"How is it?"
Seeing that his colleague had returned, another man in black asked.
In the face of his inquiry, the other party didn't say anything and just took out the black suitcase that Enoya gave him before and handed it over.
Looking at the suitcase in front of him, the man was a little puzzled. He opened the suitcase and looked inside. Shortly after, his expression changed.
The briefcase was filled with stacks of oval-shaped platinum coins with the exclusive seals of the Nine Lights Star and the Holy Church engraved on them. This proved that the platinum coins in front of him were forged by the Holy White City and were the standard currency issued by the Holy Empire, Seth.
Platinum coins were the currency with the highest denomination on the Klein Continent and were generally used for bulk commodity transactions. There were three different specifications, corresponding to 10,000, 100,000, and 1,000,000 gold coins respectively.
And the platinum coins in this suitcase were the highest denomination specifications.
In other words, one platinum coin was equivalent to 1,000,000 gold coins.
And the suitcase was filled with such platinum coins, which meant that …
"What should we do?"
Looking at his colleague's astonished expression, the man in black couldn't help but ask.
It wasn't that they hadn't handled such a large amount of money before, and they had even seen more money than this.
But that was usually when the guests paid for the auction.
And now, someone took out so much money just for the deposit, so it wasn't hard to imagine the meaning behind it.
Originally, they didn't want Jenn to disrupt the order of the auction because they suspected that he was causing trouble through malicious bidding.
That was why they went up to remind him and if he could back off, it would be for the best.
After all, as the managers of the auction, they had to ensure that the entire auction went smoothly and not allow any problems to occur at any time. Otherwise, if the higher-ups blamed them, they would be the ones to suffer.
But they didn't expect the mysterious guest to actually take out so much money, leaving them at a loss.
"All in all, since the guest has taken out the money, there is no need for us to make things difficult for him."
In the end, the man in black said.
"But the current situation is indeed a little strange, so I suggest that we report this matter to Sir and let him decide how to deal with it.
Since the other party is able to take out so much money, I don't think this is the end. No matter what, we must ensure that the auction can go on smoothly. "
At this point, his expression became even more serious.
"You should know that the Royal Theater's underground auction is our signature. Many prestigious families from the Klein Continent will come here. No matter what, we have to handle this matter well. We can't let anything happen to the auction!!"
While the two of them were having a headache because of Jenn, the bidding for the dragon egg was still going on. It had now risen to 500 million gold coins. This price had shocked most of the people, but this obviously did not include Jenn. He glanced at the silent auction house and made a gesture. Soon, the old man raised the sign in his hand again.
"Guest number 39, 1 billion gold coins!"
At this moment, the entire auction house fell into silence. Many people looked at Jenn's box with dissatisfaction and hostility. Before, when Jenn won those items, they didn't particularly mind. But now that things had escalated to this point, these people were naturally unhappy.
Just as the auctioneer said, although the auction was an auction, it wasn't just for auctioning things.
It was just like how nobles didn't host banquets to eat, but to build relationships and attack their enemies.
This rule was the same in the auction house. Before this, everyone did not raise the price too high. Firstly, this was also a way to communicate. Small families were willing to pay more for big families, or they could help their superiors deliberately raise the price so that they could force their superiors' enemies to pay more.
The nobles could even predict the current situation of their political enemies or friends based on the items and prices they bid for, whether the situation in the family was stable or turbulent, or if there was any trouble.
This was all information obtained through repeated battles.
And because of this, the previous bids were very limited. Most of them raised the price by 50 million gold coins. This was also an unspoken agreement in the auction house.
But no one expected that a godly person like Jenn would appear out of nowhere and directly raise the price by 100%. This was basically telling everyone present — You don't deserve to play with me, and I don't want to play with you.
This thing is mine. Hurry up and scram. Withdraw your hand.
If the previous auction items didn't attract the nobles' attention, then this dragon egg was different. In addition to Jenn's aggressive behavior, even the most well-mannered nobles couldn't help but be furious. Soon, a deep and majestic voice sounded from the top box.
"1.5 billion."
Upon hearing this voice, the old butler was taken aback. Then, his expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at Jenn respectfully.
"Sir, this is bad. The one who bid is the leader of the Blue Dragon Knights, Dragon. He is one of the most powerful forces in the Country of Light. If we provoke him, I'm afraid …"
Before the old butler finished speaking, Jenn waved his hand to signal him to shut up. Then, he let out a light snort and said with a smile.
"3 billion."
Zayen's voice was not loud, but it was as clear as if it echoed in everyone's ears, causing a commotion.
Most of the people present were old customers, so they naturally knew who the person in the box was. That was the Blue Dragon Knights, one of the famous forces on the Klein Continent and the pride of the Country of Light.
Not to mention, their leader, Dragon, was also a Sword Saint who had stepped into the Legendary Stage. His Dragon Slaying Swordsmanship was superb, and he even had the merit of challenging and killing a dragon by himself.
With such a background, it was expected that the leader of the Blue Dragon Knights would be so determined to get the dragon egg.
But what was going on with the mysterious owner of the box?
No one would think that Jenn was ignorant because everyone in the box had a local follower. Even if he didn't know who Dragon was, the others would tell him.
So the question was, who exactly was the owner of the mysterious box? Why didn't he care about Dragon?
This time, it was Dragon who was silent. No matter what, he was a warrior. Although the Blue Dragon Knights had a great reputation, the downside of having a big family business was that he spent a lot of money and didn't have enough liquid funds.
Being able to come up with so much money was already his limit. He had always wanted to raise a purebred dragon, but unfortunately, he hadn't been able to do so.
Now that such a good opportunity was in front of him … Dragon gritted his teeth at this thought.
"3.5 billion!"
"5 billion."
Jenn didn't even bat an eyelid as he directly quoted a price that made the leader of the Blue Dragon Knights speechless.
Upon hearing this price, Dragon gritted his teeth, pondered for a moment, and finally let out a cold snort.
Seeing that Dragon didn't speak, the others sighed inwardly. It seemed that the dragon egg was going to be taken away by that mysterious nouveau riche again. At the same time, they were secretly discussing the origin of this mysterious person who didn't even give face to Dragon.
Now that he had offended the Blue Dragon Knights, could he still have a good time?
But no matter what, after Dragon admitted defeat, no one else bid. So after the auctioneer hit the small hammer in his hand, the dragon egg was naturally put into Jenn's pocket again.
The next item to be auctioned was a set of magic armor. This item was also considered priceless, but because no one around Zayen was interested in it, the magic armor was finally sold at a price of 250 million gold coins. It was not a low price, but considering that it was an armor with God's Blessing, it was not too outrageous.
After that, a magic sword appeared. It was made by the elves and had the ability to manipulate plants within a certain range.
More importantly, this magic sword had a beautiful appearance, which was in line with the aesthetic standards of nobles. After some competition, it was sold for 530 million, and was taken away by a buyer in the top box.
The successful deals made everyone present heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, they became more and more confused about Zayen. They initially thought that Zayen was here to cause trouble, and from the looks of it, he really did look like he was here to cause trouble.
But his behavior looked very strange. In the eyes of everyone, if he was here to cause trouble, he should be shouting a high price no matter what he saw. But Jenn wasn't like this. He didn't shout a price at all for things he didn't want, and only shouted a price for things he wanted.
This was a little confusing, but no matter what, it was always a good thing that the auction could go smoothly.
The next item to be auctioned was a manor located on an island in the North Sea. It was originally the property of a noble family in the Country of Glory, but in the previous political struggle, this family stood on the wrong side and lost power. In the end, they had to sell their property to survive.
And now, this manor was the auction item that they had to offer, with a starting price of 200 million gold coins.
However, unlike the previous situation where the nobles were enthusiastically bidding, this time, after the auctioneer announced the base price, very few people bid for it. Only a few people bid up to 350 million, but that was the end of it.
Logically speaking, this was a very unusual thing. One had to know that the manor was considered old, and there were many antiques and artworks in the manor, which added up to far more than this price. But this time, no one bid …
"500 million."
As expected, at this moment, Jenn spoke again.
It's him again …
Hearing this voice, almost everyone was speechless.
A perfectly good auction had almost become a one-man show for Guest No. 39. What exactly is going on?
At this moment, upon hearing Jenn's bid, a middle-aged man in a bright red suit in the top box No. 3 swept a glance at that box with a gloomy expression and said in a low voice.
"Have you investigated that guy's background?"
"Yes, Sir. If I'm not wrong, he should be Jenn from the Barxianon Mens Family …"
"Hmph, a clown."
Upon hearing this answer, the middle-aged man let out a snort and turned to the butler beside him.
"You should know what to do. Go."
"Yes."
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's command, the butler responded, turned around, and left quickly.
And after watching his figure disappear, the middle-aged man turned around, gestured to his entourage, and quickly raised his paddle.
"550 million."
This is really interesting …
Upon hearing this bid, the corners of Jenn's mouth revealed a trace of a smile. He wasn't a fool and had long realized that this manor's auction price was too unusual. Logically speaking, be it the geographical location or transportation conditions, the mansions on the North Sea Island were great, and their safety was also guaranteed.
For such a place, it was normal for the starting price to exceed 500 million to 1 billion. But this time, the starting price was actually only 200 million, and almost no one bid. There must be something fishy going on.
One had to know that apart from the few small families below, only one family in the middle box bid, and the increase wasn't huge, which meant that they knew something fishy was going on …
"Knock knock knock."
Just when Jenn had this thought, the box door was knocked again. Enoya walked over to open the door and saw a man in a black butler suit standing there.
Seeing Jenn, he let out a chuckle and lowered his head.
"Hello, Mr. Bacchanon Mendes, please forgive me for disturbing you during your busy schedule.
I'm a member of the Keynes Family. It's like this, my master asked me to bring you a message. This manor is something that my master has his eyes on for his mother. If Mr. Bacchanon Mendes is willing to let go, then our Keynes Family will definitely help you. "
"Keynes Family?"
Upon hearing this, the corner of Jenn's mouth revealed a faint smile.
"The 'Swan Family' of the Holy Nation, Seth?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing Jenn's question, the man revealed a trace of undisguised pride.
"Since Mr. Bacchanon Mendes knows about the Keynes Family, then I'm sure you also understand how irrational it is to go against our Keynes Family.
I think a smart person like Mr. Bacchanon Mendes should understand the logic of having one more enemy is not as good as one more friend, right? "
"Well said."
Upon hearing the man's words, Jenn nodded.
Upon hearing this, the man's smile widened, but at the next moment, Jenn's words immediately made his smile freeze.
"But it's a pity that I don't see how a mere Keynes Family has the strength to be friends with me …"
While speaking, Jenn stared at the man in front of him and sneered.
"… Mr. Bacchanon Mendes, you really made a foolish choice."
At this moment, the man finally sank his face and said while gritting his teeth.
"We are very clear that your territory isn't big. Do you think such a small place can withstand the thunderous rage of our Keynes Family?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Be it the Keynes Family or the Holy Nation, Seth … They are nothing to me. Don't threaten me with useless things. You can scram now. I don't have any patience for a dog."
"You!
You don't know how to appreciate favors …! "
At this moment, the man's expression changed drastically. But before he could continue speaking, Enoya had already slammed the door shut, blocking the man's furious roar outside. At this moment, Jenn turned around leisurely and raised his wine glass.
"Continue to bid."
