Chapter 633: Chapter 633: Pavilion Master and Marcus Taylor_1
This auction, in addition to being a method for the Capital City Martial Arts Association to recoup capital, was also a symbolic display of strength to the outside world.
Therefore, they would never allow any issues to arise during the auction.
Deploying three black and gold robe figures showed the extent of their attention to this matter.
Of course, the status of the Capital City Martial Arts Association was extremely high, and over the years, no one dared to cause trouble for them.
“The capital recovery this time must reach at least ten billion,” Jordan Richards said to the two black and gold robe figures beside him.
The two slightly nodded their heads and then said, “This isn’t really our concern. Our main responsibility is to maintain order at the scene.”
Jordan Richards remained silent, sweeping his gaze over the venue before retreating to one side.
With only one arm, Jordan Richards appeared somewhat odd.
Thus, the Capital City Martial Arts Association did not want Jordan Richards to show face, for it would be a disgrace to them.
This also filled Jordan Richards with hatred for Ethan Smith.
As time flew by, various aristocratic families from all over the country arrived at the venue by eight o’clock in the morning.
These families included both martial arts aristocracy and ordinary wealthy individuals.
At the entrance, luxury cars had already filled the parking area.
There were countless Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, and so on.
They all had one thing in common – carrying a large amount of cash with them.
At this time, however, a black-robed man was sitting in a car not far away.
It was none other than Ethan Smith.
Ethan Smith coldly watched the auction house entrance, a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, Ethan Smith suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
“Huh? The Pavilion Master is here too?”
Only to see a graceful figure slowly get out of a car.
By her side were two other individuals, one of whom was Sofia Carrillo.
With the help of the Pavilion Master, Sofia Carrillo’s face now barely showed any traces of injury.
However, Sofia Carrillo did not appear happy, looking incredibly desolate instead.
Ethan Smith’s eyebrows furrowed, and he murmured, “Does the Pavilion Master also want something?”
In addition to the Pavilion Master, Ethan Smith saw several other familiar figures.
People from the Blair family, the Bradley family, and even the Taylor family were all present.
Sofia Carrillo nodded in partial understanding. After a moment, she whispered, “Anyway, there are a lot of good things.”
As she spoke, the auctioneer walked onto the stage.
Then, the door slowly closed.
From backstage, several white-robed martial artists stepped out.
They stood on both sides of the corridor, exuding an impressive and powerful aura.
In the shadows were Jordan Richards and three black-gold-robed individuals.
They released their divine senses, covering the entire venue, ready to act quickly in case of any accident.
The auctioneer walked onto the stage and started speaking with a faint smile, “Capital City Martial Arts Association’s annual auction begins now!”
“This time, we have prepared a total of thirty auction items for everyone!”
Thirty items – this was the largest number of items the Capital City Martial Arts Association had offered in recent years!
Not only that, but the Capital City Martial Arts Association had also spared no expense in preparing several Dharma Treasures!
The reason for this was simple – the higher-ups realized the dissatisfaction from above, so they had to put on a good performance.
“I must obtain the Seven-Coloured Glaze at this auction,” the Pavilion Master thought.
Soon, the auction started, and various treasures were presented, one after another.
There were ordinary antiques and paintings, as well as magical artifacts and herbs for martial artists.
“The next auction item is the Seven-Coloured Glaze!” Before long, the auctioneer brought out a glaze cup glowing with seven-colored light.
Upon seeing the glaze cup, the Pavilion Master’s eyes lit up slightly.
“The Seven-Coloured Glaze is a treasure obtained by the Capital City Martial Arts Association from abroad. It’s said that it has an indescribable effect on refining medicine, making the process twice as efficient with half the effort,” the auctioneer said with a faint smile.
“Starting bid, 80 million!”
Someone at the venue quickly called out a bid. In just over ten minutes, the Seven-Coloured Glaze was raised to over 300 million.
“It’s almost time to make a move,” the Pavilion Master said.
She slowly raised her hand and said, “500 million.”
As soon as she spoke, everyone turned to look at the Pavilion Master.
“It turns out to be the Lord of Medicine God Pavilion.” After seeing the Pavilion Master’s face, everyone immediately lost the will to compete.
“This item should be the most suitable one for the Pavilion Master,” someone commented.
“800 million!”
However, a discordant voice rang out.
They saw Marcus Taylor looking at the Pavilion Master with a half-smile.
