robe.

The wide robe covered Lin Neng’s thin and small figure. Due to some fillings, he now looked very bloated. Even if someone who was dearest to Lin Neng appeared right in front, it would be difficult to recognize him without listening to his voice.

After covering his body, Lin Neng let out a sigh of relief. He couldn’t be blamed for being too careful. The last time he was in the red bar, he was suspected by the police after the incident, and now, Lin Neng still has yet had that power to go against a country.

In order not to bring unnecessary trouble to himself, Lin Neng could only do this. After all, there were still some gifted in this world who weren’t known by ordinary people. It wasn’t wrong to be a little more cautious.

Lin Neng held the mask onto his face and slowly left the hotel, headed to the Lahn Tavern.

When he reached the door, a few armed guards looked at Lin Neng warily. However, he didn’t panic and swaggered into the tavern.

As soon as he entered the tavern, the hot feeling felt as if being stripped off from one’s own body. The cool feeling made one feel as if they were in two different worlds.

Looking at the magnificent hall in front of him, Lin Neng could only sigh once again, “Really f*cking rich!”.

“Sir, are you here to participate in the black market auction tonight?” An attendant revealed a professional smile as he asked Lin Neng.

“Uh yeah!” Under the mask, Lin Neng let out a hoarse voice which travelled into the ears of the attendant beside him.

“Okay! Please follow me to prove your assets. After proving your assets, I will take you to the auction hall.”

The two of them passed through the magnificent hall and walked towards the room at the side. On the door of the room, there were words written, “Asset room”.

Pushing the door, the room was a little empty, only a young man was leaning on the table and swiping his phone out of boredom. Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the young man looked up at the two of them.

“Bill, you are slacking off again!”

“Hurry up and appraise this gentleman’s assets!” The attendant beside Lin Neng said to the young man in a somewhat disappointed manner.

“I’m sorry for such an embarrassing moment, Sir!”

“Please provide me with your bank card or other proof of assets!” The attendant who had just finished lecturing the young man turned his head and revealed a professional smile as he spoke to Lin Neng.

Lin Neng looked at the attendant who was rapidly changing his expression and exclaimed in his heart, “Good fellow!”

Lin Neng’s hand was not slow either as he handed over his ‘salary card’.

A moment later, the attendant took the bank card from the young man and handed it to Lin Neng. He smiled and said, “Sir, the asset appraisal has been completed. Now, I will bring you into the hall!”.

Under the attendant’s lead, Lin Neng walked into the ongoing auction.

After entering, the bright surroundings dimmed and bursts of noise were overwhelming. Lin Neng, who originally liked peace and quiet, frowned.

The auction venue was large, even larger than the scale of the Lahn Tavern. It was not difficult to accommodate thousands of people. At this moment, a beautiful woman in a red dress was in the spotlight of the auction venue.

She was using her enchanting voice that made one’s bones tingle to decipher the function of the item in her hand for everyone in the room.

Under the woman’s enchanting voice, an ordinary item had its bid soared at an incredible speed.

Lin Neng found a remote spot and sat down quietly. His gaze swept across the entire auction hall. He could tell that most of the people attended the auction were here for this woman.

It had to be said that this female auctioneer was an expert at stirring up the atmosphere. Her every smile would cause the bids to soar. At such times, the woman would smile charmingly at the highest bidder. The bidder who was originally feeling in pain because of the overpriced bid, immediately became spirited.

The atmosphere of the auction hall, under her intentional guidance, always maintained a climax.

“Haha, everyone, our auction hall just got a new auction item. I think that someone will definitely be interested in this item.” After auctioning off the item in her hand, the auctioneer suddenly said with a smile and waved her hand, an attendant hurriedly brought a jade plate with a crystal clear amber on it.

“This is a natural amber. No one knows how many years it has existed!” The delicate hand carefully picked up the amber. The auctioneer’s charming voice caused the auction hall to be slightly quiet. A moment later, it suddenly became noisy again, these rich people liked to collect these weird things.

“Haha, the initial price of the amber is $100,000. Everyone, please start bidding!” The female auctioneer said with a smile. Her gaze moved around the auction hall and finally stopped on the few large clans at the front row. She knew clearly in her heart that these few were the main characters of the bidding competition.
