Marvel's King of the Undead
Chapter 320 Auction
U.K,
London,
There is a small town about thirty kilometers away from the city.
On the surface, this town looks like any other English town;
A slightly empty street,
A smooth and quiet path,
A series of very British-style huts are neatly arranged on both sides of the road.
But if you keep looking back along the arrangement of houses, you will find that at the very end of the town,
There is an ancient and solemn castle. There is a small slope below the castle, making the castle's terrain significantly higher than other houses.
Looking down from the sky, the castle is like the owner of the town, standing at the top of the town, overlooking the civilians below.
In the Middle Ages,
This castle was the residence of a nobleman;
but now,
Although the appearance has been preserved due to proper maintenance, the people living there have long since changed.
right now,
The owner of this castle is John Depp.
He is an out-and-out American, but he has lived in the UK all year round. On the surface, he appears to be a wealthy philanthropist, but privately he is the owner of a world-famous auction house.
His castle is his base and the location where he holds his annual auction.
It's raining lightly all over the UK today.
There were scattered local residents on the road hurriedly walking through the alley with umbrellas in their hands.
suddenly,
A low and powerful sound of an engine broke the tranquility of the town.
A black modified Rolls-Royce drove into the town. Normally, this kind of modified luxury car would be eye-catching even in the busiest downtown area.
But on the road on the edge of the town, he didn't even raise his head.
After that,
A dozen identical Rolls-Royces followed closely behind.
After the convoy entered the town, it sped along and finally stopped right in front of the castle.
Subsequently,
The car door is opened,
One by one, men and women dressed in luxurious clothes got out of the car and walked into the castle with the support of the accompanying security guards.
As soon as I entered the castle,
An old man who looked like a butler came up to him. He didn't say anything, but just took the lead and started walking in front.
Behind the old man,
The group of guests didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with the old man's behavior.
They all lowered their heads and followed the team in front,
After walking through the narrow and cramped retro corridor,
The space in front suddenly opens up.
This is a hall,
Whether it is the exquisite reliefs on the stone pillars in the hall or the huge luxurious crystals on the top of the hall, they all show the importance that the castle owner attaches to this hall.
At the very back of the hall,
There is a high platform with nothing on it.
Beneath the high platform,
There are no more, no less, exactly fifty seats arranged.
Under the command of the old housekeeper,
The newly arrived guests took their seats one by one.
After a brief commotion,
All the guests were seated. The dim lights and warm environment should have made people feel sleepy.
But at this time, the guests present did not feel sleepy at all, and they were all staring at the empty high platform.
Ten minutes of silence passed,
suddenly,
Several spotlights on the high platform suddenly lit up,
The sudden appearance of light dazzled everyone in the audience.
When they opened their eyes again, a man wearing a black suit, a wide-brimmed hat, and a delicate mustache had appeared in the spotlight.
"Welcome everyone,
Although some of the people present have been my old friends for a long time, I would like to introduce myself here.
My name is,
John Depp. "
As soon as John finished speaking,
The audience suddenly burst into applause.
The guests who were originally as quiet as chickens were as excited as if they had won the lottery.
After a while,
The applause goes out,
John Depp chuckled and shook his shoulders, looking very satisfied with the crowd's enthusiasm.
“Not much nonsense, I believe that everyone who came here today is not just to see me.
Then,
Then the auction officially begins.
Today's auction will be hosted by myself as usual. Here is the first auction item. "
John Depp continued,
He looked a bit aristocratic when he was standing still in formal clothes.
But as soon as you open your mouth,
John Depp's body would subconsciously sway from side to side, and the shaking would completely destroy the original aristocratic temperament on his body.
Seen from a distance,
At this time, John Depp is more like a second-rate kid on the street with nothing to do.
quickly,
The old housekeeper came up from the background, holding a document in his hand.
"Ahem...
let me see
This is a design drawing of a new weapon just developed by Hammer Industries.
what,
As far as I know, several of the guests below have private armed forces, which is a good thing. "
John Depp continued to sway and said,
His antics paired with his flirtatious tone made him look like he was hosting a gangster party.
But his disobedient actions did not affect the enthusiasm of the guests below at all, and one after another people began to bid.
time flies,
The auction is coming to an end,
The atmosphere now is obviously much more lively than before, and there seems to be a strong smell of gunpowder between the different seats.
"Now it's time for our finale. I believe this thing will not disappoint everyone."
John Depp's voice suddenly became quieter;
Just like children whispering to each other, they said into the microphone: "Take it out."
quickly,
The old housekeeper came up again,
But this time, the expression on the old housekeeper's face was obviously different.
It seemed that the long auction not only did not make him feel tired, but also made him more energetic.
John Depp took a wooden box over one meter long from the old butler's hand.
immediately,
In front of all the guests in the audience,
John Depp gently opened the box and took out a golden scepter.
Under the spotlight,
The metal scepter reflected dazzling light,
but,
What caught everyone's attention was not the scepter itself, but the yellow gem on the top of the scepter.
"The starting price is 10 billion."
John Depp holds the scepter in his hand, with an expression on his face that looks like he is reading.
"11 billion"
"13 billion"
"20 billion"
...........
No need for too much introduction at all,
Every guest present knew the origin of this scepter, and most of them even came just to take photos of this rare object from the universe.
"50 billion"
"55 billion"
Prices keep rising,
John Depp did not say some irritating words next to him,
He just watched silently as the people in the audience fought for a scepter with red faces.
Simultaneously,
John Depp quietly looked at his right hand,
In his right hand is a very compact mobile phone, and the number displayed on it is the remuneration he can earn from this auction.
suddenly,
John Depp was slightly startled,
Then he narrowed his eyes,
When he looked at the phone screen carefully again, his eyes widened.
Just now,
The number on the screen suddenly changed from 14 billion to 100 billion.
John Depp raised his head subconsciously,
Just about to say something,
A huge explosion was heard from above.
