Realm of Power

"Of course, this is my honor!" Mrs. Susanna's face was very pale, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was uglier than crying. "Madam, this is your dress!" Keith Vivian held a gorgeous aristocratic dress in her hands. Walking in, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the fat man.

Seeing that Mrs. Susanna was about to change clothes in the room, the fat man walked out of the room consciously. Keith Vivian, who was standing at the door, stared at the fat man's back in a daze with a complex expression.

The door to the room slowly closed, and the fat man could hear an imaginative sound of changing clothes coming from inside. Thinking of the beautiful Lady Susanna naked in the room at this time, the fat man felt a heartbeat of temptation, as if the air was filled with Ambiguous aroma.

After a while, Mrs. Susanna in a blue water-colored dress and Jones Nelly in a yellow light-colored dress appeared at the door at the same time, but Keith Vivian followed behind in a plain and elegant water-colored dress. The three women The bright spring scenery made the fat man salivate.

After leaving the door of the hotel, a white carriage stopped outside. The emblem of the Chas family was printed on the door. Two driving waiters opened the carriage door respectfully.

"We are guests from afar! Just take my carriage." Mrs. Susanna politely greeted the fat man and Jones Nelly to get into her carriage. The fat man sat next to Jones Nelly, and Lady Susanna and Keith Vivian sat at the other end.

The carriage was traveling in the black night, and the flickering firelight on the street was refracted into the dark interior of the carriage, printing the imaginative silhouettes of the three women. The body fragrance of the three women made the fat man feel on pins and needles, especially when Mrs. Susanna occasionally glanced at her. The charming look in his eyes made the fat man sweat on his forehead, and he thought in his heart, "It's a disaster! It's all a disaster!"

The carriage stopped at the door of the largest auction house in the city. The waiter opened the door. The three women who stepped out of the carriage immediately attracted the eyes of everyone outside the auction house. The door of the auction house, which was bustling with people just now, suddenly fell into dead silence. One is already stunning, let alone seeing three at once. Mrs. Susanna is a little older. In Jones, Nelly, Keith Vivian is the youngest. People who don’t know, would think they are sisters from some family, but she is the last one to get off the bus. No one pays attention to a fat man. Who would look at a fat man when there are beautiful women looking at him?

"What a disaster!" The fat man looked around at the men with salivating faces and shook his head helplessly. The three women seemed not to care about the sensation caused outside the auction house. Jones Nelly is the most beautiful woman in the north, and Lady Susanna It was Keith Vivian, the number one witch in Ziva Cheze, who was following Mrs. Susanna. She had long been accustomed to such scenes, and only the fat man felt a little sour in his heart.

At the spacious door of the auction house, there were several waiters in formal uniforms checking the invitations of the guests who entered. On both sides of the door, there were ten Samoan soldiers standing, indicating that the Samoan military recognized the results of the bidding.

"Distinguished guests, please show your invitation!" The waiter at the door waved to stop the three women, and explained with an apologetic expression, "Because we are bidding for Kyoto shops tonight, guests who have not received the invitation cannot enter the auction house. Please also Please forgive me!”

"I am Susanna from the Chas family, and this is my invitation." Mrs. Susanna's fair and delicate arms waved slightly, and Keith Vivian, who was following behind her, quickly handed over the invitation.

"Who are these two?" The waiter took it, examined it carefully, and looked at Fatty and Jones Nelly with a serious face, "They are my partners!" Mrs. Susanna had a charming smile on her face. "We are bidding together this time! Without them, I can't do it alone."

Hearing that it was Mrs. Susanna's partner, the waiter at the door did not ask any more questions. Because tonight's bidding was relatively fierce, many families chose to bid in partnership. This form of partnership to form a caravan is not uncommon in Zhivadin. Eight of the top ten business families in Ding are composed of several or more than a dozen families. Even the business alliance itself was formed by Governor Samour integrating the resources of dozens of families.

"Dear guests, your room is in private room No. 13 on the second floor!" The waiter at the door handed the invitation to a waiting guide at the door. "Please follow the guide, he will take you there."

The three women followed the guide into the auction hall. The space inside was not large. In order to ensure that the guests could see the auction items clearly, the seats were compact and close to the auction table. There were 100 ordinary seats on the first floor, and there were 100 ordinary seats on the second and third floors. It was a private room, with several large pots of bonfires burning on the surrounding walls. A bright circular lamp hung on the roof, with more than a dozen bright torches stuck on it, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime. Go up the stairs at the corner and you will find the private room on the second floor.

The fat man accompanied the three women to the second floor. Although the auction house was designed by the fat man himself, it was also the first time for the fat man to come here. Number 13 on the second floor was located in the left corner of the second floor of the auction house. The box was paved with red There was a velvet carpet, and a bottle of orange-red pine cone was placed on the table.

Next to it are six elegant goblets, and leather chairs surround the city. You can clearly see the auction table on the first floor. The unique lighting opening design allows the bright firelight of the hall to only shine into part of it, so that you can Allow guests to bid with confidence without fear of being identified.

Not long after the fat man sat down, the auction started. A thin, middle-aged businessman walked up to the front desk with a serious face. On the wall behind him, there was a huge map of Kyoto shops hanging. The wooden stick in the businessman's hand points to the front store on the map.

"Dear guests, please see, this is the first shop we are about to bid for. It is located at the westernmost corner of Kyoto Governor's Palace, directly opposite the south gate of Kyoto..."

It was obvious that the middle-aged businessman who gave the explanation was a knowledgeable veteran. Not only did he clearly explain the geographical advantages and suitable goods of each store, but he also commented on the value of each store, even down to the details. The decoration of the shop, its location, and the passage for the carriage to unload goods made many customers nod their heads. With just a sharp tongue, this middle-aged businessman almost controlled everyone's hearts.

"His name is Tatu Dings," Susanna pointed to the middle-aged businessman below and explained to Jones in a low voice. "He is one of the twelve deacons of the Business Alliance. He is best at managing money and seizing business opportunities. He is known as the "Vulture" in the business world. , he was actually sent to explain this bidding meeting, which shows that the business alliance attaches great importance to this bidding "

After a burst of passionate explanation by Tatudings, the guests in the audience could no longer contain their excitement. Their eyes were shining, and they were looking back and forth on the map on the wall, trying to find a location they were satisfied with.

The bidding started from some inconspicuous locations, with prices ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and finally the No. 16 store with the best location, the bidding became fierce.

"Two hundred and eighty thousand gold coins!" The guest in box No. 6 held up a sign indicating a price increase. "Three hundred thousand gold coins." Not to be outdone, the guest in box No. 8's bidding price soared, finally stopping at 40 in box number 9. The position of ninety thousand gold coins,

"Who else wants to increase the price?" The auctioneer looked at the surrounding boxes and asked twice in succession. The hammer he raised was about to fall. From the box No. 15 next to the fat man, a clear female voice came out, "Sixty Ten thousand gold coins!”

"Wow!" This unprecedentedly high price made the whole audience go into an uproar. They looked around for the bidder. Even Mrs. Susanna was shocked by the price and had the urge to go next door to take a look.

"Is there anyone else raising the price?" The auctioneer's voice trembled slightly. This was the highest price he had ever seen in his life. Tonight was destined to be his most glorious moment. As an auctioneer, the most glorious thing is to sell the highest price. price.

"Six hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!" The customer in Box No. 9 seemed to be determined to get this shop and raised the price by another fifty thousand.

"Seven hundred thousand gold coins"! The female voice in the box on the 15th followed. She could not hear any pressure. It seemed that she was not talking about the golden coins, but the game of comparing numbers.

"Who is this crazy woman!" Prince Richardolisis, who was sitting in Box 9, his face as gray as dirt, represented the royal family in the shop bidding this time. If he could not win the best shop, not only would he It was embarrassing for him, and even more so for the royal family, but the other party was obviously much more powerful than him. He threw away 700,000 gold coins without even blinking. He couldn't afford to accompany such a lunatic.

"President Situhan!" At the same time, Caesar Sauron, who was sitting in the second box, asked in a low voice, President Situhan next to him, "Using such a valuable location to implement this plan, I wonder if the gain outweighs the loss?"

"I don't know!" Si Duhan shook his head in confusion. "Your Excellency personally planned this matter. I am only responsible for the intermediate link, and I don't know much about the whole plan. But I think since Your Excellency spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins to There must be a reason for implementing this plan!” Please recommend and collect!
